Great combination of size, usability & SUV style It's a compact SUV (length of 4,172 mm) so manageable in city traffic/parking, yet offers higher driving position and more practicality vs a small hatch. Boot space is decent (350 litres seats up) which gives you real "family/lifestyle" usability. Hybrid efficiency + decent performance The "130" in Excel 130 denotes 130 hp/130 PS hybrid setup â?? meaning you get more punch than base versions. Fuel consumption and COâ?? emissions are excellent for the class (59 mpg combined, 109 g/km COâ??) Because it's a hybrid, you'll see excellent cost savings in everyday driving (especially in urban/stop-start traffic) compared with conventional petrol only. High specification â?? the "Excel" trim brings premium touches - On the Excel grade you get upgraded features: e.g., 18-inch wheels, keyless/push-start, nicer interior trim, better infotainment, heated seats/sterring wheel and power tailgate. Brand and resale strength - Toyota has a strong reputation for reliability, strong network in the UK, and typically excellent resale value. Hybrids are increasingly valued, especially in urban environments where emissions/fuel efficiency matter. Practical for many use-cases - Whether it's family use, commuting, mixed driving, the Yaris Cross offers versatility: city friendly without being puny, SUV style without massive bulk. If you value comfort, ease of driving, lower running costs, this hits all the boxes!
