2021 Toyota Yaris Cross Hybrid Review: Singapore's next top (crossover) model? - CarBuyer.com.sg

We're calling it now: This is going to be the hottest-selling crossover in Singapore this year - the Toyota Yaris Cross Hybrid is Toyota's first officially-imported small hybrid SUV, and it looks like it has all the elements that make a great-selling car in 2021. But great seller or not, is it really worth the cash - and does the hybrid system really work in Singapore? Plus, if the Yaris Cross is piqueing your interest, we clue you in to another car arriving this year that could really set off a clash of the (small) hybrid titans. Apologies if we're a little hoarse in this video - it was a long day!

As featured in this video: Toyota Yaris Cross Hybrid Excite in Brass Gold Metallic S$106,888 with COE (end February 2021)
