As the newest entrant to Toyota’s comprehensive array of electrified automobiles, the All-New Yaris Cross is poised to reinforce the brand’s commitment to carbon-neutral mobility. Notably, it sets a new benchmark as Toyota’s most economically accessible electrified vehicle, rendering sustainability an attainable reality for a wider spectrum of consumers.
During the nationwide launch, which took place on August 4 and was conducted concurrently through an unveiling event in Taguig City and across Toyota’s 72 dealerships across the country, TMP’s President, Atsuhiro Okamoto, expressed the company’s aspiration to bring the electrified way of life closer to the hearts of more Filipinos.

Both the HEV and Gas variants proudly showcase LED headlamps, daytime running lamps, and fog lamps, underscoring their refinement. This elegance is equally evident in the rear combination lamp design.
Beneath the hood, the heart of the All-New Yaris Cross beats to the rhythm of a 4-cylinder, in-line, 16-valve, dual VVT-i engine, seamlessly mated to a CVT transmission.
Delving into its interior reveals a purposeful design ethos, housing an array of features dedicated to enhancing the overall riding experience.
