Figures from Toyota Indus (Yaris) and the PakWheels City specification page.
- Entry level: The Yaris 1.3 is stronger than the City 1.2 on paper, with about 10 hp and 13 Nm more. That helps on the climbs around Quetta and on the Kolpur and Lak Pass stretches.
- Top trims: The City 1.5 Aspire is the more powerful car, with 118 hp against the Yaris 1.5's roughly 106 hp.
- Manual option: Only the Yaris still offers a manual gearbox in this list, which many buyers prefer for cost and simple repairs.
Features and safety
Toyota Yaris
- Vehicle stability control and hill-start assist are listed on the Yaris spec sheet.
- Driver and passenger airbags.
- The 1.5 Ativ X adds push start, smart key, a 6.8-inch touchscreen, rear camera and auto AC.
- The 1.3 variants have a simpler audio unit with Bluetooth and USB.
Honda City
- ABS with EBD across the range.
- The Aspire trims add a 9-inch touchscreen, push start, climate control and cruise control.
- LED daytime running lights on all trims; fog lamps on Aspire.
- PakWheels' City page states the car does not have stability control. Airbag details on that page are inconsistent, so check the exact airbag count with your Honda dealer.
If safety aids matter most to you, the Yaris has the edge on paper because of its stability control.
