Toyota has finally joined the booming city SUV segment, with a high-riding Yaris available with petrol or hybrid power.
Pros Roomy cabin and cargo hold Long list of advanced safety tech Relatively fuel-efficient Can run on regular unleaded
Cons High price compared to most rivals Long-ish emergency braking distance for such a small and light car Base-model's halogen headlights could be better
Pros Hybrid stuff works well, some interesting ideas here
Cons Pre-prod car's ride not great, occasionally sluggish performance
PROS Ample space for a light SUV Exterior look is distinctive, especially with the two-tone colour option Toyota has added yet another option to its already booming SUV line-up
CONS The interior styling is too retro Its price is at the higher end of the segment No full-size spare wheel in the boot
PROS Excellent fuel economy Decent value for money Its looks will turn heads
CONS Petrol engine can be gruff under load Lacks the performance of turbo'd rivals Feels cheap in some parts of the cabin
