The introduction of the Toyota Yaris Cross in 2025 has already been confirmed and is set to revolutionize the automotive sector in Brazil. This new mini SUV model combines efficiency and innovation, aiming to lead the compact SUV segment with sustainable and affordable solutions that meet modern consumer demands.
Expected to arrive in 2025, the Toyota Yaris Cross, besides being the cheapest SUV from Toyota, promises to be the cheapest hybrid in Brazil. This compact SUV, capable of achieving up to 30 km/l, will be a flex hybrid designed to compete with models like Honda HR-V, Nissan Kicks, Chevrolet Tracker, Hyundai Creta, and Jeep Renegade. This highly anticipated mini SUV is set to shake up the national automotive market with its various versions and configurations.

The 2012 Mitsubishi Pajero Dakar diesel shows 314,000 km and still draws attention for its reputation for durability; the seven-seater 4×4 SUV handles trails, but signs of severe use may conceal losses for used car buyers.
Focused on performance and economy, the Toyota Yaris Cross will be equipped with a hybrid system that combines a 1.5 16V flex engine with an 81 hp electric motor, generating a total power output of 113 hp and 14.9 kg of torque. This setup is accompanied by an eCVT transmission and an energy regeneration system, allowing an impressive figure of 30 km/l.
There is also a non-electrified 1.5 16V engine available for the more basic versions, producing about 106 hp and 14.1 kgfm, values similar to those of the Yaris hatch and sedan produced in Brazil using gasoline. It will be mated to a CVT automatic transmission. The Yaris Cross is notably lightweight, weighing 1,150 kg.
Safety: Toyota Yaris Cross Offers Six Airbags, Disc Brakes on All Four Wheels
The engineers at Toyota paid special attention to safety and comfort in the Yaris Cross. The Yaris Cross comes equipped with six airbags, disc brakes on all four wheels, as well as advanced technologies such as pre-collision detection, lane-keeping assistance, full LED headlights with automatic height adjustment, adaptive cruise control, LED taillights, and 18-inch alloy wheels.
For the comfort of the occupants, the Yaris Cross includes a 7-inch digital dashboard, automatic climate control, and a 10.1-inch multimedia center.
Mini SUV Yaris Cross is the Cheapest Car from Japanese Toyota and Will Be Manufactured in Sorocaba (SP)
Toyota is investing R$1.7 billion in its Sorocaba, São Paulo factory for the local production of the Yaris Cross. To achieve the goal of being the cheapest hybrid in Brazil, the Toyota Yaris Cross only needs to have a starting price below R$ 187,790 currently charged for the Corolla Altis Hybrid.
Expectations are that prices will start around R$ 150,000 for the 1.5 model and R$ 165,000 for the hybrid, positioning itself competitively against the Honda HR-V, which has a 1.5 engine producing 126 hp.
This initiative not only promises more competitive prices but also aims to boost the local economy by generating jobs and fostering the Brazilian automotive industry.
What to Expect from the Yaris Cross
More than just a car, the Toyota Yaris Cross represents a statement of innovation and commitment to sustainability. This model promises to transform the compact SUV market in Brazil, offering an attractive option for conscious consumers. With efficiency, comfort, and cutting-edge technology, the Yaris Cross is ready to lead its segment and inspire future innovations in the automotive industry.

Gostaria de saber informações sobre o lançamento do novo suv da Toyota, valor, consumo, data de lançamento e aquisição.
O Tiggo 7 está 137mil, um baita de um carro.
Alguns amigos tem e estão muito satisfeitos.
Como que um carro que parte de 150.000 vai vende que nem água no Brasil? Tá ruim pra Toyota se pensa que um carro mini SUV por 150.000 vai vender que nem água. Por este valor, vai no pátio e servir de museu. Tem quem dê esse valor ele? Com certeza, mas não a ponto de se imaginar que irá assumir o topo de vendas dos SUV no Brasil. Tá longe disso, nesse valor. É uma piada…
