AI generated from our expert reviews

The Skoda Elroq is longer than the Toyota Yaris Cross, offering more power and a bigger boot, both with the rear seats up and with them folded. In the back, neither cabin accommodates three adults without compromise: the Elroq is not really wide enough for three burly adults outside of short journeys, while carrying three passengers at once in the Yaris Cross may lead to rubbed shoulders. On winding roads, both models limit body lean well, with the Elroq exhibiting remarkably little lean and the Yaris Cross not leaning too much. They differ in driver appeal, however. Twisty roads are not much fun in the Elroq because the steering feels very remote and its electronic safety systems are quite draconian, whereas the Yaris Cross is surprisingly fun to drive on country lanes.
