Yaris
Fundamentally not a benchmark light hatch,
unless you’re talking reliability and low cost of
ownership. But nameplate brings some trust
Ascent $15,390 L4 1.3 63 120 M5 1025 — 5.8

ZR $22,670 L4 1.5 80 141 A4 1055 — 6.4
Prius C
Overlook the cheapo feel and dull dynamics
and it’s an economical non-diesel light hatch.
Low expectations: the secret to a happy life
$24,040 L4H 1.5 74 169 C 1120 — 3.9
i-Tech $26,540 L4H 1.5 74 169 C 1140 — 3.9
Corolla Sedan
Corolla sedan soldiers on alongside the night-
and-day-better new hatch. Plenty of space
for your buck, but wait for the new one

Corolla Hatch
TNGA platform serves up a Corolla that rides
and handles! Safety kit and ZR-spec cabin
class are pluses, but rear seat and boot tight

Camry
Dynamics and looks join performance, value
and dependability in a Japanese-built Camry
that’s at its best in Hybrid Ascent or SL form
Ascent $27,790 L4 2.5 133 231 A6 1490 — 7.8

Prius Hatch
No longer dull – okay to drive, with expected
frugality, surprising cabin polish, and rear
headroom compromised by teardrop profile
$36,440 L4H 1.8 90 142 C 1375 — 3.4
i-Tech $43,900 L4H 1.8 90 142 C 1400 — 3.4
ModelS
Surprisingly exciting to drive, much-lauded
game-changer with mega-tablet centre stack.
