I'm torn between the two. Which one do you guys prefer?
Toyota Yaris Cross Hybrid cost $35,900. Honda CR-V Vi 2.0 cost $35,500.
Which Would You Prefer Yaris Cross Hybrid or CR-V

Yeah but it's a good size, unrecognisable from the previous Yaris. Nice, chunky, good Hybrid SUV. Very similar looking to the new RAV 4 Hybrid.
Very similar looking to the new RAV 4 Hybrid.
how hard are you squinting?
Squinting or drinking?
.In what way? You really don't see a similarity???
the Corolla Cross looks more like the Rav4 lol
Looks are subjective, but I think it's the ugliest thing ever!
And it just looks like a cheap oversized toy.
Surely not uglier than the infamous Nissan Juke?
I like the previous, and current Juke! :(
@jackary: Wooo… I kind of agree… The Nissan Juke Nismo RS is a very good looking vehicle. The base models…. meh.
ah yeh, that thing is pretty bad as well!
Yaris Cross =/ Yaris
2 different cars
That said, the Yaris ZR hybrid isn't too far off $40k…
Whichever one you can get sooner.
MG ZS $22,490 - 7yrs warranty
Drive both and come back; I am pretty sure the CRV is larger and of better finishing than an entry-level Toyota.
I struggle to see how anyone would cross shop these two cars.
It’s more of the price range. They would both be avialble in 2 mnths time.
I prefer a BRZ for $42k.
I thought CRV was bigger than Yaris Cross.
Yaris Cross isn't good value. Go for a Corolla Cross or if you can stretch it a RAV4.
Agreed. CRV is more on par with a RAV4 - which is a better option if you can afford it.
I test drove the Yaris, and it felt really cramped inside
I owned a CRV first gen, it had a table in the back of it.
Both are good cars, I would just chose between fuel consumption , serviceability and repair cost.
Surely Yaris hybrid trumps on fuel and service costs?
Whichever floats your boat. I wouldn’t get either. My guess is the hybrid will hold better value down the line with fuel prices increasing.
Get the Toyota Yaris Cross. It’s a hybrid for the same cost as a dinosaur Honda. Added to this, Honda may not be around in a few years, making your warranty worthless. You also won’t be able to haggle at all on the Honda, the Toyota may have at least some wiggle room (but with stock supply, they may not budge either)l
@pegaxs,with all due respect,I don’t think Honda is going anywhere in the short term,they do have a lot of stuff coming through.Yaris Cross,is way to expensive for what it is.As far as wiggle room, a lot of manufactures are slowly going across to an agency style model.The way of the future unfortunately.Also as far as long distance driving, the CRV wins hands down.
Yeah, I dont know about Honda. To me at the moment, they are an unknown quantity. I certainly wouldn't buy into their car ecosystem with this much uncertainty around their future. And with so little Honda vehicles being sold currently, what is it going to be like at resale time? What is the parts situation going to be like? What is the dealer network going to be like?
Honda have taken a massive hit by moving over to the agency model. When it comes to cars, most people in Australian culture still like to haggle out a deal (even if it is on a few $x00 and some floor mats). The RRP is always there for people that don't want to haggle or just want the car, but it hurts a lot more than it helps to tell everyone "the price IS the price…".
And I agree. The Yaris Cross is WAY over priced. I got a Corolla Hybrid for the wife back in early 2019 for less than the asking price of a current Yaris Cross. I was going to slap down a deposit on a new Yaris Hybrid thinking it was smaller and therefore it would be cheaper than the Corolla Hybrid. I was wrong.
Anyway, it's more about what OP thinks is good value, not what we think. If OP is happy with the two cars and they are a similar price, the Yaris to them would be the much better buy of the two. Toyota will be here in 5 years time, Honda may not. Toyota sell 10's of thousands of cars a month (20,800+ in Feb. 22), Honda, not so much (1,400+ in the same month). Almost every town has a Toyota dealership, Honda just closed half their dealer network.
I'm not saying the CRV is a bad car, just it's not the best choice of the two offered here when you consider them as a whole picture.
@pegasx.Honda have taken a massive hit.Honda have lost their way in recent times, they have had some great cars.Maybe they are going to tough it out for a few years.The CRV still holds its own though, against some tough opponents.(sales figures aside.)It is a top seller in the US against the RAV,with RAV just on top.Floor mats is an interesting one,with Nissan they are actually standard on X-Trail & Qashqai.Honda though they are not.Their dealer network is crap.I lost my local one.The other one on the side of town,has now setup a service dept & spares only on my side of town,so makes it a lot easier.Future is unknown for this brand though.
Wait for the Corolla Cross imo. Eta at the end of the year
Corolla cross? Seriously? Why bother with the CHR, RAV4 and Yaris cross covering much the same ground.
Chr doesn't have an suv shape so doesn't really fill that need
CHR is more like a coupe but really not sporty at all.
Yaris Cross is a small crossover, it's cramped and underpowered. But it's small.
Corolla Cross is nice size crossover, almost as big as RAV4. It is however underpowered like normal Corolla as it uses same engine setup while it's bigger than both Sedan and Hatchback. It's cheaper than RAV4 though.
RAV4 is RAV4, perhaps best bang for buck as it does most thing well enough. Still the best selling car for Toyota worldwide.
CRV anytime of the week.Just a great SUV.
Yaris cross cost hybrid cost?
how does this make any sense
A Yaris is two sizes down from a CRV
also this price CRV has a 2.0 n/a four so good luck with that.
But the std. engine is a turbo 1,5 which is yuck. So bad choices all around.
So,you have actually ‘owned’ a CRV? Oh dear you are you really full of it.And why is the 1.5 the ‘standard’ engine,(which it is not btw,so let’s set the facts straight here.)yuk in your knowledgeable opinion?Love to hear the answer to this one.You are really talking out the ‘back’ of your head sonny.
i could try to explain but it sounds like you're too stupid to understand 'dad'
Obviously you cannot ‘explain’ it,I would say you have no idea.(sonny).Typical of a lot of people, always see the negative just because you personally do not like it.
well whats there to explain except to oblivious hacks like hackney
we all know honda is in a precarious position in this country
we should all know Honda's turbo 1.5 engine has had some issues to say the least
i always talk about risk… is it worth your money when you can buy from a brand who doesnt have these issues
leave risk to the hacks out there like you know who
@tonyjzx: What issues would they be?None whatsoever in this country.The only one that comes to mind is the oil dilution issue.It actually never effected Australian delivered vehicles(fact).It was an issue in China & the US & Canada,due to very,very cold temperatures(fact).Honda Australia never released a tech bulletin advising Australian owners of this.Honda Japan released a tech bulletin for China & North America advising of this issue,which I now believe has been resolved.The 1.5 engine has very little issues if any.I have never heard of any.There are many 1.5 engines with well over 200,000kms & no issues.Whether they are in a ‘precarious’ position or not is irrelevant,that does not make a car bad,does it?Stop putting out BS.
@Hackney: no one cares mate
thats why no one buys that shit
here's hoping Honda goes down permanently
@tonyjzx: Obviously people do care,they are still purchasing them.I suggest you are the one full of s@#t.Putting out stupid posts,with absolutely no facts to back anything up.Shut down permanently?Not @ all likely.You have never owned a CRV,so I would say you are unqualified to give an informed opinion.Stick to what you do know,which is very little I should imagine,unless it suits your narrative of course.
I just got a tcross in the same price range, skoda also have a good value car at this price range.
Drove one of the new HRV Hybrids yesterday(first person to do so, from my dealer)They do not officially go on sale until the 19/4/22, but are now taking orders.Wife is finding the CR-V just to big, so we have bitten the bullet & ordered one.Very impressed with driving it.Sure it is not a powerhouse,but all in all a very nice car to drive, has all the bells & whistles.Few negatives with the car, the rear boot space is down on the previous version(305 litres) not a deal breaker for us.Has Honda’s ‘magic seats’ which are just fantastic, plenty of space to carry stuff, the rear seat backrests fold down as does the seat, so it is completely flat.Engine?So,so,but it is not meant to be a powerhouse as such.Getting fairly good reviews in the UK.Economy?4.3 litres/100.Range is around the 900km mark.There has been a lot of interest in it, with a lot of prospective buyers putting orders in already.A lot are coming across from Toyota, because of the long wait times on their vehicles.We should be one of the very first to have one in the country.
Not on sale until 19/4 but taking orders? That’s just marketing speak. It’s for sale now just can’t be delivered for a bit.
& your point is?That is not uncommon.Do you have an issue with that?(BTW, the cars are already on the water, on their way to Australia for delivery to dealers)Orders books are already filling up, there is already a lot of interest in them.Hell,aren’t you full of positive vibes!
Im just over all the BS that sales people come up with to make customers feel like they’ve got a good deal or something special.
I’m glad you’ve got something you want and are interested in. I have no interest in such a vehicle, doesn’t spark joy at all.
@Euphemistic: There was absolutely no inference that it was ‘marketing speak’.(fact).They have the stock levels in front of them, which btw they actually showed me.The vehicles are due soon for all dealers, they only have vehicles for display(one actually) & one Hybrid demonstrator.The one on the floor cannot be sold for six months as it is for viewing(which makes sense.)This btw is a directive from Honda as they own the vehicle, not the dealer.The one I drove only came in a couple of days ago & is not registered as yet, so had to go out on trade plates.
@Hackney: You’re only further confirming it is salesman waffle. ‘We can’t sell it yet’ but here’s stock levels, here’s one you can drive, no you can’t buy this one it’s not even ours really
If it really wasn’t on sale until 19/4 you wouldn’t be able to order it. ‘But it’s a pre-order’. Nope.
@Euphemistic: You really do not get it.It is not released officially until the 19/4/22, but you can pre-order,as the first shipment is due.Seriously mate, you really are a dill.
@Hackney: Yeah I do get it, pre-order is marketing/salesman bull$#|+ to make you think you are getting something special. It’s just building hype for a product. You are the one that doesn’t get it.
‘It’s not available until 19/4, but since you’re such a great person you can order it now and we’ll hold one for you so you can get one of the very first ones’
@Euphemistic: That last statement is nothing short of ridiculous.If you want to go down that road,Toyota is doing the same thing, you can have one, but you will have to wait @ least twelve months.No difference.I cannot see an issue.It is you who is cynical.Just give it a rest.Be positive for a change, costs nothing.As far as ‘feeling special’?Are you for real,nearly chocked on my Coffee.Type R Civic manual,has a big backlog of orders as well,& they are not due to be released quite away down the track.So what is your issue?The funny thing is,the salesman I am dealing with I have known personally for over twenty years.So cut the BS out.You know absolutely nothing.Btw,if I had wanted a base petrol only,I could have had it straight away on the day of official release as they have one ready to go.
@Hackney: You seem quite defensive there. You ordered a car that was available for sale, plain and simple.
@Hackney: Remarks which had nothing to do with your choice of vehicle but apparently hurt your feelings about the purchase in some way.
Marketing works. (And I fall victim to it probably just as much as anyone else)
Better off spending a little bit more to get RAV4 Hybrid for 41k ish
The RAV is in a different segment, therefore it is also a bigger vehicle.Honda’s Hybrid system is actually able to drive further on pure electric power,& is a slightly different setup to Toyota.Remember, Honda we’re the first @ Hybrid technology in 1999 with the Insight.I don’t want a RAV, just not interested.Don’t care if I can get it cheaper, that does not even come into it & is not a deal breaker.Not prepared to wait over twelve months for one.Relative has one on order, over a year now, & three price rises later.
Honda we’re the first @ Hybrid technology in 1999 with the Insight
The first Prius came out in 1997. Honda weren't first, they were just the first outside Japan
In 1999, the Honda Insight became the first mass-production HEV released in the United States.
I stand corrected,& so do you.It was actually Dr Ferdinand Porsche who was the first in 1899.So,we are both wrong!
How is the RAV4 a different segment from the CR-V? They are direct competitors, you even said so yourself
If you actually read it correctly,I was saying the the RAV is in a completely different segment to the Hybrid Honda(which it is.)
At the risk of getting massively negged, I'd prefer a Toyota bZ4X EV, despite it's ridiculous name. But it's not exactly in the same class/price bracket.

Almost 40k for a Yaris good lord
