AI generated from our expert reviews

Choosing between these two Toyotas comes down to packaging and refinement. The longer Toyota Yaris Cross offers more luggage space with its back seats folded, and its rear passengers get small door bins, whereas those in the back of the Toyota Yaris make do without door bins entirely. Neither car provides rear charging points, though both supply enough seat adjustment up front for drivers of all shapes and sizes to find a comfortable position. On the motorway, when you put your foot down to accelerate or overtake, the engine in the Yaris Cross can become unpleasantly noisy. By contrast, the engine in the Yaris revs pretty high when joining on a sliproad or pulling out to overtake, but it is not an unpleasant sound and remains far from unbearable.
