Both the City and Yaris sedan offer a spacious cabin with ample legroom, headroom, and shoulder room. However, the cockpit in the Honda City is well-designed and may feel like that of a full-size sedan. Hard plastic materials are used in the cabin of both the vehicles, which is a downside given the price point. The cabin in Honda City is comparatively quieter than the Toyota Yaris. Honda City has some edge over Yaris in terms of interiors.
