3.7 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers, outgoing 1.0L engine used almost 25% more fuel having to spin at higher speeds to make less power, so Toyota Pivoted design to leverage 1NZ block of Yaris using 1NZ-FXE design of 04-09 Prius, with a newer lighter Li-ion battery instead of NiMH, for EURO 6 markets, a rare treat.
Most automakers are moving to battery electric vehicles, many larger heavier SUV of 2500-3000kg that slay tires with too much instant torque & very heavy vehicle mass, which wrecks passenger compact city car tires really quickly.
Many Tesla Model 3 eat a set of 4 tires in 10000km, nearly 10X faster than a Typical ICE car of the same size, weight and capacity, then replacing Model 3 tires can cost thousands of dollars because of the wheel size and low aspect ratio of the high-performance tires.
How many grams per mile of CO2 emissions, what about NOX
How long does the aluminum oxide honeycomb core of the catalytic converter in the exhaust last, and does it leak palladium, platinum, rhodium or other heavy metals into the red hot exhaust gas right of the engine header? Why do they wear out over time and what does it cost to replace a stollen catalytic converter? So called emissions controlled vehicles, the technology to clean up the exhaust of NOX and CO & other pollutants adds thousands of dollars to each vehicle.
In India my 2020 Yamaha MT03 with the same 321cc engine available carburetor fueling for under $2000, while same model in the USA was $4599.99 or about $6000 out the door, as fuel injection, 3D ECU mapping variable control, O2 sensor & catalytic converter, stainless steel exhaust header, & PAIR injection system add almost $1800 to the manufacturing cost of models sold in Europe and America that have to comply with emissions regulations.
GR Corolla & GR Yaris, see Gazoo Racing division of Toyota the Japanese made industrial exporting automaker that sells cars in nearly every country on Earth, a juggernaut of Hybrid Synergy Drive PSD system development mixing an electric high torque traction motor with energy optimize generator motor to a fuel efficient Atkinson cycle gasoline fuel injected liquid cooled emission controlled engine through a robust orbital gearing variable drive control system that eliminates need for a conventional automatic transmission, while also enabling variable speeds & any of many ratios of battery electric mode, boost assist, energy recovery, brake regen, full power, partial power, hill climb, decent control, the PRIUS & other Toyota Hybrids have many automatic modes the computer chooses to minimize fuel use and lower emissions, systems which are so well made they have unmatched reliability.
