1.5 petrol CVT FWD

STORY

Toyota revealed the Yaris Cross on 23 April 2020, after the Geneva show it was meant for had been cancelled. Japanese sales began on 31 August 2020 with a 1.5 M15A-FKS petrol or an M15A-FXE hybrid on the GA-B platform, the hybrid offered with the E-Four rear motor that the Yaris hatchback had introduced to Toyota's compact range the year before; Toyota Motor East Japan built it at Ohira and Iwate. European cars came instead from Onnaing near Valenciennes, where production started on 5 July 2021 toward a target of 300,000 a year. A GR SPORT grade reached Japan on 8 August 2022, and Europe gained a Hybrid 130 system announced on 21 November 2023, rated 96 kW against the earlier 85 kW. Asian markets have a separate Yaris Cross, the AC200, which Daihatsu developed on the DNGA-B platform and which is a different car.
