    In the UK, the 2015 Toyota Yaris Hybrid generally returns good fuel economy.
    Common problems can include problems with the hybrid system, brakes (sometimes "jerky"), and occasional noises in the suspension or dashboard.
    Maintenance tips:
    - Follow Toyota's regular maintenance schedule,
    - Monitor the condition of the hybrid battery,
    Bear in mind that the petrol engine has a timing chain that does not require periodic replacement.

    The 2015 Toyota Yaris Hybrid is widely praised in the UK for its excellent fuel efficiency, especially for daily commuting and urban driving. Official figures claim a combined fuel economy of around 85.6 miles per gallon (mpg) under ideal conditions, with urban figures even higher—up to 91.2 mpg in some trims—thanks to its self-charging hybrid system that reduces engine workload and emissions. Real-world user reports and tests tend to show slightly lower but still very good fuel economy, typically averaging between 50 and 60 mpg depending on driving style and conditions.

    Fuel Efficiency Experience
    The hybrid system shines in stop-start city traffic where electric power assists the petrol engine, boosting fuel savings.

    On longer, faster journeys, the fuel economy tends to drop closer to that of a conventional 1.5-litre petrol engine, around 35-40 mpg in some user reports, but still respectable for its class.

    Overall, it’s considered one of the most economical superminis available, helping keep running costs low.

    Common Issues and Maintenance Tips
    The 2015 Yaris Hybrid benefits from Toyota’s strong reliability record, with few widespread mechanical issues reported.

    Routine hybrid system maintenance is minimal, but it’s important to keep the battery and cooling system in good condition.

    Regular servicing of the petrol engine, brakes (which use regenerative braking), and hybrid battery health checks are recommended.

    Some owners note that hybrid components like the battery can degrade over many years, so checking battery condition is wise if buying used.

    The CVT gearbox is generally reliable but should be serviced as per Toyota’s schedule to avoid issues.
