Toyota Yaris Cross, just by saying its name can intuit which concept introduces the car we tried this week.This is a crossover model that takes as a starting point the mythical Yaris, one of the most popular utilities in the market.
It would be positioned in the range just below the Toyota C-HR and above the Aygo X that is about to arrive, planting face to the hard rivals of the B-SUV segment.Does it with a starting price of 23.350 euros and with the following qualities:
Given the enormous demand of the SUV, it was rare that Toyota was not in one of the most popular segments.Even if it's late, he arrives strong with a product that is called to be a superventas.
Use the same TNGA-B modular platform as the normal yaris, with which it shares assembly line in France.Another differential factor is that it is only available in hybrid format and can optionally carry total traction, being probably the reason that can make you exceed other rivals without that option.
Although he has the Yaris denomination in his name, the truth is that at the aesthetic level he reminds us more to a Toyota Rav4 for his level of robustness and his most marked lines, for example, with those steps of such square wheel.It becomes full -right crossover thanks marked details such as prominent bumpers and with silver defenses, ceiling bars or bass of the body in black plastic, which also include the inscription with the name of the model in the lower part of the doorsrear.
That has the same technical base as yaris, does not mean that they share dimensions.Toyota Yaris Cross keeps the axes of axes of 2.560 mm, but grows in the rest of measures notably.In fact, it is up to 24 cm longer than the conventional yaris, adding 6 cm in the front and 18 cm in the rear.Stays in this way with a length of 4.180 mm, a 1 width of 1.765 mm and a height of 1.560 mm, another substantial difference.
Other details that must be mentioned in the design of the Toyota Yaris Cross are this high front, in which the LED headlights appear in a predominant position.Between them is the brand logo and below a specific grill.The antiniebla are integrated into the previously appointed bumper.On the other hand, in the rear, the highlights are the rear pilots integrated into a dark molding.
Personalization options are also generous in the Toyota Yaris Cross.It offers up to 9 body colors to choose from, highlighting the new and exclusive golden "Bass Gold" that carries our unit.It also allows to combine with black, white or gold contrast on the ceiling, mirrors and pillars to achieve this bito effect to complete the range with 15 options.The tires range from 16 to 18 inches and there are also several designs to choose from.
If we saw that it was quite groundbreaking, the truth is that we can't say the same thing from the interior.Here it is very similar to his twin brother, although his multimedia system improves and can offer the 9 -inch touch screen that appears in this unit.It is more capable than the 8 -inch series and stands out for its advanced graphics or for its ease of use.Also for its connectivity both with Apple Carplay and with Android Auto in wireless way.
Luckily it is not all tactile and the analog air conditioning controls are maintained.If we continue talking about infotainment, this yaris cross has a mixed instrumentation with a 7 -inch screen in the center of the great sphere of speed.It is something simple, but correctly shows the different information of the on -board computer.In addition, it can be complemented with a 10-inch head-up head.
If we talk about quality, we have to say that it is a correct model, a generalist who meets without making unnecessary flats.As in the rest of the brand specimens, you can see finishes that seem solid and that will resist well to the passage of time.There are enough hard plastics, but they are not unpleasant to touch.The only thing that tarnishes the set would be the black piano of the intermediate zone and central console.On the contrary, the upholstery and the upper part of the dashboard stand out for good.
In the Yaris Cross a greater habitability can be expected than in normal yaris.A priori it is already beginning to be noticed in the front seats, where we see a higher 63 mm driving position than in a normal yaris and a generous free height to the ceiling that makes it suitable for all types of statures.We also find a good number of gaps, highlighting the one that is below the screen and that of the central console, in addition to the usual ones on the doors and the glove compartment.
Access to the second row of seats is not too comfortable due to the low opening of the doors.Once inside, we find quite correct rear seats, with legs for the legs and head in the case of users around 1.70.It is true that from 1.85 meters the space will be fair, just as it should be clarified that the central square lacks shape and is furrowed by a transmission tunnel.Better travel four adults than five in this Toyota Yaris Cross.

The trunk of this model is also larger than that of the yaris from which it starts.Approval 397 liters, which would be equivalent to 104 liters more than in the utility.Of course, in the case of opting for a version with total traction, 77 liters are lost, leaving a capacity of 320 liters due to the position of the second electric motor.This is the case of our unit and, as can be seen, despite the reduction of space, it is still quite achieved by its straight and usable lines.
There are other benefits in the trunk of Toyota Yaris Cross.Your gate can have hands -free opening and in the front -wheel drive there is an apartment that can be placed at two heights to get a very useful double bottom.In any case, the spare wheel is not offered in any version you have to settle for the antipinhazos kit.The highest range can reduce their seats in three parts (40:20:40) to leave a flat surface of up to 1.097 liters of capacity.
The Toyota Yaris Cross also has many options in its equipment, as up to five different finishes are available.Already standard shows a fairly complete endowment, as it is started with the Business Plus to add elements such as 16 -inch tires, rear LED intermittent, multimedia system with 8 -inch screen and connectivity with Apple Carplay and Android Auto, leather multifunction steering wheel, leather flywheel,fabric upholstery, electric windows or slope start assistant.
It is followed by the Active Tech finish, which adds 17 -inch wheels, LED headlights, access without key, 7 -inch screen instrumentation, in addition to two options between 9 -inch main screen with browser and wireless connectivity and base connectivityInductive load (Connect Pack) or 360º vision system, hands-free gate and rear pre-collision automatic braking (comfort pack).
It is followed by the Style finish to stand as the Connect pack, 18 -inch wheels, heated seats, mixed upholstery, second folding row in three parts (40:20:40), Environmental lighting or Bizona aircraft.On the other hand, the Adventure finish adds the bito paint, with ceiling bars and black plastic moldings with 18 -inch tires in two tones.Leather upholstery is specific and has a multibrazo rear suspension, because it is only available with total AWD-I traction.
The range of range at the moment is the Premiere Edition, the special launch version, which is the one that wears our test unit.In this case, exterior paint and 18 -inch tires are specific, as are the upholstery or matching moldings.They are followed by the Head-Up Display, the automatic gate, the Eight speakers JBL sound system and is also offered only in the total traction versions.
In our market, the Toyota Yaris Cross is only available with the brand's hybrid propulsion system.It is the one that corresponds to the fourth generation and makes the DGT echo label win.Combines a three -cylinder mechanic and 1.5 liters 92 hp atkinson cycle with a small 59 kW (80 hp) electrical block.There is an AWD-I total version that introduces a second electric motor to move the rear axle.In any case, the transmission is the usual planetary gear e-CVT and the joint 116 hp power.
Our unit has total traction, so we will explain how it works.This is a second electric motor size and just over 7 hp that works independently.Does not modify the total power with respect to the front -wheel drive because the battery and the electrical system are the same.Its operation is limited to low speeds.It is acting permanently between 0 and 10 km/h, while between 10 and 70 km/h only function at when the front wheels lose adherence.It also has several driving modes that we will tell you below.
From the first moment we set up in this Toyota Yaris Cross 120h E-CVT AWD-I it shows that it is a car made for efficiency.It is surprising how the gasoline and electric engine are interspersed according to the needs of each moment.It is extremely easy to move in electric mode when the demand of the accelerator is low, in fact, we can move with the gasoline engine off at speeds of up to 130 km/h, something that we could not dream of in previous generations of these hybrid models.
Although the range is so limited and there is only one power level, it is within the standards of the B-SUV segment.With its 116 hp and 120 nm torque is on average and get benefits are quite normal, with an acceleration of 0 to 100 km/h in 11.8 seconds and a maximum speed of 170 km/h.CO2 emissions range from 98 g/km in front -wheel drive to 106 g/km in this total traction, while approved consumption is between 4.3 and 5.2 l/100km.
In real life the truth is that I do not seem complicated to approach that approved consumption.We in the test week have marked an average that is around 5.3 liters.The efficiency of the set helps a lot, with an E-CVT transmission that has been improving over the years and that achieves a much more natural response.You also have to take into account your lightness despite being a hybrid model, as it weighs just 1.260 kg.It is appreciated the low consumption considering that it has a very small gas tank with just 36 liters.
The Toyota Yaris Cross is a fairly versatile car.Its favorite territory is going to be the city, because this is where its hybrid mechanics stands out and also where its ease of driving and maneuverability is evident, with a very small rotation radius.It does not clash in other areas, because stability is correct on highway at higher speeds and agility is good in sections of curves, although there certain balance sheets will be noticed due to the highest height of its body.
The behavior of the Toyota Yaris Cross can be configured thanks to several driving modes.We have the usual echo, normal and power;having a slight difference in the way of delivering the power and touch of the direction.There is also a B mode to increase retention and regenerate more energy for your batteries.In AWD-I total traction system it also has the normal, trail and snow modes.Although it is not an SUV, we see it of great help in adverse weather situations and to get out of the asphalt with certain guarantees, always taking into account its free height to the ground of 17 cm.
The positive part of carrying the total traction is that it has a different suspension scheme.In all cases, the front axle is Macpherson type and the torsion bar is changed to a multibrazo that makes it winter.It is a car that seeks comfort above sportsmanship and that makes the direction notice it too soft, with an excess of assistance that translates into lack of information in some circumstances.The touch of the brakes does not end up convincing, because with the regenerative braking it costs the pedal.
It is not necessary to be a lynx to realize that Toyota has given on the nail with the Yaris Cross.Who looks for a SUV (most buyers) with the ECO label (key in large cities) with a good image, technology and equipment will find it in this product.It is true that having only one version can limit you, but it is also the most usable by power and efficiency level.Not to mention that it is one of the few B-SUV that can carry total traction.
While it is true that only having it in hybrid format and not with traditional combustion engines, it causes the invoice slightly.They are 23.350 euros of departure, although the top of the range with the total traction and the top of the Premiere Edition range will be up to 30.300 euros.Something less if you unlock your mobility and visits cars.com, where we have the best new vehicle offers in the country and financing with very interesting conditions.
