Main Differences Explained

1. New vs. Used

This is the most important point. The Dzire is a current model you can buy new. The Yaris is discontinued and you can only buy it used.

2. Size and Performance

• Toyota Yaris: It is a bigger and more powerful car. It feels stronger on highways.
• Maruti Dzire: It is a smaller car tuned for city driving and saving fuel. It also has a CNG option for even lower running costs.

3. Safety

• The new Maruti Dzire has a top 5-star safety rating.
• The Toyota Yaris was known for excellent safety when new, with features like 7 airbags.

4. Cost

• Buying Cost: The Dzire is a new car with a known price. A used Yaris price will depend on its age and condition.
• Running Cost: The Dzire will be much cheaper to run because it uses much less petrol (or CNG).

Choose a USED Toyota Yaris if you:

• Value the excellent safety features (7 airbags) it offered when new.
• Don’t mind higher fuel costs for more power and space.
