The Alpine A290 is more powerful than the Toyota Yaris. Inside, both cars give you separate controls for your climate settings rather than running them purely through the touchscreen. Both cars also suffer from limited space in the back, where you will find that rear passengers are cramped. Everyday cabin storage brings a clear contrast, as the Yaris provides cupholders, while the A290 has no cup holders anywhere in the car.
