Introducing the all-new Toyota Yaris Cross!
It’s a small SUV version of the regular Toyota Yaris, and Mat’s on hand to find out if this crossover has what it takes to stand out from the crowd against competitors like the Peugeot 2008 and Volkswagen T-Cross!
In terms of the design, it’s no surprise that it looks a whole lot similar to the regular Yaris. Sure it’s jacked up and comes equipped with bigger body panels, but the overall look shares a whole load of similarities with the regular small car. It’s the same story on the inside, too, with the same infotainment system and digital dials display as you’d find in the normal Yaris.
When it comes to performance, there’s only one engine to choose from - a 1.5-litre 3 cylinder engine that’s also equipped with a self-charging hybrid system that can deliver 114hp & 120Nm of torque.
It starts from £22,500, but should you really consider the Yaris Cross over its key rivals? You’ll have to stick with Mat to find out!

The yaris
I have had one of these for 8 months. It’s a great 2 people car. I never drive in B mode as per the owner’s manual.
Just did a 2200 km road trip in Australia including 500kms on the first day and 750 kms on the last day. Quite comfortable and good on dirt roads.
Fuel economy around 4.9 l/100kms highway. Back in town it can easily give you 3.6 l/100kms.
There’s a lot of tech in this car.
@@axel.lessio not sure how old your kids are… Suggest you all pile into one and see how it feels. Then consider how much luggage space you need. Rear legroom is a bit tight for adults with driver’s seat back. I’m 187cms.
My feeling is, with 3 kids, might be slightly too squeezy.
When we went to Esperance, we took the false floor out of the boot ( luggage compartment) to fit our stuff in and had some bags on the back seat as well. I’m not sure 3 extra people and their luggage would have been possible. Unless you get one of those capsules people put on the roof.
@@zwieseler, thanks so much for the info! We’ll definitely take a look at both options then. The RAV4 might also be a bit too big for the tiny mountain roads of northern Spain, that’ll be another factor to weigh in 😅
@@axel.lessio you’re welcome. I just had another look at this video and another issue, I think, is that the centre of the rear seat would not be very comfortable for a longer trip. We previously had a Renault Captur which was slightly roomier than the Yaris.
Alternatively, if you have Kia in Spain, the Kia Sportage might be a good fit as it’s bigger than Yaris, smaller than RAV4. My mechanic is a huge fan of Kia.
@@zwieseler, thanks, wow the Kia Sportage looks fantastic!
I can get this fuel mileage on a Yaris diesel 1.4 engine: in town (5.5l) highway (4.5 l) but it's sooo much more fun to drive, and it has just 90 HP. Sadly, this engine is no longer in production (last of the series).
I bought this car yesterday, going from Toyota Yaris hybrid. I like the fact that it's higher and comfort is a massive feature especially on long drives.
What's the highway consumption? Thanks.
Good mpg?
@@Supplementbenefits She doesn't give a sh.t mate
@@Supplementbenefits I consistently get around 68mpg (UK) with 65/45 city to motorway driving. That's normal drive mode, not eco mode.
@@TheNewcastlePilot Can you say how it is specifically on highways?
Finally a review of an affordable car instead of expensive cars drag races. Yeah!
Yes! My channel does not have the budget for expensive drag races so affordable cars are the only reviews I make! Here is mine of the Yaris cross: th-cam.com/video/yfKWIcLsUjU/w-d-xo.html
Affordable??? A "small" car that STARTS at £22500...?
Everything is affordable if you can afford it.
Still can't afford it 😭😭
@@Carcode “affordable cars are the only reviews I make”, he says as his last review was of a Porsche Taycan Turbo S worth over 100k lol
11:20 B mode in Toyota hybrids is for increasing engine braking from the combustion engine. If you want more regen, just press the brake. On the power gauge you can tell when you’re recharging the battery or discharging, and you’ll notice putting it into B mode makes no difference to the charging, but pressing the brake pedal does.
B actually reduces fuel economy in everyday driving, because it primarily uses the engine compression force, even before using regen braking.
It should only be used down long downhills, so it doesn't put too much strain on the battery and hybrid system and also by having the engine spin, it doesn't drop its temperature and won't need an unnecessary restart afterwards
Yes! Common misconception
...why would they do that? The industry standard has always been B for regen, dedicated button for engine braking.
@@wojciechmuras553 Toyota has set the industry standard for for this some 20 years ago 😉
It’s used for longish descents to avoid fully charging the traction battery and having to fall into conventional disc brakes with wear and tear, and the classic “brake fade” risk. It’s a bit like using low gears on a manual gearbox. I’m used to it on one of the older Yaris hybrids.
12:05 I’m not disappointed in how the Yaris Cross could just make it around the roundabout in one go.
I’m just wondering why road-makers would make a roundabout so small that such a small car would struggle to go around it.
Just UK things... 🤷♂️
@@carwow why you enjoyed letting those bots roaming along?
That mini roundabout was likely made at a time when cars were smaller, thus easier to mavoeuvre. Like most british roads lol
@@damarfadlan9251 because they cant be bothered to submit reports to TH-cam moderation teams. They expect us to ignore it or to do it ourselves.
I report these all the time. And nothing happens.
If the channel reported them, the moderators would listen more readily.
@@philipcollins8574 it’s a roundabout for Minis
10:45 As a owner of an Yaris i can confirm that no matter the age or the generation of the Yaris it's always fun driving one on a twisty road.
Me too.
Same here😉 not many people know that it's actually a really fun car (especially the old ones). And fucking reliable. I trash it around everyday and it still runs like new.
Rented a Yaris in Malta with full insurance) was so much fun to drive it round gozo
Interesting design! Similar to the CHR! Surprised they made something so close, basically a baby version of it even with the rear three quarters
Exactly! I honestly love the unique design of the CH-R and the Yaris Cross.
@@Irysuwu agreed! I think this will probably sell really well and its a good throw back to when a model of a car had many different iterations, versions, the Yaris now has an AWD sports car, hybrid, small hatch and now a cross over.
@@MrHVlogsMore yes the gr model it's absolutely good car
That thing is hideous 🤮
@@MrHVlogsMore Definetly, I’ve been a massive fan of the Yaris series and this definetly caught my eye.
I think automakers are catching on and sending their review cars to Mat without boot flaps, because he'll just throw them into the bushes
Shame Yaris Cross only shortlisted.
I had a test drive of this car earlier this week and it really impressed me. Features on the Excel modle are very good. Thank you for the great reviews Matt!
@Auraslashed, is the Yaris cross under power?
@@oldy0960 I wouldnt say that its under powered, like most hybirds you have a power mode. However you wouldn't buy this car if you where looking for a performance vehicle.
I just really want to say, I appreciate going back on the old review style: Actually revealing the car Mathew makes reference to as having *insert better feature* ; Great review, keep it like this, with the practicality section including people in frame as a visual check.
Visual check recommended.
I own an excel. I agree about the suspension and road noise on some surfaces. Not being used to CVT I took a while to get used to the way the engine comes in and out without permission. I do like the ca , it gives on average around 63 mpg taking it easy and on a run back from Cornwall on the M5/M4 it averaged 61.1 mpg cruising around the 70 mark, fully landed with holiday gear , two border Collies and my wife.
The tester did not mention that the car has three driving modes apart from the all electric button, One is dead eco and the car behaves very slow on picking up, the second is the default which is normal. the third is a sort of sport mode which throws eco out of the widow.
As I said before, I like the car and its growing on me as I get used to it. This is not a car for boy racers, its for people who spend most of their time on short runs, but sometimes need to drive a long way without getting a head or back ache. Above all it carries a ten year warranty called Relax, this though does requires dealer servicing to qualify. To be honest, with the technology in this car I believe that dealer servicing is essential ,as its very tech and computer controlled.
As pointed out elsewhere, engaging B when driving down hills brings in the engine for braking, it does not actuate the injectors or the spark plugs until you press the accelerator pedal. It also does not increase regenerative braking, just saves your brake pads on steep hills.
Yay!!! So glad you released this, I was waiting for carwow to drop this video, as I have ordered my yaris cross excel and wanted to know Mats thoughts!!!
I have been waiting so long to see this - I needed Matt’s tick of approval before I purchase a Yaris Cross! 😊
I do like how they’re making a crossover version of their cars
I've been waiting so long for this review. Thanks Mat
I’m liking the cross variants Toyota is making. The Corolla cross is very attractive and so is this one
yes it's also the corolla cross is now available in europe right now in uk is not released yet at the moment the corolla cross is very popular especially in southeast asia market
@@aimanfitri0iv Yeah especially the Hybrid version cuz it's not that expensive compared to the normal petrol version
@@Ozaneee that's good including lower road on cost and cost to run long-term and maintaining road cost
@@aimanfitri0iv Iya apalagi skema pajak baru jadi bisa lebih murah lagi karena berdasarkan emisi 😁
@@Ozaneee yes. The petrol cost 9x more expensive.
I’ve owned one of these for a year in Japan, we don’t drive it much but really happy with it. Pretty good for our two kids and incredible on fuel!
Why don't you drive it much? Isn't that the point of a car?
@@baronvonjo1929 you’ve obviously never been to japan
@@rwb_gary6355 Nope
11:19 This is FALSE. The B-mode increases engine braking done by the internal combustion engine. Essentially, it makes the hybrid system emulate a normal transmission in a low gear. It's supposed to be used in situations where there's a possibility of overheating the brakes, like when descending down a mountain. B-mode doesn't increase battery regeneration, in fact it reduces it to prevent overcharging when going downhill for a long time, so it's pointless to keep it enabled while driving around town.
Imagine i was looking for a review on this car earlier this week hoping matt had done one. Nice car and review
Hi Mat, always fun and informative to watch your content.. question though..could you please also do a review with a ''light'' offroad test with a 2022 Aygo X. i'm looking to buy one and give it the ''lifted'' treatment through a German company who offers a spacer kit for the suspension. Now as you might be aware of the lifted Subaru's and Mercedes 4x4 vans and even the prius that get lifted in the USA and lightbars get added..it might just be cool (i'd love) to see you show us what a small car could do from the factory or even with some quality TUV parts added in the form of a slight lift, maybe even with some meaty tyres?
Keep bringing us great content,
Cheers.. Rubem from the Netherlands
'B' mode is for engine braking, NOT regen braking! It's atually worse for regen at it means more breaking is done via the engine and not the electric motors.
It's a lovely car for what its intended to do - namely driving around the town and for short journeys to and from work and the shops. The seating position is excellent - you sit high up and it's very, very comfortable. Being a hybrid also gives you great fuel economy. We're averaging over 65 mph at present. Downsides? It is a little noisy when revved hard but nothing too bad. Our 18 inch wheels rumble over some potholes and the suspension is a bit hard but as Matt says it's really not too bad and a very minor issue if at all. Room in the back isn't great although fine for children. The boot is more than adequate. It's quite fun to drive too and although not a fast, sporty vehicle is responsive and grips the road well. All in all it's just what we (a retired couple) wanted and together with Toyota's reliability and solid build it should prove a durable buy. One last thing. Our model has numerous safety features that can be turned off if needs be but they can sometimes become a little irritating. That said, it's great to know that the car has high safety standards and comforting for drivers and pedestrians alike. A fair review, Matt. We agree fully. It's a lovely little urban car and one that we recommend thoroughly. Does what it says on the tin and so economical.
Great comment - very helpful! Thanks! I wonder whether it'd be a good car for cross-country trips too...
Love your vlogs Matt, never miss one.
I'm looking to visit UK family for first time in 4 years due to Covid but the current UK car hire prices will mean that I will not be able to visit this year.
Do you think the prices will come down through your summer & before I wish to visit in December 2022?
Keep up the great work - love it.
Saw it only on pictures, bought it before trying it, loved it in person, enjoying it every day.
The size of that Yaris I used to have a little Yaris back in the day was like a toy car but my goodness that thing was fun to drive 👍
That vvti engine was gangsta!
It was super good 0-20mph, but all other times was garbage. Had a yaris rental and can't stand it after 20 minutes and had to switch to a camry
Watching from Kenya 🇰🇪 I love the reviews
1:04 the black cladding part is for safety when the car gets hit from the rear it will take the force and also for saving your money when you get small knock from cars from the rear when there is slow traffic.
The B gear is not for more regen, but for more engine braking. It will cause the car to use the petrol engine to slow down the car and is meant to be used when going down long downhills on mountains. Using it in normal driving will cause worse fuel economy and less regen into the battery.
I have tested this car too. The most complete version. The weakest point is the engine. Starting 60 km/h and higher it makes noise during the acceleration. It must be a stronger engine for this car weight.
I realy like the design off the Yaris cross and the Way it look at the back! I would clearly prefer it as a family car.
Love the work Mat
Can you please review the highlander next
Never waited this long for you to review a car. Tank you
B mode to all automatic gearboxes induces engine brake and should be used only for steep downhill road sections. It does not affect regen at all.
It’s a well balanced commute for city living, great job Toyota 👏👏👏👏
Thanks for a normal review, i have been waiting for this. I know that this kind of videos dont have a lot views but this is a normal car.
Btw could you do Mazda CX30 revien with the X active engine 🥺
I didn’t know pigeon street turn ups were back in fashion. Good informative video
I have a 2006 Yaris right now and i wanna switch to another toyota, but im sentimentally attached to Yaris, so I want to buy another Yaris but better. The Yaris Cross seems like a great car! Everything in this video, even the "annoying" stuff about it, still pleases me. Compared to my now car, the Yaris Cross is a massive upgrade. My 2006 Yaris still runs like new, and never had massive problems with it. In two years i only had one incident with it when i couldnt drive it, and it was because the battery died. This car is invincible, I swear. Seeing how well this 16 year old car performs, I want to stick to Yaris in the future too.
any toyota is all good....i swear toyota ate the best most reliable cars in the world...i have a aygo and love it...
you guessed it im buying a new toyota corrola next
Same, my '09 Yaris is still crushing it, nearly 200k miles and still doesn't eat oil. Phenomenal car!!
@@alng2342 YESSSSS
Love your content keep it up
Thanks!
LOVE the video and the car , how mani miles with only mode ?(It will be made an 4x4 electric version left hand drive ?)
This is gonna be my wife's birthday gift next month, her first car! :D ordered it a few months ago, it's just about to be manufactured in Japan, exciting
Square wheel arches are deux rugeur these days. Good little round town rig,easy to park.
The yaris cross earned 5 star safety in euro ncap crash test.
I am just getting mine in next few days once licensing is done. Was lucky to get one from toyota approved used. I was told it will take 8 months for new one to be delivered. But a brand new 2022 4x4 yariss cross adventure with just 10 miles on it poped and I pounced. It is great car for the money and in the overcrowded towns is pretty useful drive. I still don't know how I got that lucky but I don't regret any euro I will spend on it.
Hey Mat for travelling not for city is it better hybrid or benzin? the yaris u are the best
This car has one fault, it's so incredibly expensive, you can buy Similarly equipped Rav4s for $2000 more in Australia
£22k for a Yaris. And I own an old one. Car prices are crazy nowadays.
Makes space for an Aygo Cross i version though. Which is quite a funky name ....... I GO CROSS EYE ! heh
It costs only 17300€ in the EU (granted not a hybrid) but that's litterally half the price of a RAV4 at 35 000€
How do they get away with charging 22 grand for this crap plastic box with no space and no style. Honestly baffles me people pick something like this over anything by Volkswagen or a European manufacturer.
Interesting. In the UK the cheapest RAV is £32000. That's £10000 more than the cheapest Cross model.
@@madliena97 Well, I've tried a T-cross. Same price. Cheap, scratchy plastic everywhere. Not very impressive to drive. Worse economy. A tad bit more space at the back, but no cupholder, no arm rest there. I'm 6 feet and the Toyota is very comfy at the back too. The Toyota feels more expensive inside and more comfortable. It also comes with a 3 year warranty that can be extended to 10 years if you service it at a Toyota dealer. No car can beat that.
Been waiting for this review.
Hey Mat, would you ever consider reviewing a Subaru?
Not sure if there’s a distribution difficulty etc but it’d be great to hear your thoughts on them from down here in Australia!
I am considering to go for the Toyota yaris cross the more I see about it I am more liking it.
i sell them here in NZ. We are old out. Can' get enough of them
I don't blame you and other TH-cam reviewers, for misunderstanding what the 'B mode' on the transmission truly does and when - and when NOT - to use it. Because Toyota dealers can be pretty clueless themselves when you ask them about it. I bought the new Yaris Hybrid last year. I've watched car reviewers testdrive the hybrid in the city with the B mode setting chosed, which means the car constantly loses speed when you aren't pressing the accelerator - and it gives you a worse fuel economy as well. They thought B stood for improved regenerative breaking as well.
Hi
After three months of driving the Yaris Cross Hybrid, here are my main likes & dislikes:
Likes:
1.Easy to drive from day one. It gives you the feeling of knowing the car.
2.Very good fuel consumption: 3.5 lit/100 km city driving and around 5 lit/100 km highway driving at 120-130 km/h
3.Value for Money
Dislike:
1.Engine noise (you get used to it or accept it)
2.Not enough trunk space, especially if you get rid of the useless repair kit and replace it with a spare tire.
3.No welcome home lights……it gets really dark
I need to point out that when driving on the motorway with +160Km/h, fuel consumption disappointed me. I was expecting lower values…..but okay, understandable….
For the Greek market, considering all aspects, the Yaris Cross is by far the best choice.
I'm learning to drive in the Yaris Cross and absolutely love it. I would buy it as my first car because its so reliable comfortable practical and easy to drive.
Ordered it back in September and it finally arrived last yesterday 🤩
So happy with it.
are 120 hp not too low?
@@Knightfire66 no it’s totally enough, acceleration is good too because of the electric boost from the hybrid motor. Gets a little noisy while pushing the gas really hard but once you get up to speed it’s quiet again
@@leong6622 yeah the noise is gone now with te 180 hp version. but I am waiting for the 180hp version of yaris cross... that car loooks really good and only 3,5l/100km...
Now there is a Yaris for everyone really
A sporty one
A basic one
And now a crossover one
Neat
Thank you Mr Matt ! I would really like to see you review of Hyundai kona N .
That Screen and the Graphics are what you get with the additional city pack. The screen and maps are much slicker with the new Smart connect screen
They 'Crossed' the line for being so good
WHEEEEEYYYYY
Nice option for my employees who do not want a small E-SUV if the leasing rates will be okay!
WHY WOULD ANYBODY WANT THIS OVER A YARIS 😓😭😭
I'm looking forward for Aygo X review, especially rear doors... )))
Hi, in Australia this car currently has no centre console armrest on any variant - and the top spec 'Urban' also has an ugly brown interior. For us that was a deal breaker. I hope in 2022, we get a Yaris cross with an armrest and a better interior.
Good afternoon Mat. A great review as always. I have a question to ask you. Do you think a Yaris Cross AWD is better than an FWD to compromise on space, price and fuel consumption? Or an AWD is a minor thing and an FWD should be the first choice?
I suppose it would come down to if you feel you need the AWD, as in have to drive in areas where a FWD will struggle. The AWD might have better suspension in the back, but you trade away trunk space, fuel consumption and several reviewers have said that somehow the FWD version actually drove better in regular conditions.
I’ve just collected my wife’s Yaris Excel a week ago. We love it so much I’ve just test driven and ordered a Yaris Cross for delivery October. I also test drove the Corolla but didn’t like it after owning my Skoda Yeti. Too low and too sporty firm ride in the GR model trim.
Toyota hybrids are designed to give the driver maximum control over the vehicle, including driving dynamics, and this is ultimately the purpose of the ‘D’ and ‘B’ modes that sometimes confuse clients. Put simply, the ‘D’ mode is for normal driving, and ‘B’ mode should be used when you are going downhill.
Why does a hybrid need to two separate modes for driving and going downhill? When driving down a steep, continuous grade, especially one with curves, you will use the brakes frequently. The ‘B’ mode in our Hybrid vehicles changes handling to give you better control in this situation.
Love small cars…so easy to maneuver, park, and easy on gas. Unfortunately, the N.A. versions often lack the bells and whistles of their foreign counterparts.
I don't think you will get this one in N.A... it's in the yaris line.
@@jonathanlyng3442 I was speaking in general. North American subcompacts (and compacts) never get all the options that are offered overseas, like power folding side view mirrors, sunroofs, heated and cooled seats, sports trims, etc. We always get the watered down versions. But I get it….subcompacts are not as popular anymore and most folks don’t wanna pay for the options. Still, at least offer then as an option.
Purchased a Yaris Cross Design with the SUV pack couldn’t be happier. Yes, the higher specs will have things that you need, but the car is definitely a lovely car. Downsides are:
The window buttons needs lights and there is a lack of lights at the rear. It also does not have front seat rear pockets.
The safety features are amazing, loving how easy it is to drive. Looks stunning and feels very good.
I work for Toyota and was at the head office in burgh heath 2 weeks ago and actually B mode doesn’t do any regenerative it actually disengages MG1 and the energy saved/ regenerate from the bakes actually just get wasted and not put back into the battery!!
Mat had reviewed the Yaris hatchback also sometime ago. It had such a bad build on the outside that you could dent it with a small hit and when closing the door it made sound of metal. Is the build quality similar on this Yaris Cross also?
I’m sure Toyota gave a flimsy load cover to the Yaris Cross, because they know if they hadn’t Mat would’ve thrown it in the bushes 😂😂😂
Little correction with the power of the car:
While the combinded 114hp are correct,
the maximum torque of 120Nm is only the combustion engine itself. The electric one alone has a maximum torque of about 140Nm
so.. 260Nm combined..? or 140Nm for 10 meters? just a little question on the torque of the car, since you're being quite vague...
Thank you for getting in the back seat. As a tall guy I am worried about that. Did you review the corolla cross.
It does have wireless charging in the tray in front of the gear selector I don't know if its a extra but comes with the premium edition.
Basically a taller and more expensive Yaris.
The reason why I would buy this over a Yaris is 4WD.
@Rica 01 Go away niece Rica.

weird that carwow havent done a review on the corolla cross....imean its kinda importent realse from toyota
We bought one in Australia and we love it
In Singapore we have the Yaris Cross in early 2020, but i have only noticed it now.
I would take this over the CH-R any day..
And a lexus version would be chic!
I, like many people, even non-car people, have a soft spot for boxy vehicles... Though I don't know why Toyota is naming every tiny product a Yaris... Why during their huge EV reveal... They revealed (though verily subtly) a Fj Cruiser looking like tiny SUV called... The Yaris Cruiser... Obviously 🙄
Also I can't help but say that... *this looks a Yaris on steroids*
I guess they're trying to create a cohesive "yaris" brand, but I don't believe that it has enough name recognition or history to go that road.
the lexus version of the c-hr did the nx
@@brrbrr474 yes. Even LFA.
@@ChunkyBunny2 yes. WRC version of Yaris worked the best.
They will actually build a Lexus version, has been confirmed.
Just need an Aygo X review now then :)
11:20 So many people get B mode wrong. It’s not harder regen, B mode is actual engine braking. The only place where you should enable B mode is when descending a mountain pass. When you are descending for a long time, you hybrid battery will get fully charged by regen, and charging it more will lead to overheating the battery. So you enable B mode and use your cylinders for braking instead, just like all “normal” cars do.
This guy ain’t sleeping. Keep em coming Mat.
During my test drive I was averaging 65 mpg and was automatically in EV mode approx 50% of the time?….Note: 10 year warranty if you continue to service at a Toyota Dealership 👍
We need a Yaris Cross GR-TRD
Hi strange question, but for bigger cars like this, would you mind testing boot size by putting an adult size wheelchair in please? Would be so helpful to see if it fits and how hard it is to lift in!
Fantastic video Mat!😸
Looks a lot more aesthetically pleasing than the standard Yaris from an exterior design perspective!
Most japanese/korean cars seem to have that interior fuel flap release thing. In 5 years of owning one i never got used to the idea and countless times had to go back inside to pull the release lever - usually when tired on the way home from work. Maddening!
thanks again for another car wow video
Now imagine a GR Cross Yaris
I don’t know if there is a market for this, but it would be pretty cool i think.
I'm sure there will be, at least in Japan. If the Prius Prime can get a GR makeover then surely this will!
That’s actually what we need from time to time a low/medium cost cars to review
Because actually let’s be honest not everyone on this channel can afford porches:)
Outstanding vehicle and Outstanding review
that load cover is great if the boot door is well sound isolated
Hi Mat, thank you for your video.
Let me give you an advice related to the B mode in hybrid vehicles. When you are constantly using the B mode, it creates additional stress to the hybrid system reducing its lifespan. So my tip would go for not advising hybrid drivers to do that.
If you would like a more technical explanation on that matter, I would gladly do it.
i'm interested in your more elabotate explanation
B mode should be used going downhill, to help car slow down by not only using brakes. So you will save the brakes, and it will also charge battery a little bit more than using just brakes. It is not intendent to use B mode in city, like one foot driving.

@@ivoc9023 well said and it can reduce your fuel economy. Also, why press the EV button when the car automatically goes into electric running at low speed. EV button is basically for manoeuvring the car without the ICE starting
It's a really beautiful car! The drawbacks are minor. I would choose it over a Peugeot 2008 because of efficiency, reliability and more normal cockpit. And it is a good choice for most people, who cannot afford superexpensive EVs. My only question is: Is the motor punchy enough to drive comfortably on mountain roads and elevated streets?
It is a little bit louder when going uphill because it is cvt... But it is very good to drive on twisty roads.. even mountain roads. Very precise and light for that kind of car. It is light car so its got enough power. When you accelerate hard, you also hear cvt quite enough, but nothing bad. The biggest drawback is wind noise on speeds above 120 km/h. But you get used to that. If you have good music in there.. you dont even think about it.
@@ivoc9023 thsnk you very much. Noise is not problem for me. I am concerned about power when going uphill.
@@ivoc9023 hi ivoc90.
@@leandroszoidis9414 Yaris Cross could be a nice alternative.
Yeah the power is more than enough for all situations. Toyota hybrids are good to drive
I have a Toyota Corolla and I've never had a problem with the filler cap release, before that I had a Yaris and didn't have a problem then either
