2024 Toyota Yaris Cross Hybrid initial Driving Impressions -This or the Corolla Cross Hybrid?

[@jaywalkur]

Thanks to Toyota Otis for letting me film the all new Toyota Yaris Cross. If you're interested in the Wigo, you may contact them through: Edu Sianghio 0917 960 0412 Joy Mendoza 09176218007 Correction. I was told by a representative that the The Yaris Cross comes with a NiMh battery like all other previous Toyota hybrids but apparently it comes with a Li-ion battery

[@francisyuweh706]

I'm watching for different car reviews of the same car and the reason i watch them is to see their take on the same car, their comments, their pros and cons, etc. This is one of my go to channels for review. Keep it up sir

[@jaywalkur]

Thank you so much. I appreciate that

[@alb.4089]

Looks like a Highlander and Corolla Cross combined. I love it!

[@joramgaspar8482]

drving impressions make this channel the best!

[@calebaizen6260]

the price, the interior and features of the yaris cross is what the corolla cross should have been...

[@johnwick860]

agree, 82k price difference would make you go for Corolla Cross hybrid

[@icynrvna]

So strong enough to not be called a mild hybrid but weak compared to other Hybrids. A comparison between this and the Kicks would be nice.

[@mjgrubert]

There are existing ones from Singapore. Kicks: better driving experience, better interior, more spacious. Yaris: fuel efficiency, safety tech

[@mjfab74]

@@mjgrubertwe have that here also, Priced around P1.2 mil ($24k US). @icy is correct, the yaris acts more like a mild hybrid like rather than the Corolla cross hybrid w/c is just 60k or $1,000 more than the yaris… the only thing it has going for it is it’s looks..

[@Dongzzzzzz]

I don't really get the kicks having an ice powering the electric motors. Is it really that more efficient to have the engine act like a generator?

[@icynrvna]

@@Dongzzzzzz it has some of the benefits of an ev without dealing with range anxiety. Its tbh better than parallel hybrids / mild hybrids.

[@Dongzzzzzz]

@icynrvna I guess instant torque is one benefit. Would also operate on its optimal rpm which is more efficient especially on stop and go traffic. I'd rather just wait batteries matching fuel tanks with their energy density, batteries today are too heavy.

[@skiriigreen6323]

Very Cool and beautiful Car❤ Hindi usual na Daihatsu-toyota cars like before, pinag isipan talaga to ng Toyota. Love this car❤

[@asrockrpg]

This Yaris Cross is built by Toyota in a Daihatsu platform along with Wigo, Liteace, Veloz, Avanza, Rush, Raize, and the Soon Coming 2024 Toyota Vios.

[@benjaminanacay3148]

Actually V variant has blind spot sensor as well, and you forgot to mention that the lift gate has a sensor as well to open it without pressing the button, you can open and close the lift gate by just running your foot underneath the rear skid plate. Also V variant also have a cordless phone charger, rain sensor, adaptive cruise control and so many safety features. Can't beat this yaris cross

[@marcs4]

Corolla Cross Hybrid is better. Bigger battery pack, better power figures, and more spacious. Plus, it’s a true-blood Toyota (TNGA platform). I think Yaris’ mid variant is the way to go, if you really want it.

[@seaworthy5533]

if the toyota would replace the foot break or park thing on the corolla cross, then upgrade the infotainment, it will be a much better deal

[@RJ-mf6yp]

I prefer power over panoramic views. Kicks all the way.

[@mardiecruz4850]

Love to see it in " duo tone"😊

[@paulbonifacio901]

Hey jay, i cant decide between this yaris cross s and the kicks vl, i know the specs and feature the yaris is better but I want the series hybrid powertrain of the e-power. Any inputs?

[@Jojo-i9e7o]

For the price range, innova j or e mt is still worth to buy 2.8 diesel engine 7 seater

[@giovanni512]

Galing boss!

[@PeterTanization]

Solid ng bangs mo brad!

[@abetguerzon1939]

sir how about the suspension performance and ground noise proofing from the wheels? usually its noticeable for low end cars

[@LichtBach25]

Sa mga owners ngayon ng Yaris shev totoo pa ba ng kapos daw po?salamat

[@bartakercarl]

Always looking forward to your reviews sir especially your POV drive and when you do cruise control review. Really looking forward to that 🫡

[@rdr33]

This or the Nissan Kicks in terms of fuel economy?

[@jaywalkur]

I wasn't able to drive the Yaris Cross long enough to get a good fuel consumption reading but I was able to get as high as 22kpl in the kicks in heavy EDSA traffic and 23.9kpl on the highway.

[@noelpol7371]

Waiting for ur comparo between toyota yaris hybrid and Nissan kicks e power.

[@storx61]

How did you find the torque and acceleration on the low end? Is there a rubberband effect since it's CVT? I ask since you mentioned there is a drop off at a certain speed.

[@_TheUninvited]

Torque and acceleration is non existent on this one. Probably as slow as its cousin Wigo

[@ayrtonrama1191]

Actually doesnt feel like a wigo. Imo acceleration and driving feels better than the cross. ​@@_TheUninvited

[@carlitowanderleylopes6074]

Estou esperando essa versão do Toyota yaris aqui no Brasil.

Is there a spare tyre?

How much battery hybrid cross? Any idea?

Isuzu MUX for the next Variants Ranked please. Ty

@@johnwick860 wala po. Meron para sa Terra, Fortuner at Everest pero wala para sa MUX.

[@GarthGollayan-op5ej]

Yaris' battery is already Lithium ion

[@drmarkmadarang]

Compare with kicks?

Perhaps in the future

[@draconicargus415]

Or GWM Haval jolion hybrid they almost the same price

​@@draconicargus415how much is this car?

[@giboxxx6573]

I thought this was already using Li battery?

[@jaywalkur]

You are correct. I was told by a representative that it had a NiMH battery but apparently that was not accurate. It comes with a Li-ion batttery. I updated the pinned comment

[@bertvelo5714]

I disagree on the weight of the steering wheel, for an EPS this is stiff but not like hydraulics found on popular diesel SUVs. Also, the noise and vibration of the engine gets through the cabin when it starts to charge. Imagine your normal ICE car revving at 4-5k RPM on neutral.

[@jaywalkur]

Hi I didn't say that the steering was heavy, just heavier than expected. Definitely not as heavy as large diesel SUVs but a bit heavier than a lot of crossovers of a similar size. When the battery level gets low. the engine does idle higher than normal for a faster charge. It didn't feel like 4-5k rpm to me. More like 1500 rpm. (there's no tachometer so I can't tell exactly) but it does settle down quickly when the battery gets sufficiently charged.

[@bertvelo5714]

@@jaywalkur Yes, heavier than expected - since it is an EPS. I thought the test drive unit front tires are deflated at the time, but my observation was also confirmed by one of the marshals during the test drive event.

[@rodmyrdatoon6629]

still no Australian accent, mate....

[@tipsy113]

Test drove this mild hybrid variant of the YX. Sluggish and has a noisy engine.

[@OlegsAksjonovs]

sobrang mahal for the specs specially 106 hp lng. tubong tubo na naman ang Toyota sa mga fanbois nia. 😁😁

[@realityhurts8360]

is this seriously pricier than ford territory???? ahh no

[@Tshwetsosebopelo2011]

How much is this car?

[@johnbrotata391]

Toyota uses NiMh?its an obsolete tech Everybody uses li ion, li poly now Disadvantage of Ni Mh is weight and long charging and low power too

[@milocp792]

This has li-ion ano ba

[@johnbrotata391]

@@milocp792 Ni Mh Not li ion Very old battery they bought from china hahaha

[@johnbrotata391]

@milocp792 oh well you must be the one who need research as toyota specs in 1.8liter engine they use 6.5Ah NiMh And for 2.0l engine is 4.08 AH Li Ion Now which engine did toyota offer in the philippines? Hahaha

[@_TheUninvited]

109HP for 1.6M. 🤣🤣🤣

[@nuk3fishydude902]

It's a hybrid, so it's only for efficiency 😂😂😂 just like the Toyota Prius, which costs much more and it's also slow 🤪🤪🤪

[@_TheUninvited]

@@nuk3fishydude902 not really. Check the Prius, it's faster than a Civic. 🙄

[@bjorn3568]

When computing combined horsepower of a hybrid system, you simply add the horsepower of the ICE + electric motor. The Yaris Cross ICE is tuned for 90hp, while the electric motor delivers 79 horsepower, for a combined power output of around 169 system net horsepower. (It is always less than the sum of both power plants because of the way both power systems interact) Hope this helps.

[@zimben8]

Sorry but it does not have 235 Tires and the Hybrid version 1.5 has les power bc it's in Atkinson sycle, meaning its more efficient but with the EV motor it has a total much stronger then the non Hybrid 1.5. The electric Roof shade is ONE Touch open or close. Maybe u should look for another job if u make a video for YT but know the car u reviewing. Waste of time to watch u.
