In some ways, Toyota's never really made the most of its pioneering Hybrid technology, but with this Yaris Cross has really done so. You could observe - rightly - that not many folk choose a fashion-led small crossover with sensible priorities, but if you were to prioritise those in selecting this kind of car, then this one makes an incredible amount of sense, with genuine 45-55mpg regularly achievable economy. That's thanks to a full-Hybrid powertrain that remains the most efficient in its class. And no other car in this segment has a wider portfolio of safety kit. It's not all about sensibility of course; a trendy vibe's been thrown in too, especially with this revised model.
You could argue that twenty years ago, the original three-door RAV4 pioneered this class of car, but the brand never properly capitalised on that model, instead bringing us quirky but unappealing small lifestyle products like the Yaris Verso. The RAV4's modernday successor, the C-HR, has found favour but is too expensive for most Juke and Puma folk. This Yaris Cross suits their needs more precisely. This update probably won't persuade you into one if you didn't already like this Toyota, but if you did, then there are now even more reasons to choose it. Which is why you can expect continued sales success from this car.
