The Toyota Yaris Cross (Japanese: トヨタ・ヤリスクロス, Toyota Yarisu Kurosu) is a subcompact crossover SUV produced by the Japanese automaker Toyota using the Yaris nameplate primarily for Japanese and European market. It is built on GA-B platform as the XP210 series Yaris and positioned between the Raize and C-HR in Toyota's crossover SUV lineup. It replaces the Japanese/European market Ist/Urban Cruiser.[2][3]
The Yaris Cross was originally planned to be unveiled on the 2020 Geneva Motor Show,[4] however the show was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5][6] Toyota then released the first pictures and specifications of the Yaris Cross on 23 April 2020.[1][7] The model is slated to be on sale in Japan in the third quarter of 2020 and in Europe in mid-2021,[8] where it will be manufactured in the same plant as the standard Yaris in Japan at Toyota Motor East Japan and France at Toyota Motor Manufacturing France.[1]
The design of the Yaris Cross is a collaboration between Toyota's European and Japanese studios. The wheelbase is the same as the European-market Yaris, but the ground clearance is increased by 30 mm (1.2 in) over the standard Yaris.[1]
