Compare the Renault 5 E-Tech vs Toyota Yaris
AI generated from our expert reviews
Both the Renault 5 E-Tech and the Toyota Yaris are fun on twisty roads. The Renault has quick steering, feels eager to turn into corners and shows no body roll, while the Yaris feels nimble and grips well for a good level of driver enjoyment. Up front, both cars keep their climate controls separate from the touchscreen. Neither car offers much comfort in the back, where adults will find cramped seating and tight legroom. When loading luggage, putting heavy suitcases into the Renault 5 could be a bit tricky over quite a chunky lip, whereas the Yaris has a height-adjustable boot floor with no load lip to speak of. If you need to pull a trailer, the Renault 5 E-Tech can tow more than the Toyota Yaris.
