General comparison
In the competitive compact SUV segment in Brazil, the Toyota yaris cross stands out for its hybrid engine and 30 km/l efficiency, while the Volkswagen T-Cross offers an effective combination of design, technology and fuel economy with its TSI engines.
Both models bring innovations and distinct styles, meeting the demands of consumers looking for efficiency, comfort and technology.
The choice between the Yaris Cross and the T-Cross will depend on each consumer’s priorities – whether it’s the superior energy efficiency of the Yaris Cross or the balance between performance and technology of the T-Cross.
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.
