New images revealing how the Toyota Yaris
Cross looks like real life have surfaced online. Compared to the Toyota C-HR,
it is smaller and has a more conventional design. The Toyota Yaris Cross is
4,180 mm long, 1,765 mm wide and 1,560 mm tall. So, it’s roughly the size of
the European VW T-Cross, which measures 4,108 mm in length, 1,799 mm in width
and 1,584 mm in height. While the German SUV has a 2,551 mm wheelbase, the
Japanese SUV has a tad longer, 2,560 mm wheelbase.
The Toyota Yaris Cross sits on the GA-B
version of the TNGA platform. For those wondering if it's related to the Toyota
Yaris sedan sold in India, the fact is that it has no connection at all. It
actually belongs to the Mk4 Toyota Yaris family, which was brought to life with
a hatchback in October last year.
Toyota will offer the Yaris Cross in
petrol and hybrid variants. The petrol variant employs the M15A-FKS 1.5-litre
direct-injection three-cylinder petrol engine that produces 120 PS and 145 Nm
of torque. The hybrid variant uses the M15A-FXE 1.5-litre direct-injection
three-cylinder petrol engine along with the 1NM electric motor and (in only the
AWD configuration) the 1MM electric motor. Detailed specifications have been
included towards the end of the story.
LED headlights, 18-inch alloy wheels, LED
tail lights, 10-inch colour head-up display, 8-inch touchscreen infotainment
system with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and sat-nav and 40:20:40 split rear
seats are some of the key features of the Toyota Yaris Cross.
