I intend to test drive both Yaris Cross Premiere (when available  in Cheshire ), and  LBX Premium Plus Design. 

 

Yaris Cross Premiere  (YCP)  has 130 HP  instead of the LBX 136 .   

0-60  mph YCP 10.7 secs ,  9.2s for the LBX

YCP has spare space saver  wheel  ,  LBX none  .

Both have  similar  size  info screens  and binnacle 

Both have HUD

Both appear to have a lot of high spec  imitation leather  

Both appear have  similar  additional sound  control  measures  

YCP  spec  appears to be similar to  LBX Premium Plus Design,  

  YCP  £32500          LBX  non yellow ,  £36500 

Insurance Group   YCP   13/14       LBX     24

I suspect I will go with the LBX in the end and ignore the numbers , that was so nice to sit in 

It sounds like a 'head or heart' thing. Just going by the figures, especially the difference in the insurance group, head says Yaris Cross. BUT the Lexus name and quality, I expect the heart and LBX will win. Best of luck, whatever your choice.

Same dilemma here.The YCP isn’t available yet to my knowledge but as it’s narrower and higher it may win out for me. Also don’t like a can of spray foam as a spare wheel although it wouldn’t be a deal breaker. Just have to try both when available. I do fancy the Tacomi edition with better sound proofing and memory seat though…
