Toyota Launches the Yaris Cross, a Compact SUV with High Expectations for Success in Brazil. With Competitive Prices and an Attractive Design, the Model Aims to Dominate the Compact SUV Segment.

The year 2024 marks a new chapter for Toyota in Brazil with the arrival of the Yaris Cross, its latest compact SUV. Designed to be a sales phenomenon, the Yaris Cross positions itself as a direct competitor to popular models such as the Hyundai Creta, Chevrolet Tracker, and Volkswagen T-Cross. With PCD versions close to R$ 100,000 and hybrid engines, Toyota aims to lead yet another category in the national market.

The Yaris Cross is built on the DNG platform, a simplified version for compact models derived from TNGA. With a length of 4.31 m, it stands out as one of the largest in the category, featuring a modern and stylish design, reminiscent of a miniaturized version of the Corolla Cross.

Powertrain and Performance

Engine options include a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated Flex with 120 horsepower and a hybrid system with 130 combined horsepower. The focus is on fuel economy, providing satisfactory performance and excellent average consumption figures.

The SUV features a robust range of safety items, including collision alert, traction and stability controls, seven airbags, lane correction assist, adaptive cruise control with stop and go functionality, among others.

The Yaris Cross will be produced at the Sorocaba plant in São Paulo, with an investment of R$ 1.6 billion from Toyota in Brazil. Prices range from about R$ 100,000 for PCD versions to R$ 160,000 for top hybrid configurations.

The Toyota Yaris Cross arrives in the Brazilian market with strong arguments for leadership in the compact SUV segment. Combining attractive design, advanced technology, fuel efficiency, and a competitive price, the model has everything to become one of the best-selling vehicles in Brazil.

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

With 70 tons of rock removed by hand and an 800-year-old abandoned cave, a former businessman transforms a dark shelter into a modern home carved in the heart of the forest.

Scientists have created a material six times lighter than air, 75 times lighter than styrofoam, and that becomes stronger the more it is compressed: aerographite seems impossible, but it can reinforce structures, batteries, and satellites.

Thinking about buying a used HB20? See why the 2015 model is still a crowd favorite, with cheap parts, easy-to-fix mechanics, a strong engine, and quick sales.

Anvisa reveals flaws in supplements from IDNLABS and suspends 11 batches that include creatine, BCAA, beta-alanine, and multivitamins; the measure affects products with quality, composition, and labeling issues, while consumers are advised to check the printed codes on the packaging.

Scientists have mapped for the first time the largest biological network on the planet, formed by underground fungi with an extension of 110 quadrillion km that transport 4 billion tons of CO₂ to the soil per year.

Where does the light go when you turn off the lamp? The answer involves invisible particles called photons, which disappear in fractions of a second inside the room but can travel billions of years through space to reach our eyes.

Adored by more than 1.5 million fans and famous for crossing deserts and mountains with its owner, a famous dog is stolen and ends up being served in a restaurant in China.

Suzuki Fronx emerges as the “compact coupe SUV” that Brazil doesn’t have: priced around R$ 37,000 in a tax-free conversion, the model has a hybrid version, 1.0 turbo engine, bold design, and the price of a popular car in India.

Not every car with a battery is truly electric; some hybrids never run solely on electric power, and since 2025, ABVE stopped counting mild hybrids as electrified, and these differences change everything when buying.

Peugeot 408 Griffe 2015 combines a turbo engine, 0 to 100 km/h in 8.3 seconds, a 526-liter trunk larger than many compact SUVs, leather, multimedia, cruise control, and a sunroof, but it remains off the radar among fully equipped used cars.
