About SAR 36,000 buys a 2022 Toyota Yaris. A 2024 and a 2023 both average SAR 46,000, and a 2019 SAR 32,000 — past five years old, condition decides everything. Asking prices across our Kingdom listings run from SAR 10,600 for a car from the turn of the decade up to SAR 57,500 for a current-year one.
CarSwitch has inspected more than 850 Yaris in Saudi Arabia, and only 11% show a mechanical fault in the engine, gearbox, suspension or steering, against the 15% we would expect for small sedans of the same age and mileage in the Kingdom, and 4% an electrical fault against the 7% we would expect for the same class. Bodywork is the segment's story rather than this car's — 61% carry evidence of previous panel work against the 44% we would expect for cars of that age, and the Hyundai Accent sits at 64%. Judge the quality of the repair rather than the fact of it.
The Toyota Corolla costs similar money for a bigger car and holds about 64%, so buy it if you find the right example. The Accent gives more equipment; the Yaris gives cheaper running costs and the faster sale.
2021 to 2023 is the sweet spot. The sedan was renewed at the start of this decade with a better cabin and more standard safety kit, and those cars are now cheap enough to make the older ones hard to justify.
About 63% of its value after five years, against roughly 56% for sedans of similar age and mileage. The Nissan Sunny is better still at about 68%, but the Yaris is the easier car to sell.
