To be honest Tom, I was totally underwhelmed by the car. I found, as you did, that the interior was boringly bland with, to my mind, an old gear selector and far too much grey frabic and plastic. The lack of a center armrest was unforgivable and the seats were just bum rests. I didn’t drive the car so I can’t comment on the dynamics but I think you covered them well.
This car is a load of rubbish. Because of my circumstance I had to have this car, it is my 6th Yaris. The first five were and are magnificent on all aspects. This one has shrunk compared with my previous 5. The interior is really terrible. I put all my concerns to the head of Toyota UK and he never answered one of my concerns. I do not find any difference in miles per gallon. At least I have a car that is really needed for my terrible situation.Never mind, such is life. Thank you for letting me for making a comment.
Bought one 5wks ago and so far loving it. Have only done city driving and a couple of 300km return trips and the noise didnt bother me. No arm rest didnt bother me either. Currently getting 4L so happy with that. I previously had 2 Corollas then went to the Suzuki Swift for the past 4yrs but glad to have returned to Toyota
One thing I hate about reviewers is that they show high end specs when in reality I hardly see any of them on the road. Only mid or low end variants. Thank you for showing us the "mid spec".
Tested this back to back against a new Yaris. Ordered one immediately. A lot of the features you mentioned, like the electric boot and the bigger screen, are available on the higher specs. It’s worth it just for the heated seats!
Excellent car, Yaris is rated internationally as the 'safest small car/suv on the market. With one of the very best Fuel Economy and resale value out of any Cars. Now they even have a 5 Year Unlimited KM/MILE Warranty with 'capped price best value servicing for 5 years. Amazing cars.
Thanks for a calm balanced review - much appreciated. I have ordered one (Excel in UK) and your review confirmed to me I had made the right choice! Excel covers most of the “negatives” so should be great.
Jason when you use acronyms and initials it is etiquette to explain them the first time you use them. Did you say AUB or AB. I know ABS is Anti-skid braking system, but I have no idea what you are talking about. I had the same problem watching the medium sized SUV video. You are quite correct that there is an absence of real comfort and luxury in the small car segment. Electrically adjustable driver and front passenger seats with fold out arm rests are far more important than the sort of options offered like a sun roof. I would choose comfortable seats every time.
Wow I’ve just ordered one of these in the UK and was surprised at the differences. It comes with the arm rest, electrically adjustable lumber support, driver and passenger seat height adjustment, electric tailgate with foot sweep opening, keyless entry, 10” touchscreen wireless Apple car play, 1/2 synthetic leather seats. 40/20/40 rear seat with cup holders. 60/40 split height adjustable boot floor. Your dash is the same as my wife’s standard Yaris and my Cross has an upgraded display. You guys get a really cheated out trim compared to us.
In Slovakia the trim what they reviewed is Comfort (without style and tech options). And he is comparing it with Kamiq in Style trim (full digital cockpit). Yaris in Executive trim or Adventure trim have same or better features like Kamiq.
We bought one in feb a GX AWD 2020 model its been great to drive and park.The safety features are above average, haven't had the chance to use the AWD option in it yet ,fuel consumption has been better then advertised in some cases always used 98.
Just came from the dealer where I put in an order for this car that looks good on every video and on my many testdrives. Mine is commin in July-23...just can't wait😎🇸🇪
Your videos are very well made, I watched a few and I liked them all. Good on ya!!! I am considering this car at the moment amongst with the KIA Seltos or Hyundai Kona (bigger size cars I know it). I'm looking for a city car very efficient on the road and that it will retain its resale value, so far the Yaris Cross (I'm looking at the Urban version) ticks all the boxes in my criteria. You didn't mention the servicing costs that Toyota offers, accordingly to my research it is also very economical on that aspect, $205 capped per service (every 12 months or 15000 KM) for 5 years, same as the warranty term. So based on 15K km/yr per five years I should get the rego and insurance for free compared to the Kona and half of the service costs as well when compared with Seltos. I think I'm pretty much sold! Thanks a lot for sharing Keep the videos coming, cheers!
My favourite feature is the 40-20-40 spit rear seats. With the centre seat folding down to make an armrest with cup holders. But what it means is that I can make a trip to Bunnings or Ikea and put long items down the centre without losing any real seats. Not a fan of there being not driver armrest, that is a real oversight.
A good concise review on the Yaris cross; I have the excel model ordered for next March ‘ as when checking all the reviews the bottom line is that this is another good car 🚙 from Toyota 👍🇬🇧
I have ordered mine in Urban Hybrid Cross AWD. I have owned a 2006 Bubble Yaris and traded this in on a Cross. I wanted the very latest Tech in Safety, which this has at that price and the economy to match. Hopefully the safety kit stops any trouble and active safety if id doesn't. You always wish you had the extra safety kit after you realise you didn't tick that box. I love the Blue here as i bought with the Retro Brown interior. Its not boring. look forward to getting it.
@@robinwatson4282 It's a small car? Sure, not tiny as in Japanese Kei style cars but it's still a small car. And my daily driver is a Jazz, so no, no articulated lorry.
@@jeeves6490 Haha, indeed, the Jazz (or the Fit, as it's known in Japan) is certainly a small car. Considerd the Fit, actually, as it ticked a lot of boxes, but alas, a bit too small for our needs.
@@jeeves6490 Yup, it does have a decent boot (especially thanks to those magic seats), but the Yaris has a fairly needed additional space. Just a pity the interrior of the Yaris Cross is so bland. Might give the Honda some more thought - thanks.
the only concern i have with hybrid is the fact that i don’t use the car every day and from what i’ve heard with high voltage battery, this could give the trouble in the long term for the battery and they’re not cheap to replace apparently.
The cargo cover can be twisted to decrease it's size and stored in the side in the cargo area. I find this as a convenient thing. =) The seats in your car is the cheaper option. In higher trim levels you get better seats with better materials, bigger side support and lumbar. Or maybe better seats are not offered at your place? But hey! I see you got the "binocular" digital instrument cluster! We don't have this option in Europe! =(
You have no idea what a 'firm ride' is until you've driven a Hyundai i20 active. Think it gets the 'active' part from how actively you'll be dodging parts of the car's interior when a speed bump at just 10mph launches your head at the roof.
360 camera auto switching to front view when you slow down to low speed is amazing. If that had a higher res screen that would be awesome. Nothing else is offering that feature in a small car. Coupled with the safety features, this is pretty neat for around town.
Excellent review. Test-drove one of these today, and your observations are spot-on! I also drove a Prius in the same session, and noticed a very considerable difference in general road noise (the Prius was 'noisy' in comparison, though it is is of course a pretty refined drive)) so I really liked the Yaris Cross in this respect. However, you say, at higher speeds, things get pretty hairy in the noise department - that's a worry, as I plan to do a faor bit of highway driving of a couple of hours or more. Any thoughts on this?
I think you forgot to mention about the safety features integrated with this car. Kia Stonic is another car you need to make review video of. I think that’s the better alternative for those who are not liking Yaris cross.
I couldn't feel comfortable behind the wheel, something about ergonomics, maybe with time you get used but my first impression wasn't good. Corolla felt a lot better.

Nice video and informative .I have ordered a Yaris Cross Design, mid range UK version which should arrive after a 6 week wait . I've gone for white as its $1200 cheaper than metallic. .I was hoping the front seats would be an improvement over my 2020 Yaris 4 cylinder Hybrid. I may have to get a Recaro as you say factory seats are poor.
Iam planing. To buy New Toyota. Yaris. Cross Presently. I ha be. Toyota. Corolla. Sedan Which has 4. Cylinders Is this Yaris. Cross as power ful. As. 4. Cylinders Please. Elaborate
It feels like Toyota has two design teams for their cars by what they're releasing recently. This and the C-HR look quirky and cool, while the Corolla Cross and Kluger look stretched and bloated.
Excellent review. Toyota has totally dropped the ball for tall passengers. With no height adjust on the passenger front seat I need to make sure I only date short women
There is no offload performance to any car that has cross, country, all road in its name and has unpainted plastic around, it's marketing bs. These are city offroaders for people who get false feel of safety and can't park next to a curb.
Would have been nice of you to include the basic fule milage! I saw other videos state, around 60 to 65 mpg. and if you want to drive like a 98 year old lady with a new drivers licence,, you could get a unbelieaveable 70 plus mpg.
Seriously makes no sense to spend the extra $2000 for the equivalent hybrid, you'll save about $250/year on fuel or less then $5 a week giving you a break even of about 8 years not including the interest on the $2000 that's on 10,000 km per annum and before anyone goes on about co2, the production of the hybrid system negates that too, plus the car is a $34,000 joke in my personal opinion and that Echo -esk interior from 1999 probably uses the same 1.5 l from the echo sedan too 🤣🤣
@@josephinederivaophelan1533 if you are a Toyota fan get a corolla hybrid more space nicer interior and save a grand if you are looking at top specifications I'd rather buy a Kona N line , more space, nicer interior more power yes uses more fuel but is 2 grand cheaper

Watched reviews of the UK version of the Yaris cross to compare against what we get. What a difference. They get a centre arm rest, a much better looking mmi screen, and it looked like they can get black leather in their top speck model, instead of the ugly chocolate brown we get, and have no choice . We obviously don,t deserve these features. As a Toyota lover, having had a Yaris for 11years, i,m a bit cheesed off and won,t be buying one.
Toyotas are too overpriced for me…whether it’s a hybrid or not. I had a look a couple of months ago back when I was car shopping but the premium you pay for a toyota was just too much for me.
Overated average mans brand taking advantage of the market they lead in. They clearly design stuff that 5 years behind coz its cheaper and more profits to them.
This car just makes me yawn. Underwhelming for $40K. If one is so stingy on paying for fuel then catch the bus. Harry high pants waistline and fat pillars turn the windows into portholes. No passenger mirror WTF!? No plug-in either. Toyota aren't stupid and know their market demographic well. Long white socks and sandals anyone?
@@bayly1977 33K? This 2021 Yaris Cross Hybrid GXL +on roads is $39,925 + insurance. One can get a bare bones GX 2WD for $33K and that is guaranteed to be even more boring and povo. The bonus crock sandals and combover wax is free tho...
@@bayly1977 Is this review vehicle a povo GX or upspec GXL dude? Sheesh.. Watch the vid again. Go and enjoy a cheap shitbox Yaris if you so desire but no need defend it with me.
Cant match ADR claims? What tf are you doing? I have no trouble matching and bettering it. And wow 3.8...mums 2018 astra gets 3.4 highway and 3.8 around town. No hybrid either.
Overpriced and underequipped for what it is and Toyota are trying to cash in on their reputation and the SUV fad. Built for the UK market in France and waiting lists for this car is November 2022, 6 months away. By the time you receive it Toyota will have raised the price as well. Lacking in extras . No things like rear USB sockets or passenger visor mirrors. No passenger seat height adjustment or lumbar support. Built as cheap as hell. Toyota have to stop being tight wads.

I Want Toyota Yaris Cross in India ... Please
How many people are taller than you?
About 1/6 of Australian adult males, apparently
Toyotas are too overpriced for me…whether it’s a hybrid or not. I had a look a couple of months ago back when I was car shopping but the premium you pay for a toyota was just too much for me.
Overated average mans brand taking advantage of the market they lead in. They clearly design stuff that 5 years behind coz its cheaper and more profits to them.
I suppose thats why Toyota is the most popular car manufacturer in the world 👍 🤣 🇬🇧
Toyota is a basic car. Really ugly interior and dated. They look soo cheap. Mazda is the way to go.
Unfortunately when it comes fuel Economy Toyota leave Mazda looking good but very Ordinary 🤣 🇬🇧
This car just makes me yawn. Underwhelming for $40K. If one is so stingy on paying for fuel then catch the bus.
Harry high pants waistline and fat pillars turn the windows into portholes. No passenger mirror WTF!? No plug-in either.
Toyota aren't stupid and know their market demographic well. Long white socks and sandals anyone?
Very witty
33k, big difference to 40k
@@bayly1977 33K? This 2021 Yaris Cross Hybrid GXL +on roads is $39,925 + insurance.
One can get a bare bones GX 2WD for $33K and that is guaranteed to be even more boring and povo.
The bonus crock sandals and combover wax is free tho...
@@AnyoneSeenMikeHunt yes GX hybrid is 33k so you're straight up wrong. 🤷♂️
@@bayly1977 Is this review vehicle a povo GX or upspec GXL dude? Sheesh.. Watch the vid again. Go and enjoy a cheap shitbox Yaris if you so desire but no need defend it with me.
As with the normal Yaris these cars are underpowered for this price point.
Petrol is, hybrid isn’t
I reckon this is the closest thing you can get to the original rav4.
Too expensive. Vitara beats it.
Hi
Cant match ADR claims? What tf are you doing? I have no trouble matching and bettering it.
And wow 3.8...mums 2018 astra gets 3.4 highway and 3.8 around town. No hybrid either.
From those numbers, you or are your routes are far more conservative than average.
@@chasingcars 🤷
What a disappointment! Mazda CX-30 seems way better.
And you must take into Consideration the great MPG Advantage 🤣 👍 🇬🇧
What a ridiculous thing… Who buys this crap? Just get a proper hatchback.
I just feel this vehicle is unnecessary. Computer says no.
What?
Overpriced and underequipped for what it is and Toyota are trying to cash in on their reputation and the SUV fad.
Built for the UK market in France and waiting lists for this car is November 2022, 6 months away.
By the time you receive it Toyota will have raised the price as well.
Lacking in extras . No things like rear USB sockets or passenger visor mirrors. No passenger seat height adjustment or lumbar support. Built as cheap as hell. Toyota have to stop being tight wads.
😃😀🙂👍
why would anyone buy a car with crap seats?
damn that's an ugly front end
