SUVs of similar size and a new competition in the market is scheduled between the Japanese giants Honda and Toyota!
The dispute between Honda e Toyota promises to heat up in 2025, with the arrival of new Yaris cross e WR-V to Brazil, both SUVs that aim to win over the Brazilian public.
Os SUVs of the two Japanese brands, Honda e Toyota, have very similar dimensions, positioning themselves as more affordable alternatives compared to other compact models, such as VW T-Cross, Hyundai creta e Chevrolet tracker.
With local production scheduled for next year, both the WR-V as much as Yaris cross are in the testing phase in Brazil and should stand out in the price range that was previously occupied by models such as Renault Kardian e Fiat pulse, according to the motor1 website.

Model dimensions and capacities
When comparing the measurements of the two SUVs, we notice that the honda wr-v It is 4.312 mm long, 1.790 mm wide, 1.650 mm high and has a 2.650 mm wheelbase.
On the other hand, the Toyota yaris cross It has slightly smaller dimensions, with 4.310 mm in length, 1.770 mm in width, 1.615 mm in height and a 2.620 mm wheelbase.
Although both are larger than smaller models on the market, such as the Fiat pulse, they are positioned closer to competitors like Hyundai creta e VW T-Cross.
Engines: What to expect from each model
As far as motorization is concerned, the honda wr-v will use an engine 1.5 aspirated, already known from City, which offers 126 hp and torque of 15,5/15,8 kgfm, combined with a CVT gearbox.
A Toyota, in turn, must adopt the same 1.5 aspirated engine protocols for Yaris cross, but with the addition of a set hybrid-flex in the more expensive versions, increasing competitiveness between the two models.
Advanced equipment and technologies
both models, WR-V e Yaris cross, must come equipped with complete driver assistance packages, including adaptive autopilot, collision alert with automatic braking and lane departure warning.
Furthermore, the connectivity package will follow the trend of technologies already present in other models of the Honda e Toyota in Brazil, ensuring that consumers have access to modern and functional resources.
A promising competition in the SUV segment
The arrival of honda wr-v and Toyota yaris cross promises to shake up the SUV market in Brazil, offering competitive options to consumers.
Both models are positioned in a more affordable price range, attracting buyers looking for quality and technology in their vehicles.
With these bets, Honda e Toyota aim to strengthen their presence in the fastest growing segment in the country, consolidating themselves as leaders in an increasingly dynamic market.
I have a Honda. I've had several. If Toyota comes out with this car doing 30 km/l (but if it does 20 km/l, that's enough), it will ruin everything they're preparing for the future.
At the right price, doing km like a hybrid or electric, it will run over everyone
I have had my HRV, already on my second one, since 2017; an excellent car. Then Honda launched the new HRV, a square car with no power; as a result, it lost market share. The Corolla Cross dominates, as it is much more powerful.
Then it takes the Honda FIT out of production and hands the market over to Toyota, with the Yaris. My daughter switched to the Yaris.
This fight will be tough, but Toyota has been winning against Honda, and it won't be any different now in 2025.
The Honda Civic loses **** to the Corolla, I had a 2015, very good, but the new one didn't work well.
