Today, I'll show you some cool features of the updated Toyota Yaris Cross. Let's start with the boot—check this out: I've stashed the load cover underneath, and it's easy to attach for added convenience. All models now come with adaptive cruise control as standard, allowing you to maintain a safe distance from the car ahead, and Lane Keeping Assist to help keep you centered in your lane.
The Yaris Cross also offers a unique option: an additional electric motor on the rear axle for four-wheel drive, something its competitors don't offer. Inside, the front seats have a quick recline lever for easy adjustment, and Toyota has made the cabin quieter with a thicker windshield and added insulation.
While the exterior design remains unchanged, I still find it appealing, especially with different trims like the sporty GR version or the chrome-accented Premier version. The car is equipped with features like alloy wheels, black roof bars, and two-tone body paint options on higher trims.

Prices start from £55,000, with this model just over £27,000. You can save up to £25,000 on a Yaris Cross through Carwow. If you want to sell your car quickly and easily, Carwow can help with that too.
The Yaris Cross interior now features an updated infotainment screen with faster response, better graphics, and both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The materials inside vary, with some areas feeling a bit flimsy, but overall, the seating position is comfortable. In the back, there's decent headroom and foot space, although the narrow body makes it a bit tight for three adults.
The boot offers 350 liters of space, which is smaller than some competitors, but it includes useful features like hooks and through-loading capability. However, there are some minor annoyances, like blanked-out switches, a lack of USB ports in the back, and a fuel filler cap that requires manual operation.

The Yaris Cross's engine range now includes a new 130 horsepower option, along with the standard 116 horsepower version. Both are equipped with a CVT automatic gearbox. The hybrid system makes city driving smooth and efficient, with a quiet ride in EV mode.
On the road, the Yaris Cross feels light and agile, though not particularly quick. It handles well for a small SUV, and the fuel economy is impressive, averaging around 57 MPG. Overall, the Toyota Yaris Cross is a solid, economical choice for a small family SUV.
