Daihatsu YRV Hatchback (2001-2004) running costs and reliability
Miles per pound (mpp)
Fuel economy
Expect to get around 45 mpg from the standard model and 40mpg from the 130. Insurance and servicing costs are reasonable (except the 130).
YRV is an environmentally friendly model. With an average of 150 g/km CO2 across the model line-up, its emissions are relatively low for a super mini hatchback. It’s worth noting that the line-up does not feature any diesel models, which typically produce less carbon dioxide than petrol engines with similar power outputs. Eco-conscious buyers should consider the 1.3-litre petrol, which is one of the greenest models in the range.
The range is impressively frugal, averaging 45 mpg.
Problems from the Toyota-sourced engine should be few and far between, although that’s no excuse for sloppy maintenance. Some interior trim panels are flimsy and may need replacing as the car gets older.
