Toyota Yaris Cross 2021 Interior
The interior of the Yaris Cross range is a mixed bag. While the seats are comfortable and adjustable for all occupants, there is an abundance of hard trims in the doorcards and dahsboard. Practicality-wise occupants can make use of medium bottle holders in the doors, three cupholders in the centre console, and various nooks and crannies throughout, though none are rubberised. The highest Urban grade is available with contrasting plastic dash trims, although all cars get a leather bound steering wheel. It also has a large boot space for the class coming in at 390-litres (VDA) in petrol front-drive models, or 314L in hybrid grades.

Toyota Yaris Cross 2021 Q&As
Check out real-world situations relating to the Toyota Yaris Cross 2021 here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.
-
Is the 2021 Yaris Cross Hybrid suitable for highway driving and gravel-road use?
The Yaris Cross will be more than capable of maintaining a speed of 110km/h on the freeway, Fred. The hybrid driveline, however, is all about saving fuel, not making it the performance leader of the Yaris Cross family. Bear in mind, you have two options with a Yaris Cross Hybrid; two or four-wheel-drive, and the latter is going to be a bit slower to reach cruising speed thanks to the extra mass of that driveline in what is already a relatively hefty (hybrid) hatchback.
Given you’ve nominated some gravel-road use (not to mention shallow water crossings) I reckon the all-wheel-drive Hybrid might just be the one for you (and your wife). The extra grip of all-wheel-drive when it could be of most benefit (which will be relatively often on loose gravel surfaces) buys you an extra safety margin. As for water crossings, even though it has lots of batteries, controllers and an electric motor on board, Toyota tells me that the Hybrid version of the Yaris Cross has been tested to the same standards as any other Yaris Cross version.
