New Yaris Cross SUV
Yaris Cross SUV
Posted on May 8, 2020 by

Late 2020 Toyota will introduce its newest and most affordable crossover, based on the next-generation Yaris.

The Yaris Cross will join Toyota’s C-HR and RAV4 in offering both petrol and hybrid powertrains.

Toyota Australia Vice President Sales and Marketing Sean Hanley said Yaris Cross will meet the changing tastes of consumers for SUVs that has seen sales over recent years grow to represent almost 50 per cent of new vehicle sales.

“Yaris Cross is a stylish and flexible vehicle for people with active lifestyles who appreciate the strength, space and high-riding qualities of an SUV at a scale that suits their daily need to negotiate city streets and laneways,” Mr Hanley said.

Entering the new SUV Light segment, the distinctive and stylish Yaris Cross brings together Toyota’s impressive heritage in small-car styling and SUV engineering.

It is based on a ‘big-small’ design and packaging concept, presenting a roomy and flexible interior within compact exterior dimensions.

Yaris Cross is also a genuine SUV, benefiting from Toyota’s extensive experience in this category, starting more than 25 years ago with the pioneering RAV4 that is today, the world’s best-selling SUV.

The new vehicle’s authentic SUV credentials are reinforced by its raised ride height, higher driving position, practicality, interior space and available all-wheel drive (AWD).

Compared with the upcoming new Yaris hatch, ground clearance is 30mm higher and the vehicle is taller and wider overall – by 90mm and 20mm respectively.

Yaris Cross is built on Toyota’s new GA-B compact car platform. This ensures a high level of body rigidity and a well-balanced chassis, making the car responsive and agile.

Yaris and Yaris Cross are the first models to use Toyota’s new 1.5-litre, three-cylinder engine technology, including precision engineering that reduces friction and mechanical losses and optimises combustion speed.

Available all-wheel-drive technology provides extra stability and traction in everyday driving, in poor conditions and on low-grip surfaces.

In normal driving, Yaris Cross operates with front-wheel drive, but when low-grip conditions are detected, AWD is engaged automatically.

An intelligent AWD system is available with the hybrid powertrain, it is more compact and weighs less than traditional mechanical AWD units.

The electric system directs drive torque to the rear axle when pulling away and when accelerating. It is expected to achieve better fuel consumption and lower CO2 emissions than any of its AWD segment competitors.

Toyota Safety Sense (TSS)2 active safety systems and advanced driver assistance functions, along with the highly rigid new platform, are designed to meet the highest and most rigorous independent test standards.

TSS can help support safe driving practices by providing driver information, early warnings and, when necessary, automatic braking and steering intervention.
