How the 2011 Toyota Yaris Compares With Toyota’s Lineup

Pricing, power, fuel economy, towing, drivetrain, and fuel type help define how the Yaris fits among same-year Toyota models in its size class. The Yaris has a starting MSRP of $13,955; MSRP excludes tax, title, registration and dealer fees.

Compared with the 2011 Toyota Matrix, the Yaris starts at $13,955 versus $19,565 and produces 106 horsepower versus the Matrix’s 132–158 hp. The Yaris returns 29 city and 35 highway MPG, while the Matrix is rated at 21–25 city and 28–32 highway MPG; the Yaris suits buyers focused on lower entry pricing and fuel economy, while the Matrix offers more power and a 1,500-pound maximum towing figure.

Compared with the 2011 Toyota Prius, the Yaris starts at $13,955 versus $22,120 and uses a 106-horsepower gasoline engine, while the Prius has 134 horsepower and EPA fuel economy of 51 city and 48 highway MPG. Both use front-wheel drive and regular unleaded fuel, making the Yaris a fit for buyers prioritizing a lower starting price and the Prius a fit for shoppers prioritizing the stated fuel-economy figures.

Specifications and Configuration

The 2011 Toyota Yaris comes in one trim rather than a choice of trims. Its 1.5-liter inline-4 engine has 1,496 cc of displacement, 103 lb-ft of torque, peak power at 6,000 rpm, and peak torque at 4,200 rpm. Power reaches the front wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission.

This hatchback measures 150.6 inches long, 66.7 inches wide, and 60 inches high on a 96.9-inch wheelbase. Curb weight is 2,355 pounds, fuel capacity is 11.1 gallons, and cargo space behind the rear seats is 9.3 cubic feet. Regular unleaded fuel supports its 29 city MPG and 35 highway MPG ratings.

What to Weigh Before Buying

Consider whether the Yaris’s single-trim configuration, compact hatchback dimensions, four-speed automatic transmission, and front-wheel drive match daily driving needs. Its 9.3 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats and 11.1-gallon fuel capacity are useful measurements to compare with routine passenger and cargo requirements.

Fuel economy is another clear consideration: the Yaris is rated at 29 city MPG and 35 highway MPG on regular unleaded fuel. Shoppers comparing it with the Matrix or Prius should weigh the stated differences in starting price, horsepower, fuel economy, and towing capability against how the vehicle will be used.
