Talking about its competition, Toyota Yaris competes with the 2020 Honda City, which is yet to be launched; Hyundai Verna, Maruti Ciaz, Volkswagen Vento and Skoda Rapid. The competition of the family sedan segment has increased as we have Rapid Rider in the lower price bracket and Verna DCT and City i-VTEC for the premium range. Toyota Yaris may struggle to get sales owing to the increase in the current price of all the variants.
