toyota yaris cross hybrid 2023 review

The 2023 Toyota Yaris Cross Hybrid is the city SUV that sips fuel like it’s paying the bill itself. Its 1.5‑litre three‑cylinder hybrid delivers a combined ~85 kW, and real-world economy of ~3.8–4.5 L/100 km is very doable if you resist channeling Bathurst at every green light. Up front it’s comfy; the back seat is snug, but the boot is decent for the class (~390 L in 2WD, with AWD variants giving up some space). Around town it’s quiet, easy to park, and the safety tech (AEB, lane support, adaptive cruise on higher grades) takes the edge off the commute. Downsides? It’s not quick, the infotainment feels a generation behind, and option creep can nudge the price into bigger-car territory.
