What is the difference between the Yaris L and the Yaris L X?
2 Answers
The difference between the Yaris L and the Yaris L X lies in their body dimensions: the Yaris L measures 4160mm in length, 1700mm in width, and 1485mm in height; the Yaris L X measures 4440mm in length, 1700mm in width, and 1490mm in height. In terms of suspension, the Yaris L features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. The Yaris L is a compact car launched by GAC Toyota. Under the hood, it is powered by a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 112 PS, a maximum power of 82 kW, and a maximum torque of 139 Nm, paired with an 8-speed continuously variable transmission.
When I last changed cars, I specifically compared these two models. The Yaris is a hatchback version, about 4.1 meters long, with a trunk of approximately 320 liters, which is very convenient for grocery shopping. The rear seats can be folded down to fit a stroller. The Yaris L sedan version is 4.4 meters long with a 476-liter trunk, noticeably more spacious, making it especially suitable for carrying New Year goods when returning to the hometown during the holidays. Although both come with a 1.5L engine paired with a CVT transmission, the sedan is more stable on the highway. In terms of appearance, the Yaris has a stronger sporty feel, while the Yaris L looks more family-oriented. In my opinion, the Yaris is sufficient for singles or young couples, while the Yaris L is more recommended for families with kids—spending a bit more for the extra space is definitely much more practical.
