Toyota Yaris Cross (2021-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
The hybrid sips fuel, especially around town	Quite cramped in the back
Promises the first-rate reliability you'd expect of Toyota	The 4x4 version has less luggage room
Lots of boot space for a small car	Not as much fun to drive as a Ford Puma

Quick Summary

The Toyota Yaris Cross (2021-present) is a compact SUV designed to combine the town-friendly footprint of a hatchback with improved interior space and a tall driving position. As a jacked-up version of the popular Yaris hatchback, it enters a competitive market against rivals like the Ford Puma and Renault Captur. It features chunky, fresh styling and an interior that, while similar to the Yaris, uses high-quality plastics and is well-built, though perhaps a little understated.

Power comes from an efficient 1.5-litre self-charging hybrid powertrain paired with a CVT gearbox, delivering around 114bhp (with a 128bhp option from 2024 for higher trims). It sips fuel, especially in urban settings, achieving 55-60 mpg for FWD models. While not as engaging to drive as some rivals, it offers a tranquil ride, though it can be firm over harsher potholes. It boasts a respectable 397 litres of boot space, with clever split-level boot floors available on higher trims, and benefits from Toyota's renowned reliability and a metal timing chain, contributing to low running costs.

Best for: Drivers prioritising reliability, fuel efficiency (especially in town), and a practical compact SUV with good boot space.

Not ideal for: Buyers seeking engaging driving dynamics (like a Ford Puma), maximum rear passenger space, or the softest ride comfort.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Yaris Cross if: You prioritise reliability, fuel efficiency (especially in town), and a practical compact SUV with good boot space.

Consider alternatives if: You seek engaging driving dynamics (like a Ford Puma), maximum rear passenger space, or the softest ride comfort.

Competitive Position: The Toyota Yaris Cross is a strong contender in the compact SUV market, particularly for buyers who value reliability, low running costs, and strong fuel economy from its hybrid powertrain. While it may not offer the most exciting driving experience or the most spacious rear seats compared to some rivals, its practicality, robust build quality, and Toyota's reputation for dependability make it a highly sensible and appealing choice for those seeking a practical and efficient small SUV.
