Who cares if the ford puma is slightly better to drive? This Yaris will still be running when the ford had been recycled.

Toyota ECVT is a massive plus! Not a negative by any means. If you like to floor it regularly this is not the car for you. You buy a hybrid like this as it’s more efficient and reliable than its rivals. If you want to go fast and accelerate hard (which is inefficient) there are much better options.

I would happily buy one for its brand reliability and petrol consumption alone.

Having owned 3 Yarises I am leaning towards a Cross for my next car.

It seems that for 99% of car reviewers are obsessed with so called 'scratchy' plastics which I find laughable to be honest. I cannot recall the last time in my 50 years of driving that I sat in a car scratching the plastic trim. Why even would you?

I'm 5'10" and have no trouble fitting in the rear seat of my Yaris and have ample leg room. Out of 100 cars you pass on the road how many of those have two 6 footers in the rear seat?

Nice car.

Why do car journalists always complain about the CVT? I drive a Toyota with CVT myself. It is a very economical transmission. Why rev the car to get a quick acceleration? CVT cars are built to be economical. We should get rid of the idea that quick is better, more fuelefficient is better. acceleration is an item from the past. Car journalists shouldn't be concerned about it at all. Most cars get from 0-60 in say 6-12 seconds. So why bother? And why do you need a bigger fueltank with such god mpg figures? Love the car and the colour by the way.

Picked mine up 3 days ago in the design spec. First hybrid for me and I love it. Stable, comfortable drive. Glad I got it 👍😊

"nasty feeling plastic" i am driving car over 15 years and never tought about feeling the plastic in my car

i have the black yaris cross hybrid, german edition, front wheel drive since 3 months. absolutely love it, it drives very similar to the lexus 450h, i owned the lexus for ten years, but the yaris needs half the gas, 12l vs 4.9l, while it does rev when you hit the pedal, the extra electric motor gives it the responsiveness i want to have in order to speed up, overtake on highway. etc. i highly recommend this car, also the boot space is enough for shopping, baby carriage etc. very fun to drive and cost are low. 4.9l avg is very economical. comfortable ride, also on long distance.

I went from a aygo. To the Yaris cross design . Very economical. Loads of space. Great design.

Bought the Hybrid AWD in Australia 2 months ago. In my 70s. It's safe, perfect hip hight, room for grandchildren, radar saves my knees in city traffic. Very economical on short trips and 360 overhead view is great for tight parking. It fits where Puma won't. Love the feel on open roads, but that's not where the savings are. The Toyota app to find your car is fabulous 👌.

I recently got one in Japan. My wife wanted the auto parking feature - I thought it would be quite gimmicky, but the thing parks itself like a beast.

Great and very practical review as I am currently considering this trim level. I was considering the CHR, but this review has pushed the Yaris Cross to the top of my list based on its real world mpg.

[philipwookey]

Reviewers are always negative about the CVT gearbox on Toyota's. I've owned a CVT for 18 months, and not once has the engine over-revved and made a racket, if you floor the accelerator, then maybe it does, but then a hybrid is not for you if you regularly do that. I've owned a DSG and a CVT, and in my experience the CVT is miles better.

I got my Yaris Cross two months ago, and I am a happy camper 🙂 - in my country we do not have the English levels, mine is called a "style" and has a medium package with panorama roof and tech package, and no AWD - I dont need that - but I do have a removable trailer hook, for bike transport, a small trailer and maybe a camplet for camping in the future. I think it has plentifull oompf, you can set the car in eco (green) normal or red mode, and in red mode it reacts quite potently. Longer hauls are not as economical as short drives, but it handles well, especially the driving assistance and adaptive cruise control works as a charm, and makes driving easy and stressless. The automatic highbeams (not the fully automatic highbeam), works much better that on the old Yaris, maybe because it's a higher SUV car? What I like the most is the height of the drivers seat, plus the CVT its so easy and comfortable!

This is the car I am planning to buy at the end of this year or next year. It is so nice. I am planning to go for the AWD Dynamic version.
The only downsides is that it does not have a spare wheel in the back. But I think it is a very good, affordable, safe car for my budget.

[KazanKhan]

Awesome review.... this is one of the best car review channels.
Looking forward to more great content 😎👌

I have a Yaris 2021 which seems to be the heart of the Cross too. I absolutely love the car.

[aasheeshleve]

Booked one today. Delivery expected Nov-22.
My first car. I hope i made a good decision

[PrinceXavier]

Puma is a mild hybrid which is low tech compare to the cross.
Full hybrids can only operate with a e-cvt transmission.
The cross can do 950 km on a single 36L tank so you will refuel less than the kamiq which can do 893 km on a 50L tank.

Great review. I got all answers for my qualifications about this car. Thanks for your job. Subscribed.

The AWD model comes with independent rear suspension which will pay back the extra investment on every potholed road you travel upon.
