After Launching The Yaris Cross In Asia, The Manufacturer Confirms That The New SUV Will Also Land In Brazilian Territory. And Guess What: It Comes To Be A Strong Competitor, Positioning Itself Right Below The Already Known Corolla Cross.
The Yaris Cross has an estimated price between R$ 130,000 and R$ 170,000, depending on the version. This places the model in a very competitive range, considering that the entry-level version of the Corolla Cross is priced at around R$ 163,000.
When it comes to the engine, the Yaris Cross offers options for all tastes. In Asia, it is sold with a 1.5-liter aspirated engine that delivers 106 horsepower and a torque of up to 14 kgfm.
But if you’re part of the team that enjoys hybrid technology, the model also has versions that feature a 1.5L engine with 80 horsepower combined with an electric motor of 90 horsepower.

Dimensions, Equipment, And Safety Of The New Yaris Cross From Toyota
Check out the dimensions: the Yaris Cross is 4.31 meters long, 1.77 meters wide, and 1.65 meters high, with a wheelbase of 2.62 meters. It stands there, toe to toe with the Hyundai Creta, TCross, and others.
The Toyota has outdone itself with the equipment. The optical assembly is fully LED, and the top-of-the-line version may also include wheels up to 17 inches. In terms of safety, it does not disappoint: it comes with advanced braking systems, stability and traction control, and a high-strength body.
Inside, the SUV shows that Toyota has thought of every detail. It features a soft-touch finish and a fully digital panel, something that even the Chevrolet Tracker, the sales leader, does not offer. And it doesn’t stop there: the Yaris Cross 2024 will have a touchscreen multimedia center and single-zone digital air conditioning.
The calendar is already set: the Yaris Cross is expected to arrive in Brazil in 2024. With this configuration and a non-turbo engine, does it have the stamina to gain ground in a market already dominated by its competitors?
