- The Toyota Yaris Cross might seem like a mild mannered cross over but under the hood it's way more complicated than you might think. But is the total package any good?

Don't tell me I'm wrong. I didnt even say anything.
There, you're wrong
Me too
You're not wrong but your attitude stinks.
Yes you are right mate
you just said something now. if you werent wrong before, you are now
I have had this car for 3months and I love it. I thought it would be too small and it is perfect. I am 5’8, I sit comfortably. It is actually pretty fast, well planted on the highway, feels like a bigger car when on highway. And the engine isn’t as loud as they make it sound.
My Parents have one, and only after I sold them on it (they didn't originally like it) after spending a week in a demo, it's a Brilliant car!
So you bullied your parents into getting a car that you want people to drive. That is very common occurrence in the modern world. Did you make them wear masks as well.
@@bighands69yes coz mask saves lives.
Looks rather sharp. If you're after something reliable, reasonably small, affordable and practical for its size its got it all.
Those arches are horrendous
@@jameshogg601 Agreed. Once you see them... they're hard to forget !
Why not just buy a Corolla? More practical and drives better
@@rdmz135 Do you mean the Corolla Cross? Sorry I’m in Japan, test drove all of them. The Yaris Cross is the nicest to look at but the Corolla Cross yes is very good to drive. Still REAKS of Corolla interior though. lol
Doesn't have a spare wheel in that spec. Doesn't have much go on the open road, although its ok round town. Oh, it does have a crap interior.
Thank you for giving the CVT a fair chance. It gets a bad wrap when it does have valuable use cases in town cars.
Agreed. CVT is fine as long as you're not using it for speed in which is not it's intended use
Honestly, I think Nissan is the one that ruined the CVT name. I was fortunate enough to have My Nissan last over 10 years before trading it in and not gonna lie. I beat the crap out of that thing I didn’t give a damn every single greenlight. I just stomped that gas pedal to the floor.
From what I understand Toyotas CVT are far superior and they’re Nissan CVT’s way more reliable because they have a first gear
I have one of these in black - steering feel is actually quite nice. Coming from an Abarth Spider, it handles quite well for it's purpose. Lovely and quiet (unless you floor it of course) - makes you very relaxed driving this. Can easily get 70mpg on a mixed route.
I actually really like the looks. I just wish they'd offer a manual AWD.
I think you're looking for the Fiat Panda 4x4 Cross Hybrid.
@@CaptainHoratioPugwash Fix It Again Tony!
For something like this, with its hybrid system, a manual will be too much to ask for. However a proper AWD system will be just awesome, would love to take one for light off roading.
@@bunface well, the awd in this car is actually quite "proper", since the electric motors go to the back wheel-hubs and act as a "perfect" center and rear differential. The performance of the awd should be really good on this car..
They do offer an awd system at least.
I've had my 2023 Yaris Cross GXL AWD hybrid for 3 months. That's the mid range model here in Australia. I have been averaging 3.3 litres per 100km in that time driving in 50% peak hour traffic in Sydney and 50% on a motorway. That's better than 100mpg and so I pay for the petrol on rare occasions and get the electricity for free. I find it super comfy and the handling and drive feel/responsiveness is excellent. I find the build and materials to be excellent too. The safety features are great but I turn off the lane assist as I feel like it might interfere with minimising rolling resistance now and again and that's all important in a hybrid. The CVT gearbox is quiet and as described here, it is snappy when you put your foot down but if you drive for economy and learn how to make use of rolling resistance and 'pulsing' and 'floating' and 'rolling' to keep the regen up, it's a lot of fun and very relaxing. I find that I get the most economy out of this car by driving in normal mode, as this manages the rolling resistance - regen balance best. I adore this car and can't believe anyone would purchase any other car in this class. In the Aussie model we have to plug our phone in for Apple Carplay (and whatever the Android thing is) and that and the lack of a spare tyre are the only drawbacks. Forget the nonsense criticism about rear doors which 'don't open wide enough', very, very few who need to put a baby seat in a car will be looking at a car this size. They should go for the Corolla Cross hybrid. Oh yeah, I bought a new spare wheel for when I take it over the ranges into the outback, where, being an AWD it can handle almost any road Australia has to offer. It's smart and efficient in the city and does what I want it to do in the bush and looks good doing it.
it's been 2 months since inşallah bought mine. my average is 4,9 L/100 KM. Thanks for your detailed comment.
Thanks for this. Great level of detail
You might have just helped me make my mind up and get one 🙌
And its a Toyota !
Most of Yaris Cross reviews compares it to Ford Puma or VW Troc especially in terms of speed, pickup, sporty driving and so on, but Puma is only mild hybrid not full and Troc isn’t electrified at all… and that’s a matter also taking about price… I don’t think they can be put exactly at the same level
I know, it's ludicrous to think that the sort of people buying this are bothered that a Puma can go round bends at 10mph faster without rolling over!
Toyota knows it won't be used much outside a city.
Toyota makes it look like a small SUV and gives it a Cross name.
Nonsense!
That's marketing and the regular average car buyer for you. Market the car as something for people with active lifestyles who go on adventures to mountains and beaches and forests. The car will be bought by people with 1,8 kids and it'll be used for grocery shopping and dropping kids off at school. SUVs are the most stupid class of cars currently being made and ppl who buy them are gullible idiots and victims of marketing. Nobody needs an SUV. There's a better, cheaper and more efficient car for every need people might have. Hatchback, sedan, wagon, lifted off-roady wagon, off-roader, sports car. Those cover everyone's needs except vanity and desire to be just like everyone else: stupid.
Have used one of these in lots of situations in Japan: city, country, beach, mountains. Great car.
Oh the indignation!
Get a life.
You know the regular Yaris exists right
But that is what the civil service class who read the guardian have achieved. They do not want working class people driving cars.
They probably think working class people are dangerous in cars and are not of the proper cultural level to live such an independent life. That means their semi rural communities can now be truly insulated from the working class council estate scum that they will mock as chavs/racists and brexiteers.
Really cool looking, another winner for Toyota.
Very nice and smart format 👍
It would be also nice a GR AWD "mo powa!" version.
Great video and actually a neat little car for a lot of people.
The new London cabs basically do this too, but better! They can be plugged in, but they also have a petrol engine, but the petrol engine never directly drives the wheels. It’s just there to turn petrol into electricity that it stores in the batteries and uses to move itself around. So it too is very efficient.
Turn spinny bang bang into sparky magic before turning it back into spinny spinny rolly rolly? Sounds like efficient.
Toyota plugin hybrid also does the same, plus it doesn’t have a real gearbox, it’s just two motors and set of planetary gears and rear electric motor on the phev
@@DlStreamnet it is! Especially when you can plug it in to make sparky magic, you might never need spin bang bang at all depending on how much you drive!
It is all a load of nonsense being pushed by a carbon cult.
Having any kind of vehicle that you can plug in will not be suitable for many millions of people who live in terraced properties and high rise tower blocks etc. You need either a garage or at least a driveway. otherwise you cannot legally get the power to the vehicle. If you lived in a terraced house and your car is parked outside you cannot have a cable across the pavement, it would be a trip hazard.
Loving the brew watch 👌👌👌
Is the filming location near Cheddar Gorge by any chance? Such a hidden gem that place is!
It is cheddar gorge.
Haha. How do you define hidden?
"The Yaris Cross probably isn't going to be driven that much outside of town"
Yaris Cross, you say......cross?
They only thing this will cross is the kerb on to the footpath to park preventing moms with buggies and wheel chairs users from passing.
@@thecraigmachine69 That's not really true, it's been tested in bumpy offroads and muddy hills and rainy forests and it performed quite great for what it is. Look it up
But not a CVT with cone pulleys and belts. It has a Power Split device to share or combine engine and motor - seamlessly.
Only Carfection can make a review on a car like this absolutely watchable. Great stuff.
Extremely pleasant like all Toyota hybrids, looks interesting too. Let’s go for it.
It is a premium luxury car and not for the everyday working class person.
Indeed and the reliability as well My wife has a 2014 Yaris hybrid and it has never had a fault. Just tyres, one exhaust couple of bulbs etc. Plus when you have it serviced by Toyota they give you a new one year warranty on the hybrid battery whatever its age.
It's an enjoyable drive - 3cyl sounds ok, decent mid-range torque, nice compliant ride and it grips well. I test drove one recently and out of several cars including EV6 and Ioniq5 I had most fun in this.
More then ev6???? It has around 400 bhp how come this Yaris is better for you ?
998k - it's getting there :o)
I don't hate this car - there is a place for it and I'm sure many people, who do not share 'for the thrill of driving', will like it also. It's also a little refreshing amongst the current trend for restomods and the regular exoticar to see an ordinary car review of a good car, like the Duster. Did make me think though: based on a Yaris. ISTR Rav4's being about this size at some time...
The Yaris Cross reminds me of a 1970's Ami 6/8 (from the front)
One issue with this car is the EV (Electric) side of the transmission will only function when the car is up to normal operating temperature.
However I used to drive a 1 litre VW T-ROC and that cost me £70 per week in fuel, this car costs me £40, Happy days.
This car is awesome i love it
JC how far can the car go on just the battery???????
My problem is the Yaris Cross (in a lot of markets at least) costs more than competitors two classes above...
Yup. Saw one where i live, looks brilliant but was 27 000 euros...
@@milosilic23 Toyota's have 10 year guarantee. Factor that in, vs the puny 2 year guarantee most American + European brands give.
that looks like a really nice road for a drive.
My Blade (jdm) has CVT and 4wd. Never let me down.
Congrats 1 milion subcribe
After all the content and reviews of awesome exotica, could this, the review of the mighty Yaris Cross, take Carfection to 1million subs?? 😜
1 million subs achieved!! Big up the Yaris Cross 🤘🤖
My favourite dream car for 2022/2023. Any delivery to Mars?
Honestly, I get all my kicks from a motorcycle these days, so this is actually a pretty great daily driver.
They need to do a two door commercial version. Lots of companies don't have overnight storage for their delivery vehicles so drivers take them home. Lots of drivers don't have charging for electric vehicle at home so they're no use. There's a gap in the market. Knock a bit off the price for not having to fit rear seats, windows etc. & I reckon they could sell loads.
Good suggestion i agree, anything to get those huge transit size vehicles off domestic streets would be a blessing. With all the commercial vehicles plus huge suv’s parking is horrendous….try living in terraced streets
Surely it's in line with the T Cross and Captur not T Roc and Puma?
why does prius c get less mpg than this small suv? and prius only gets 5-8 more mpg?
Such a good presenter 👍
You've kinda sold me on this
Cool video and this looks good being a Toyota
I just got my New Yaris cross two weeks ago! I would say it is really below my exceptions, there is rattling noise when driving around 50k/h!
Take it back and let them sort it out.. or maybe it's so quiet your sunglasses in the cupholders rattle instead of the car?
It's normal for this car. blame the 3 cylinder engine. It buzzes whenever the engine kicks in and worse when you floor it
Nice watch Alex - what is it?
Alex love the watch!
Alex could talk about rocks for 2 hours and I would be glued to my chair with excitement.
Get out more
Where is this filmed? I’ve seen this place loads but never found out, I want to go there. Thanks
Pretty sure it’s Cheddar Gorge. Well worth a visit. There is a nice hike up one side of the gorge and down the other. You could probably walk it in an hour and a half but allow for 2. The cave is worth a visit but Wookey Hole is better. It’s not a driving road because there are a lot of cars slow rolling looking at the scenery and trying to park. I think it is pretty busy peak season. Bristol, Glastonbury, Wells all nearby. Actually I also liked doing a circular walk on Brent Knoll. I should write a guide book!
@@frogsplorer useful info thanks! Was planning on having a drive but think I’ll go for a wander about instead
Burrington Combe and Chedder Gorge. Both close by. Burrngton is actually the better drivers road up onto the Mendip Hills.
Everything you say about this car is applicable to you, unexciting but doing the job.
That's an attractive little car!
If it pulled from both ends, its doesn't does it! it would be a good replacement for a Panda 4x4 to bounce around the countryside. looks good.
You can have a 4WD version
It can there is a 4WD version
Absolutely brilliant entertaining review 😂🙏
Your energy, pauses and “irony” is ace 🥇
- with the current energy crisis this makes huge sense and if not get the Yaris GR or get a Puma ST or the Korean mad crossover suv.
No it does not make sense, no small SUVs ever do. Get a Yaris
And you can't even buy a GR anymore
@@yaboiyosef7640 No you properly would have to get lucky for used one.
@@Goodman-4525 I will in fact agree to that statement, SUVs are not needed for 95% of the time.
Wish I could get this in Canada!
Ok we are always going to get the anti Toyota review’s ! I picked my Yaris Cross Excel on the 1st of march and after 46 years of driving this car is one of the best cars that I have owned ‘ the 72 MPG is great ? It seemed to be getting low on fuel the other day you can imagine my surprise at nearly filling the tank with just 20 quid
And before you tell me about the size of the tank it came up on the screen 280 genuine miles to go
Ok when we get through all the crappy Hybrid cars being knocked out’ by the automobile also rans ‘the Toyota reliability will shine through watch this space
As the UK just doesn’t have the Infrastructure for all Electric vehicles yet FACT”
And as for the guy who gave this review It sounds just like that he wants to drive a big Vroom Vroom 🤷🏼♂️
Get some time in feller and then you try and tell your Granny 👵🏼 how to suck eggs
I never understand petrolheads' obsession with the sound the doors make when they close or what percent of the plastic makes a scratchy sound and I congratulate you for largely ignoring that and understanding this is for former boy racers, like me, now in their 70's who did the Mini Cooper 'S' in the sixties and now just want a quiet, comfortable easy drive! Good review because you understand what you are reviewing. Never seen a person in their 70's reviewing a Ferrari and saying it is too low, too bumpy and goes much too fast when you press the accelerator. 😅
Right with your comments, Cooper s in the sixties seventies everywhere flat out ! Your age now slowing down ,saving money and this ticks the boxes for me as well!
it's a good-looking little car. Pity about the CVT.
Reviewer is WRONG about the CVT. Yaris (and Cross) 2021-present are e-CVT and don't have the weirdness of belt & cone CVT.
I see you have 6 likes after 10 days, so this must be a concern for others which this parrot has reinforced, rather than cleared up. Most serious reviewers can't notice it -- they only comment on it because they've read the "CVT" from "e-CVT" and assume it is comparable and will turn people off.
As for "Only your Nana would look at this", well, he's obviously batting for the competition.
ps - I own one, he doesn't.
Are they sold in the US? Havent seen any at local Toyota dealers! secondly, can we get one with the stearing on the left side? for the US. All the adds iv seen, have europe right side. its in compatition with the Honda fit cross! I would like to compare prices between the two, compare the test drive, Both companies build reliable cars! For 2023 TOYOTA NOW OFFERS A hIBRED cAROLLA! BUT THE MPG is less because the car is larger!
The RAV4 uses a planetary gear CVT, which has much higher reliability than belt types. Which type is the YarisCROSS using?
All the current Toyota hybrids use planetary gears for the transmission - continuously variable gear ratio between the engine and the output, and fixed ratio between the traction motor and the output shaft. It’s controlled electronically, hence the term eCVT. I’m used to one in an older Yaris hybrid.
After my very bad experience with a Nissan X-Trail CVT, i ain't going anywhere close to any vehicle with that type of transmission whether its the planetary or belt type.
It’s beautiful ❤
That is basically exactly what I expected, I guess the title isn't aimed at me specifically.
Man this thing seems to be everywhere right now, along side the new ford kuga.
To be honest, I quite like the look of this Yaris Cross 😃👌. I would pick it over something like a Juke 👍
Juke is the worst looking car in the world. It's hardly a complement for this Yaris
The Nissan Puke...also people with bad taste must be served!
Enjoying that Brew Metric on your wrist!
Looking for a comparison review with the new (23) Honda Jazz Crosstar. No one seems to compare these two. Opp for a new vid??? :)
Where was this filmed? Its beautiful!
Looks like Cheddar Gorge to me.
@@-DC- sure does, thanks!
Is it a CVT or e CVT?
Out of curiosity anyone know where that road is ? Looks a relaxing car to drive.
Cheddar Gorge
Actually rather interesting
The cheap plasticky bits can be considered an upside though, if it's used for for the school run
Remember a car is no good if it has scratchy plastics and the doors don't make the right sound when they close. Clearly never had a sixties minivan with a hardboard dashboard and you were just glad if the door didn't fall off when you shut it. Scratchy plastics my arse!🤣
My first hybrid was the RAV4. I'm downsizing to the Yaris and it seems like the Yaris Cross will just be the RAVS younger brother...
Nice scenery . That’s it
Isn't it just a depowered Rav4? But seriously, it was a good review, beautiful scenery, nice camera work and filled with dry wit.
I disagreed with your eye rolling until you mentioned the price... Decent little car, but what a price!!! I even wondered if the performance was dangerously slow for getting out of junctions, but you answered that saying it's pretty quick off the line with the electric motor. For what it is there's not a lot to dislike, but the price. I was going to say you'd have to save a lot of petrol to be worthwhile buying this, but then I realised I've just spend the most ever filling my car the other night... Yeah, your review was more informative and educational than I expected it would be. ;-)
Over the life of the vehicle, this could well be the cheaper option. 15 or more years of nothing breaking; never being inconvenienced by time off the road. That's been my 24-year experience of owning aging Toyotas.
I'd never own a European car without also having a Toyota in the driveway.
@@numbereightyseven I've looked at them but never got a chance to buy, the ducks just didn't align. I have, however, ran a Subaru Impreza WRX and it was superb. Bought new and over my five year ownership I only had problems with ball joints on anti-roll bars that were replaced under warranty (they were making a noise on bumps). Frustrating that the hatchback that replaced it wasn't good enough to buy, which led me to a BMW which spent so much time at the dealership the service manager friended me on Facebook!
@@numbereightyseven Adding to that, the hybrid has far fewer moving parts (the difference is in the thousands). Service interval of 12 months is nice.
Another issue some people have is potential battery replacement cost. Toyota's warranty is very generous but, even if you had to replace it after 10 years, the savings in other areas would more than cover it. As a low mileage user, myself, I've seen recommendations that an HEV is not for me. Give it a run for an hour every month to charge the battery and it'll be fine; even then, the warranty is likely to cover most problems.
@@johnsim3722
Like all hybrid and electric cars they are for wealthy people and not for the working class. When cars go fully electric/hybrid it will mean that ordinary working people will not be able to have a car. This will further push people into the cities causing more problems. Those with the money will be able to live in their semi rural communities pretending they are in the countryside while their favorite waitrose and starbucks is within a 5 minute drive. And they will not have to deal with poor people as they will not be able to travel to where they live.
@@bighands69 I roll my eyes when someone says "working class", it's a simple form of jealousy over those who earn more. Whoever you are, no matter the amount, if you're working to earn a wage you're working class. It covers practically everybody.
As for your point, I think you meant it's only for those on a higher wage. Lower earners will struggle to afford to buy. And in that respect, right now, you're right. What we need is a step change in battery technology. Once it can store ten times what it can now, reducing battery needs by 90%, that will make a huge different to the affordability of EVs.
1.5lt turbo with only 114 hp, why does it need a turbo then?
also, it makes a weird noise, is it the electric motor, or the electric charger?
Turbo? I don't think there is one, I've just checked the specs in toyota website. My 1.6 Subaru turbo has 170hp. On my Subaru turbo is mostly there for torque, not hp. This yaris has naturally aspirated motor performance.
"Ma! Ma! Those supercar review guys made an episode for you."
i like the front of that better, than the bulldog appeal front of the corolla cross
You not told others about (B) mode when you go down hills it gives you a full battery and you don't have to use the brakes as much it's saves your brakes pads and fuel
The man that gives sugar to the videos 🔥💪🏼💯
I don't like sugar !
It should be interesting as Toyota roll out their solid state batteries in their hybrid models. Lighter weight, faster charging, longer range and less combustible.
I have a cross and CVT is fine.
The lines remind me of a Scion TC.
My daily is a GR Yaris. Totally different beast, but there is a huge market for this sort of thing. Impressive engineering...
The only market for it is with guardian readers who will want to force such things on everybody.
@@bighands69 nah, most motorists these days don't want or need cars homologated for rallying, they want something that is a cheap, practical runaround that will work for years. I happen to have a homologation special that defies laws of physics, but back seats fold totally flat to accommodate big loads and kids kit in the back when they're up. Oh yes, and ten year warranty you suspect you're not going to need...
@@portland573
You are proving my point. It is not cheap at £28000. Only a typical Guardian reader could afford one on their civil service management salaries.
@@bighands69 here's the news. There are no longer cheap reliable new cars. If you're on a low wage, no-one has made cars aimed at you for yonks. Closest to true budget that won't fall to bits in a few months is Dacia. The market for this "buy one last petrol car on finance or loan to last 20+ years" is enormous. Dacias are great for the cash, but there's a massive leap in price to the next tier up. If you want to roll the dice on a PSA built hunk, good luck with that. More folk want something new or nearly new that has done some depreciation already, but will not be a "Friday car"
Renault Mk2 Clio 1.2 16v was probably the last genuine bargain small family car (could argue for Corsa of that era too) You're effectively looking at 20k for one new now. Similar for Corsa.
People will pay more for a more reliable car. In recent years, Toyota have raised the stakes. You don't throw 5 and 10 year warranties around if you expect to pay out on them.
@@portland573
Somebody who is on an industrial wage in the UK year could not afford a £28000 small car.
You can try and claim that this is normal but it is going to be a nightmare for the working class in trying to afford things as basic as a small car. The fact this has to be argued is beyond belief.
You are just proving my point.
Going to Cheddar Gorge in a Cheddar coloured car 👍🏽
I thought this was the funniest review ever! It is hilarious! Nice one.🤣🤣🤣
Just a pity that Toyota UK is not selling the Excell in this colour for the foreseeable future, as they say, they have "run out of stock". Hopefully, when I'm ready to buy in mid '23 they will have bought some more paint.
No! No more paint. Now all silver, grey, black, white or red. Take your pick or bugga off as my local Toyota dealer would say while smiling and shaking your hand at the same time.
All I think is that I really like the looks and that toyota has a reputation for being very reliable and that a hybrid should be good for fuel efficiency
I can't be wrong about these can I? Well looks is subjective but you know
Hybrids have been functioning like that for what, twenty years, now?
No mate... It's a Toyota Hybrid. Please don't compare that to regular mediocre Hybrids. Toyota really knows it's stuff. They don't break, they are almost always more fuel efficient and yes it has a CVT..but of you learn how to drive that properly and not like an oaf with clogs on it's actually really good, quiet and swift. Just have to get rid of the right foot to the floor defect most of us have made to be normal behaviour. (And yes I'm a petrolhead with a rwd manual, inefficient fun car in the garage)
U kill me bro.... Just petroling around! 😂😂😂. I have a black petrol non-hybrid.... It's sweeet! Only issue I have is that it's very bumpy...but I can live w that.
Manual on this . GR version . Sweet .
Nice watch.
I was watching a video on an offroad bike with similar power figures and half the price... and it was Italian! ;)
Most Italians will not be able to afford one just like most Italians who cannot afford to buy a house.
Alex dressed like a Subaru owner for the review😅
The only Yaris I care about is the one that wears a GR-Four badge on the back.
Informative, many details but considering it has offroad capabilities but no offroad driving is shown it is also inept.
Great 2nd car
You can only compare against Renault capture, Hyundai Kona, Honda HRV, & Kia Niro, they are all self charging Hybrid. The Ford Puma & the like are mild Hybrid. Completely different. If you are going to do car reviews, then do your home work first.
So sad this isn’t in the US
For added clicks, you could have written "Your wrong". I'd have clicked, enraged, and then been distracted by the quality entertainment.
Congratulations on getting to 1M subscribers. Equal parts impressive and deserving!
Over-eager :p
I sat in it. Too much 'plastic'feel and narrow behind. Waiting for the Corolla Cross in Europe, that's the one to buy!
Okay, keep waiting then. Your curry will get cold.
How did you guys manage to make a tiny SUV look so massive lol (and also why are you making it look massive)
It's not that small. It's considerably bigger than a Yaris. If you are tall it's a lot better than a RAV4. I hit the roof in a RAV4 and the smaller crossover (HR?). I can sit in the Yaris Cross in comfort.
What about some metric numbers for your overseas viewers?
But what is the EV only range ?
Hard to say because it's not an EV vehicle - it's a hybrid. But can often go a mile or so if you don't put your foot down and more if it is down hill all the way. But then most cars don't use petrol when they coast downhill! O course this is more a "what percentage of the time does it use EV assist" question and given the petrol engine size nd this can average 70mpg I would suggest about 50% of the time and of course much more in slow traffic when it murders petrol cars.
Please tell me this bad boy is coming to North America too. I need to get a really cute nice quality car for my daughter.
