Feature Showdown
The Hyundai Venue features a 8-inch touchscreen paired with a 3.5-inch digital dash, while the Toyota Yaris Cross gets a 8-inch display and 7-inch instruments. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across both.
The Hyundai Venue stands out with wireless charging — features our data doesn't list for the Toyota Yaris Cross. Which feature set matters more depends on your daily routine and priorities.
Equipment few rivals have, on either carShowHide
Drivetrain
The Hyundai Venue uses a Petrol producing 90kW and 151Nm of torque, sent through a manual to a FWD layout.
The Toyota Yaris Cross responds with a 1.5L 3-cyl Hybrid making 85kW and 120Nm, paired to a cvt driving the front wheels. It gets to 100km/h in 9.8 seconds.
The Hyundai Venue has the clear power advantage at 90kW vs 85kW. For most buyers, the way each car feels day-to-day matters more than outright acceleration.
Space & Comfort
The Hyundai Venue measures 4,040mm long on a 2,520mm wheelbase, 140mm shorter than the Toyota Yaris Cross at 4,180mm (2,560mm wheelbase). The longer wheelbase on the Toyota Yaris Cross generally means more rear legroom.
Boot space is 355L in the Hyundai Venue and 390L in the Toyota Yaris Cross, giving the Toyota Yaris Cross a 35L advantage.
For towing, the Hyundai Venue leads with a 1,100kg braked capacity vs 400kg. That 700kg difference matters if you regularly hitch up.
Neither U-turns in one sweep on a 7 m local street (both need a three-point turn); the Hyundai Venue's turning circle is 0.4 m tighter, 10.2 m against 10.6 m kerb to kerb. The street estimate is indicative, worked from the published turning circles.
Cost to own
At 15,000 km a year, fuel for the Hyundai Venue costs about $1,995 a year (7 L/100km) and fuel for the Toyota Yaris Cross about $1,083 a year (3.8 L/100km), at $1.90 a litre and 32c a kWh. That is $912 a year less for the Toyota Yaris Cross.
Warranty: 5 years / Unlimited (Hyundai Venue) and 5 years / Unlimited (Toyota Yaris Cross).
Where each one leads
The Hyundai Venue: the lower starting price ($23,750 against $31,790), more power (90kW against 85kW) and the higher braked towing limit (1,100kg against 400kg).
The Toyota Yaris Cross: the bigger boot with the seats up (390L against 355L) and lower fuel or energy costs on our assumptions ($1,083 a year against $1,995).
The Verdict
Toyota Yaris Cross scores higher, 77 vs 70

How to read this page. Prices, specifications, ANCAP ratings, warranty, the CarSorted Score and the verdict come from our records for the grades shown, sourced from the manufacturers' Australian documents, and change when those records change; the date each was last checked is printed under the headline. Prices are recommended retail prices before on-road costs unless marked drive-away. A plug-in hybrid's fuel figure is labelled with its basis: with a full battery (the certified combined figure) or as a hybrid (battery depleted). Charging and running costs are estimates on the stated assumptions. Always confirm price and specification with the manufacturer or dealer before you buy. CarSorted does not accept payment for recommendations.
