Toyota Yaris Cross Hybrid - real-life fuel economy tested by a professional eco-driver 

Thank you!

Thank you!

You're welcome.

Thanks, and thanks :)

You're welcome!

Thx.

In terms of efficiency Toyota is really the benchmark at the moment. If you drive it as you obviously drive your Honda you easily beat my numbers :)

Until 2017 I used to run the same Honda car, again with Michelin energy savers, and the average was almost exactly the same - 4.43l/100Km over 4 1/2 years. The main feature is that it was a good cruiser, with low aerodynamic drag - but not so good at short urban journeys. Then I replaced it with the previous Toyota Yaris hybrid with the 4 cylinder 1.5, which is almost the other way round - pretty much like the new Yaris Cross. The one I run is on Continental premium 2 tyres, which are not the best for rolling resistance. My experience of it is in line with the one demonstrated here, though. I think the new one is probably better, with a larger traction battery and motor - there are quite a few downhill sections on which the battery becomes full and thus engine braking is required, e.g.

Yes, leave motorway out and stay below 3 easily! :)

@@ecodriver1746 still fantastic in my head. It shows clearly the technical development. (They had) lot of engineering work to do, but finally it results perfect achievements.

Thanks! I'm quite sure that the Corolla Cross will be tested soon ;)

Thanks!

Thank you, well I think they don't care about me :) I'll try to get the Kia ;)

Thank you! RAV4 Prime should be here soon, I heard end of March will be deliveries. In Europe you basically only get either 95 octane or to a lesser extent 97. With the Atkinson-Engines in Toyota Hybrids a low octane petrol is fine

@@ecodriver1746 Thankyou

Thank you, you're welcome. I can't say yet which cars I get next, I'm always depending on dealers what they have available.

Thanks. 1. eco 2. difficult to say, both cars have plus and minus. For efficiency probably Toyota, for space HRV.

Thanks! S-Cross is definitely a good car, but personally I'd prefer the Yaris Cross in the Hybrid Version as I just generally like hybrids and Toyota's is - at least in my opinion - the best hybrid drivetrain out there.

@@ecodriver1746 Thank you 👍

You choose between the right ones. Ford is close to Toyota when it comes to efficiency as their hybrid drivetrain is set up similar to Toyotas HSD. Either way, you don't do wrong ;)

Probably in two weeks

Innsbruck in the austrian province of Tyrol.

You can use either way

You never ever use N in trafic NEVER. if you're lazy to hold the brake then use auto hold

non hibrid in city gets around 7%

A new car is often less efficient then when it has some miles on it. Also do you drive mostly on the highway and is it cold there?

Every new car has higher gasoline consumption.. That's normal because the ecu is learning your style of driving it may take 2000 to 8000km it depends how you drive before it get to the normal.

If I get one I'll happily do.

I will test this car next week, video will be online in about 4 weeks.

@@ecodriver1746 brilliant..thank you very much for replying ..looking forward for your review mpg test honda hrv 1.5 hybrid

Oh dear, thanks, corrected...

Hi, firstly I guess the shape, but it could also be factors like wind (head or tail), other traffic, etc. Those differences are not really significant, smallest differences may play a big role.

@@ecodriver1746 I'm driving a lot of miles on the highway and I'm considering the yaris cross and the chr. I like the design of the yaris cross much more but I want to a economical as possible on the highway..

I think (without any scientific data) that the CHR is slightly more aerodynamic.

I liked the idea of a small SUV but the Corolla saloon or Hatch is probably much more efficient? Have u tested the Corolla ? Thank you for these great videos. I get a bit lost when u say not to brake so much because it creates too much regeneration so petrol is used ? Maybe if I watch it a few times I’ll understand.

Hi, I've tested the Corolla Station Wagon/Suzuki Swace. What you probably refer to is on the descent. If you use "B" the car starts the petrol engine to support the braking.

normally not, as it makes no difference for Regen (whether you use B or the brake-pedal). On a downhill like this with some flat bits in between I coast most of the time, so it's more comfortable to not use B. Also, in B the petrol-engine often kicks in to assist with braking, which isn't needed here.

These are the speed limits and this is how they test fuel consumption. If you go twice as fast you end up consuming four times more. If you like going fast buy a sport car.

This is the most unrealistic comment I have seen in a long time. Guess you dont drive in Europe if you dont drive 50 in cities.

@@debayanchakraborty5446 Italy. 50 really if the street is busy otherwise it's very rare. 60-70 are way more common
