As a Prius owner, my inclination is to stick with hybrid for my next car but the C-HR from Toyota is polarising in look, boot is pathetic, rear visibility is poor both from driver and passenger perspective and it is only offered in the top spec model which makes it tips over 40K. This makes the Yaris Cross a much more compelling package with similar interior space, but more safety features, more boot space and even better fuel consumption. I think Toyota has nailed this one and you can have it for mid 30K. The let down is the lack of an centre arm rest and the look of 16 inch wheels which I think is acceptable compromise to me. Nothing is perfect.
I can’t wait for my mineral blue GXL Yaris Cross delivery. Toyota is building my car for my order. I am so happy to see good review on GXL from a car expert. I only had test drive Urban and GX, Toyota Australia in my area doesn’t stock GXL. I don’t know why.
When I started watching this I thought “oh god, another inexperienced engineer telling me what his inner city trendy mates want to hear” but, I take my hat off to you mate! Good balanced reporting and a damn fair assessment of a car that will definitely divide viewers 👍 good job!
I think the CH-R still will be better. Yaris cross to be a small suv needs more equipment, more power in the engine, 1.8 would be perfect, city, freeway, highway, some dirt roads, with the knowledge that "always" you will drive it with 3 passengers, and trunk loaded, because that's what it was designed for... we will see in which position of sales, and if people like it after a few months of use. Great review mi friend well explained 👌.
I just bought a GXL 2WD hybrid coming end of Jan hopefully. Spare wheel is a must for me. There’s some cons that I can put up with like the opening of the back doors and lack of an armrest and visibility out the back is fine if I take the 2 side head rests out. Disappointing that the European version looks a bit more plush . I really enjoyed the test drive, needed a car and wanted a hybrid with a higher ride height so it made sense for me compared to everything else out there like a Mazda. TSS for mid spec is good. Love that the engine doesn’t even turn in some cases. I will keep this car until the charging infrastructure in Australia is good enough. For now I’ll get the best of both worlds.
I bought one basic model of the Yaris cross hybrid two weeks ago instead of the CHR. It is under recall now and I have to wait another two weeks to pick up. But someone told me don’t buy the odd number cylinder cars as the second hand selling price will go down further than the even number cylinder car. It that true? And why?
I don't think an odd amount cylinders affects resale value at all. There are Audis with 5 cylinders and they hold value well enough. Resale value isn't just determined on number of cylinders, there are many other factors such as overall quality etc. There are many small cars on the market now with 3 cylinders as they are now very improved compared to old school 3 cylinder engines, such as more smoothness and better power delivery. People judging on cylinders need to get with the times IMO.
3.9 litres per 100 km is pretty good for the hybrid version. My 2015 Toyota Camry hybrid averages 6 litres per 100km or under and use regular unleaded (91), the best I have been getting lately is 5.4 litres per 100km with the air conditioner running as well. I would buy a hybrid version of the Yaris cross as I like the higher driver position and would probably buy the GXL 2 wheel drive model. Tom, can you please state whether these new Hybrid vehicles (all makes) you test, use regular unleaded petrol 91 or use Premium unleaded 95 or 98 as this does change the price structure per 100km the vehicles might achieve with the difference in the initial cost per litre of the petrol needed. The Yaris Cross looks far better than the basic Yaris 5 door hatchback and the CH-R. Is the CH-R going to be discontinued?
Hello I am very ineterrested in the Yaris Cross Hybrid but i have a question Can somebody in Australie tel me how much is the ball presure off the towbarr. I need 70 kilo for my e bikes end the stand. In Holland the car comes in the summer of 2021 so nobody can tell me this. Kind regards Henk
I just phoned Toyota spare parts and he could not give me a' tow ball rating' but said it can tow a maximum of 1250 KG. That is all I can tell you. Sorry. Melbourne, Victoria, 'OZ'. (Australia) Regards.
Finally a Toyota that hasn’t had too many designers adding to the finished product. Much cleaner and less bling. I need to check out the colours, mud flap and nudge bar options. Prices are still a little hyper for a 3 pot engine. Nice to hear measurements in inches for a change, especially for other international viewers. The Hybrid is better placed in the market I feel.
Theres a choice of 7 colours if my memory serves me correct, with ink black being the no cost option Unfortunately there are no factory mud flap or nudge bar options at the time of writing this in Feb '21.
There is. Ruiya from Japan Amazon do have aftermarket armrest for the cross and doubles as a storage console too. However my concern is will it interfere with the centre airbag between the seats? Might want to research that beforehand. That may be a reason why there's no armrest to begin with IMO, could be wrong but...
@@st3vo1210 my sales guy told me today seat covers not advised ,'cos they would interfere with air bag between front seats...so i guess thats why no arm rest!
I hear comments about this car ugly or prefer to have CHR, RAV 4 or this overpriced. This car is a nice colour and saves petrol cost. CHR, RAV 4 are four wheel drive and they uses up more petrol . Yaris Cross is not a four wheel drive but it looks like a four wheel drive . In regards to pricing, all car brands have cheaper and more expensive price and I don’t think any brand has the perfect car where all features are included and a satisfactory price. I looked at even used car in 2019 cost between $28,000 - $35,000 and one car in 2015 cost $23,000 and just these 3 cars in different brands not Toyota cars cost this much then I prefer buying Toyota Cross. yes they don’t have arm rest in the front, no vent in the back and no arm handle at the back either but it still consider a nice car to buy because nothing is perfect really. 2014 Yaris cost around 20k plus and 2021 Yaris Cross is $31,000 - less than $32,000 is considered alright, 2019 was a really tough year for so many people and so may businesses.
Exactly what we think, thats why we just bought brand new Yaris Cross last week with 5 years warranty compare to secondhand car. We can save some money for petrol at least next 5 years
Quote: "This car will never run in electric mode only...". Ahah... Outstanding review! A Yaris hybrid in the city run 50-70% of the entire distance in electric mode only. I know, I have one.
Please quote me accurately: "It never really runs in electric-only mode, apart from for very short stints." You can hear what I said at 1:20. The Yaris Cross will coast and decelerate in EV mode, but any acceleration other than very, very light throttle applications will trigger the petrol engine to activate. I am a big fan of Toyota hybrids, but what I actually said (not the way I was misquoted) is entirely accurate.
@@chasingcars are you doing okay Tom. You seem on edge when replying to people’s comments, quick to take offence. Has this year taken more of a mental toll than you realise?
@@craigthacker No one likes to be deliberately misrepresented. i would say it's perfectly ok for Tom to point that out. He was not abusive at all with his reply. People take liberties in the comments section.
We are currently looking at this kind of thing and was in the local Toyota dealership. One of these things was in the middle of the yard and we wandered over 'Oh, that's new???'' we said. The salesperson was unsure why it was parked there and we poked around in it. Looked in the boot (trunk) that kind of thing. There was another young couple looking at smaller hatch's etc and they went to leave and they had an older person looking with them. He hoped in HIS new Cross and left, after giving us a few dirty looks. The sales person, my wife and I laughed. Whoops. Sorry guy who decided to park in the car yard. I think it looks better in real life that this video may imply? Something missing in translation to the RUclips Video. Don't think we will be buying one, but had to relate the story.
I like this small SUV. I know that i 'panned' the non SUV version, but this 'wins my heart'. Weird question. Could you give me the overall width from mirror extremities. Thanks Tom.
Excellent review Tom. My question/s are. If one is overtaking say a B-Double Semi trailer on a long hill, as on the Hume, is there a zip, or is it a long hard & planned slog? And in this situation., what is the best model Yaris Cross &/or other SUV that'll do that job. thanks again.
Was interested in this car with the 16" wheels, asked if I could get the larger 18" from the upper spec model put on Quoted something like $2600. Salesman suggested I just go to Bob Jane instead to get rims.
Great review Tom - Ford puma review soon? I prefer its looks and the T Cross I think in this class and maybe the Juke also as all seem a little more resolved and less like something on stilts :)
I wish car reviews would include more time on the ergonomics of the seats. Back in the early 2000's Toyota had the most comfortable seats in the market as they were designed by a physio. Sadly after 2011 they went cheap n painful. Surely an ergonomics assessment could be added in. Would also like reviewers to add in how the headlights work at night also. I am more interested in these things. Rather than scratching panels that you never touch anyway.
Had a look today at an GXL in that same blue and was pretty disappointed by the interior. It seems GX is the same inside as the GXL. It does look good in black or white though. But for the price it’s a bit bland.
This is a Toyota I would actually consider throwing hard earned money at. Looks very sensible and the design is better than what I have seen from Toyota in a long time. I do believe the future is fully electric though.
I don't get why Toyota are bumping up the pricing on there small models lately, they are pricing themselves out of the segment. For $6K more you could just get a Rav4 which is bigger and has allot more tech.
It’s so cool when you watch on video but when you actually test drive it ... its very small and the inside design makes no sense ... the car is very very slow and loud due to the small engine. First gen need tons of improvements... I recommend to look at something else.
@@asjeot True, but with such a small capacity engine do you really need the addition of a electric motor? The fuel savings (tiny) would not be worth the extra cost...I think it’s more a “ feel good” thing.
Looks a bit like the Hyundai Kona (don't know if it's sold in Australia, but in Europe it is). Especially the black wheel arches and black parts under the door panels. Funny...
I really don't believe it should be called a Yaris. It's different enough to warrant it's own name. It looks ok........but I'd prefer the regular Yaris or, if I need extra space, a genuine SUV like the RAV4. All these different Toyota's will surely cannibalize each other's sales. Why so many, Toyota?
You make a good point... But! I personally like small SUVs or crossovers like this. They are super convenient around town with easily getting up steep driveways/ramps without damaging the front lip of the car. Also, they are great on unsealed gravel tracks which may be encountered when you go to the beach or to a bush walking trail etc.

Hi, Cassandra. Did you receive your car yet? I bought the car in May, nil production date confirm yet
As a Prius owner, my inclination is to stick with hybrid for my next car but the C-HR from Toyota is polarising in look, boot is pathetic, rear visibility is poor both from driver and passenger perspective and it is only offered in the top spec model which makes it tips over 40K.

No Center arm rest? Is it sooo expensive for them to add that as standard!
agreed, total dealbreaker
The fold down centre seat is essentially the arm rest
@@craigthacker I meant at the front haha

ruclips.net/video/3GHoi5O2J7M/видео.html
My old XE Falcon had a centre armrest. It was built in 1982....
The reason why it is missing an armrest is that the car is equipt with airbags in the seat.

When Will it be coming to South Africa
Has anyone tried to fit a pram or small child in this car..? If so, how did you go?
With this and the RAV4... where the heck does this leave the CHR? It's a good car by all measures but... I don't see much of a market for it.

How's this size compared to the kamiq? Comparable?
Love your reviews!! Love the humour
Not sure "Open tailgate by kick " function was mentioned in the video.
I think that for urban level
I cant wait for this car to be released in Sweden!!

How does this compare to your family vw polo in terms of power, comfort, and noise isolation.
Almost 50 years since the Metric system was introduced, people are still using inches.

Subbed.
Where’s the rear grab handle behind the driver?
I always have a large voss bottle with me in a car and I often use that as an armrest haha
Very good review. Is it better then t-cross 1.0 TSI?
How much will it cost in Europe? Like the normal Yaris?
Nobody can answer that moron.
Europe is a continent with many country's and all different prices.

It's strange, the Yaris and Yaris Cross in SA is a completely different car to the rest of the world.
Do they come with spare tyer
On the 2wd models, yes in spacesaver form. AWD models do not as per the review and come with a repair kit instead.

Unfortunately the base model is still $8k more than a Hyundai Venue, and $3k more than a Kia Seltos. It is over priced for its segment.
It's a Toyota, engineered to last. It will outlive those two Koreans. Worth paying extra for quality.
I still don't know the release date in Europe.
Online reports speculate mid 2021 for Europe when they start building it in the France factory, hope that helps.

Toyota seem to forget that kids travelling in the rear seat normally use tablets... so where are the charge points?
As usual an excellent presentation. 😊

For $6K more you could just get a Rav4 which is bigger and has allot more tech.

Interesting.
Now make a GR version like the upcoming Yaris, with 250hp 😀
With this clearance it will roll of in the first corner ...
Nice car, but can’t believe they copied the steering design from Mazda

This car is beautiful. Thanks for your review.
Charging a premium price (well over $30k when you add on roads) for a budget car? Oh that’s right it’s a “Toyota” ...that makes it alright.

@@johncleaver4245 Guess the competition at the bottom is tough especially with the Korean makers. Toyota are trying to upmarket like Mazda?
Even the non-hybrid base model is over $30k. It is far over priced considering its competitors are the Hyundai Venu and Kia Seltos.
@Der Schwindel I’m pretty sure they all struggle with such small output.
Debating between this and the Rav4 hybrid.
Also make sure you consider the C-HR Hybrid.
Can't wait to test drive !
Grab handle above the driver but no grab handle in the rear, seems the wrong way around
Hopefully Toyota offers the GR Yaris in other markets Seemingly very special to reserve it forJDM only
GR yaris is coming to Australia as well as Europe
@@hexagonview But not to North America ?
will it be available with Hybrid and AWD ?? But no armrest is a NoGo...sry, even the cheapest cars have it today !

Looks a bit like the Hyundai Kona (don't know if it's sold in Australia, but in Europe it is). Especially the black wheel arches and black parts under the door panels. Funny...
So how much???
He told us!!!
The front grille reminds me of a Citroen Ami (I'm very old)
I see the resemblance! This car appears even more shocked, though...

I Would buy the GXL than the Urban that brown looks just like 🟫
Ugly front. How much the hybrid batteries cost and how long they last ?
8 year warranty on the hybrid battery
Tom, like so many of your viewers, I thoroughly enjoy watching your balance, unbiased and rather entertaining review of this vehicle. 👍
Excellent. That’s a refreshing change.
I don't know, maybe I'm getting old, but I feel like the SUV versions are almost always the better one.
Reminds me of the fugly 1st generation Subaru Tribeca B9.
ill be honest those shift knob looks so 90's lemao
The next $5000 mid-life update will include an armrest and rear vents.
Not sure if even Toyota is that cynical...
That brown interior in the Urban 🤮
I'm sure you can change the interior to pure white or different colour if you wish 😎
First yaris I have liked.
I really don't believe it should be called a Yaris. It's different enough to warrant it's own name.
It looks ok........but I'd prefer the regular Yaris or, if I need extra space, a genuine SUV like the RAV4.
All these different Toyota's will surely cannibalize each other's sales. Why so many, Toyota?
I want one!
What a great package!
What’s the point of another small crossover? 🙄 Just get the Corolla hatchback and enjoy the better handling...
You make a good point... But!
I personally like small SUVs or crossovers like this. They are super convenient around town with easily getting up steep driveways/ramps without damaging the front lip of the car.

Looks cool but that's about it. What a missed opportunity imo
Hyundai / Kia products are so much better in almost every level
@Der Schwindel True
I like the neat baby RAV4 looks. Interior design a bit sedate, but it looks very user friendly and practical.
