New Compact SUV Will Be Manufactured in Sorocaba (SP), Will Bring Hybrid Version, and Will Compete with T-Cross, HR-V, and Creta

The Toyota Yaris Cross will be the brand’s main launch in Brazil in 2025. The model arrives in October with an urban SUV proposal, three confirmed versions, and a hybrid option, promising a consumption of up to 19 km/l with gasoline, according to data obtained by specialized press.

The information was previously reported by the website Carros na Web and partially confirmed by Autoesporte. The Yaris Cross will be produced at the Sorocaba (SP) plant and will use the DNGA platform, derived from the Corolla’s TNGA. It will occupy the space below the Corolla Cross, in a segment contested by Volkswagen T-Cross, Honda HR-V, and Hyundai Creta.

Three Versions and Standout Features in All of Them

The XLS version adds a front sensor, lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, leather power seats, 18-inch wheels, and onboard Wi-Fi with induction charger. The XLS Hybrid adds panoramic sunroof, 360° cameras, electric trunk lid, and an energy regeneration system.

All versions will feature electronic parking brake with auto-hold, a modern multimedia center, and LED headlights. National production will ensure available parts and lower maintenance costs compared to imported rivals.

Flex and Hybrid Engines: Consumption is the Highlight of the Electric Version

The XS and XLS versions will have the known updated 1.5 flex aspirated engine, with up to 110 hp and 14.3 kgfm torque, coupled with a seven-speed simulated CVT. The acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h will be achieved in 13 seconds, with a maximum speed of 170 km/h.

The estimated consumption is 12 km/l in the city and 13 km/l on the highway with gasoline, according to press surveys. With ethanol, the averages drop to 8 and 9 km/l, respectively. The tank holds 42 liters, following the efficiency trend of Proconve L8.

<pIn the XLS Hybrid, the combustion engine operates on the Atkinson cycle (with up to 95 hp) and is combined with an 80 hp electric motor, delivering a combined power of 115 hp. In this case, urban consumption reaches 19 km/l with gasoline, and 13 km/l with ethanol. The autonomy is favored by the 36-liter tank.

DNGA Platform, Interior Space, and Generous Trunk

With 4.31 meters in length, the Toyota Yaris Cross has dimensions close to the Hyundai Creta, highlighting the wheelbase of 2.62 meters and a trunk of 417 liters—more than rivals like HR-V and T-Cross. The width of 1.77 meters and height of 1.62 ensure an elevated driving position, typical of SUVs.

The model’s structure is based on the DNGA platform, created by Daihatsu. It is simpler and lighter than the TNGA used in the Corolla Cross, but maintains a good level of rigidity and safety. Production in Sorocaba is part of Toyota’s R$ 11 billion investment plan in Brazil until 2030, which includes electrification and modernization of the factory.

Do you think the Toyota Yaris Cross will perform better than national rivals? Does the hybrid version seem like a good choice to you? Share your opinion in the comments!

Esse carro está parecendo cabeça de bacalhau, já encheu essa femora toda. Vai ser a mesma frustração que foi a nova Montana…. Muito alarde para pouca coisa.

For 45 years, Spain and Morocco have been trying to connect Europe to Africa through a project of just 14 kilometers in the Strait of Gibraltar, and an active tectonic fault on the seabed continues to make the project nearly impossible.

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

Gepard 1A2: the armored vehicle that fires 1,100 rounds per minute and became a shield against drones in Brazil.

The United States Army has an armored vehicle that reaches speeds of up to 100 km/h, capable of operating normally on different types of terrain and also on asphalt without causing damage; equipped with a 350 hp engine, it can transport up to 9 soldiers — meet the Stryker.

Man loses his job, faces a 55,000 km bike ride through more than 50 countries, endures desert, heat of 51 degrees, accidents, and isolation on a journey that began with the goal of reaching India.

If you are obtaining or renewing your driver’s license, you need to know this now: a new law divides the fee into stages, and those who choose only the digital license will not have to pay for the printed document in 2026.

After decades of failed attempts, Brazil is once again looking to space with an orbital rocket measuring 12 meters, weighing 12 tons, costing R$ 189 million, and scheduled for launch in 2026, in a new race to finally achieve autonomous access to orbit.

The Earth will plunge into a few minutes of darkness in broad daylight in August 2026, when a total solar eclipse transforms the sky into one of the most impressive astronomical phenomena in recent years.

These living root bridges and ladders are over 700 years old and help indigenous people survive in one of the rainiest regions in the world.

The largest food company on the planet, JBS, has just opened a 4,000 square meter laboratory in Florianópolis to develop customized proteins that modulate muscle mass gain, immune response, and metabolic performance.

After nearly 30 bids and competition among industry giants, a Spanish company purchases one of the largest airports in Brazil for almost R$ 3 billion and takes over the management of Galeão in a concession that will last until 2039.
