Toyota Yaris Cross breaks cover: Hyundai Creta rivaling SUV for ASEAN countries – Times of India

Toyota has revealed a new mid-size SUV for ASEAN markets in the form of Yaris Cross. Not to be confused with the Yaris Cross sold in Europe, the Yaris Cross for ASEAN countries is a brand-new SUV that will directly rival the Hyundai Creta. The new Yaris Cross will go on sale in Indonesia first, followed by other markets later on.
Based on the DNGA platform, the Yaris Cross measures 4,310 mm in length, 1,770 mm in width, stands 1,615 mm tall and gets a 2,620 mm long wheelbase. It gets a five-seat configuration as standard. On the outside, design highlights include a trapezoidal grille at the front, flanked by sharp headlights with LED DRLs. Other styling bits include squared-off wheel arches, diamond-cut alloy wheels and skid plates on both ends.

Inside the cabin, the car gets a large freestanding touchscreen infotainment system, an all-black cabin with contrasting blue stitching and other elements, a chunky multi-function steering wheel, physical buttons for climate control, and a panoramic sunroof. Powering the Yaris Cross is a 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine putting out 104 PS of maximum power and 138 Nm of peak torque. There’s also a petrol-hybrid engine putting out a combined 115 PS power, mated to an e-CVT gearbox.

Toyota has equipped the Yaris Cross with an Electric Parking Brake (EPB) with Auto Brake Hold, Six airbags, ABS+EBD and brake assist, Emergency Stop Signal, Hill Start Assist (HSA), Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA), and Blind Spot Monitor (BSM).
