Yaris Hybrid 2012 vs 2014+ gen

[exim]

So I'm after a used car (I wish my budget could stretch to new, but it can't). I know it has to be the Yaris Hybrid - so many plus points.

I'm sure some of you guys have experience with both Yaris hybrid generations. Apart from some cosmetic improvements and slight c02 reduction is there actually any difference?
I'm looking at the T4 in particular at the moment. The newer generation equivalent would be the Icon?
Smoothness? noise? feel etc? Is the 'difference' negligible? would it be worth shelling out extra?

I'd like to hear your experiences.

There has been only one generation of the Yaris Hybrid.

The current Yaris (2011 to date) had the hybrid version introduced in May 2012.

The range was facelifted in April 2014 - changes were made to the interior, suspension, noise levels and trim levels. The hybrid system also saw adjustments which reduced the emissions from 79g/km to 75.

The next generation Yaris is supposedly due to be launched later in 2017.

Hi,

We have a 2013 Yaris hybrid, also a 2010 Auris hybrid and while my Auris was in for a recall, I had a 2016 Yaris hybrid for a curtesy car.

I didn't check on the specifications, but the drive and car isn't any different. Just upgraded Toyota touch system.

So I wouldn't worry about missing out on anything by going for the older car.
