Toyota Yaris Lease Deals

The Toyota Yaris is a small five-door hatchback sold with one powertrain: a self-charging 1.5-litre hybrid that never needs plugging in. It's the car for drivers who spend most of their time in town, want an automatic, and would rather not think about charging cables.

This is the fourth-generation Yaris, on sale in this form since 2020. It sits below the Corolla in Toyota's range and above the smallest models, at about 3.94 metres long with five seats and a 286-litre boot.

The choice is simple: one body, one hybrid powertrain, and four trims - Icon, Design, Excel and GR Sport - with a handful of option packs on top.

About the Toyota Yaris

The Yaris is Toyota's compact hybrid hatchback, built around economy and ease rather than drama. Reviewers consistently praise its real-world fuel economy, its build quality and how easy it is to place in town, and just as consistently point out that rear space and the 286-litre boot are tight for the class.

Toyota has been building petrol-electric hybrids for decades, and it shows in how unobtrusive this one feels. Every Yaris is an automatic, front-wheel drive, with five seats, a 3-year or 60,000-mile manufacturer warranty and a 4-star Euro NCAP rating.

Road testers generally describe the cabin as solidly assembled rather than plush - dark plastics low down, but switchgear that feels built to last.

Why lease a Toyota Yaris?

Because the running costs suit a fixed monthly budget. WLTP economy runs from 67.2 to 70.6 mpg depending on version, CO2 sits between 91 and 99 g/km, and insurance groups span 13 to 16 - all of which keeps the surrounding costs of a lease predictable.

Every version gets adaptive cruise control, a rear-view camera, Apple CarPlay, lane-keep assist, autonomous emergency braking, automatic high beam, rain-sensing wipers, DAB radio and an electric parking brake. Euro NCAP scored it 72% for adult occupant protection, 84% for child occupants and 83% for vulnerable road users.

Practically, it's a 286-litre boot with the rear seats up and 947 litres folded, an 11.0-metre turning circle and a 36-litre fuel tank. Braked towing is 450 kg, so a small trailer only.

Which Yaris powertrain is right for me?

There's only one, which makes this easy: a self-charging 1.5-litre hybrid, automatic, front-wheel drive. No plug, no charging routine, no home wallbox needed. If you want a small automatic that looks after its own fuel use, that's the whole decision made.

Hybrid (self-charging)

A 1.5-litre three-cylinder petrol engine works with a small 0.7 kWh battery that recharges as you drive and brake. Power is 114 to 128 bhp depending on version, 0-62 mph takes 9.2 to 9.7 seconds, and the gearbox is a single-speed automatic. It suits town and suburban driving best.

Which Yaris trim should I choose?

Four trims, and the jump that matters most is Design to Excel - that's where the parking sensors, blind-spot monitoring and wireless charging arrive. Icon and Design cover the basics well; GR Sport is about how the car looks and sits.

Image for illustration purposes only. The actual vehicle and specification may differ.

Icon

The entry trim, with 114 bhp, 16-inch 5 Spoke chrome-finish alloy wheels and cloth seats. You get wireless smartphone integration with Apple CarPlay, a leather-trimmed three-spoke steering wheel, a reversing camera with static guide lines, full-range adaptive cruise control, traffic sign recognition, air conditioning, front fog lights and power-folding mirrors.

The Icon is currently available from £267.76 a month.

Design

Design keeps the 114 bhp hybrid but switches to 16-inch 5 Spoke black machined-face alloys and adds LED headlights, a digital instrument cluster, privacy glass, voice control and Android Auto alongside Apple CarPlay. Cloth upholstery again. For a lot of drivers this is the sensible middle ground.

The Design is currently available from £271.46 a month. Against the Icon, that is currently £3.71/mo more expensive.

Excel

Excel steps up to the 128 bhp hybrid, 17-inch 5 Spoke alloys and part-leather upholstery, with keyless smart entry and push-button start, wireless charging, built-in navigation, front and rear parking sensors, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, active lane-change assist, dual-zone climate, ambient lighting and front sports seats.

The Excel is currently available from £316.93 a month. Against the Design, that is currently £45.47/mo more expensive.

GR Sport

GR Sport is mainly about appearance and stance rather than extra equipment: 18-inch 10 Spoke alloys, Alcantara upholstery, sports suspension, a perforated leather steering wheel and the 128 bhp hybrid. Worth knowing that bigger wheels and firmer springs make the ride noticeably busier.

The GR Sport is currently available from £331.75 a month. Against the Excel, that is currently £14.82/mo more expensive.

Option packs sit on top of a trim rather than replacing it. Depending on the version you choose, these can include a 17" Alloy Pack, a Safety Pack, a Panoramic Roof Pack with a manual sunshade for the panoramic moon roof, and a Bi-tone Pack. Fourteen paint colours are offered across the range, several of them with a contrasting Eclipse black roof. Our team can check what's genuinely available on a given build before you commit - the guide to choosing your spec is a useful read first, and if you're weighing hybrid against electric, the electric and hybrid guides cover the differences. You'll find the rest of the range on our Toyota leasing page.
