Toyota has rolled the dice with the latest Yaris, going from a cheapie to a premium supermini in its fourth‑generation incarnation ‑ the XP210 series. This means the base grade is now nearly $7000 more expensive, but the level of improvement is remarkable. Thanks to a completely redesigned body and all‑new platform and powertrain, the Yaris has gone from segment under‑achiever to a class leader.

It's taken nearly five years but Lexus has finally got the UX250h luxury small SUV right. Benefitting from an overhaul in 2022, the latest model is now stronger and quieter, thanks to several chassis, suspension and body improvements. It's also better equipped, gains a upgraded and larger multimedia screen, and steers and rides more comfortably than before. Most of the old UX flaws are gone.
