CarTell take

We haven't driven the Yaris Cross yet. On paper, urban Hybrid AWD at $39,930 plus on-roads overlaps the larger Corolla Cross. If space matters more than footprint, step up.

Why consider it

  • Segment fuel champion at 3.8 L/100 km on the hybrid, 390 L boot is class-leading at the price, Toyota Safety Sense 3 standard across the range.

What to know

  • 400 kg braked tow is the smallest in the segment.
  • The 1.5L three-cylinder petrol is noisier than rivals, and hybrid waitlists can still run 6 months or more.

Who it suits

Inner-city drivers, hybrid first-timers and first-car buyers who want sub-4.2 m length with a class-leading boot and a real hybrid claim.
