Introducing the Larger Toyota Yaris Cross in Asia: A Surprising Addition to the Global Lineup

Are you a fan of Toyota’s wide range of models? If so, you may be surprised to learn about the Yaris Cross, a model that is not available in Europe but is making waves in Asia and other American countries like Brazil. This SUV is larger than the European version of the Yaris Cross, coming in at 4.31 meters long.

While this model may not be coming to your market, it’s still interesting to learn about the different variations of Toyota vehicles available around the world. In the compact SUV segment, Toyota already has the C-HR and the Corolla Cross, but the Yaris Cross offers a unique option for those looking for something a bit different.

The Yaris Cross uses the DNGA platform, a low-cost variant of the popular TNGA platform, making it more affordable for consumers. It offers both a 106 PS naturally aspirated 1.5-liter engine and a hybrid powertrain with an 80 PS combustion engine and a 90 PS electric powertrain. The hybrid option is impressively fuel-efficient, rated at just 3.9 liters per 100 km.

Inside, the Yaris Cross features a 10.1-inch central screen with a multimedia system compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The interior also includes physical controls for climate control and driving programs, making it both high-tech and user-friendly.

While the Yaris Cross may not be available in your area, it’s always exciting to learn about the global offerings from a brand like Toyota. Who knows, maybe one day you’ll come across one of these unique models on your travels.
