AI generated from our expert reviews

Up front, both cars give you plenty of adjustment to get comfortable, but taller passengers will struggle for knee and headroom in the back of either hatchback. The Renault Clio looks and feels impressively posh inside, whereas the Toyota Yaris has a cabin rather full of dark, dull plastic. When loading luggage, the Clio has a high boot lip that makes heavy items tricky to lift in, while the Yaris has no load lip to speak of. When you need extra versatility, the Clio can tow more and provides more room with the back seats folded.
