Hyundai Kona
Toyota Yaris Cross
VS

If you want character and driving fizz, pick the Kona; if low running costs and unshakable dependability top your list, the Yaris Cross is the clever, unflashy winner.
Jeep Avenger
Toyota Yaris Cross
VS
The all‑electric Jeep Avenger packs Jeep’s chunky styling into a city‑friendly crossover with brisk EV torque and cheeky off‑road looks — perfect for buyers who want electric motoring with attitude, even if it’s more boulevard than boulder. The Toyota Yaris Cross, meanwhile, swaps glamour for sense: proven hybrid efficiency, smarter packaging and Toyota’s rock‑solid reliability make it the more practical, everyday choice for those who value economy and resale over style points.
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.
Lexus LBX
Toyota Yaris Cross
VS
Think of the Lexus LBX and Toyota Yaris Cross as sibling rivals: they share the same hybrid bones, but the LBX wraps them in sharper styling, quieter materials and a premium badge that commands a higher price for finesse.
