How does the Toyota Yaris Cross feel during overtaking?

The Toyota Yaris Cross should feel more confident during overtaking when the stronger-torque variants are chosen. The listed torque figures include 2026 1.5L Standard: 138 N·m; 2026 HEV 1.5L Standard: 121 N·m; 2026 HEV 1.5L Standard: 141 N·m. That matters because overtaking is not just about peak power; a healthy torque output helps the car respond more naturally when you need a quick burst on highways or trunk roads.
