Toyota Yaris Cross Review 

Did you make long trips with it? If so how did you find it?

@@stacattos maybe four hours, great.

Thank you Richard for your comment. I am glad you enjoyed the review.

Asked question in Toyota Ireland 3D camera not available in this model. what the story with Ireland being short change only available with RAVA4, corolla and higher model. at much higher price.

So how are you finding it? Comfort (suspension damping over potholes), engine/transmission noise (roar), wind noise? What is the colour of the headlining? In this video the headlining is light. I have been advised by a main dealer that they are now only available in black/dark grey; that makes for a terribly gloomy interior.

Thank you very much for your comment. Sounds like you've found yourself the perfect car for you and your family.

I love mine but I have to concede that the Honda Jazz has a better interior (a friend and I ordered at the same time).

@@daxx10 Many people seem to buy a car without looking around at what the competition has to offer... We switched from a Toyota Yaris to a.... Right: Honda Jazz.😊

You must have driven so right shitters if you thinktoymotor had grunty engines in the 70s and 8ps. Maybe their absolute halo models. But their averwge cars were heaps of shit engine wise.

Thank you Roger. I am glad you enjoyed it.

...this is nice to hear. Did you order this in the UK? I have a 5-6month wait for one in the UK and all I see is the generic stuff online with very little details. I have seen the "middle East" version on youtube with a c-charger rather than the usual usb charger, and a different dashboard display. Any other surprises?

@@bobbe7910 i order it in Serbia. Although I did get the one that was already on its way to the car dealer. Knowing the fact that it’s very hard these days to get a car that you want in short term. I was lucky 😅 no c charger tho. Only the classic USB one. Anyways I’m very pleased with my Toyota. Good deal overall

yes

Yes, it does bring it down to 8" for reasons best known to them.

Oiy am a cydre drinker! 🚜

True. Silver myself as well. Choice of white, black, grey, silver, another white or red.

Thank you so much for your comment. Afraid I have no say in which trim level I get from the manufacturer, which is why I put my recommendations forward. Sometimes I am fortunate to get a base or mid spec car (Kia EV6) which does help buyers make that final choice. Hope you still enjoy the channel. Thank you.

@AutoBears True that the manufacturers only want to show off the top spec. It's why my nearest Toyota only displayed the GR version of this car and the same type of spec for the Corolla. Even the Toyota sales guy said last month that he doesn't understand why Toyota doesn't just put a mid spec on display, as it will be more honest with what the customer can afford. Great channel and reviews still. On second thought and as you say, you had no say which model they provided, so I shouldn't allow that to stop me from watching. My dissatisfaction should be aimed at Toyota or whoever supplies the car, not at your channel. I highly recommend viewers stay tuned with this channel. Great content and the presentation are equally the same.

They review what the maker gives them. Talk about first world problems.

Not yet , fuk boy

The Corolla is a different animal to the Yaris Cross. Much more refined and a great handling car. It feels much more premium too. It is worth the extra cost.

@@AutoBears Thank you!

@@mftgdeserteagle you are welcome. Please check out my review of the new 2023 Corolla.

@@AutoBears I have, thank you. Btw, I also noticed you reviewed the MG4, which is also on my list. Apart from the eletric vs hybrid different, which would you say is the better car and why?

@@mftgdeserteagle I would go with the Corolla if it was my money. It’s a very refined and comfortable car with more range on a tank. Very frugal and quiet around town.

Thank you for your comment. The far back one does but it’s an easy move to get it out of the way. It is nice and low.

Upgrades are now public, we ordered the Urban as a townie & have been informed of the new specs plus the extra $850 price.

@@Hydrnaught Yes, that sounds accurate. My dealership, in Australia, quoted some $900 extra. Thanks for your reply!

Strange. Mine's the Dynamic and I wouldn't swap for that tiny display.

Hi there Anthony. My video was correct at the time of recording and I got my information from Toyota UK. I was even working at a Toyota/Lexus at the time. Hope that helps.

The hybrid system is great on the Yaris Cross and yes, having a CVT does mean it likes to rev. But I did find it settled quickly. A huge improvement over Toyotas of old. Thank you for your comment.

I will soon be having a test drive and will follow up on here with my opinion. A lot of people are very critical of eCVT/CVT engine/transmissions. It's all relative, but coming from a conventional (very smooth) torque converter auto gearbox, I expect the Yaris Cross may be a bit loud/rough...but I will keep an open mind.

Thank you for your comment. It’s the way of the world now where people think of aesthetics more than the economy.

I'm 5'7 tall and 5'7 wide! Hope that's helpful.

​@@AutoBearsthis made me laugh out loud

I have the latest yaris cross excel and the rear space is just is a great bonus 👋🏻

Hi there Gary. I believe it’s 3 years now as you have their new Relax Warranty.

@@AutoBears well done auto bear love your reviews 👍

Always been a backward country!

Thank you for you comment Edwin. It’s a little intrusive under load but quieter than the Honda HR-V.

​@@AutoBearsBeen looking at the HR-V, the boot space is also terrible for the vehicle size.

Sounds terrible?….nowhere near as terrible as your whinging sounds! 🙄

Hey there Mr D. No need to apologise. Everyone has their own opinion. I think it looks a lot better than Toyotas of old.

The rear looks tidy, but that front looks like the old Kia models 🤮. Apparently there is an updated version on the way (in Asia), probably not reach the UK for another year 🙄.

Well some people unfortunately do have dodgy / wonky eyes, so don’t apologise for yourself!
