Overview
- The 2026 Yaris Cross, unveiled Thursday for Europe and the UK, adopts a body‑coloured honeycomb grille, revised LED headlamps, and new 17‑ and 18‑inch wheels with fresh colours including Precious Bronze and Persian Salt.
- The hybrid‑only range continues with two tunes of the 1.5‑litre setup, with Hybrid 115 on the base grade and Hybrid 130 offering about 130 PS and 185 Nm, and AWD‑i remains available on specified versions.
- A new GR Sport grade joins the line‑up with a unique bumper, machined 18‑inch alloys, suede‑style sport seats, GR trim accents, and retuned suspension, and it is offered only with the Hybrid 130 in front‑wheel drive.
- Cabin updates add platinum‑colour trim, broader availability of sport seats, ambient lighting and wireless charging on mid trims, SakuraTouch eco upholstery on higher grades, and a powered tailgate on top variants, with safety gains including parking support brake and blind‑spot monitoring on upper models.
- These changes apply to French‑built European models, and outlets note it is unclear whether Japanese‑built versions that supply markets such as Australia will get the same facelift, a key question given the Yaris Cross was Toyota’s European best‑seller in 2025 at about 200,000 units.
