The yaris cross is brilliant, if you drive town and country, you could like me achieve 64 mpg. It does not rev with the CvT like the old yaris model, and only sounds noisy because of the difference between electric power and petrol engine ,which is not very noticeable anyway, I bought mine new this year, and CANNOT fault it. If you want more room then go for the Rav 4 or the Corolla Cross model.
We got our in April this year. It suits our needs and we love it especially the fuel economy! Most of all it’s a Toyota, which we have reverted back to which are far better vehicles than the last two Vauxhall’s we previously owned! We are never buying anything but Japanese vehicles
Actually visited a Toyota garage today and compared the standard Yaris and Corolla with the Yaris Cross. The Yaris Cross offers about the same rear space as the Corolla, but far better visibility for rear passengers. It's actually very good in the back, and does offer the extra room you'd wish for over the standard Yaris. It's just a pity those rear doors not opening wide enough, have created such a poor initial impression, reinforced by the penny-pinching approach - no proper rear armrest, no rear air vents, no charging points, and no rear seat pockets. Just seats, in fact.
I've had a Yaris Cross for 8 months, and never really noticed the rear door opening distance. Re, the issues you mention about missing features in the rear, it's pretty much a car for two people so no biggie there either. What is huge in the car is all the technology, customisable adaptive cruise control, steering assist, it reads road signs, and has a host of accident avoidance tech as well.
If you drive it a certain way it gets way above those mpg figures i get 70 plus mpg on the motorway and 80 to 90 mpg around town and that’s in a 2020 CHR
Nice review. I recently had the Yaris Cross to test also, I found the same in the back and was a struggle with the rubber protective backing on the seats to put the seats back up, something as simple as just a cut out where the latch was would make it so much easier. I found it a pleasure to drive though and as always Toyota's hybrid system is great.
Yaris cross is the best in class by far. Don’t even think to mention any pure garbage cars like Ford puma or juke (joke) you know why, because of the best drive train that Toyota offers. All little niggles put aside no one offers better cars with ice than Toyota currently.
It's sooo annoying every single review with this baby seat issue. You installed that with absolutely no problem. Quite easy actually. Is it a downside for 6footers? I do not believe very large individuals would be buying this car to begin with.
I thought the focus on fitting the child seat was a bit harsh to start - but, I guess, quite a few families will view the regular Yaris as too small, and ‘look up’ to this cross version for that extra space. I do wonder if anyone senior at Toyota has tried to sit in the back of this car?
A great review Rebecca some interesting food for thought. Performance for me might be an issue though with my 30 mile commute to work involving motorways, country roads and city traffic. If they had a more cooking version, say instead of the Yaris Cross to a Yaris Angry or Yaris Livid it might just be worth considering. In this form the Yaris Cross seems more like a Yaris Upset. Styling looks great and as space should be fine for my use though so I might take a test drive anyway when it cones to change.
I test drove a puma and thought it was rubbish, too claustrophobic and incredibly overrated tbh. rear space is bad as well, just feels too cramped. The drive is good as with all fords but as i said earlier. overrated.
I've jus traded in my Arona, hated it by the end. Leaks in the rain from somewhere so I steam up all the time, and has little bits missing such as above door handles or hangars for suit jackets. The quoted mpg for the Arona was only ever a pipedream, with a quoted max of 53 mpg they must have got their figures the wrong way around as I have hardly had above 35! Seriously let down by a daft satnav system and steering wheel controls that protrude so much you continually knock them as you turn the steering wheel, so either the satnav changes, the radio does, the screen display changes or you just deafen yourself as you crank up the volume. After 9 months I'd had enough of the Arona and got this Yaris Cross. It's quirky but far, far better than the nonsense that Seat push out.
Any particular reason why you make a video about a car and then don't show it at least once from the side profile ? That's actually the only angle where you can tell how the car looks like, which I still don't do after watching this clip ...
i test drove it and decided not to get it at all. it is noisy inside and engine makes loud weird sound as you mentioned in video. but i can't have it for a £30000 car.
I have Toyota Yaris Cross which won’t start because of the auxiliary battery issues. There is clearly a design fault, and now I learn that the only way round this is to drive for 1 hour a week to nowhere. I wasn’t told this when I purchased the car nor is there anything in the manual about the auxiliary battery issue. Don’t Buy!
Its a great car just needs more leg room by 4 inches and 4 inches of width at the back and atleast some air vents It would have been agreat car I feel all Toyota's are too narrow
You missed the elephant in the room_ The ten year yes I said ten year warranty if you get it serviced with a toyota dealer, How does that compare with a Ford Puma with I believe a wet belt to the oil pump?
Hard to fall in love with this car considering its competition. I'd take the Puma in a heartbeat. More driver engagement, better looks and more than enough practicality for any small family. The Toyota only beats it by likely being more reliable and affordable to maintain. Great review all the same. A 'must-watch' for anyone looking into this car.
Nissan Juke left South Africa now Nissan Terra limited if all new Nissan Navara come than Terra should come in unlimited numbers the X-Terra Renault Arkana Lexus GX & LBX Toyota Yaris Cross these models should come to South Africa .
Interestingly, Toyota had Yaris nameplate in India as well but it was a completely different car from the Yaris sold in UK. The Yaris sold in India was a premium C-segment sedan while the Yaris in UK is a premium hatchback - not even the hatchback version of Yaris sedan. I don’t get why Toyota chose to keep the same nameplate for a completely different car? Did they fall short of names?
It's the same as suzuki swift and swift dzire.Same car with different sizes.Length of premium hatchback yaris is more than 4 metres so not feasible for Indian market.
@@akhiln997 : It makes sense about Suzuki Swift and Swift Dezire. But here, I’m talking about Yaris sedan sold in India and Yaris hatchback sold in UK. And no, Yaris hatchback and Yaris Sedan is not same as Swift and Swift Desire. Also, I’m speaking about the nameplate not whether it’s going to be launched in India.
@Lüvv Sürya Yes, technically, they share similar platform and internals.But Indian version was a stripped-down product to cut cost .So, they will be some visual differences. You can compare yaris sedan of India to one launched in UAE or other countries where it was available.Companies do share the same nameplate for different versions like sedan or hatchback
@@akhiln997 : All that I can figure out that Yaris hatchback shown here is a complete different car from Yaris sedan that was on sale in India. It doesn’t look like the hatchback version of Yaris sedan as it is with Swift Dezire that actually is a sedan version of Swift and hence the same nameplate. That’s why for me, it doesn’t make any sense why Toyota kept the same nameplate for a completely different car.
@Lüvv Sürya keeping the same nameplate help them show higher sales of yaris.instead of two small sales from two individual nameplates.This is a third model of yaris in crossover shape what the reviewer is reviewing ,hatchback model is different
Always like to see and hear your reviews, even if they aren't sold here, across the pond. i still don't understand how Prince Harry passed over you to end up with her.🙄..You would expect a royal to have much more sophisticated taste...🤔
Sorry Rebeka but that was the worst review of that car ever made from uk, seriously you should step up and learn about Toyota cars before you are spreading so much non sense, instead of opening the eyes of the dumbest new car buyers that continue to buy garbage cars that spend more time in the garage for repair than on the road you are pushing them to pick the worst new cars
Not saying you’re wrong, but since you don’t mention anything specifically you take issue with, as feedback your comment is pretty crap. Learn about Toyota cars. Why? Prospective buyers won’t. What does she need to learn? You don’t say…
@@stephenwakeman3074 well it seems you are exactly from that category of people who has no clue about cars and trust blindly on auto journalists who are actually clowns 🤡 who can entertain but not educate the masses. I strongly suggest you to watch few videos about Toyota hybrids and how they work. These are the best cars even better than full Evs. They are nice to drive, super efficient and ultra reliable. There is nothing more to say. Good luck 👍
Far too small.. lots of hard plastic and lack of equipment for the price... Cramped, basic rear seating is a disappointing.. Main issue is it is not built in Japan and this quality of construction and reliability is potentially an issue.. Summary - trendy, tiny car for a young city based couple.. Single males and families look elsewhere....
"Main issue is it not built in Japan"? What total claptrap is that? It is a Toyota. Famous, and envied, for all their vehicles' longevity. Japanese designers create the product, it is assembled elsewhere, a bit like Lego. ALL manufacturers do it. Get a grip.
Installs baby seat in with no issues - “That was a bit of a faff”
Totally, looks like the reviewer biased towards ford to turn down Yaris cross for some reasons

Pretty good review. You don't really cover the way the ev and petrol engine work around town however. It's possible to achieve over 100mpg.

I would choose toyota everyday over shit Ford
Toyota cars are very reliable.
Definately !
I agree 100% with you
I watched your CHR review on the updated model you sounded like you preferred that car to the Yaris Cross
If you drive it a certain way it gets way above those mpg figures i get 70 plus mpg on the motorway and 80 to 90 mpg around town and that’s in a 2020 CHR
Which certain way do you mean? can you please elaborate?
This car or a puma auto st ?
This segment of cars are great hybrid cross over. What more do you want.
Beautiful and very usefull 😃👍
AWD is the most useful and versatile.
...but it needs "mo powa!"
+30% HP 🐴💪

The dashboard is pretty much the same as the Yaris 2021.
Car plates being reviewed on separate channels these days, eh?
It's Toyota so I know it's good. I want with the juke because Toyota is above my pay grade.

Mate, it works with child seat, have seen people easily using though, review seems a bit biased towards puma.
She fitted the child seat with zero issues, but she still insisted it was "a bit of a faff". Strange

This literally made me belly laugh! 🤣😂🤣
You sir made me Yaris Laugh!
If that was a faff id love to see it easy
Agree with your summing up, was a tough call but, in the end I plonked for the Ford Puma purely for a more enjoyable drive.….great review 👍
Oh bro return it asap
Fords are crap

Where's that furry hood body warmer from that Rebecca has on in the thumbnail from ? Like the brand
Looks better than it drives ? Too many negatives from Rebecca to stir my interest and the rear accessibility/space issues are a serious downer.
Honda jazz,take a look.

That's actually the only angle where you can tell how the car looks like, which I still don't do after watching this clip ...

Just got to factor in around £100 more for a Toyota dealer service then an independent for that "Free" 10 year warranty with each service!

The PUMA is only a MILD hybrid. The Yaris Cross is a proper hybrid.
And the ford small engine is a pile of shite
