Toyota Yaris Cross Hybrid SUV Unveiled: Will Rival The Likes Of The Nissan Juke
Toyota has finally unveiled the compact SUV for the European market, the Yaris Cross. Originally, the Toyota Yaris Cross was scheduled to make a world premiere at the 2020 Geneva motor show, which got cancelled due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
The Yaris Cross is based on the latest generation Yaris hatchback available in the European market. The compact SUV underpins the company's TNGA-B platform. The Yaris Cross measures 4,180mm in length, is 1765mm wide, 1560mm in height and has a wheelbase of 2560mm. The new Yaris Cross compact SUV will be positioned below the popular C-HR globally.
The new compact SUV features styling cues from the current Toyota SUVs. At the front, it gets a two-tier grille with the Toyota logo right at the top of it, high-placed headlamps with DRLs and circular fog lamps on the lower half of the bumper (all lighting systems feature LEDs). The compact SUV also gets squared-off wheel arches and a blacked-out floating roof design. It also gets a pair of sleek-looking taillamp units and sits on 18-inch wheels.
The Toyota Yaris Cross features stylish interiors with ambient lighting, a larger floating touchscreen display and a digital instrument cluster. Moreover, the cargo area is said to have an adjustable floor and split-folding rear seats for more luggage space.
Mechanically, the Yaris Cross gets a single hybrid powertrain. The unit is a 1.5-litre, three-cylinder petrol engine mated to an electric motor and together it pumps out 115bhp of maximum power. The compact SUV will also be offered with an all-wheel-drive system.
In other recent Toyota news, due to the COVID-19 outbreak, Kerala started sending out specially developed 'Tiranga' cars which are based on the Toyota Innova MPV. The Tiranga initiative was launched by the Pathanamthitta district administration, and these cars are being used to screen Coronavirus patients from a safe distance and have been codenamed as the (RSV-1) Rapid Screening Vehicle-1.
Thoughts About The New Toyota Yaris Cross Hybrid Compact SUV
The Yaris Cross is a very stylish looking compact SUV that is loaded with features. As of now, the company does not plan to launch it in India, but if it does, the Yaris Cross will lock horns with the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Hyundai Venue, Mahindra XUV300 and Tata Nexon.
