Honda Jazz
Toyota Yaris Cross
VS
Small and sensible, the Honda Jazz is a masterclass in clever packaging — airy rear seats, Magic Seat flexibility and effortless economy make it the practical everyman’s champion, even if it lacks SUV swagger. The Toyota Yaris Cross, by contrast, trades some of that interior generosity for a taller stance, sharper looks, and available AWD and safety tech, so choose it if you want crossover chic and confidence on rougher roads rather than maximum boot space.
Honda HR-V
Honda Jazz
VS
Think of the HR-V as the SUVs' extrovert — taller stance, more boot space and a confident road presence — while the Jazz is the clever, city‑savvy hatch that hides a brilliant, flexible cabin and frugal running costs. Choose the HR-V if you need space and SUV style; pick the Jazz if you value manoeuvrability, packaging genius and lower bills — either way, you get Honda reliability with two very different personalities.
