Includes £500 off. ✅, Why it?s a strong buy High-spec trim with lots of comfort & convenience features The Excel trim (for the Toyota Yaris Cross) adds to the already solid lower grades. For example it includes 18-inch alloy wheels, power tailgate with kick sensor, heated front seats & heated steering wheel, dual-zone climate control. It also brings (for Excel) the nine-inch Toyota Smart Connect multimedia system. Safety systems: All models benefit from Toyota Safety Sense (including pedestrian/cyclist recognition, adaptive cruise, lane-trace assist). Boot and practicality: The Excel models include a usable boot and adjustable floor (in some specs) for added flexibility. Hybrid powertrain & efficiency The Yaris Cross is a hybrid petrol model (1.5 L petrol with electric support) so you get very good fuel economy for its class. Lower emissions compared to many non-hybrid small SUVs, which is good for both running costs and environment. Compact SUV style + practicality You get the raised ride height and SUV-style practicality (better visibility, more ?presence?) in a size that?s easier to manoeuvre than a large SUV. The Yaris Cross has more space and flexibility than the smaller Yaris hatch (including a larger boot). For everyday driving, especially in city, suburban or mixed driving, this model strikes a good balance. Respected brand & reliability Toyota has long been known for reliability and good resale value, while this specific model is new enough to not have decades of history, it builds on that pedigree. Good value for the features you get Given the specification that Excel brings, you get many premium features (heated seats, power tailgate, top infotainment, safety tech) that would sometimes cost extra or be reserved for much more expensive cars.
