B mode in Toyotas is ONLY for descending mountain passes or steep descents. It should never be used during normal driving. I own a Hybrid Toyota. You can read it in the user manual. It does not regenerate much more energy. Instead it uses engine brake to slow you down. That is the only purpose
Yes, I confirm, B mode should not be used for cruising in town, it's not a regen mode. its sole purpose is usage of engine brake (for downhill slopes when battery is full). Matt should have used the D mode instead and does not use regen braking, which is the mode you are supposed to use 99% of the time.

I have had my Yaris Cross for just over a year. It is nice to drive (better than you might imagine) and frugal on petrol. Cold weather affects the main battery, so restricts fuel consumption, but I have never had below 60 mpg and 70+ is not unusual, even in British summer. Road noise can be a bit intrusive, especially given the appalling state of Britain's roads, but the real bugbear with the car is the 12 volt battery that runs the tech that operates the doors, the alarm, the parking brake, etc and most significant, the ability to start the car. If you take extra long holidays or use the car infrequently, the battery will lose its charge and becomes immobile. You can't even push it because of the electronic parking brake. There is a jump start point in the fuse holder under the bonnet, but my recommendation, if you buy one of these cars (and I believe the same problem occurs with other hybrids and EVs) and use it infrequently, is to buy a solar charger. Amazon, for example, will sell you the AA Solar Charger, which plugs into the EOBD socket, under the dashboard above the brake pedal, for under £30.
I believe you can start your Yaris Cross Hybrid using Toyota mobile app. My bro in law uses the app to start his BYD ev cars while he is away on vacations.
My mom had Yaris 2016, and i always loved that chill cruise around town, no rush, superb mpg, i just really liked it. Now she bought 2024 yaris cross hybrid, we’re picking it tomorrow, can’t wait to cruise around. The one thing i loved the most that from 2016 till 2024 there was ZERO issues with the car and i mean it. Literally nothing to repair besides general stuff like oil, filters and break pads. Insane quality and 0 headache to maintain.

@@jandolejsi8122 thats the problem with hybrids. I had a toyota aqua hybrid after 11yrs it broke down n the battery is expensive too but hey its still good if ur getting a new one
@@jandolejsi8122 You either live in 2003 or have only heard of European hybrids. I would hesitate buying european hybrids too. But the japanese have made hybrids for decades and have proven themselves much more reliable than non-hybrid european cars.
EV mode button is for moving the vehicle short distances like in / out of a garage etc without starting the power unit, Leave the EV button only, stick it in D then just drive it & let the hybrid system do the work.
B isn’t more regenerative braking. It stops disconnecting the ICE when you release the throttle. So you can Brake on the ICE when going downhill, instead of constantly pushing the brakes. Has been for decades on Toyota hybrids.
Man some cars don't have that but atrocious manual knob that you have to rotate to recline your seat This lever seems to be basic but when you don't have it you really miss it
I always find i give it back at the end because buying costs more than another brand new car. With no mot or warranty to worry about. @@emielregisrohellecterzieff1074
You must not follow the news. Their SUVs and Trucks are a nightmare. They have had to stop production in multiple models to fix engine issues. I would go Mazda over Toyotas Right now.
In terms of driving experience and options maybe but in terms of reliability of course not. Peugeot group and vw known for poor reliability for decades especially French and Italians with their crappy electronics @@derbigpr500
true, but i've been helping my daughter move and buy some stuff recently and would have preferred one like this 🙂. They could offer a stuff one as an option.
I've had mine 6 weeks, it's ave 72mpg, you can easily achieve 80-100 mpg on trips especially with slower moving traffic, it's more Powerful than I expected with the 114 motor, the only thing I would change is the seats to full leather
I have the 2024 Yaris Cross Excel fully loaded. I previously had a 2020 Yaris 1.0l petrol manual (Awesome car and wish I had not sold it). The Yaris Cross is fantastic for around town and fuel consumption around town and on A-roads is often in excess of 70mpg. On numerous occasions I have had 80mpg and even 90+mpg for journeys of 20 - 25 miles. Motorway driving is always 65mpg +. It is unbelievably cheap to run petrol wise. My Toyota dealer in Croydon is fantastic for servicing. A really slick experience all around. The Excel version has an auto parking feature and surround view. The auto parking is utterly amazing. It feels weird though letting go of the wheel. The Excel also has other safety features when pulling out or reversing out of a driveway that warns you of pedestrians and cars. It really works and is superb. The jury is out on the adaptive cruise control. For me even when setting on maximum distance I always feel it is too close to the car in front at higher speeds on the motorway so I rarely use this feature. Lane assist is good too. You can feel the wheel tugging if you stray without indicating. The visibility out of the back window is limited. I like a car with a lot more glass and thinner pillars personally but the safety features on the car compensate for this limited view (ie blind spot monitoring). This being my first (small) SUV, I personally would go back to the Yaris rather than the Yaris Cross. Slightly narrower and shorter and better suited to driving in Greater London. I also prefer the lower driving position. The boot is a decent size. We use for 2 Brompton bikes and then there is room for a suitcase as well. From a driving perspective it is as easy as it gets. Switch it on, put in drive and drive. The hold feature is brilliant and being a hybrid no changing gear all the time in traffic. It's a fantastic car but on occasions I yearn for my manual. I feel there is a little more connection when you have to use the gears manually. One bug bear is the single USB in the front. It would cost nothing to have multiple USB's. My experience of Toyota's in the last 4 years has been entirely positive. If I had to buy a car for my son who has passed his test, I would plumb for a standard Yaris with some of the extras like all round camera's and parking feature. If you have never had a Toyota or hybrid then give it a go. Just look around you when you are out driving. Every time you see a broken down car, make a note of the brand. Toyota's are everywhere. The car of choice for Uber drivers. They are literally driving all day. You'll hardly ever see a broken down Toyota if ever but you will see plenty of premium German cars waiting for a breakdown truck. I simply would not even look at another manufacturer next time I buy (Perhaps Honda).
How would you rate tyre and wind noise when driving at 70mph? How does it compare to other cars you’ve owned? I have read that the latest editions, Toyota have introduced a few more measures to make things quieter.
@@mucmac3586 believe it or not, but the official inflation figures are not based entirely off of the price of a Toyota Yaris Cross. Maybe inflation includes other items too.
my understanding was that B mode actually increases engine breaking and stops or reduces charging the batteries to prevent them overheating when going down hills or steep inclines
@@bartek.igielskiyou‘re right, but still the electric motor can lock out the pulleys, meaning it will be more responsive since it doesn‘g rely on centrifugal forces :)
@@ew4nl144 you're being mugged off and you don't even realise it! 34,000 AUD = £17,500 - maybe down to the AUS market has opening up more to Chinese brands. The UK is done for. Didn't the Japanese refer to the UK as the "treasure island" ?
DO NOT drive around in B mode in any Toyota Hybrid as Mat was doing in this video. It is only meant as a downhill engine assistance brake. It's not meant to be used for regen. Any complaints with this car come down to its class. You know this is going last a long time compared to a peugeot or vw.
Like with all Toyotas they focus on reliability if the drive train and forget the about everything else as important including interior build quality 😂
Blank switch in the boot: semi electric tow coupling? A Passat had the same system to open the fuel tank - I remember there was a button somewhwere between the front seats... By the way: It's a eCVT, not a CVT. The transmission ratio is fixed (planetary gear), different ratios are simulated by power distribution.
This is car I got in April 2024 First review I have seen for this year , all other reviews are 2 years old are more. You did leave out the safety features and the Hold brake feature is great at traffic lights, and the petrol range is over 700km with full tank.
I've had the hybrid mid-spec for almost 2 years now. Averages 4.1 l/100km on highways, 3.6 around town and less than 3 in the countryside. The boot capacity on mine (hybrid FW drive only is 390 liters). Very comfortable and impressive handling for its class. Cannot recommend it enough!
Using B mode in a Toyota will increase your fuel consumption, it is only for use to provide engine braking on a steep descent. It has no effect on regeneration.
Would be very interesting to see a Clio Vs Yaris or Capture Vs Yaris Cross comparative Especially regarding the hybrid system which are similar but still have a quite different philosophy
I've got a load cover like that on my 2021 model Yaris Cross. You don't have to select EV mode as the car goes into electric drive whenever it can. Forget B mode, I've never used it.
just got one the GR version, this car is great fun to drive, the performance is good enugh, the MPG is crazy, i never get less than 58mpg usually its over 65mpg and on long runs ive had 76mpg and im not a slow driver. id say just go ahead and buy it.
Was in Japan a few days ago, my parents rented one of these to go from Tokyo to fuji speedway, believe me these back seats are horrible when it comes to long distances and noise insulation doesn’t exsist….other than that it was pretty blumming good
as far as owning corolla hybrid, these cars are great for mixture of city driving and driving between towns, where hybrid battery is most active, but if you do lot of motorway driving, stay away from them, lot of noise and hybrid battery is obviously not working for higher speeds.
Ive just swapped in my 10 year old Auris Hybrid for the YARIS Cross as I wanted slightly higher seating position. I loved the Auris but it did roar a bit when accelerating. I expected the newer Yaris to be quieter but it isnt. Also the roar comes from the back of the car rather than under the bonnet which is taking time to get used to. Its a similar sound to the rasberry noise you get when your exhaust blows. I use ECO mode, EV will only work up to 20 mph then the engine cuts in. Its a lovely ride. Feels like its driving itself, very smooth. Heavily tinted rear windows are dark to see through. Not sure if that was standard tint as I bought it 3 months old and had a previous owner. Its the ICON and delighted it has keyless entry. Reversing camera. Im adding parking sensors . Could see no advantage in paying 2/3k more for Design. Still undecided if I should have got the Corolla for better visability and more interior space.
regarding ev drive: (there are 2 ev modes) 1. normal ev that the car goes automatically gives a limited amount of electric hp of around 30hp up to any speed that 30hp can get to (95kmh aproximatly or 180kmh if you go downhill, obvious) 2. ev mode button pressed lets you get all the 80 electric hp up to 48kmh and after that goes into normal ev limited to 30hp
This car reminds me of a slice of white bread in an all you can eat breakfast buffet. So many options and yet you choose a slice of white bread. Nothing particularly wrong with it but also nothing exciting.
I got adaptive cruise control in my much maligned 2018 Suzuki Swift Sport and it works really well. Also got automatic led lights and daytime lights and most but not all of the other safety measures. Cost here in the southern hemisphere was a bit under £15,000.
For the same reason I'm glad I bought the new CHR. Incredibly driver friendly cars, economical and easy, but also fun to drive. And all of the above at competitive prices!
Seems weird that parcel shelf. Years ago you would get a proper spare wheel and now they do a spare saver wheel or even nothing at all. Then we had the proper parcel shelf and now we have a piece of cloth with a couple of clips to hold it together. Cheap and cheerful. 😂😂
I wish you had discussed the automatic gearbox, especially due to the 1.3 engine. As with previous models the 1.1 automatic comparison was negative to the 1.3 versions.
In the manual of the car you’ll find that the B mode is only for when going downhill to slow the car (this is their example). I also knew that B was for more regen…
UK's version of the Yaris Cross is very different from the Asian STD Yaris Cross. Well, perhaps it is because it is using the TNGA platform while ours uses DNGA..
my old Toyota Space Cruiser had a lever for the fuel filler cap, too! it was always funny watching folks trying to find it as it was under the handbrake in the middle 🤔😜😂 as for modern Toyota’s it’s the Rav4 that I want 😮 also was that old Cayenne with you 🤔
For the same price you get an Audi A3 Sedan and you have room for the rear passenger , lots of boot space, nice and quite ride amd quality! And it has good looks too!
I checked it out and decided against it. Depending on how it is adjusted, it either has an almost usable back seat or an almost usable trunk. I do not understand why every car is cut so short.
Test drove the Toyota Premier, top of the range, Yaris Cross against the Nissan Juke N Sport hybrid. The more powerful motor in the Premier was a huge improvement over the older115 BHP. Interior was poor compared to Juke which was more solid, better seats, much better digital dashboard, storage (surprisingly large glove box, centre armrest cubby) , infotainment (the around view camera was a fuzzy affair compared to the crisp screen on the Nissan) , ergonomics (the camera button and several others are hidden under the right hand side dash, I had to open the door in order to see them 😀) etc. Expected the Jukes 19 inch wheels (why Nissan?) to be awful and was pleasantly surprised by the better ride and body control. Toyota 10-15mpg better than the Nissan, as well as other positives like roof rails, powered tailgate, warranty, sun roof option, through load and centre cup holders etc. In the end the Juke just seemed like a larger more solid, planted on the road car that I would rather spend time in, showing the importance of long test drives. 👍
It seems that the seats come from the previous Toyota CHR model and have some play in the floor rails from the factory, which they can't manage to fix. Additionally, these seats tend to be very uncomfortable, especially in the seating area.
I was a passenger in an older version of this car and didn't have a great experience. While the newer model might have some improvements, in my case, the transition between electric mode and the engine was quite rough. Accelerating quickly from a standstill caused noticeable shaking, and the pickup for highway merging was underwhelming, even with the electric motor's assistance. Additionally, when driving on the motorway, the car felt like it wanted to roll around corners, especially in the back seats. It doesn’t seem well-suited for highway driving and requires a cautious and easy approach in the city. Having been in other Toyota hybrids before, I expected better from this one. Personally, I don't see the appeal of these crossovers and think the standard Yaris Hybrid would be a better option.
Last years model, manual with only petrol engine. Similar experience although it does ok job, nothing glamorous though. Cross is better for shitty roads, parking on curbs and gravel... basically a normal non-western Europe experience xD
@@lemcakes32422 Hey look, you don't have to get all defensive. I was just sharing my personal experience, and I know it might not be the same for everyone. Whether I was a passenger or the driver shouldn't really change the perspective I was giving. I totally get that for most people, these things might not be a big deal and that it's a perfectly good car-after all, they wouldn't sell so many if it wasn't! I was just saying that, in my opinion, it doesn't quite feel like a driver's car, and I expected a bit more since it's a Toyota. No hard feelings!
It used to be my family car. Easy to drive, have a simple centre console, got good mileage, and well designed. What I don’t like about it is such as, rear seats are bit small and won’t be reclined to the fullest, though these are not big deals. Overall, it’s the most cost efficient car of all other similarly sized vehicles.
It's actually not a CVT, contrary to what Mat said. It's an eCVT, and despite the name, it couldn't be more different. The toyota eCVT is rock solid reliable, apparently.
It's an eCVT, with power split device, a completely different system from a CVT. Yes the old Toyota hybrid has an actual CVT, but the modern one doesn't.
My Parents got a Yaris Cross in 2022 - it's Japanese spec (We're in New Zealand) so it has the cool individual displays for the gauges n stuff. They Love it.
Quick release seats are not good. They make it much harder, not to mention dangerous to adjust your seat on the move. A ratchet system gives you infinitesimal adjustment.

I have had my Yaris Cross for just over a year. It is nice to drive (better than you might imagine) and frugal on petrol. Cold weather affects the main battery, so restricts fuel consumption, but I have never had below 60 mpg and 70+ is not unusual, even in British summer.
Road noise can be a bit intrusive, especially given the appalling state of Britain's roads, but the real bugbear with the car is the 12 volt battery that runs the tech that operates the doors, the alarm, the parking brake, etc and most significant, the ability to start the car.
If you take extra long holidays or use the car infrequently, the battery will lose its charge and becomes immobile. You can't even push it because of the electronic parking brake. There is a jump start point in the fuse holder under the bonnet, but my recommendation, if you buy one of these cars (and I believe the same problem occurs with other hybrids and EVs) and use it infrequently, is to buy a solar charger. Amazon, for example, will sell you the AA Solar Charger, which plugs into the EOBD socket, under the dashboard above the brake pedal, for under £30.
Does the solar charge the 12V battery automatically when you insert that solar cable into EOBD port?
I believe you can start your Yaris Cross Hybrid using Toyota mobile app. My bro in law uses the app to start his BYD ev cars while he is away on vacations.
Had mine for a year and agree with everything you've described. I bought a jump starter for the battery after it failed to start in the winter.
My mom had Yaris 2016, and i always loved that chill cruise around town, no rush, superb mpg, i just really liked it. Now she bought 2024 yaris cross hybrid, we’re picking it tomorrow, can’t wait to cruise around. The one thing i loved the most that from 2016 till 2024 there was ZERO issues with the car and i mean it. Literally nothing to repair besides general stuff like oil, filters and break pads. Insane quality and 0 headache to maintain.

EV mode button is for moving the vehicle short distances like in / out of a garage etc without starting the power unit, Leave the EV button only, stick it in D then just drive it & let the hybrid system do the work.
B isn’t more regenerative braking. It stops disconnecting the ICE when you release the throttle. So you can Brake on the ICE when going downhill, instead of constantly pushing the brakes. Has been for decades on Toyota hybrids.
yup. B is more for engine breaking downhill.

I have the 2024 Yaris Cross Excel fully loaded. I previously had a 2020 Yaris 1.0l petrol manual (Awesome car and wish I had not sold it). The Yaris Cross is fantastic for around town and fuel consumption around town and on A-roads is often in excess of 70mpg. On numerous occasions I have had 80mpg and even 90+mpg for journeys of 20 - 25 miles. Motorway driving is always 65mpg +. It is unbelievably cheap to run petrol wise. My Toyota dealer in Croydon is fantastic for servicing. A really slick experience all around. The Excel version has an auto parking feature and surround view. The auto parking is utterly amazing. It feels weird though letting go of the wheel. The Excel also has other safety features when pulling out or reversing out of a driveway that warns you of pedestrians and cars. It really works and is superb. The jury is out on the adaptive cruise control. For me even when setting on maximum distance I always feel it is too close to the car in front at higher speeds on the motorway so I rarely use this feature. Lane assist is good too. You can feel the wheel tugging if you stray without indicating. The visibility out of the back window is limited. I like a car with a lot more glass and thinner pillars personally but the safety features on the car compensate for this limited view (ie blind spot monitoring). This being my first (small) SUV, I personally would go back to the Yaris rather than the Yaris Cross. Slightly narrower and shorter and better suited to driving in Greater London. I also prefer the lower driving position. The boot is a decent size. We use for 2 Brompton bikes and then there is room for a suitcase as well. From a driving perspective it is as easy as it gets. Switch it on, put in drive and drive. The hold feature is brilliant and being a hybrid no changing gear all the time in traffic. It's a fantastic car but on occasions I yearn for my manual. I feel there is a little more connection when you have to use the gears manually. One bug bear is the single USB in the front. It would cost nothing to have multiple USB's. My experience of Toyota's in the last 4 years has been entirely positive. If I had to buy a car for my son who has passed his test, I would plumb for a standard Yaris with some of the extras like all round camera's and parking feature. If you have never had a Toyota or hybrid then give it a go. Just look around you when you are out driving. Every time you see a broken down car, make a note of the brand. Toyota's are everywhere. The car of choice for Uber drivers. They are literally driving all day. You'll hardly ever see a broken down Toyota if ever but you will see plenty of premium German cars waiting for a breakdown truck. I simply would not even look at another manufacturer next time I buy (Perhaps Honda).
How would you rate tyre and wind noise when driving at 70mph? How does it compare to other cars you’ve owned? I have read that the latest editions, Toyota have introduced a few more measures to make things quieter.
The Yaris Launched in 1999 for £7,495... 25 years later it costs... 25k... more than 300% inflation in 25 years.
well this answers the question do govs lie about inflation data
@@mucmac3586 believe it or not, but the official inflation figures are not based entirely off of the price of a Toyota Yaris Cross. Maybe inflation includes other items too.
The cars are so different that they can't even be compared.
Loads of nonsense safety systems and hybridisation add to the cost no doubt. Still a ridiculous increase though.
@@Jeffrey_M ones nonsense is others necessity. Speak for yourself only.
my understanding was that B mode actually increases engine breaking and stops or reduces charging the batteries to prevent them overheating when going down hills or steep inclines

Planetary gear system I believe

Interesting.. Thanks for the info
It's still CVT. eCVT is just naming Toyota uses to mark that they replaced belt/chain with an electric motor, everything else remains the same.
@@bartek.igielskiyou‘re right, but still the electric motor can lock out the pulleys, meaning it will be more responsive since it doesn‘g rely on centrifugal forces :)

My Peugeot 3008 from 2014 has the electric motor on the rear axle to provide 4 wheel drive as and when you want it.
Blank switch in the boot: semi electric tow coupling?
A Passat had the same system to open the fuel tank - I remember there was a button somewhwere between the front seats...
By the way: It's a eCVT, not a CVT. The transmission ratio is fixed (planetary gear), different ratios are simulated by power distribution.
This is car I got in April 2024 First review I have seen for this year , all other reviews are 2 years old are more. You did leave out the safety features and the Hold brake feature is great at traffic lights, and the petrol range is over 700km with full tank.
I've had the hybrid mid-spec for almost 2 years now. Averages 4.1 l/100km on highways, 3.6 around town and less than 3 in the countryside. The boot capacity on mine (hybrid FW drive only is 390 liters). Very comfortable and impressive handling for its class. Cannot recommend it enough!
Using B mode in a Toyota will increase your fuel consumption, it is only for use to provide engine braking on a steep descent. It has no effect on regeneration.
So basically almost always useless function. Can only be used 1 % of the time and you will forget to use it anyways...
@@StayReal02 Certainly no use where I live near Cambridge - no hills for miles here 😂

just got one the GR version, this car is great fun to drive, the performance is good enugh, the MPG is crazy, i never get less than 58mpg usually its over 65mpg and on long runs ive had 76mpg and im not a slow driver. id say just go ahead and buy it.
Was in Japan a few days ago, my parents rented one of these to go from Tokyo to fuji speedway, believe me these back seats are horrible when it comes to long distances and noise insulation doesn’t exsist….other than that it was pretty blumming good
The front reminds me of a Ford Puma.
as far as owning corolla hybrid, these cars are great for mixture of city driving and driving between towns, where hybrid battery is most active, but if you do lot of motorway driving, stay away from them, lot of noise and hybrid battery is obviously not working for higher speeds.
That’s because of the tiny engine. RAV4 hybrid barely makes noise and is excellent economic as well
That’s not my experience with my Lexus 450h, very good on the motorway and better economy.
@GundogJake how does being a hybrid improve economy on the motorway
Thats wrong i can travel at 90 KPH. and be on battery mode for about 3km. on the flat highway and no wind.
Collected my Excel model yesterday 21/10/24. It's bonkers on fuel 60-70mpg depending on the type of journey. Well worth the investment.
adaptive cruise control as standard is a great move. It makes driving more relax and safer.
Ive just swapped in my 10 year old Auris Hybrid for the YARIS Cross as I wanted slightly higher seating position. I loved the Auris but it did roar a bit when accelerating. I expected the newer Yaris to be quieter but it isnt. Also the roar comes from the back of the car rather than under the bonnet which is taking time to get used to. Its a similar sound to the rasberry noise you get when your exhaust blows. I use ECO mode, EV will only work up to 20 mph then the engine cuts in. Its a lovely ride. Feels like its driving itself, very smooth. Heavily tinted rear windows are dark to see through. Not sure if that was standard tint as I bought it 3 months old and had a previous owner. Its the ICON and delighted it has keyless entry. Reversing camera. Im adding parking sensors . Could see no advantage in paying 2/3k more for Design. Still undecided if I should have got the Corolla for better visability and more interior space.
Please do a comparison between lbx and q2
regarding ev drive: (there are 2 ev modes)
1. normal ev that the car goes automatically gives a limited amount of electric hp of around 30hp up to any speed that 30hp can get to (95kmh aproximatly or 180kmh if you go downhill, obvious)
2. ev mode button pressed lets you get all the 80 electric hp up to 48kmh and after that goes into normal ev limited to 30hp
Great fuel economy, reliability, durability, resale value.
UK car prices never fail to amaze me. £25k for an entry level trim is wild. In Australia we pay the equivalent of £23k for a fully optioned top trim.
This car reminds me of a slice of white bread in an all you can eat breakfast buffet. So many options and yet you choose a slice of white bread. Nothing particularly wrong with it but also nothing exciting.
I got adaptive cruise control in my much maligned 2018 Suzuki Swift Sport and it works really well. Also got automatic led lights and daytime lights and most but not all of the other safety measures. Cost here in the southern hemisphere was a bit under £15,000.
The fact that you get a rev counter in your mid spec is mad. Idk how i can do with mine. Mines a 2023 car
For the same reason I'm glad I bought the new CHR. Incredibly driver friendly cars, economical and easy, but also fun to drive. And all of the above at competitive prices!
Seems weird that parcel shelf. Years ago you would get a proper spare wheel and now they do a spare saver wheel or even nothing at all. Then we had the proper parcel shelf and now we have a piece of cloth with a couple of clips to hold it together. Cheap and cheerful. 😂😂
But the car costs £25k
I agree with the comment on the seat design,I sat in a high spec version and it was uncomfortable at the point where the back meets the actual seat.
Funny that. In the original review in 2020 or so, you said the rear boot cover was crap and a waste of space. 😂

I wish you had discussed the automatic gearbox, especially due to the 1.3 engine. As with previous models the 1.1 automatic comparison was negative to the 1.3 versions.

Can you review the LEXUS LBX
Test drove the Toyota Premier, top of the range, Yaris Cross against the Nissan Juke N Sport hybrid.
The more powerful motor in the Premier was a huge improvement over the older115 BHP.
Interior was poor compared to Juke which was more solid, better seats, much better digital dashboard, storage (surprisingly large glove box, centre armrest cubby) , infotainment (the around view camera was a fuzzy affair compared to the crisp screen on the Nissan) , ergonomics (the camera button and several others are hidden under the right hand side dash, I had to open the door in order to see them 😀) etc.
Expected the Jukes 19 inch wheels (why Nissan?) to be awful and was pleasantly surprised by the better ride and body control.
Toyota 10-15mpg better than the Nissan, as well as other positives like roof rails, powered tailgate, warranty, sun roof option, through load and centre cup holders etc.
In the end the Juke just seemed like a larger more solid, planted on the road car that I would rather spend time in, showing the importance of long test drives. 👍
9.6 is not bad 😊
Compared to what?
Maybe , but most cars they test are sold around the world , not Just UK , and they are Great reviews
There's almost no point of the verdict is there? Almost all cars fall into shortlist 😅
It seems that the seats come from the previous Toyota CHR model and have some play in the floor rails from the factory, which they can't manage to fix. Additionally, these seats tend to be very uncomfortable, especially in the seating area.
I was a passenger in an older version of this car and didn't have a great experience. While the newer model might have some improvements, in my case, the transition between electric mode and the engine was quite rough. Accelerating quickly from a standstill caused noticeable shaking, and the pickup for highway merging was underwhelming, even with the electric motor's assistance. Additionally, when driving on the motorway, the car felt like it wanted to roll around corners, especially in the back seats. It doesn’t seem well-suited for highway driving and requires a cautious and easy approach in the city. Having been in other Toyota hybrids before, I expected better from this one. Personally, I don't see the appeal of these crossovers and think the standard Yaris Hybrid would be a better option.
Last years model, manual with only petrol engine. Similar experience although it does ok job, nothing glamorous though. Cross is better for shitty roads, parking on curbs and gravel... basically a normal non-western Europe experience xD

It used to be my family car.
Easy to drive, have a simple centre console, got good mileage, and well designed. What I don’t like about it is such as, rear seats are bit small and won’t be reclined to the fullest, though these are not big deals.
Overall, it’s the most cost efficient car of all other similarly sized vehicles.
Hard plastic at touch points ? Dark miserable interior and a CVT gearbox. No thanks
It's actually not a CVT, contrary to what Mat said. It's an eCVT, and despite the name, it couldn't be more different. The toyota eCVT is rock solid reliable, apparently.
yeh don't need that 10 year Toyota warranty might just get poor unreliable German crap
e CVT is different with CVT. similiar power delivery tough, but more reliable than regular cvt
It's an eCVT, with power split device, a completely different system from a CVT.
Yes the old Toyota hybrid has an actual CVT, but the modern one doesn't.
i agree with the interior quality its horrendous for a car costing from £25k!
The extra sound isolation only comes with the 130hp version, not with the 116hp. It was said by a Toyota distributor.
I don't think the dealer is competent. Toyota's press release states that all models receive these upgrades.
My Parents got a Yaris Cross in 2022 - it's Japanese spec (We're in New Zealand) so it has the cool individual displays for the gauges n stuff. They Love it.
Quick release seats are not good. They make it much harder, not to mention dangerous to adjust your seat on the move. A ratchet system gives you infinitesimal adjustment.
