Q
When will Toyota Yaris Cross be launched in Malaysia?
The launch of the Toyota Yaris Cross in Malaysia has been confirmed to be delayed until 2025. Initially scheduled for release between September and October 2024, the launch has now been rescheduled to 2025 due to several factors, including rigorous quality verification to ensure that the vehicle meets the demands of the Southeast Asian market.
This compact SUV, built on the DNGA-B platform, is specifically designed for the Southeast Asian market, with dimensions of 4310mm x 1770mm x 1615mm and a wheelbase of 2620mm. It offers a ground clearance of 210mm, balancing urban driving flexibility with the ability to handle complex road conditions. The Yaris Cross comes equipped with popular features such as a panoramic sunroof, Level 2 semi-autonomous driving assistance system (Toyota Safety Sense), six airbags, and an electric tailgate.
In terms of powertrains, the vehicle will be available with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine (106 PS/138 Nm, matched to a D-CVT transmission) or a 1.5-liter hybrid system (109 PS, paired with an E-CVT). This dual-option setup caters to both fuel economy and performance. Notably, the Yaris Cross will be introduced in Malaysia as a CKD (completely knocked down) unit, potentially allowing for a more competitive pricing strategy. Additionally, the hybrid version's impressive fuel efficiency—approximately 17.5 kilometers per liter—will attract environmentally conscious and cost-effective consumers.
As the demand for compact SUVs in the Malaysian market continues to grow, the Yaris Cross's entry will further enrich Toyota's product lineup in this segment.
