How come there are still so many reviewers who think that the B-mode is for regenerative braking? It is meant for descending steep hills using engine braking. In normal driving it actually increases consumption. And that digital dash is not the 12-inch model, it is the standard 7-inch version.
Have a shot every time a clueless presenter drives on b mode, toyota/lexus should create a pop up message with instructions for the use of drive modes. B uses the engine and transmission to slow down the car when on steep downhill it does not regenerate more energy, on the contrary it consumes all it can.
@@bonganidodana1083... It's 1500cc. I've done 500 miles in mine so far and I've got an amazing 78mpg average doing about 45 miles each day. Averaging 50% on electric. I didn't expect to get fuel economy this good.
Optimal size for Europe; have a Yaris Cross Premier right now. We really do need to see what is coming for 2025 before ordering anything from the old 2024 templates. Why risk that? Also, Lexus must drop the scandalous prices for its tech option packs in Europe....at current levels they undermine the value of the automobile and cheaper brands offer many of these options as standard.
Up to 50% in city on EV? Lie :) It's up to 80%. 50% I have as an average from 3K miles and I drive 60/40 city/motorway. Turning off speed limit alert is 2 clicks as it shows up in special menu (fast access menu).
It's nothing like a Yaris Cross .... it's streets ahead in quality, comfort, design and fuel economy. The true question should be .... why pay a few thousand less for a Yaris Cross that's doesn't even come close?

I got mine two weeks ago and so far I am loving it.
B mode on the transmission is for steep descents only, it doesn't switch on regenerative braking....that is on all the time regardless.

I had a test drive on the Yaris Cross then on the LBX. The Lexus is a bit more pricey but it won me over hands-down.
The warranty was the key selling point for me
Always great to have peace of mind!
Bloody loved it 😍😍
I don't think this is the 12" cockpit display (included in the executive pack) ?
Warranty is market leading, should help retain value
And fantastic for peace of mind

What do you mean when you say 2025 and 2024 templates? Are you perhaps referring to any announcements regarding a LBX facelift?
@@Capy-K I know nothing. They reveal nothing except that a non-hybrid sport model is coming in Japan
Music is sooo loud 😔

£5-10k overpriced, IMHO.
Overpriced Yaris Cross
