✅ 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗟𝗼𝗰𝗼 : leaselo.co/notaguru-toyota-ya...
Welcome to my review of the brilliant 2023 Toyota Yaris Cross Design.
Although this is a head rather than heart car, it does much to endear itself to the driver and is capable of truly amazing MPG figures. Despite being a little pricier than some of its competitors, this Yaris Cross is one of the best compact SUVs on the market.
Find out more about the Toyota Yaris Cross in this very honest car review from Jim Starling (Definitely Not A Guru).

Had my Yaris Cross just over one year and 11,000 miles I can confirm everything you have covered in your excellent U-Tube review of the Yaris Cross. If anyone is considering buying this B segment SUV I would totally recommend this fantastic Toyota Yaris Cross. Thank you for the great review, well done🤗
Thanks Alan!
It’s getting tougher for the ‘old school’ top brands. I hope Toyota keeps it’s faithful following… they are bloody good cars.
They are that 👍
We got our brand new one just over a week ago after waiting 4 months but absolutely worth the wait. Having flirted with Vauxhall I am now firmly back in the arms of my Toyota Yaris (my first love and new car) who has grown into a Yaris Cross and I am there for keeps! Well done Toyota! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Glad you like it Dean 👍
Great review. Cheers!
Much appreciated!
First timer to your channel. Great quick review. I fully agree with you on flat floors. I'm in mk7 golf and love the deep floor to stop things rolling out. Thinking of changing to Toyota as wife's rav4 has amazing fuel economy for size of vehicle though I do prefer seats on vw. In Ireland with our double tax on new cars it's near 30k euro plus for yaris cross entry model. As someone looking up reviews for cars things I look for are seat comfort adjustment, infotainment sound quality, mpg figures, boot space, road noise in cabin. Toyota have better customer support than most. I persuaded my Aunt out of diesel saloon to the yaris cross and she loves it.
Thanks Gareth, come back again soon 👍
Good review ….I used to be a bit of a speed freak but since moving from Turbo Diesel’s to a mk 4 Prius and now a Yaris Cross for company car tax savings these Toyota hybrids are just so good at practical motoring. Super easy and chilled out to drive and great reliability and running costs. A lot of typical car reviewers just don’t seem to get it but with potholes, traffic and speed cameras everywhere they make a lot of sense.
I agree Mike 👍
Thanks for the revue.
Thanks for watching
Hello mate great review, pleased my misses no end ,because we just picked our scorched orange gr sport on Tuesday, and we are loving it. The only disappointment is the GR range doesn't come with a power tailgate, which we were used to on our ford kuga we just sold, although I offered to pay extra, apart from that it's great car, thanks again Paul and Di.
Nice one, powered tailgates can also be a pain in the bum so don’t sweat it and enjoy the new ride 👍
Very helpful thanks
Glad it helped
Another great review, thanks Jim. Those brilliant economy numbers make it even harder to choose an EV, especially as no sign of the government upping its game on the charging infrastructure!
👍👍
Like to say great review, both you and many of the comments reflect the comments that I would use. I have now had my Yaris Cross for over a year, I do have all wheel drive, but here in Australia especially where I live reliability is paramount, have driven up around the snowiest on unsealed roads and found it shore footed and exciting to drive with a bit of slide when driving a little faster than I should, as for the rough road it is a bit more comfortable than a lot of others I have driven on the same roads, as for highway driving have done trips of over 300 Klm in one run of Highway stick it in cruise control and it just purrs along with ease , have just got back from a 900 klm run no stiff joints or sore back from sitting for 5 to 6 hours at the wheel, just looking forward to go again.
It’s a great car 👍
Excellent review 👏
Thank you! 👍
👍👍👍Thank you Jim
Thanks Pete
Thanks. I own a 2019 corolla touring sports hybrid in executive trim with the 2.0 dynamic force engine. Very economical, quick and refined ride.
Nice car 👍
Great review - thanks. I’ve got one on order - I’m really excited to get it but it’s now taken over 12 months to arrive though! Annoying as my current C-HR came in less than a month! 😞
It’s so frustrating isn’t it, supply chain issues have be a nightmare for so many. I think you’ll love your new car when it does finally arrive!
Quality vid Jim 🤙🏻 I’ve got a 4 year lease & 1 year in, I drive the dynamic with safety pack, JBL & pan roof. It comes with auto park, black 18’s & silver paint with black roof & it looks nice. The most I’ve got & shoes on the app, was a mega 124mpg & it’s always around 70+ mpg on a daily run to work, which is 12 miles there & back. It is a little skippy over ruff roads & the door cards are like stone with a lick of cloth. I’ve had performance cars over the years, so even in power mode, it doesn’t set you alight, but it’s an overall good drive & a nice higher seating position is nice. It’s defo worth a test drive & I pay £336 pm, that’s now very cheap for what I’ve seen (hope it’s ok to put that price?) Keep up the good reviews 😁🤙🏻
Yeah it’s a great car Marc, it went back a couple of days ago and I actually miss it. The MPG is the big headline but, as you say, it’s nice to drive and very easy to live with. Great choice 👍

I’m
Great review, thank you. We're buying a 2nd hand car dealership Yaris Cross next week. I look forward to the frugal fuel usage! Thanks again for such a well-balanced and helpful review 😀
Great car!
I have a Yaris cross on order, I drive a ford puma atm, great car but plagued with annoying problems, mines only three years old and it’s had a new engine from ford, I’m switching to Toyota for , hopefully, the legendary build quality and reliability, nice to see an honest review of the car that’s not too focused on 0-60 times
0-60 is extremely relevant when you're reviewing some cars, fairly irrelevant with others 👍
Just ordered my 2024 Yaris Cross Design today. Can't wait for it to arrive😁😁😁
Great car
I’ve got the Honda HRV and the best I’ve got is 71mpg. I love it.
I got slightly better MPG in the Jazz vs the HRV both both are crazy good. My best single trip in the Yaris Cross was 6 miles - 76 MPG 😂
If I was in the market for a small SUV I would probably have this. The Toyota hybrid systems are excellent especially in urban driving when they run silently. They are well proven too and stand up to big mileages. BTW mate the VW T-Cross would be a rival rather than the T-Roc which is a bigger Golf based SUV.
Yes, realised that during the edit 😁
Great Video Jim - did you ever see that Rainbow video with Zippy in the Yaris lol 😂
No?
@@DefinitelyNotAGuru ha ha ha ha
I'll look it up
@@DefinitelyNotAGuru it’s called rude rainbow 🌈 👍😃😂😂😂
@@DefinitelyNotAGuru sorry - Zippy and George does Top Gear
Love the down to earth review style - great little car for out and about around cities!
Thanks Shaun, yes, very decent car 👍
You should tell all the other youtube car reviewers about the boot lip! One of them made a comment then everyone of them just lazily repeat the same comment every time! My car has no boot lip and some of my shopping rolled out of the boot just yesterday. Even my wife was saying how wrong are the car reviewers! Thank you!
Haha, it’s always puzzled me. Unless you’re buying flat pack furniture, timber, bangs of cement etc, I’d say a little lip is a big help 😉
Just got myself one of these as a townie, i thought the my Lexus hybrid was cheap to run then.....i got this thing. I just drive past a garage & I'm good to go based solely on the fumes it drew in.
Insanely economical eh!?
@DefinitelyNotAGuru it really is, you can take consumption figures with a grain of salt, this is on the money & some.
I went in the car and fell in love :D I like it even if it is a bit hard on the road. It is smooth in the reel and you dont have to go in the car as low. Wich is good when you get older :) Mine is comming in the middle in november :) I had a toyota yaris 2011 before.
You’ve chosen well 👍
I've done a roadtrip across Greece with one, 4000km in total, 55mpg average. Most of the journey was highway, where it does about 50mpg at 65-70mph and around countryside I also got 70mpg easily
That’s awesome
Ordered one in red arrives June
👍👍
TOYOTA YARIS CROSS HYBRID 🙂👍🏻 REALLY PERFECT SMALL SUV, PERFECT
👍
at summer in city with eco mode and a lot of braking i get with this car 2.9% liters consumption in city and 4% on a combined highway+city drive
👍
@@DefinitelyNotAGuru why didn't they add solar roof to yaris cross full hybrid? would have lowered the consumption in city from 3 to 1%. Too bad they added it to new prius, a car with 2.0 engine.... hmm great economy. In my oppinion a hybrid should have only 1.5 engine because a hybrid means fuel economy, who doesnt want fuel economy should buy turbo diesel.
I'm driving mine with around 3.8l/100km, which is around 62 mpg.
Nice!
How was the car at motorway speeds (both in terms of performance and fuel economy)?
Decent for what it is.
What is the fuel consumption of the pertrol 1.5? (Non-hybrid)
This was standard hybrid (not a plugin) I didn’t realise there was a non hybrid version to be honest.
First class car Toyota all the way
👍
How does Yaris Cross 2023 compare to Honda Jazz /Jazz Crosstar 2023 in terms of driving comfort?
There’s not much in it to be honest. There’s no bad choice amongst them.
Good review but your mention of price, the t roc does not come as an hybrid does it and the start price for a basic automatic is actually over 30k so 5k more with no hybrid and no auto and 45 mph ?, also the leg room is fine, put my 6’3 son in the back and he stated loads of room
Ok
My mums holden astra 1.4 turbo does 84mpg hhighway cycle 🤷
We hwve a 4 year old yaris at work. Everyone hates it. I love it. Its slow but eager. Rides good seats are comfy.
I drive a kia cerato GT. I like it. But meh
Awesome
It's the car i wanted my daughter to get got her to test drive it she really likes it but it didn't look "cool" "funky" enough for her. A shame
👍👍
👍👍👍👍
👍👍
Sounds a lot more positive for mpg figures than some reviewers… Will this run on that watery Petrol or does it need the superunleaded..?
Thing that put me off CVT is the revving out on acceleration is this ECVT better in that respect…? 🤔
You can run it on standard petrol. ECVT is a totally different beast in terms the tech. it feels a bit similar to a CVT but 10x better to drive.
It's totally different to what everyone knows as a CVT. There are no cones or belts, or the problems associated with them, just two MG's (Motor Generators) joined with an ingenious set of gears, and accurately controlled by computer. It shouldn't even be referred to as a CVT in my opinion. 👍
❤
👍
I may be wrong , but lve just ordered Toyota Yaris cross Design model and lm paying 24 thousand,I think the basic model start s at around 22 thousand,I might have ordered on my lucky day,!!!!?????
👌👍
It is sad that all car reviews say "It's got Android Auto" for many cars these days as if it was a plus point, glossing over the fact that it does not have satnav in its own right. What is android auto like to use and does the car radio still play whilst the phone satnav is working?
They say that because car play and AA are far better than any manufacturer sat nav. If reviewers say it, then there’s good reason.
And yes, you can still have audio from elsewhere.
I saw one of these in the flesh the other day and while Toyota has never been known for aesthetically pleasing designs, I thought this thing was particularly hideous.
😂😂😂👍👍
Each to their own I guess, as it was exactly thr opposite to me. When I saw one I was immediately interested and ended up buying one partially cos I loved the looks
Far too expensive, too tinny, gutless with its gearbox and dealers milking it when it comes to delivery and part ex prices. I looked at one of these and was quoted about 9 months for delivery. Ended up buying an 8 month old BMW X1 diesel with X drive and a lot more solid. Durable meaning its full of scratchy plastic. Plenty of them around my area with driving schools.
Each to their own.
Did you actually drive one. I had a regular Yaris as a courtesy car (same drivetrain as the Cross) and it definitely wasn't gutless (and I've owned and driven a lot of different cars). In fact it was pretty brisk especially away from the lights. In any case your comparison is not like for like. The Yaris Cross is a small (supermini) based SUV starting at £24k. The X1 starts at £34k. For £10k more I would hope the X1 does offer more performance and some soft touch materials on the dash!!
@@High1QWealth I can afford it.
@@cabottaxiwhy look at yaris then😮
TOYOTA YARIS CROSS LAUNCH IN ... INDIA ... PLEASE
👍
seem pointles a hatchback on stilts
Fair enough 😁
Wait until you've done a few short journeys and then the Yaris Cross won't start as the 12volt battery has lost charge! When the dealers are contacted they tell you you should do a minimum of 8,000 miles a year then try to sell you a trickle charger or a solar charger. This is an acknowledged fault but Toyota seem not to want to confront it. Spoils a nice vehicle.
That's awful and seems very un-Toyota. Have you tried a different dealership?
I'm intrigued by the number of of 12v battery problems that I've read about, our Yaris Cross is driven most days but does less than 10,000km/year. On two occasions this year it has been garaged for 4 weeks and then 6weeks while on holidays, started no problems.
The 12v battery has no cranking duties as in a conventional car, so should have an easy life. It is small so using accessories while the hybrid system is off could quickly deplete its charge.
I cannot stand cvt transmissions. Love the refinement of Toyota hybrids but cvt dealbreaker for me
Fair enough
The T-cross is more expensive on finance and when you try matching spec. VW are very stingy. The Ford Puma is also more expensive on finance with much bigger deposit requirements.
👌
Your'e review says the Toyota Yaris Cross is Bland and looks awfull, I disagree and think it doesnt look bad and wish i could afford one
Cool
No doubt a good car and well engineered but it is just so ugly
Each to their own eh, I think there are far worse looking cars in the category to be honest, none of them come close to a Maserati GranTurismo though…
The toyota will still be going when the puma and troc have been dead a lonnng time.
Yes
He is British why mpg not litres lol meeeettriiicc
He is British, yes.
We still use MPG instead of MPL over here.
It's a funny thing that you say everything in metric except for six foot passengers. I'm only 5'6' and that back seat looks like agony. Not really even suitable for children unless you want a back massage from their feet.
Back seats are fine
Very dull and cheap interior,if they got that right it would be a good vehicle
It is a very good vehicle
