Equipment few rivals have, on either carShowHide
Drivetrain
The Skoda Superb uses a Petrol producing 195kW and 400Nm of torque, sent through a automatic to a AWD layout. It covers the 0-100km/h sprint in 5.6 seconds.
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 Skoda Superb has the clear power advantage at 195kW vs 85kW. In the 0-100 sprint (manufacturer-claimed), the Skoda Superb is 4.2s quicker. For most buyers, the way each car feels day-to-day matters more than outright acceleration.
Space & Comfort
The Skoda Superb measures 4,912mm long on a 2,841mm wheelbase, 732mm longer than the Toyota Yaris Cross at 4,180mm (2,560mm wheelbase). The longer wheelbase on the Skoda Superb generally means more rear legroom.
Boot space is 589L in the Skoda Superb and 390L in the Toyota Yaris Cross, giving the Skoda Superb a 199L advantage.
For towing, the Skoda Superb leads with a 2,200kg braked capacity vs 400kg. That 1,800kg 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 Toyota Yaris Cross's turning circle is 0.5 m tighter, 10.6 m against 11.1 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 Skoda Superb costs about $2,166 a year (7.6 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 $1,083 a year less for the Toyota Yaris Cross.
Warranty: 7 years / Unlimited (Skoda Superb) and 5 years / Unlimited (Toyota Yaris Cross). Capped-price servicing: 6 years (Skoda Superb), no data (Toyota Yaris Cross).
Where each one leads
The Skoda Superb: more power (195kW against 85kW), the bigger boot with the seats up (589L against 390L), the longer warranty (7 years against 5) and the higher braked towing limit (2,200kg against 400kg).
The Toyota Yaris Cross: the lower starting price ($31,790 against $67,990) and lower fuel or energy costs on our assumptions ($1,083 a year against $2,166).
The Verdict
Toyota Yaris Cross scores higher, 77 vs 76

At 15,000 km a year, fuel for the Toyota Yaris Cross costs about $1,083 less (3.8 L/100km against 7.6 L/100km, at $1.90 a litre).

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.
