I would pick Yaris Hybrid, I think its way better technology then small turbo engines which can be unreliable and shaky at idle, also they have strange vibration and noise, like diesel and they have turbo lag. Also Kia 1.0 tend to overheat so keep your eye on temp. Their average engine life is around 200.000 km, Toyota is bullet proof. Auto transmission of Kia cant compete with marvel of technology ecvt (reliability, maintanance, efficiency). Also fuel consumption of Kia will be average 6.5 L/100 (www.spritmonitor.de/en/overview/23-Kia/214-Rio.html?fueltype=2&constyear_s=2018&power_s=74&power_e=75) and Yaris Hybrid will have 4.2 L/100 average (old model has 4.8 l/100 average on that same site where users post their fuel consumption stats www.spritmonitor.de/en/evaluation/economic_models.html ) . Also there is environmental factor and CO2 emission which are important for our planet. Why would you buy city car without electric power I really dont know and understand. Driving in Yaris is quiter then in Rio also handling is much better. Cant compare these cars, Yaris is one step higher but is also a bit pricier.
I have a 2019 Rio GT line DCT and it is almost two now and I love it, amazing car for the money and feels very responsive to drive and cheap to run, here in the UK the fixed service charge for 3 years is £450 which I paid at the time of purchase.
@@johnnylong3108 its cause the GR Yaris is totally different. It's light with a 257 Hp with 360nm of torque with all wheel drive. That thing is gonna be a rocket ship
Ordered a kia rio gt-line. Features mentioned at 1'23" are available on my car except for head up display. I live in Belgium. I also saw other reviews from Australia that the gt-line comes with manual ac. In Europe the gt-line comes with automatic ac. Greetings :-)
Kia Rio is $24990 drive away and the Yaris ZR is over $33758 drive away in Sydney. LOL you can buy a ZR Corolla for a $2000 more. Why would anyone spend that much on a Yaris?
@@creatineenjoyer7345 that's almost next class above money.I seemed to remember ages ago one could get a Corolla for similar money to a Peugeot 206 or Renault Clio and their successors but those days are gone.a better buy if if it has to be a toyota is a 2018 or 2019 current corolla hatch.
Can't believe the US variants don't have half of what Canadians/Austrlians get. We have no sun roof & heated seats are not there. Is there a reason for this? Besides cost, they should just make it an option with the car cause some ppl love having a sunroof. I envy you for having this "GT line"
Both these cars are their top spec in their respective categories so i'd say it's pretty apples v apples here. But that's just it - the Yaris IS that much more expensive than the Rio.
If the top spec Yaris hybrid was within $2500 of the Rio then I would definitely take the Yaris, but here, the price difference is fairly substantial and when considering the non-hybrid model, the Rio has the better powertrain. Generally I don't like Toyota's interior and exterior design, here they actually did a great job with the interior, it looks modern and fresh but not cheap or boring. Just wish Toyota did away with their rubbish tiny infotainment screens with big bezels etc but the Rio looks has the much more handsome exterior.
I would not worry about push button starts.the Rio is good for what it is.one could do a lot worse given the shortage especially on the used lots for them currently.
I was driving a 2017 Holden Spark(which is more Picanto class of vehicle)overall servicing including wheel alignments in the time I had it well under 1500.it was sadly totalled and written off thanks to a truck recently.
To compare Kia with Toyota is ridiculous How many Kias will give you an excellent and reliable lifetime? Therefore as always the Toyota resale value is much better. History is a good lesson.
@john smith 5 year old Yaris in my country goes for 13000€ 100000km. Kia goes for 8000€. Let alone the fact that yaris will easily run next 200000km no trouble. Cant say the same with kia.
I had to some comparing with the prices in my country. Wonder how the prices are so much different there. Yaris premium: 26 000€ Kia Rio Gt line: 25 336€
Buy a Kia you get to go on holiday for a few weeks. Buy a Toyota, a weekend break is all you can afford thats the difference. Resale valve on a 5 or 10 year toyota thats got x amount of kms on the clock, i'll take a brand new kia anytime. Drive it for 10 years thats a far better deal. who cares about resale valve when you know the car is just worth scrap. 2012 Kia Rio 180000kms still going strong. by friends rio 320000kms still going
@@nhg167 true.I sat in one recently and it has everything I need.not seen the latest Yaris so cannot comment but knew someone who drove an older one but as she needed room for her walker had to sell it for a small wagon nice enough and my former sister in law had the first models which is not a bad car but not for anything other than city or local commuting.You would not want to go from say Toorak to Chadstone or Burnside to Marion in such a car.
Something about the Yaris screams cheap. Mat Watson shook the side panels of the car. The Rio just something about it just a shouts that it looks a lot larger and more sporty so I’d get that. Plus in the UK you cannot get the Yaris as a manual gearbox so the Rio wins for me. Then again the auto Yaris would be perfect for young people because they can put be fucked to push the clutch to change gear.
Think about this.At top of the line price,you can have a Kia Cerato GT,or Hyundai i30 Nline.Only the mathematically challenged would buy the ugly,underperforming and overpriced Yaris.
over priced for what it is the Rio Gt Line.I almost bought one $24500 after discounts and on roads were factored into as a replacement for my now written off Holden Spark 2017 model but the financing fell through coupled with the dealership not letting me using the same company I did for the previous car making me use their bank.i ended up getting a 2008 Mazda 3 Maxx from Easy Auto 123 for 30% once we factored in alarms and on roads less the deposit less than this same amount of airbags but get this none of this dual clutch automatic rubbish,a proper size small car(after what happened to the Spark I refuse to drive anything smaller than say Corolla/Impreza/3/Civic class cars)2.0l four cylinder none turbo 108kw so plenty of power to escape in an emergency and if I need any parts I can use a wrecker for the most part.One would be insane to look at any of the new age light cars.even a later anything than mine in the next class if you shop around carefully makes more sense.An Insurance Pay Out paid for the Spark's replacement with some change to spare.It was driving a Rental Astra from Right2Drive that prompted me to stay away from baby hatches at all costs not just for my own safety but also peace of mind.

A year ago rented 6 speed manual Rio in Tasmania. I was impressed it was a fun drive, mainly due to transmission.

$30k for a Yaris! Are you kidding?
GR YARIS price range is $40K - $50K AUD 😂😂🤔🤔

Getting my gt line perrrinel grey colour end of August..
Kia looks more mature

Strange pricing indeed. Would never buy a yaris at that price. Gimme a corola

Can't believe Kia dropped the fancy LED taillights... They're the best feature on my 2020 gt line!!!

I'm sure when the Kia Rio GT line first come out it had a 88 kw turbo engine and now it's down to 74
Should of had the 1.6t anyways
After the price the comparison should’ve stopped haha
I hope KIA will bring the GT line to the US. I just love that yellow looking car
You should compare similar spec car not top range. Then you would get less price difference or none.
Yes but that won't fit their narrative.
Both these cars are their top spec in their respective categories so i'd say it's pretty apples v apples here. But that's just it - the Yaris IS that much more expensive than the Rio.

Just wish Toyota did away with their rubbish tiny infotainment screens with big bezels etc but the Rio looks has the much more handsome exterior.
I'd give it to the Rio for its price, warranty, and much bigger info screen. Too bad it doesn't have push button start and blind spot monitoring.
I would not worry about push button starts.the Rio is good for what it is.one could do a lot worse given the shortage especially on the used lots for them currently.
Question: why at 0:4:21 the lady mentions higher maintenance cost? What is included in both cars under cost if they are under warranty
The Rio is 4 cylinder at all models? The video says 3 cylinder
It is a 3 cylinder - this is the GT-line which is a 3 Cylinder 1L Turbo
S and sport models with the NA engines are 4 cylinder. The GT line is 3 cylinder turbo charged.
The mediocre boot on the yaris is a deal breaker.
service costs are just bullshit for small cars
I wondering what they mean
I was driving a 2017 Holden Spark(which is more Picanto class of vehicle)overall servicing including wheel alignments in the time I had it well under 1500.it was sadly totalled and written off thanks to a truck recently.
Please help me.
i want to buy car : KIA RIO or Toyota yaris ??
Rio gt line
Just what a 1L turbo needs, an auto!
I have this car and it is a DCT not an energy zapping fluid auto, it's great it feels like a 2.0 litre car of the 90's as far as performance goes.
Imagine a Rio GR with the Hyundai Kia 1.6 turbo
❤👍😘KIA😘👍❤
🤮🤢💩KIA💩🤢🤮
Kia Rio is a game changer in the car would. shame they are starting to use dopey space saver wheels. keep it cheap and simple!
First car…. In South Africa you need to be making bank to afford either of these
