Test drove the Toyota Premier, top of the range, Yaris Cross against the Nissan Juke N Sport hybrid.
The more powerful motor in the Premier was a huge improvement over the older115 BHP.
Interior was poor compared to Juke which was more solid, better seats, much better digital dashboard, storage (surprisingly large glove box, centre armrest cubby), infotainment (the around view camera was a fuzzy affair compared to the crisp screen on the Nissan), ergonomics (the camera button and several others are hidden under the right hand side dash, I had to open the door in order to see them ) etc.
Expected the Jukes 19 inch wheels (why Nissan) to be awful and was pleasantly surprised by the better ride and body control.
Toyota 10-15mpg better than the Nissan, as well as other positives like roof rails, powered tailgate, warranty, sun roof option, through load and centre cup holders etc.
In the end the Juke just seemed like a larger more solid, planted on the road car that I would rather spend time in, showing the importance of long test drives.

Mr. Watson, what a disappointment! To start showing that cheap cover for the back trunk, come on - the Yugo had a better quality cover than this flimsy something. And to praise this - I am just shocked, I'll admit. And just one more thing, I owned a CH-R for 2 years and every single time I hear people like you say: this time, the engine is better, it is quieter, the CVT, come on! The Toyota CVT is so bad, at 120km/h it sounds like the dentist drill gone wrong. It must be the Japanese way of telling us to stop pushing the gas pedal, so that you can actually drive more slowly - hence obtain lower consumption. The overall looks of this Yaris are ok, but the interior is just so basic, no class at all - Toyota's interiors are mostly still left in the 1980s and 90s. Sad.

Nobody cares about your thousand pounds (that wasn't a WEIGHT unit in your shitty EMPIRE, ALL PEOPLE in europe using EURO.
By the way, that car in that basic variant is VERY EXPENSIVE at 40. 000. Those huge areas plastic covered will RUST as hell after 3-4 years.
That car looks like shit, or like a mickey mouse on high heels. Exterior design is worst that is it at Dacia Duster. even i thought was impossible something like that (excluding India products)

It used to be my family car.
Easy to drive, have a simple centre console, got good mileage, and well designed. What I don’t like about it is such as, rear seats are bit small and won’t be reclined to the fullest, though these are not big deals.
Overall, it’s the most cost efficient car of all other similarly sized vehicles.

B mode in Toyotas is ONLY for descending mountain passes or steep descents.
It should never be used during normal driving.
I own a Hybrid Toyota. You can read it in the user manual.
It does not regenerate much more energy. Instead it uses engine break to slow you down. That is the only purpose

4: 40 do I spy a traditional mechanical gear selector! None of this unorthodox crap that manufactures insert into their nowadays to select gears. I’m glad this is still a thought in the minds of interior designers, a simple gear lever is what everyone knows how to use!

So, I used to sell these when they first came out and even with these updates I bet they still feel as cheap and horrible as they look, think the only reason people buy these over a Peugeot is because of the brand and the fact that they're all hybrids, horrible cheap things.

Was in Japan a few days ago, my parents rented one of these to go from Tokyo to fuji speedway, believe me these back seats are horrible when it comes to long distances and noise insulation doesn’t exsist. other than that it was pretty blumming good

In Puerto Rico, with a mediocre and expensive quality of life and with the disastrous roads that we have, dealers will have a great offer of 33k (usd) for the cheapest version of these almost 2k pounds (907 kg) of plastic.

At 10: 01, Mat, the annoying thing for me is how whenever I'm not in a Japanese car I can't find the fuel filler cap release! As soon as I park at the gas station, I'm reaching for it, and if I'm not in my Toyota, it isn't there

B isn’t more regenerative braking. It stops disconnecting the ICE when you release the throttle. So you can Brake on the ICE when going downhill, instead of constantly pushing the brakes. Has been for decades on Toyota hybrids.

This car reminds me of a slice of white bread in an all you can eat breakfast buffet. So many options and yet you choose a slice of white bread. Nothing particularly wrong with it but also nothing exciting.

With Toyota taking over Daihatsu operations fully, they should really start to combine the exterior design of the DNGA Yaris Cross with the platform and interior of the TNGA Yaris Cross.

Would be very interesting to see a Clio Vs Yaris or Capture Vs Yaris Cross comparative
Especially regarding the hybrid system which are similar but still have a quite different philosophy

Looks shockingly cheap. At least the French and Germans give you the sense that they've put some effort in even if underneath they're only made to last a 4-year PCP cycle!

In other words the car is a piece of shi, wouldn't pay the ridiculous amount they try to charge for this, it's rubbish, get a Skoda if you want quality and real value for money!

Be nice if the video was upped to 50 or 60fps, 25 fps is pretty dated and makes for an uncomfortable watch when the camera man is constantly panning around and moving.
