10:11 Verdict
Toyota's Yaris family expands with its second entry - the Yaris Cross small SUV. Remember when automakers used to build wagon variants of popular hatchbacks? Well you can think of the Yaris Cross as essentially today's version of that trend.
It takes the components of the Yaris hatchback and re-packages them into a unique-looking small SUV body, adding a healthy dose of ride-height and a new electric all-wheel drive option in the process.
Can it offer buyers better value than its controversially-priced hatchback sibling? We've driven it at its Australian launch to find out. In this review we'll break down this car's individual grades, its price and relative value, its safety features, its looks and design, as well as how practical it is.
We'll also weigh it up on paper against its popular rivals, like the Volkswagen T-Cross, Mazda CX-3, Hyundai Venue, and even the Subaru XV which is its closest hybrid competitor.
We'll also asses what it's like to drive, and take a look at its fuel consumption, both the claimed/combined figures, and those we extracted in the real-world.

The gauge cluster in this car is awesome. Drives well too.
Tom speaks Australian and is driving through gum trees. Yay... Now I finally get this cars capabilities in Australia. Look forward to an update when released on the Australian market with different colours to view. Overall good review. 👍
Good to note that the larger CH-R has 318L cargo space, while the smaller Yaris Cross 390L (2WD) 314L (AWD without a spare tyre).
Yup, I check(ed) it out today and was surprised to see more cargo space in the cross
Just a hint to everyone interested in this car: make sure you test drive it on the highway - see if it’s too noisy for you.
Seems to be an unpopular opinion, but I think it’s cute
its unpopular because it is expensive in a good edition , its f ugly and not so technological..
on the other side there is always Ford puma st line x
I miss the Yaris in all forms in the USA (it was discontinued here in 2018). I loved my regular 2015 Yaris SE hatchback 5-MT. Subcompacts are great, but nothing good is offered in the USA in that segment.
la sto aspettando. deve essere un gioiellino.
i like hard plastic interior....easy to clean and very durable
Not! We test drove one and it already had very visible scratches around where a phone would sit, the plastics are awful!
Great design and the Hybrid is definitely the one to get, unless Toyota decides to put the 3 cylinder turbo engine from the GR Yaris into this car
Love how that car looks.
Fabulous car, can't wait to drive one 😀
In which factory it is produced.
Is the engine atmospheric or turbo?
What is the engine code and transmission code?
How many horsepower is the engine?
Awww.. was hoping it would be the new cool 200kw Yaris. Odd that the Yaris is discontinued in the US and we get new ones?
I hope they bring this to the US/Canada.
Wow I like the shape of the car, is a little bit like a combination of the ford puma and Rav4
Cant wait for the aygo cross
I loved my 2007 yaris hatchback
The Rav4 storage us not rubberised so why would a Yaris be? Please think about what your saying .
The most important part of the car is the TRANSMISSION. If it's a CV transmission, it will not last very long. What is it??? How big is the engine??? A 1 litre GEO Metro had plenty of power. How big is this one?
A great one Toyota Yaris cross for Boston, Miami etc…. Cool video
Awesome car😍😍
cant wait for this to arrive in the UK
it has.....
I hope that the build quality is better than the standard Yaris. With the standard Yaris the door close with a tinny "clang", the metal is very thin and the screen surround on the dash easily falls off. Here in the UK the standard Yaris starts at a really pricey 20k (UK pounds) If the Yaris Cross has the same poor build quality as the standard Yaris, I will be buying a Suzuki Vitara mild hybrid, which in the UK starts at £20k (UK pounds.) Thanks for a great review.
Suzuki are an odd one. Ive had a few, some build quality issues to note and the Vitara hasnt got the best steering feel. That besides it seems a tough car.
How much does it cost in Europe?
What is the obsession with hard plastic? Most of people he surfaces are not touched anyway and if so, so what? I had no idea our fingertips were now so delicate. Had reviewers never raised hard plastics as an issue, it wouldn’t have become one.
Best comment on here. Ive said this for years. I like hard interior plastics because they dont wear out. A lot of soft touch in lower end price brackets is just thin foam crap that feels cheap and would wear into holes quickly
They should call it a rav 2
متى ستكون متاحه فى اوروبا ؟ وكم السعر ؟
Why do all reviewers sit at the back, comment about how much legroom and headroom they have, but FAIL to mention their height? It means nothing unless we know how tall you are.
Great, if this comes to India. When ????
Does Australia get the corolla cross?
CarsGuide any lumbar support?!
Türkiye ye de gelecek mi cevapları bekliyorum
Why does no review of this mention the Kona Hybrid?
Very nice
ขนาดกำลังดี รูปทรงสวยงามทั้งภายนอกและภายใน ถ้าได้เครื่องไฮบริคและตั้งราคาให้เหมาะ โตโยต้าไทยรีบนำมาขายเลยครับ
I Agree!!!
If you had to choose between Toyota Yaris Cross and Hyundai Kona Elite - which would win overall?
I would really like to know, too.
Where is the advertised gold colour version?
One day the whole SUV styling language will be consigned to the dustbin of history, like tail fins and pop up headlights, seeing little hatchbacks dressed up like this makes me hope that that day comes soon.
Along with reviewers obsessing over low profile tyres and hard plastics
I disagree. As the population ages, small SUV will only become more popular, because their extra height makes them easier to get in and out of. My mum is looking at them for this reason.
I still don't know the release date in Europe.
Are you Australian or from NZ?
'OZ'.
So this is the new matrix I guess & it's cute!
Why don't they sell this in North America? We've got quite the taste for crossovers here, even small ones like the Ford Ecosport and even Toyota's own C-HR sell quite well here
Every time I see another Venue I ask the same question. I expect we will get them when Toyota's production in Japan and Europe fully ramps up.
Very informative review. This may kill-off the Yaris Hatch though !
Not at this price
Great looking wee car and great fuel economy
You really need better gimbals/stabilization for your cameras.
I want its front wheel drive
Hello, any good samaritan who can buy me this car without anything in return?
Thanking you in advance...
Launchig date in india
Sonet?
Iike this car
We only get hybrid models in AWD and FWD. No petrol only.
The Hyundai Venue is $8000 cheaper for the base model. I don't think the Yaris Cross is priced correctly for its segment.
Guys, I thought I would get some genuine reviews. My wife and I have been looking for a small SUV. We test drove:- Mazda CX3, Mazda CX30, Mitsubishi ASX, Hyundia Kona, Kia Seltos, VW T-Cross, Skoda Kamiq, and a Toyota Yaris Hybrid, RRP approx $35k. I got as far as around the block from the dealership in Sydney. The car was gutless, noisy, vibration in the steering, steering just vague, interior with lots of empty cheap plastic empty places for switches, hard plastic everywhere, uncomfortable seats. SHOCKING. For $35. This is a car for $16,999. and even then, I would not buy it. Little wonder that Korean cars were able to penetrate the market.
So what did you buy?
Would love to know what u ended up buying cause was looking at the same cars u mentioned
WHAT vehicle did You purchase PLEASE Louis ?
(did you test drive the Suzuki Vitara??)
WHAT car Please?
Thank You.
I bought the Peugeot 2008. No regrets
@@drfruc
Congrats !
Toyota seem to forget that kids travelling in the rear seat normally use tablets... so where are the charge points?
Is it AWD?
my Dad did a test drive and didn't like the road noise. the styling looks good on the interior, but then theres lack of space. no centre console only cup holders.
Very easy to scratch interior plastic trim, our brand new demo had many scratches on its interior.
This car like many others these days is nothing more than a PCP deal fashion car to keep the industry ticking over. A car designed to be traded in after two years so the 20 year old woman still living at home can get another silly pretentious fashion car. We have a silly segment that never used to exist, with a myriad of makes and models calling themselves Crossovers or SUVs to appeal to fashion conscious buyers. People used to keep cars for many years, traditional hatchbacks, saloons and estates but the industry relies on people changing their cars often, so by producing trendy looking cars with designs that go out of fashion quickly, it generates a greater number of sales.
@@gregandkaruna6674 ive never scratched any interior trim on any of my cars. Dont you look what youre doing ?
@@oddities-whatnot Hey genius read my comment correctly! I said the car we test drove had scratches on it's cheap hard plastics! And get over it that comment was said ages ago!
Just watched the CarWow review the UK top spec Yaris Cross..They get a full digital dash, soft(er) touch dashboard, front armrest, front fog lights and much better looking automatic gear selector (same as the Rav 4). Shame Toyota Australia..lost my order.
I like to know 3 doors Yaris with every things on. ( options and packages) how I am going to find out your answers?
Also I here gas mileage is 69 mpg on hybrid?
Yes, why you don’t answer the question. Either you know or not. But it’s nice to get reply.
That shifter look like it came from a 1993 Toyota Corona
the regular Yaris' shifter has a leather boot as well lol
Same old gear, look at Hyundai (ain't bias)
Is the 216 hp version available in this model?
No
มีโอกาศจะเข้าไทยไหม
How much
Cant wai to buy it in 10 years
I'd consider it non-hybrid, non-turbo 1.5 liter, 6 speed manual w/ a/c however a similar, regular Yaris is already overpriced...
Just to clarify. Which 'sub' model would you recommend?
Will it be available in india,?, when and at
What price?pl send a message,reply.
Will prove popular I’m sure.
Where's the GR mate ??
So waow
Is this car in the states?
How much cm from ground?
16
Too expensive for that price. I would spend little more to buy RAV 4.
Yes I agree we bought the rav 4 hybrid top spec and it’s worth it because it bigger and spacious because it’s a family car.
@@pokee2194 exactly you got to the point.
Nah its super cheap only AU$42900 drive away for the top spec AWD hybrid with two tone colour even the cheapest non hybrid in black is AU$30,500 drive away! lol I am joking it's stupid high price!
Too expensive.. I would not buy any Japanese cars for that matter.
@@3811eric You like more unreliable cars instead?
What is the alternative for a mini SUV in the same size ? Regards
Mazda 2 and the polo cross
Is this replacing the c-hr
No
Cool
This car has already made the Yaris obsolete. Most people want SUVs anyways, and would be happy to pay the extra few thousand to get the Yaris Cross.
Most people who buy SUVs are self obsessed prats. They get one so they can try and show off to their work colleagues and neighbours by telling them “Look at me, im special, I drive an SUV”. In reality its a pumped up hatchback, not a fecking Range Rover. How embarrasing. People are so full of themselves these days. All sucked in by clever marketing trends. LOL
You should make a comparison with the Honda Jazz Cross
They don't sell that in Australia, but that looks more like just plastic cladding than the Yaris Cross, which at least has more ground clearance and actually looks like an SUV.
Interior look poor
With the cross not as nice to drive as the hatch, less fuel efficient and an extra $5k, I'm glad I ordered the hatch. I find it interesting that you say this is better value, but other than being a slightly roomier car with more luggage space, I'm not seeing the value if you don't need that extra space...
Only thing I do not like about the Yaris is the manual hand brake so no stop and go adaptive cruise control :-(
There is an overdose of SUVs in the market
Yeah. What WILL bring people who buy SUV's & Big Utes down to 'the ground' is a dose of reality - longer term.
A segment designed to generate more sales by aiming cars at fashion conscious buyers. Car makers have latched onto the current trend simply by bringing out jacked up hatchbacks with plastic cladding and calling them SUVs or Crossovers. SUVs that are mainly FWD and would get stuck on wet leaves and Crossovers ? What ? Crossing over into what exactly ? Its all clever marketing bullshit for millennials. They lap it up.
Very nice car. Should sell in Laos
Tom is a Automobile engineer????
I don't like the interior 😕
sounds loud inside
The Kia stonic is the Rio but thicc
My dream car❤️
Oh dear.
OMG 18 inch wheels come standard on a Yaris? Only bout 10 years ago Those compacts used to wear 13 inch wheels.
try 10" wheels on a Mini :-)
It's no smaller than some of the cars being sold now. That was the excuse Toyota gave for not bringing this over to the Americas because it's only sold in Europe and Japan.
saw 1 today i thought it was a rav4 at first
Nice car. Should sell in Laos
Gotta love technology. I hope this comes to the United States.
If I wanted a suv I would be tempted to buy a car from the 1960s or 1970s and pay some one to restore it because a car from that era would have the same ground clearance if not more.
TBH if I wanted an SUV id get an old Subaru
@@oddities-whatnot yes I prefer the older Subarus also.
Idk why Toyota still has so many button on the entertainment system
The states wants Yaris GR
Hope Toyota brings this to US. I’d rather own this over the Corolla Cross which looks like a boring shrunken RAV4. Or bring the hybrid CHR to the states. There is way too many boring looking SUVs out there. This actually reminds me of the old Scion XB.
the hybrid 2wd drives soooo much better than the hybrid awd.
awd 0-100 = 13sec
2wd 0-100 = 9.8 sec
the awd felt like it is constantly struggling and the electric engine was never running alone always needing petrol assistance. The 3cyl also shudders off the line as it's not a balanced engine and has to rev to get any power out of it.
The brown interior actually looks okay in the flesh, the worst part of the interior is the centre console just seems like an after thought. No middle arm rest due to their is airbags between the two front passengers.
Best colour choice, white with black roof in urban trim. Looks like a mini Jaguar E-Pace from the front
I think you will be on your own with that puke interior and it is so easy to scratch our test demo car showed all the scratches especially around where the phone sits
Better off with a Prius.
Probably better off buying a base rav4 than a top spec Yaris cross
I want this in the US SOOOO BADLY
We will get it in EU 😊
I want Toyota Yaris Cross i India ... Please
Waiting in India
Woow awesome review
I Want Toyota Yaris Cross in India ... Please
The brown trim on that particular car is awful. The rest is nice. I hope that it will have a moon roof or a sun roof. I have the CH-R which is superb in every way except no sunroof or auto tailgate lift.
So true love my chr
