Snapshot

  • 2022 Toyota Yaris Cross priced from $26,990 before on-road costs

  • Updated version to launch in Australia in late 2022

The 2022 Toyota Yaris Cross light SUV brings hybrid power to the compact high-rider class for the first time in Australia.

It is priced from $26,990 before on-road costs, extending to $37,990 plus on-roads for the flagship all-wheel-drive hybrid variant.

Three grades of Yaris Cross – GX, GXL, and Urban – are available, each having a trio of powertrain choices, for a total of nine variants.

The hybrid powertrain has a combined fuel consumption of 3.8L/100km with front-wheel drive.

In the light SUV class, the Toyota Yaris Cross competes against the Mazda CX-3, Kia Stonic, Hyundai Venue and Ford Puma, amongst others.

The cheapest variant of the Ford Puma has a $30,340 sticker price, while the Mazda CX-3, Kia Stonic and Hyundai Venue can be purchased for under $25,000.

In terms of size, the Yaris Cross is smaller than its C-HR sibling, which remains in the small SUV class, while being slightly larger than the Yaris hatchback on which it is based.

Toyota will bolster its compact SUV line-up in late 2022 with the addition of the Corolla Cross – the largest of the trio – which will slot below the RAV4 medium SUV.

In the coming months, a mildly-updated 2023 Toyota Yaris Cross will launch with technology and styling updates, including new colours and black leather-accented trim on Urban variants.
