The turning circle compared to other Toyota models
Within the Toyota orchestra, the Yaris does more than hold a note – it practically sings when it comes to navigating tight spots. Whereas the bulkier Toyota Land Cruiser and the RAV4 Plug-In Hybrid lug around with a turning radius of a cumbersome 10.40m and 11.80m, respectively, the Yaris flits around with greater ease. And don't get us started on the Toyota Proace Van with a whopping 12.40m circle, making the Yaris look like Nureyev on wheels. On the nimbler side of the family, the Aygo X is one of the few models to upstage the Yaris with a marginally better 9.40m turning circle, tying with Toyota Aygo X, the epitome of city-friendly maneuverability.

How does the turning circle of the Toyota Yaris compare to it's nearest competitors?
Twirling away from family, how does the Yaris fare against the cars outside its lineage? With the lights dimmed and the music set, the Yaris enters the dancefloor with its 9.80m turning circle. Now, should the Ford Ka+ try to join with its 10.10m, the Yaris can twist away slightly more deftly. The SEAT Leon, with a relatively oceanic radius of 10.90m – well, that's a tango the Yaris wins hands down. Then there's the cheeky Suzuki Alto at 9.20m – smaller and lighter, it pirouettes tighter, surely enough to cause a pang of jealousy in the Yaris dancer's heart. And let's not leave out the dashing Fiat Ritmo with a sprinkling of Italian flair, yet it sprawls out to 10.30m, ceding the spotlight to the Toyota prodigy. The peacocking Renault R19, twirling at 11.00m, would have to bow out gracefully. In this automotive ballet, the Toyota Yaris often performs an impressive pas de deux with the competition, occasionally bested by a few but still, more often than not, seemingly more fleet of foot.
