Pro tip lang sa mga interesado sa Yaris Cross: "Don't waste your time on Toyota Albang (near Northgate). Their agents are very unhelpful and loves wasting your time. Hanap kayo ibang branch!
Love this little car. Was able to take the non-hybrid version on a long drive. Spent about Php1,500 on fuel driving from baguio to alabang with a little bit left over. Luggage space is decent. The interior is great for the segment. Engine is indeed a bit loud, though. Getting up to speed at toll roads sounds like youre racing on a drag strip. Engine noise at 3k rpm is pretty significant already imo.
I tested one the other day (a friend owns one, Hybrid Electric) and the NVH is appalling. Idk how Toyota managed to do that because it reminded me of riding in a subcompact hatchback like the Swift or Wigo where you can hear a LOT of road and wind noise. I was expecting a more premium ride given that it's around 1.5m. The boost from the electric motor tapers off at around 40KPH, after that speed, you are left with the meager 98hp Atkinson engine, wheezing its way trying to reach highway speeds. The fuel economy is brilliant, though. Averaging 15-19km/l city drive (1pm-7pm in hellish Cebu traffic). I know Toyota could've done more for this brilliant platform, but it just isn't worth it. The Corolla Cross hybrid is simply a better choice if you're already about to spend 1.5ish million of your hard-earned cash. Edit: Did a bit of research and found out that the Yaris Cross rides on the DNGA platform, while the Corolla Cross uses the TNGA platform, which explains a LOT about why it has terrible NVH levels.
If we're talking HEV, the Corolla Cross is definitely the better option comfort-wise. The petrol variant (V) of Yaris Cross looks good for its price though!
I think your review just reduced the Yaris cross hybrid in my list of options. I drive to Cabuyao 3 times a week from Makati, and if it’s as loud as a Wigo/ Picanto then that’s a big pass. I would rather get the Zenix Hybrid.
@@NR63917 it shocking, really. And I'm not just pulling data out of my ass, I own a 2015 Swift and have rented a Wigo for a week sa Palawan. I understand that they are budget vehicles serving a different market, and they are excellent choices for their price. However, for 1.5m that Toyota is asking for the Yaris Cross, I really was expecting at least Similar NVH levels as my 2020 Altis. I was so disappointed. The ride isn't that bad, kaso pangit talaga yung cabin insulation nya. The engine also feels rather underpowered and gutless above 80km/hr, but at least it is quiet. It just doesn't feel refined. I really wanted to love it though because of its fuel economy and ease of drivability. But since I'm a person that goes on long trips often, I don't think I'll be upgrading to this anytime soon
i commented on one of your previous videos, after months of waiting and countless dealerships, finally got my hands on a Corolla Cross HEV GR-Sport! they quietly upgraded it too with an updated headunit (bigger) and a sunroof! still trying to learn how to efficiently drive a hybrid haha, having the bigger engine at your disposal was too good to pass up considering taking it for occasional long drives. Toyota Safety Sense is such a treat too!
The whole point of this vehicle is to target start-up families that have limited budget. Heck, the entire platform is suppose to be based on the concept of affordability. If I were to pick a car for a start-up family, considering the price of this yaris cross, a 2nd hand 3 year old pick-up truck would be a better option. You get a proven diesel engine, and more cargo space. Rather than come-up with a solid product, toyota chose to bombard the market with mediocre products with one of the worst interior designs in the market and equip it with an underpowered engine. Toyota needs to step-up their game. And they also need to be realistic with their pricing. 1.6 million?? for a car that produces 91hp?
Been car shopping and this was on the higher end of my budget on my list. the interior is cramped and it felt cheap. Toyota just using their brand to get the extra hundred thousands.
So we own this now and let's just say we're thankfull the dealers we went to didn't have the Corolla Cross Hybrid available. But that just highlights the question you mentioned as to why would wouldn't go up, mainly availability and allocations. We were originally ready to go for the Zenix Hybrid, but there was already a queue from day 1 of release (probably from people reserving prior to Philippine release with their connections to dealers). On FB Marketplace, third party dealers are selling the Zenix for 2.3m-2.5m, the Corolla Cross GR for 2.1m and I recall a listing for the Yaris Cross Hybrid for 1.8m. people want the cars, but they're simply not available. It does however let them explore other options outside Toyota, so I guess there's that.
You save About 30-40% fuel consumption you bet from non hybrid. Depends on your driving habits. But the money you save in fuel will eventually goes to battery replacement since we all know battery degrades overtime. It will cost you a fortune in replacing such battery.
i felt cheated on the head unit. I bought a Fortuner V 2023 for ₱2M this July and its headunit doesn't support wireless android auto. The head unit looks outdated compare to the yaris cross.
@@streamingvideo6654 tama lang ung laki nya, 8 inch. Pero ang hirap nung walang built in nav or wireless android auto ung headunit. A ₱2M car without a wireless android auto compared to ₱1.6M unit with a wireless android auto feature. Di ba parang ang sakit hahaha.
Thats how our car doors sound when you close it 😂 so when husband and I saw Nissan Kicks displayed in a mall we were wowed with how the door close sounded, it sounded expensive 😂
Hybrid car is the best option now a days than electric and diesel in terms of economy low emission and practicality. Here in abroad most drivers are use to it. Kahit maingay eto Dahil sa cvt transmission. Long range Gas mileage Low emission Long warranty ( up to 10 years) Can live both urban and rural. In performance and power Wala siya against sa mga other brands. No need na iyan lalo na sa pinas trapik at 80 kph Lang ang highway or below pa. Pero kung gusto mo ng more power piliin mo ang 2.0 engine enough na iyan sa pinas( 187bhp-208bhp). Hindi naman pagkarera yon sasakyan. Work busines family and passenger use eto. Maliban Lang kung elephant foot paa mo. Hindi sanay sa mabagal na car. Hindi para sayo etong klaseng car. Lalo na sa annoying sound ng cvt. Pero sa quality and advance behind na ang normal transmission ngayon automatic o manual. Dahil less maintenance na eto kay sa old design car. Longevity nito are 100% or more Pa vs old design transmission. Computer electronics na halos ang function nito. Pero Yong basic dirty maintenance jan pa rin. Oil change Filters change Valves cleaning Tyres Brakes Throttle DPF Lahat madali Lang na repair cleaning and replacement. Kahit ikaw na ang gagawa. Basta sundin mo at basahin ang manual book nito. About computer diagnose my obd2 na mabibili na. Or the best yearly service sa casa para safe. Kaya here in abroad Lexus and Toyota extended there warranty up to 10 years. Pero sa pinas 5 years, Dahil depende saan gawa ang mga Toyota jan kung saan country eto galing. Mostly gawa sa Japan at Europe ang nandito. Aywan ko sa pinas. Dahil iba and design at tawag sa mga model jan. Maliban sa mga legend model ng Toyota Hilux ( some din sa ibang bansa different version hilux) Land Cruiser ( mostly Japan made) Corolla ( sedan some ibang country din hatch back) Supra ( Europe Japan) GT 86( Japan) I’m a Toyota Lexus Yamaha fun boy now .😁 My previous cars BMW Vauxhall Renault Land Rover. Sangkadamakmal na repair at spare parts replacement sila. Pinak worst transmission at crack engine oil and radiator leaks misfire battery flat alternator solenoid worn out low power clogs vibration noisy. Hindi masyadong nag change etong brands na eto. Puro high performance luxury At technology outlook Lang. Hindi gaya sa Toyota Lexus major upgrade and change talaga. From bad high emissions bad fuel economy and bad quality unreliability expensive to reliable quality affordability availability longevity economical practicality low emissions and less maintenance. Sa panahon ngayon hindi performance at luxury. The true quality ang basi Han ng machine hindi Yong outside looks cosmetics and electronics nito. In my opinion that model luxurious design na iyan. Walang Pag ka iba sa European Toyota. Mas mura jan kay sa dito( mataas tax here).
This Yaris Cross along with the Vios AC100, Veloz, Raize, Wigo, Avanza, and Liteace are all built by Daihatsu for Toyota. Daihatsu is Toyota’s subsidiary.
Not only the door closeing sounds herendos the whole car rattles on uneven roads I bought one in thialand 6 weeks ago but I reilse I’ve made a big mistake
I rate toyotas tech to zero compared to China cars.. Such a very low tech car knowing the cars price is expensive.. chinas car is dominating technology when it comes to cars gatgets etc..
91ps ~ 90 US horsepower + ~80 US HP from the electric engine = ~170 US horsepower? Is it really? I doubt this is the case. I've been driving a Toyota Prius Gen III for 10 years now. I like the hybrid engine and that it can run 2 miles or so, ONLY at certain speeds like 20 mph or less on battery power alone. Useful in bumper to bumper traffic but if the traffic takes a bit longer and you run out of battery from braking, it switches to gas until you fill the battery again from braking. I think the Prius' AC runs solely on battery so you can turn it on full blast so I think this car should also share the same tech. This seems like a great option for Philippines' roads. It's subcompact with a bit of ground clearance. But it can't be ~170 US horsepower. Take note PS is not horsepower to your Fil-Am viewers. Caveat from being a long time Prius owner : engine's battery will have to be replaced just like normal car battery and it's expensive. Mahal sa US pero baka mura sa atin in the future. Also pag nag mature na ang hybrid market dito baka madami na mekaniko certified for hybrid engines. Also you probably will not keep this vehicle that long so you won't need to worry about replacing the battery. But that is the caveat for owning a Hybrid vehicle, you get upfront savings from gas yet you need to save money for the replacement battery if you intend to keep it forever. I currently have 115,000 miles on my 2015 Prius . I intend to keep it for as long as I can as a backup car when California law bans sale of all gas-powered car by 2030s. Kailangan may backup na gas powered. So I am now thinking of saving for the cost of battery replacement.
I thought it was underpower, but I don't know how it is even possible. So I try this car on the most difficult medium off-road level in Cambodia (Search up Koh Kong road) And this car can climb a fxcking mountain with slippery mud, rocky road, red dirt and even stiff hill. I have no problem crossing these terrain with my Yaris cross (Gasoline version in Cambodia) My Mazda CX-5 still struggle with AWD, but my Yaris cross do it all very easily. (just how the fxck?) But on the expressway, it was so slow when it first accelerated, but it caught up pretty quickly. Edited: What I don't like about it is the freaking door, it feels too thin and not solid while all the other parts are so solid? Why just freaking why?
i completely agree, after the 2014 fortuner black edition, this is the first toyota that ive wanted to purchase since, it has all u need, and its very gas efficient
If you buy the Yaris cross you will regret it. I purchased one 6 weeks ago and the only good thing I can say about it is you can get 3 water bottles in the door.i also have owned the Corolla cross hybrid for 2 & half year and it is a better car in every aspect
There is a perfect car or me.. exterior and interiorwise... that is the civic RS 2019 to 2021... because the first release had no physical volume control...
@streamingvideo6654 was pondering between the UX and the LBX for a daily. Was surprised when the LBX came out - thought thr UX was small to begin with 🙂
I can't believe it, why isn't this model coming to Turkey or are they imposing the turtle version of the same model? I'm calling out to Japan Toyota from here, please make sure this Yaris Cross car comes to Turkey, be sure there will be a record sales boom than the 2015-2016 sales of Corolla👍🏻 🇹🇷🤝🇯🇵👌🙋🏻♂️
hello. is this vehicle different to the vehicle in the video linked here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PL4F0cLe2a0.html 2024 Toyota Yaris Cross First Impressions | AutoDeal Walkaround ?? Urgent query??
Interesting. I ordered an European Yaris Cross to be delivered in August coming. I think the European Yaris is manufactured in France . Except for the front grill the inside looks similar to the European one. I live in the Netherlands by the way . Excellent video 👏👏👏
This is good car. One of the BEST among its Crossover competitors.❤ Interior & Exterior Design are so cool. Features are almost the same with Cheap Chinese-brand cars. Overall, this is a great value for money compare to other crossovers. Well done Toyota😊
Hi sir, i egularly watch and enjoy your videos. Just a comment though, hope you can lessen your hand gesturea when you speak especially when you're driving. IT's just a little annoying for me. Thanks
this version is much better and has a way better design than the global one, and I regret this one is not available in Europe. Global version has a very ugly front and 3-cyl 1.5L engine which works like a tractor and the interior look much cheaper
