Toyota Urban Cruiser

The Urban Cruiser is based on the humble Yaris, and is Toyota's rival for the Kia Soul. It features chunky, off-road-inspired styling, but in truth, the Urban Cruiser has little go-anywhere ability, despite the fact that top-spec cars with the diesel engine do come with four-wheel drive. The front-wheel drive car with the 1.33-litre petrol engine is better. On the inside, the Urban Cruiser benefits from lots of space, sliding rear seats and lots of storage. The boot is small, but the rear seats fold easily. As with all Toyotas, the Urban Cruiser is soberly designed but very well built and should prove reliable.
