In 2021, Toyota launched a subcompact crossover SUV, the Yaris Cross, which over time became one of the most popular vehicles in Europe. Now a refreshed edition of this model has arrived, which will now only be available with a hybrid powertrain.

The design of the Yaris Cross has not changed much, and the new thing is that customers can now choose new body colors, Urban Khaki and Juniper Blue. Toyota engineers have done everything this time to reduce noise and vibration. A dynamic engine mount was added to the left side of the engine, a resonator was installed on the intake pipe, the internal muffler was changed from a single-layer to a three-layer construction, another layer of felt was added to the upper hood muffler, and thicker glass.

Inside, the new patterned upholstery stitching and decorative lines on the dashboard and doors match the green body color. Also, Platinum Pearl White and Silver Metallic bi-tone colors are available as exclusive options. There are also screens that are among the largest in the class in terms of size, so they are available in 7 or 12.3-inch diagonals for the driver’s instruments and 9 or 10.5 inches for the multimedia touchscreen, depending on the equipment package. The 12.3-inch screen displays dials, information and graphics, and the driver can customize the display to suit their mood or type of journey with four style options: Smart, Casual, Sporty and Tough.

The biggest change is the Hybrid 130 option powered by a 1.5-L engine with 116 hp (85 kW) or 130 hp (96 kW). It sits on a set of exclusive new 18-inch dark grey/machined five-spoke alloy wheels.
