Toyota Yaris Vs Maruti Ciaz- Exterior Comparison
The Yaris resembles quite a lot of its elder sibling, the Corolla when seen from the front fascia. It comes with elongated and sleek headlamps which wrap around the fenders neatly. Furthermore, the large grille and the simple yet elegant fog-lamp housing provide this sedan with a mature stance. The side profile of the Toyota Yaris is quite simple. it comes with two creases which add a bit of a character to the otherwise clean features. it comes with 15-inch rims, even on the top spec versions. We believe, that 16-inch ones would have looked just a tad bit better. Furthermore, the rear end gets elongated headlamps which are slightly angular at the edges. Overall, we would say that the Yaris’s design is inclined towards a premium layout and will appeal to a more mature buyer.
