The base Yaris Cross GX gains blind-spot monitoring and safe-exit assist, as well as heated exterior mirrors and Toyota’s parking support brake feature. This applies the brakes if the system detects a crossing vehicle, object or pedestrian while you’re reversing, and was introduced to other trim levels last year. No other changes have been announced for the Yaris Cross. The updates follow a suite of changes rolled out in 2024, the first year the Yaris Cross was offered without a (non-hybrid) petrol powertrain. At the time, it upgraded to a larger 8.0-inch touchscreen running Toyota’s latest generation of infotainment, swapped USB-A outlets for USB-C ones, gained a 7.0-inch digital instrument cluster across the range, and received minor changes to interior and exterior trim. Safety upgrades included improved autonomous emergency braking (AEB), adaptive cruise control and lane centring systems, while prices were increased by between $880 and $950 across the range. Pricing Drivetrains and Efficiency Just one powertrain is offered in the Yaris Cross, though it can be had with either front- or all-wheel drive. All-wheel drive models swap the torsion-beam rear suspension for a multi-link setup. They also feature a selectable Trail Mode, while the AWD system can send up to 60 per cent of drive to the rear. All models have 283mm ventilated front disc brakes with a floating single-cylinder caliper, but front-wheel drive models have 265mm solid rear discs and all-wheel drive models have 281mm solid rear discs. Dimensions Servicing and Warranty The Toyota Yaris Cross is backed by a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty. Toyota offers capped-price servicing for the first five years or 75,000km, whichever comes first. Servicing is required every 12 months or 15,000km, with each visit costing $255.
