Verdict
The Toyota Yaris 1.5 E is the rational call. Its RM88,000 price is RM3,600 below the RM91,600 G, yet both use the same 105 hp and 150 Nm 1.5-litre petrol engine with a CVT. Seven airbags and pre-collision braking are fitted to both. So are the Blind Spot Info System and a 360-degree camera. There is no listed equipment, safety or mechanical gain for the G, so that RM3,600 is better kept for insurance, fuel and servicing unless a dealer can identify extra trim content.
Pick the Toyota Yaris 1.5 E if you want every listed mechanical, safety and infotainment item for RM3,600 less.
Pick the Toyota Yaris 1.5 G if you specifically prefer its trim designation and can confirm dealer-supplied extras beyond the listed specification.
