Toyota?s popular Yaris has received the same treatment as almost every other supermini in the market, which is to say it?s been SUV?d. With raised ride height, the option of all-wheel drive and some chunky styling additions, it?s a proper dinky SUV, and its frugal petrol-electric hybrid power makes a convincing case. The reassurance of all-wheel drive for extra grip in slippery conditions only comes with the top trim levels, and the cost seems a bit steep unless you regularly find yourself driving in snowy conditions or live on an unmade road where the going gets tricky. For more typical driving every Yaris Cross comes with adaptive cruise control, lane-departure alert, road-sign assistance and a pre-collision system that detects imminent collisions with vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists, and will if necessary control the steering to move the car out of the way.
