Yaris: How Many RPMs @ 70mph? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Yaris Revenge · 04-30-2007, 11:33 AM

Just curious... test drove a Hyundai Accent, and I was wondering how it compared to the Yaris in gear ratios.

Thanks,

~YR

Yep,3000rpm,scangauge says 2985-3012.

Yaris Revenge · 04-30-2007, 02:19 PM

Huh. The Accent turns 3600 @ 70mph! It may be 5th gear, but I really wonder if it's an overdrive gear or not?

Theres no way its in 5th at 70mph and 3600rpm,that sounds like 3rd.

GuySmily · 04-30-2007, 09:03 PM

That's right about where my mr2 sits in 5th gear @ 70mph...

eco · 04-30-2007, 10:04 PM

Ya,but that has like a 8500 rpm rev limit,right?The accent is 7000 I beleive

I rented a Hyundai Elantra while on business a few weeks back.

It was an automatic (rental) and I am pretty sure it was under 3K at 70mph. Probably more like 2800 or so.

It sure was fun to drive, albeit an auto. I really like the looks of the Yaris HB though.

Looks to be about 3100-3200 depending going up/down hills

Nope, it was indeed 5th gear. Had I gone from 4th into 3rd at that kind of speed, there would have been the obvious lurch and noise associated with decel. If you check around any buyer reviews for the Accent, it's a common complaint that 5th gear is too low. For the life of me I can't think of a reason it would be set up like that. From what I've read, dealers are getting hammered with complaints about it and the resulting poor fuel economy.

what about 80 - 85?

That's how fast I'll be going for about 600 miles out of state.

spkrman · 05-02-2007, 12:06 AM

80-85 i'm just creakin past 3000 RPM, thanks to the dubzzz :)

eco · 05-02-2007, 07:27 PM

I bet your rpm is alot higher then its supposed to be,in 1st 2nd and 3rd,untill you get up to speed,this is where the weight of the rim bennifits your car,more rotating mass thats already spinning,this gives the car a high forward momentum,which helps ease engine load,the faster your going the better(for this effect,be safe ofcourse).But check your rpm going uphill

THanks dude

churp · 05-02-2007, 10:34 PM

I agree with the 3600 at 70 in the MR2.....but with the dubzzz on the Yaris did you recalibrate your speedometer to account for the larger diameter tires, calculate from the ratio of the diameter difference, or just guessing about your speed?
