AI generated from our expert reviews

The Cupra Born is longer, more powerful, and has a bigger boot than the Toyota Yaris. In the back, the Born gives you plenty of headroom and legroom, with a flat floor that helps the cabin feel more spacious, whereas the rear seats in the Yaris are really very tight for space. When cruising on the motorway, the Born’s suspension settles down a lot to make for a smooth journey, while the short wheelbase of the Yaris means it is a little bouncy. Take either car out onto twisty roads, however, and you will find that both grip well.
