I bought my Yaris Cross Hybrid last month, I love it! I love how unique it looks! Comfort and fun ride, most importantly is the amazing fuel consumption!

[yuribudilov]

I went through this exercise in 2023. We bought the hatchback Yaris Hybrid in 2023 for my wife, the ZR (top of the range model, hybrid). So far so good but for $38K drive-away it is quite expensive for such a small car. But Yaris Cross Hybrid is even more expensive than Yaris Hatchback Hybrid and as a 2nd car we dont need the extra space. For both Yaris and Yaris Cross my only complaint so far is that both of them could really use more power and in Europe the same cars can be had with 10% more power/torque (130hp versus 115hp). Shame that Toyota does not bring the 130hp Yaris and Yaris Cross Hybrid models in Australia in 2024. Also the rear brakes on Yaris and Yaris Cross are drums (AFAIK) and I feel both of these cars could use better brakes too and all disks, no drums. The fuel economy is great, all you need in 91 RON regular unleaded and Yaris hatchback in city, suburbs and freeways uses about 3.8 litres per 100kmh with 1 or 2 passengers (I have seen 3.6 litres as lowest and 4.0 litres as highest, when fully loaded with 4 people and boot luggage, driving on highways and freeway, speeds of 80-110kmh).

This isn't the 2024 Yaris cross, the 2024 has an updated infotainment system and digital dash screen. Please review the new model or update the title of the video.

[andy.freemind]

Thanks for the test! This is model 2023, not 2024. The new infotainment (2024) is much better also the noise reduction (thicker windshield etc.)

[stevensumner]

Thanks for sharing this real-world information

Good evening, l now think both the Toyota Yaris and the Toyota Yaris GR are good, but for me it doesn't make any difference, what counts is each customer's pocket.

[sorinmiliescu]

Sorry mate, but the headlights are not dharwd on between the cross and the hatch

[classfieldtran]

How long will it be for the wait for Toyota Yaris Cross will be as I read it would very expected for 3-6 months

[kinguche]

I pick cross but no money to buy it yet praying to save up

[stkyfngez]

Does anyone know if the Yaris Cross is going to be available in the US at anytime?

[dlorde]

That Yaris hatch is the 2023 model. The 2024 models have been updated and improved.

[johnbgood]

Hope BYD can bring the EV BYD Yuan UP to Australia soon.. The BYD Yuan Up is similar size to the Yaris Cross and selling in China for US$14000 (A$23000). Toyota cars are way way overpriced.

[venkyraghu]

For the money I think it is better to go one step higher and get Corolla cross or Honda HRV hybrid. Comparison of the above 2 will be useful

I’m currently in Australia and your cars are cheap compared to the UK.
A quick Google search shows the average salary in 2023 in Australia was around $AUD 96k (but can vary by region), and $AUD 70k equivalent in the UK.
Toyota Yaris Cross GR Sport $AUD 41.4k, $AUD 56k UK. 😢

[BennnWJK]

Small crossovers like the yaris cross are pointless

[dbmclean]

You don't have to mention the monopoly bunnings say hardware store instead.

[bludclone]

definitely not the crossover. get that schnitzel out of here

[billmusik]

They don't sell them in the US anymore must be junk
