Toyota Yaris Cross · frequently asked questions

Is the hybrid battery a worry?

No · Toyota hybrid batteries are among the most durable, and hybrid health checks extend cover.

Why do rear brakes rust?

The regen system means the friction brakes rarely get hot enough to clean themselves.

Very fast · hybrid small SUVs are among the strongest used sellers in the UK.

Is AWD-i worth paying for?

Only for rural buyers; the front-drive version is cheaper to maintain.
