The yaris

I have had one of these for 8 months. It’s a great 2 people car. I never drive in B mode as per the owner’s manual. Just did a 2200 km road trip in Australia including 500kms on the first day and 750 kms on the last day. Quite comfortable and good on dirt roads. Fuel economy around 4.9 l/100kms highway. Back in town it can easily give you 3.6 l/100kms. There’s a lot of tech in this car.

Rear legroom is a bit tight for adults with driver’s seat back. I’m 187cms. My feeling is, with 3 kids, might be slightly too squeezy. When we went to Esperance, we took the false floor out of the boot ( luggage compartment) to fit our stuff in and had some bags on the back seat as well.

11:20 B mode in Toyota hybrids is for increasing engine braking from the combustion engine. If you want more regen, just press the brake. On the power gauge you can tell when you’re recharging the battery or discharging, and you’ll notice putting it into B mode makes no difference to the charging, but pressing the brake pedal does.

@demagab

B actually reduces fuel economy in everyday driving, because it primarily uses the engine compression force, even before using regen braking. It should only be used down long downhills, so it doesn't put too much strain on the battery and hybrid system and also by having the engine spin, it doesn't drop its temperature and won't need an unnecessary restart afterwards

Watching from Kenya 🇰🇪 I love the reviews

11:19 This is FALSE. The B-mode increases engine braking done by the internal combustion engine. Essentially, it makes the hybrid system emulate a normal transmission in a low gear. It's supposed to be used in situations where there's a possibility of overheating the brakes, like when descending down a mountain. B-mode doesn't increase battery regeneration, in fact it reduces it to prevent overcharging when going downhill for a long time, so it's pointless to keep it enabled while driving around town.

Never waited this long for you to review a car. Tank you

Hi After three months of driving the Yaris Cross Hybrid, here are my main likes & dislikes: Likes: 1.Easy to drive from day one. It gives you the feeling of knowing the car. 2.Very good fuel consumption: 3.5 lit/100 km city driving and around 5 lit/100 km highway driving at 120-130 km/h 3.Value for Money Dislike: 1.Engine noise (you get used to it or accept it) 2.Not enough trunk space, especially if you get rid of the useless repair kit and replace it with a spare tire. 3.No welcome home lights……it gets really dark I need to point out that when driving on the motorway with +160Km/h, fuel consumption disappointed me. I was expecting lower values…..but okay, understandable…. For the Greek market, considering all aspects, the Yaris Cross is by far the best choice.

Hi Mat, always fun and informative to watch your content.. question though..could you please also do a review with a ''light'' offroad test with a 2022 Aygo X. i'm looking to buy one and give it the ''lifted'' treatment through a German company who offers a spacer kit for the suspension. Now as you might be aware of the lifted Subaru's and Mercedes 4x4 vans and even the prius that get lifted in the USA and lightbars get added..it might just be cool (i'd love) to see you show us what a small car could do from the factory or even with some quality TUV parts added in the form of a slight lift, maybe even with some meaty tyres? Keep bringing us great content, Cheers.. Rubem from the Netherlands

It's a lovely car for what its intended to do - namely driving around the town and for short journeys to and from work and the shops. The seating position is excellent - you sit high up and it's very, very comfortable. Being a hybrid also gives you great fuel economy. We're averaging over 65 mph at present. Downsides? It is a little noisy when revved hard but nothing too bad. Our 18 inch wheels rumble over some potholes and the suspension is a bit hard but as Matt says it's really not too bad and a very minor issue if at all. Room in the back isn't great although fine for children. The boot is more than adequate. It's quite fun to drive too and although not a fast, sporty vehicle is responsive and grips the road well. All in all it's just what we (a retired couple) wanted and together with Toyota's reliability and solid build it should prove a durable buy. One last thing. Our model has numerous safety features that can be turned off if needs be but they can sometimes become a little irritating. That said, it's great to know that the car has high safety standards and comforting for drivers and pedestrians alike. A fair review, Matt. We agree fully. It's a lovely little urban car and one that we recommend thoroughly. Does what it says on the tin and so economical.

Great comment - very helpful! Thanks! I wonder whether it'd be a good car for cross-country trips too...

I own an excel. I agree about the suspension and road noise on some surfaces. Not being used to CVT I took a while to get used to the way the engine comes in and out without permission. I do like the ca , it gives on average around 63 mpg taking it easy and on a run back from Cornwall on the M5/M4 it averaged 61.1 mpg cruising around the 70 mark, fully landed with holiday gear , two border Collies and my wife. The tester did not mention that the car has three driving modes apart from the all electric button, One is dead eco and the car behaves very slow on picking up, the second is the default which is normal. the third is a sort of sport mode which throws eco out of the widow. As I said before, I like the car and its growing on me as I get used to it. This is not a car for boy racers, its for people who spend most of their time on short runs, but sometimes need to drive a long way without getting a head or back ache. Above all it carries a ten year warranty called Relax, this though does requires dealer servicing to qualify. To be honest, with the technology in this car I believe that dealer servicing is essential ,as its very tech and computer controlled. As pointed out elsewhere, engaging B when driving down hills brings in the engine for braking, it does not actuate the injectors or the spark plugs until you press the accelerator pedal. It also does not increase regenerative braking, just saves your brake pads on steep hills.

This car has one fault, it's so incredibly expensive, you can buy Similarly equipped Rav4s for $2000 more in Australia

The B gear is not for more regen, but for more engine braking. It will cause the car to use the petrol engine to slow down the car and is meant to be used when going down long downhills on mountains. Using it in normal driving will cause worse fuel economy and less regen into the battery.

My 2006 Yaris still runs like new, and never had massive problems with it. In two years i only had one incident with it when i couldnt drive it, and it was because the battery died. This car is invincible, I swear. Seeing how well this 16 year old car performs, I want to stick to Yaris in the future too.

I don't blame you and other KZread reviewers, for misunderstanding what the 'B mode' on the transmission truly does and when - and when NOT - to use it. Because Toyota dealers can be pretty clueless themselves when you ask them about it. I bought the new Yaris Hybrid last year. I've watched car reviewers testdrive the hybrid in the city with the B mode setting chosed, which means the car constantly loses speed when you aren't pressing the accelerator - and it gives you a worse fuel economy as well. They thought B stood for improved regenerative breaking as well.

I didn’t know pigeon street turn ups were back in fashion. Good informative video

Love it!! 🤩 going to the website now for it!

I have tested this car too. The most complete version. The weakest point is the engine. Starting 60 km/h and higher it makes noise during the acceleration. It must be a stronger engine for this car weight.

I realy like the design off the Yaris cross and the Way it look at the back! I would clearly prefer it as a family car.

Fantastic video Mat!😸

I work for Toyota and was at the head office in burgh heath 2 weeks ago and actually B mode doesn’t do any regenerative it actually disengages MG1 and the energy saved/ regenerate from the bakes actually just get wasted and not put back into the battery!!

Good afternoon Mat. A great review as always. I have a question to ask you. Do you think a Yaris Cross AWD is better than an FWD to compromise on space, price and fuel consumption? Or an AWD is a minor thing and an FWD should be the first choice?

@coreldan

Жыл бұрын

I suppose it would come down to if you feel you need the AWD, as in have to drive in areas where a FWD will struggle. The AWD might have better suspension in the back, but you trade away trunk space, fuel consumption and several reviewers have said that somehow the FWD version actually drove better in regular conditions.

The yaris cross earned 5 star safety in euro ncap crash test.

1:04 the black cladding part is for safety when the car gets hit from the rear it will take the force and also for saving your money when you get small knock from cars from the rear when there is slow traffic.

I’m sure Toyota gave a flimsy load cover to the Yaris Cross, because they know if they hadn’t Mat would’ve thrown it in the bushes 😂😂😂

Hi, in Australia this car currently has no centre console armrest on any variant - and the top spec 'Urban' also has an ugly brown interior. For us that was a deal breaker. I hope in 2022, we get a Yaris cross with an armrest and a better interior.

Toyota hybrids are designed to give the driver maximum control over the vehicle, including driving dynamics, and this is ultimately the purpose of the ‘D’ and ‘B’ modes that sometimes confuse clients. Put simply, the ‘D’ mode is for normal driving, and ‘B’ mode should be used when you are going downhill. Why does a hybrid need to two separate modes for driving and going downhill? When driving down a steep, continuous grade, especially one with curves, you will use the brakes frequently. The ‘B’ mode in our Hybrid vehicles changes handling to give you better control in this situation.

During my test drive I was averaging 65 mpg and was automatically in EV mode approx 50% of the time?….Note: 10 year warranty if you continue to service at a Toyota Dealership 👍

Purchased a Yaris Cross Design with the SUV pack couldn’t be happier. Yes, the higher specs will have things that you need, but the car is definitely a lovely car. Downsides are: The window buttons needs lights and there is a lack of lights at the rear. It also does not have front seat rear pockets. The safety features are amazing, loving how easy it is to drive. Looks stunning and feels very good.

I’ve just collected my wife’s Yaris Excel a week ago. We love it so much I’ve just test driven and ordered a Yaris Cross for delivery October. I also test drove the Corolla but didn’t like it after owning my Skoda Yeti. Too low and too sporty firm ride in the GR model trim.

Ayyyyyyyy a normal car review at last👌👌

I really like Toyota's new style of cars. And they're still reliable!!!

We need a Yaris Cross GR-TRD

When are you doing a review of the face lifted Hyundai i30N Performance? We need to see it!

In Singapore we have the Yaris Cross in early 2020, but i have only noticed it now.

Now imagine a GR Cross Yaris I don’t know if there is a market for this, but it would be pretty cool i think.

I'm sure there will be, at least in Japan. If the Prius Prime can get a GR makeover then surely this will!

Mat had reviewed the Yaris hatchback also sometime ago. It had such a bad build on the outside that you could dent it with a small hit and when closing the door it made sound of metal. Is the build quality similar on this Yaris Cross also?

nice

It's a really beautiful car! The drawbacks are minor. I would choose it over a Peugeot 2008 because of efficiency, reliability and more normal cockpit. And it is a good choice for most people, who cannot afford superexpensive EVs. My only question is: Is the motor punchy enough to drive comfortably on mountain roads and elevated streets?

It is a little bit louder when going uphill because it is cvt... But it is very good to drive on twisty roads.. even mountain roads. Very precise and light for that kind of car. It is light car so its got enough power. When you accelerate hard, you also hear cvt quite enough, but nothing bad. The biggest drawback is wind noise on speeds above 120 km/h. But you get used to that. If you have good music in there.. you dont even think about it.

Yeah the power is more than enough for all situations. Toyota hybrids are good to drive

I’m very much a crossover guy, love them! They just have more style and character than you’re typically family / full sized SUV. I would love a Yaris Cross as my first car and if you are getting one, I recommend getting in the dark gold colour they launched the car with. Beautiful colour! So yeah, great little car, hybrid too which is a big win. Car makers need to market their hybrids as much as their EVs. People who are still worried about range tend to not realise they can have a best-of-both worlds workhorse.
