The Toyota Yaris Cross is a small SUV that, as the name suggests, is based on the regular Yaris supermini. It has a higher ride height, rugged styling and a more spacious interior and is only available with a hybrid powertrain. The latter means it can run on electric power for short distances and is capable of returning class-leading fuel economy of around 60mpg. In a market crammed with very talented small SUVs such as the Ford Puma, Skoda Kamiq and the Carbuyer-award-winning Renault Captur, is the promise of low running costs enough to tempt buyers? Nicola gets behind the wheel to find out.

This is the first @carbuyer video I've watched in quite a while. I think the approach to this review is absolutely perfect for the general person; not over emphasising mediocrity, recognising that some things just aren't important, and the communication doesn't assume knowledge of vehicles. Very much like early @carbuyer reviews. The sub 10 minute length is perfect, too. Nobody wants to spend 20+ minutes watching someone wiggle every bit of plastic or sticking stuff in fake holes...

My only negative is that it is appropriate to say it is based on the regular Yaris. However the constant references and comparisons through the video to the Yaris could put some people off buying one as why pay extra just for a Yaris. Perhaps Toyota should have given it a different name . It is more than that and should be reviewed on its own and compared to the Puma and Tcross or Troc and see how they compare price and spec wise.

Nice review. I have the standard Yaris MK3 hybrid with 99hp. This new MK4 is 114hp, but since it's in an SUV body it's suited to city and short - medium distance driving. Long distance will be pretty poor with engine noise due to the low power of the car and CVT gearbox. However practicality of this better than the normal yaris as mentioned in the review.

@simonthomas5367 Жыл бұрын

I tested one of these yesterday. Really refined. Farewell crashy suspension. Really comfy and the engine is so much better than the previous gen Yaris. The engine noise was nothing like a diesel! It just sounded like a nice, pokey petrol engine and was never loud or intrusive. The dials are completely different to a normal Yaris also. One big display instead of two binacles. Much better. So good I ordered one!

@ramishrambarran3998 Жыл бұрын

The noise from the engine is the result of using an engine having three cylinders instead of four. Three exhaust pulses every two crankshaft rotations is more intermittent than four every two crankshaft rotations. Many hybrid vehicles are opting for three cylinders.................It is cheaper to make a three-cylinder engine. Trinidad & Tobago. West Indies.

@@simonthomas5367 What I meant, is for Toyota, it is cheaper to manufacture a three cylinder engine, rather than a four cylinder engine. Too, the engine physical size may be smaller than a four cylinder engine.....And I am not doubting that your engine may be more economical than a four cylinder engine of the same displacement. Just remember that the turbo is the life....and death of an engine. They usually have a shorter serviceable life than the engine itself. The renewal of a turbo will set you back (not the car manufacturer) a few thousand dollars. Yes, The trend is to put smaller turboed engines into vehicles today, to get the power of a bigger engine. But YOU pay for all of that when its time to renew the turbo. Add that to your savings in gasoline ! Trinidad & Tobago. West Indies.

@simonthomas5367 Жыл бұрын

@@ramishrambarran3998 Yes I completely agree there. In fact, my 3 cylinder is a bi-turbo which is what makes it particularly economical. But as you say, more parts = more to go wrong! I also run a couple of Honda's from the 1990's. One mono and one four cylinder. Both with carbs. Both indestructible! Bizarrely, modern bike displacement is now getting bigger to pollute less. Or at least to comply with Euro Norms. The world is turning upside down!

Toyota should improve on sound proofing across their range though. Having driven or owned, Prius, ct200h, rav4, etc.. the Toyota hybrid is the best and most reliable. Sister has Mercedes hybrid, starter motor went in under 3yrs, computer stats showed car restarted itself 50 times in 6km driving. Starter motor around 1k euros. Toyota have different set-up. No one does hybrid like them.

@toyotaprius79 2 жыл бұрын

It depends very much on the battery state of charge. The best way to drive any Toyota hybrid, such as the Prius, is not to stamp on the throttle but to press and dig in more and more. That way it feels like a big engine under medium load. There are over 20 "modes" that a hybrid synergy drive engine/computer can operate under. The entire hybrid's drivetrain response will give much more of a refined shove sensation building up speed rather than the cvt-scream of a pedal to the metal approach.

Basic but ergonomic interior quality and layout. Very effective heated seats with 2 levels. Surprising steering wheel heating option that works well. Appealing exterior. 4x4 would be my preference instead of fwd. Very good front visibility, good parking camera/guide. Slightly underpowered for merging and highway performance. Rear gate struts need to be more powerful to allow for door to open on its own. Rear gate latch is badly designed and gate needs to be slammed to shut properly. Jittery ride on uneven pavement, unlike other Toyotas (Camry, Corolla). Suspension could be improved. Economical MPG but the fuel tank small size makes this car a runabout city auto , not a long range cruiser.

They would sell more if it wasn't called a Yaris. People seem very sniffy about the little smaller 1.3 and tbf this does not even look like a Yaris.

btw all Toyotas now that are on the new hybrid platform has that grumble noise so get used to it, or don't get a Toyota hybrid.

The Ford ecoboost engines are troublesome. The Toyota is a far better long term buy.

Was looking to buy this to my mom but interior looks very basic and cheap. I'll pick Peugeot or Audi instead.

Yeah this is something I picked up on in my review, I’ve tried the Peugeot 2008 and the Hyundai Bayon and both felt more premium! It’s a shame, I’m sure your mum will be very happy with either the Audi or Peugeot!

In my opinion the term "self charging" is the greatest con perpetrated on the car buying public. The only way to get energy into the car is by pouring petrol into the fuel tank & burning it! Remember if the car has a chimney its not electric!
