Revolutionary Toyota Yaris Cross Surges with 111 Horsepower
In an exciting announcement made on July 25, 2023, Toyota’s Philippines subsidiary revealed its plans to launch the highly anticipated Yaris Cross in the market, and the company has already started accepting reservations. The latest model of the Yaris Cross showcases a remarkable departure from its Japanese counterpart and exudes an aura of solidity and dynamism.
The Yaris Cross, already well-received in Japan as a compact SUV, inherits the commendable traits of the popular compact car “Yaris.” However, the version being introduced in the Philippines appears to be a variant previously announced in Indonesia. Labeled as the “Solid& Dynamic” concept, the Yaris Cross boasts dimensions measuring 4310mm in length, 1770mm in width, and 1615mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2620mm and a ground clearance of 260mm, making it a size larger compared to the Japanese model.
The exterior design of the Yaris Cross strikes a perfect balance between volume and elegance, characterized by bold character lines that exude a dignified atmosphere. The sloping roof design and wide fenders further contribute to its stable and captivating silhouette when viewed from the side. Inside, the Yaris Cross boasts a sporty finish and a luxurious touch, thanks to the wide and soft dashboard panel.
Under the hood, customers in the Philippines will have the option to choose from various powertrains. The gasoline engine model features a 1.5-liter inline 4-cylinder engine that churns out a maximum output of 96 horsepower and a peak torque of 138 Nm. On the other hand, there are two hybrid models, each equipped with a 1.5-liter engine and a motor, offering a maximum combined output of 111 horsepower. The gasoline engine model can be paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a CVT, while the hybrid model comes with an electric continuously variable transmission.
Toyota Philippines has confirmed that both the gasoline engine and hybrid models will be available in the country. The automaker aims to offer an almost identical powertrain lineup to what has been showcased. As for pricing, the Yaris Cross will start at PHP 1,199,000 for the petrol engine variant and PHP 1,598,000 for the hybrid variant, providing customers with versatile choices that cater to their preferences.
Excitement is building among automotive enthusiasts as the official release date for the all-new Yaris Cross is set for August 4, 2023. Toyota’s Philippines subsidiary expressed their confidence in the upcoming model, stating that its introduction will further accelerate the evolution of electric mobility in the country. It aligns with Toyota’s broader mission to pursue carbon neutrality through their “multi-pathway approach” to sustainable transportation, an initiative shared by Toyota’s Malaysian subsidiary (TMP).
With its enticing features, hybrid options, and dedication to electric mobility, the Yaris Cross is anticipated to make a significant impact in the Philippine automotive market, attracting drivers who seek both practicality and environmental consciousness. Toyota’s commitment to creating reliable, eco-friendly vehicles is set to elevate the country’s automotive landscape and pave the way towards a greener future.
