Looks like it does not look like, but Honda Fit and Toyota Yaris are very similar. They use the 1.5 engine, exchange CVT, have set for the comfort of occupants and "surf" in the wave of good image of its manufacturers to the public.
If they are similar, what is the best option for the consumer? G1 compared the top versions of both models. In the case of Honda, it is EXL while Toyota is in the configuration XLS . They were chosen because they are closest to Fit and Yaris.
Costs: Item for the Yaris
Despite so many similarities, considering the price of purchase, the value of insurance, revisions and equipment, he enters the two models.
Honda charges $ 83,300 for the Fit EXL, while the Yaris XLS sells for $ 81,990, a difference of $ 1,310, enough to cover Toyota's first three revisions.
Incidentally, the Yaris also takes a long time to get to the Toyota Yaris – aftermarket advantage. In the first five reviews of the dealer network, the owner of the Yaris will have to pay R $ 2,347. The owner of Fit must prepare his pocket to spend 45% more, with the $ 3,401 requested by Honda for services.
In order to protect the property and to take out insurance, a technical link. According to the Minute Insurance survey, Toyota's average profile policy is R $ 2,428, compared to R $ 2,573 for Honda.
In the end (literally), the difference in numbers still weighs favorably on the balance with Toyota, with a difference of nearly R $ 2,300, which we must not neglect.

Equipment: Once Again, Give Yaris
Normally, the burden of being cheaper is to have less equipment. This is not the case in this comparison. The Yaris is considerably more complete than the Fit.
In their most expensive versions, both models are equipped with digital air conditioning, cruise control, leather seats, a multimedia center, traction controls and stability and air bags (curtains and curtains), mandatory for law.
The Yaris offers an even longer list: Driver's knee airbag, light and rain sensors, anti-glare rear view mirror, sunroof, dashboard with configurable and integrated color computer. , and access and departure by ch bird in person
A flaw is the multimedia center that does not support Android Auto and Apple CarPlay – made recurrent in Toyota models.
In exclusivity, Fit only has lighthouses fully LED, Android Auto connections and Apple CarPlay in the multimedia center and the steering wheel with depth adjustment – the Yaris only has a height adjustment. The Honda even brings room to drive the engine by button, but in the location there is a plastic cover, as shown in the picture above.
With the additional items, the price difference between the two competitors seems even more obvious. In addition to offering more, Yaris costs less.
Performance: The Yaris Increases Its Advantage
The engine of both is of the same displacement, 1.5. The Fit has slightly more power and torque, 116 horsepower and 15.3 kgfm compared to 110 hp and 14.9 kgfm, respectively.
However, the perception is that the Yaris is more agile than Fit. Although the CVT is far from exciting, the Toyota transmission balances the comfort / performance ratio better than the Honda.

The adjustment always leaves a bad impression by increasing the speed of the engine too much, without producing more vigorous responses.
According to the Inmetro measurements, the Yaris is even more economical in almost all scenarios:
Fuel consumption
| in km / l | TOYOTA YARIS | ] HONDA FIT |
| Urban (ethanol / essence) | 8,8 / 12,6 | 8,3 / 12,3 |
| Highway 19659044] 9.9 / 14.1 |
Versatility: an unbeatable fit

In this issue, Fit takes the best with ease. His body, which mixes hatch and van elements, is virtually unbeatable.
And it seems that the Honda is 5 centimeters shorter than the Yaris and 2 centimeters shorter in the wheelbase. The compensation comes with a nearly flat central tunnel, which makes the life of the fifth occupant much more comfortable.
Another advantage of the Fit is to be 6 cm higher and to have a smaller size, a larger glazed area, which reinforces the feeling amplitude of the cabin.
And that's not all: the Honda has a big advantage in the trunk. They are 363 liters, against 310 liters of Yaris.

If this size is not enough, Fit always has the practical system of rearranging the seats. It is possible to bounce the backs and increase the trunk, forming a flat compartment of 1,045 liters.
It is also possible to raise the rear seats, thus creating a considerable space for carrying larger objects, such as a small tree. Finally, the Fit still offers a longer life, including a cup holder in front of the vent.
Neither one nor the other stands out in this respect. Both abuse hard plastic and call for a conservative look in the cabin.
Although the Yaris is a much newer model, the interior recalls that of a car a few years ago by the layout of the elements on the dashboard. The only stylistic audacity appears in the air grilles with silver frames.
The Fit cabin has a more appealing layout, with raised air vents and touch control air conditioning, but the dashboard is reminiscent of a popular car for its simplicity.
The good shape can be more versatile and better accommodate people and their luggage. But the Yaris is better in all other respects.
Toyota was right to position its hatch at a lower level than Honda, while offering a much higher level of equipment, consistent with the price range (although the Yaris has undergone some adjustments these last months) . Meanwhile, Fit, which starts from R $ 83,000, leaves out the essentials of this category.
In this comparison, although none of them gets behind the wheel, the Yaris still works better and "drinks" less.
This reflects the sales of both. Between launch in July and December 2018, the Yaris shipped approximately 18,500 units, representing a monthly average of 3,061 vehicles. Fit, which has recorded regular sales all year, has sold 27,359 copies, an average monthly of 2,279 vehicles.
