Honda City Aspire vs Toyota Yaris Facelift
Toyota Indus Motors has recently unveiled the upgraded Yaris, featuring a sportier front design, cosmetic enhancements, and a youthful overall style paired with Toyota’s reliable 1.3 or 1.5 NR series engine.
For prospective buyers considering the new Yaris, the Honda City Aspire 1.5L is likely to be in the running as well. To help you decide, here’s a side-by-side comparison of both models:
Pricing and Features
The Toyota Yaris 1.5L Ativ X CVT (black int.) is priced at PKR 6,319,000, whereas the Honda City Aspire CVT 1.5L costs PKR 5,849,000.

Writer’s Perspective
Regardless of your choice, the new Yaris offers excellent value, surpassing the City in several aspects. Despite the PKR 470,000 price difference, opting for the Yaris gets you Toyota’s emblem, projector headlamps, an additional airbag, Hill Assist, VSA, TC, parking sensors, and two extra speakers, all packaged in a youthful and dynamic design.
The Honda City, despite having a 12 horsepower advantage, lacks some fundamental features compared to the Yaris, and its front design pales in comparison.

In conclusion, unless you strongly prefer Honda, the Yaris at a slightly higher cost would likely provide a superior deal. Alternatively, consider lower Yaris variants if the PKR 6.31 million budget is too steep.
