Citroen C3 2016 vs Toyota Yaris 2017
| Gearbox: | Manual | Manual | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 1.6 Diesel | 1.5 Petrol | |
| Diesel (Citroen C3) engines typically outperform gasoline engines in terms of fuel efficiency and low-end torque. This makes them more economical and better suited for towing or long-distance travel. However, gasoline (Toyota Yaris) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles. For more information, see the article "Diesel or Petrol: Fuel Economy and Key Differences." | |||
| Camshaft drive: | Timing belt | Timing chain | |
| Timing belt usually needs to be replaced more often than the chain, but it is usually significantly cheaper. Timing belt motors are generally quieter and less vibrating than chain motors. | |||
Performance | |||
| Power: | 75 HP | 111 HP | |
| Torque: | 233 NM | 136 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 15.1 seconds | 11 seconds | |
|
Toyota Yaris is a more dynamic driving. Citroen C3 engine produces 36 HP less power than Toyota Yaris, but torque is 97 NM more than Toyota Yaris. Due to the lower power, Citroen C3 reaches 100 km/h speed 4.1 seconds later. | |||
Fuel consumption | |||
| Fuel consumption (l/100km): | 3.2 | 5.0 | |
| Real fuel consumption: | 4.2 l/100km | 5.9 l/100km | |
|

Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 350'000 km | 280'000 km | |
| Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used, but under equal conditions the average life of a Citroen C3 engine could be longer. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 10 years | 15 years | |
| Engine spread: | Installed on at least 3 other car models, including Peugeot 2008, Citroen Berlingo, Peugeot 208 | Used only for this car | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. | |||
| Hydraulic tappets: | yes | no | |
| The Citroen C3 engine has hydraulic tappets (lifters), providing quieter operation and no need for periodic adjustment, but they are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in case of failure. | |||
Dimensions | |||
| Length: | 4.00 m | 3.95 m | |
| Width: | 1.75 m | 1.70 m | |
| Height: | 1.47 m | 1.51 m | |
|
Citroen C3 is larger, but slightly lower. Citroen C3 is 5 cm longer than the Toyota Yaris, 5 cm wider, while the height of Citroen C3 is 4 cm lower. | |||
| Trunk capacity: | 300 litres | 347 litres | |
| Trunk max capacity: with rear seats folded down |
922 litres | no data | |
|
Toyota Yaris has more luggage space. Despite its longer length, Citroen C3 has 47 litres less trunk space than the Toyota Yaris. This could mean that the Citroen C3 uses more space in the cabin, so the driver and passengers could be more spacious and comfortable. | |||
| Turning diameter: | 10.8 meters | 9.6 meters | |
| The turning circle of the Citroen C3 is 1.2 metres more than that of the Toyota Yaris, which means Citroen C3 can be harder to manoeuvre in tight streets and parking spaces. | |||
| Gross weight (kg): | 1`620 | 1`490 | |
| Safety: | |||
| Toyota Yaris scores higher in safety tests. The Toyota Yaris scores significantly higher in active safety technologies (stability control, lane assist, automatic braking, etc.) tests. | |||
| Quality: | average | above average | |
| Toyota Yaris has fewer problems. According to annual technical inspection data Citroen C3 has serious deffects in 45 percent more cases than Toyota Yaris, so Toyota Yaris quality is probably significantly better | |||
