Primarily marketed for the Japanese, European, Oceanian, and Singaporean markets, the XP210 series Yaris Cross is built onGA-B platform as theXP210 series Yaris hatchback and positioned between theAygo X orRaize andC-HR in Toyota's crossover SUV lineup. It replaces the Japanese/European marketXP110 series Ist/Urban Cruiser.[4][5][6][7]
The Yaris Cross was originally planned to be unveiled at the2020 Geneva Motor Show;[8] however, the show was cancelled due to theCOVID-19 pandemic.[9][10] Toyota then released the first pictures and specifications of the Yaris Cross on 23 April 2020.[2][11] The model went on sale in Japan in September 2020, Australia in November 2020 and in Europe in mid-2021.[12]
Development was done alongside the Yaris hatchback, led by Yasunori Suezawa as chief engineer and Hideaki Hayashi as deputy chief engineer under the internal "Toyota Compact Car Company".[13] The design of the Yaris Cross is a collaboration between Toyota's European and Japanese studios, combining cues from the Yaris with features from Toyota's larger SUVs such as the more angularRAV4. According to Toyota, the Yaris Cross resembles a diamond when viewed from above because of its wider midsection, which allowed the designers to broaden the wheel arches to achieve a more 'rugged' styling. The dashboard design shares many components with the Yaris hatchback.[14] The wheelbase of the Yaris Cross is identical to the European market Yaris, but the ground clearance is increased by 30 mm (1.2 in) over the standard Yaris.[2]
Toyota offers anall-wheel-drive variant (Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, AWD-i) for the hybrid version, unlike other B-segment SUVs which are predominantly front-wheel drive especially in Europe. The system does not require adriveshaft, and instead utilising an electrifiedrear axle that supplies power during acceleration or when more traction is required. Under theWLTP test cycle, the i-AWD version of the new Yaris Cross emits 135 grams of CO2 per kilometer, and 120 g/km for the front-wheel drive variant.[3]
