Default 2021 Yaris Cross

Another Day, Another Crossover Reveal.






Nothing noted for the U.S. at this point.

Built on the same basic platform as the newest Yaris, the Cross stretches 164.5 inches long, 69.4 inches wide, and 61.4 inches tall, dimensions that make it approximately seven inches shorter, an inch narrower, and about as high as the C-HR. It's less spacecraft-like thanks in part to a tall, upright front fascia, squared-off wheel arches covered by plastic trim, and a relatively high amount of ground clearance. The fully-loaded model defies its entry-level label with 18-inch alloy wheels, LED lighting on both ends, and two-tone paint.

You're correct. I meant to say nothing confirmed for U.S. yet, not Europe only.

Design wise, looking at the pictures a little more in detail. I don't like how the window switches are seemingly awkwardly on a ledge up above the rest of the armrest. Will reserve final judgement until sitting in one.

The Jaguar XE was that way, prior to its midcycle refresh.

That would be aimed squarely at the Hyundai Venue and Kona.

The Yaris is a very habitable car.

I'm always against the SUV hoax, because they are not always generally more roomy. Probably because the floorline goes up and the roofline are goes down in the process. Hope Toyota will not make the same mistake. But if this Yaris is simply an overexpensive Yaris on high heels, it will probably be habitable.

I do not believe so. Its not coming to the US anyways. I think it has some Mazda in it. The UX and CH-R are the same .

This is based on the European Yaris, which has nothing to do with the Yaris peddled here, which is Mazda based. This is based on a smaller version of the TNGA architecture, GA-B. CH-R, Prius and Corolla are on what Toyota considers the midsize TNGA architecture GA-C. While GA-K is the RAV4, Camry, etc.

This has nothing to do with Mazda.

I recommend turning down the annoying music, though.
