Comparison between two compact SUV giants, highlighting efficiency, innovation and design in the Brazilian market!

Toyota Yaris Cross 2025: This model arrives in Brazil with impressive energy efficiency, reaching up to 30 km/l thanks to its 1.5-liter flex hybrid system combined with an electric motor.

This configuration not only leads in fuel economy, but also significantly reduces CO₂ emissions, standing out as one of the most affordable hybrids in the country.

Volkswagen T-Cross: The T-Cross, while not a hybrid, offers TSI engines that are known for their efficiency and performance.

The 1.0 TSI version, for example, provides a good balance between power and fuel economy, making it a popular choice among urban consumers looking for efficiency without compromising performance.

Design and platform

Toyota Yaris Cross: Built on the platform DNGA (Daihatsu New Global Architecture), the Yaris Cross combines structural lightness with a modern and aerodynamic design, features that enhance both the performance and aesthetics of the SUV.

Elements such as alloy wheels, LED headlights and a panoramic sunroof are highlights.

Driver assistance technology includes parking sensors and a rearview camera, providing safe and confident driving.

Price and market positioning

All that was missing was to mention the T-cross's 150hp that the Yaris doesn't have.

The Yaris Cross has everything it needs to sell a lot and do well here in Brazil. It just depends on the prices, because it already has the Brand/Name/Status of a Toyota in its DNA... Even though it comes in a castrated state like so many other entry-level SUVs here on the market, all made of plastic too, such as the TCROSS Sense 124.900,00. Then the 200 TSI 246k, then the Comfortline 165 and finally the Highline 184 thousand... Of course the Yaris Cross can take half of that slice of the pie. Just put its price between 120 to 154.000 thousand... The proposal of 165.000,00 thousand is already starting to get bitter. The Chinese from BYD have prices close to that and the Honda WRV, the Jeep Avenger and the Nissan Novo KIKS will arrive.
