Even before its official reveal, much talk (and a few spoilers) has already been heard about Toyota’s latest hybrid addition.

But now, Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) has officially introduced the All-New Toyota Yaris Cross, — a subcompact vehicle, to its electrified vehicle lineup.

This addition aims to strengthen Toyota’s commitment to carbon-neutral mobility as it comes at an attractive price point, making it their most affordable electrified vehicle to date. The nationwide launch took place on August 4, with unveiling events in Taguig City and Toyota’s 72 dealerships across the country. TMP President Atsuhiro Okamoto expressed the company’s desire to make the electrified lifestyle more accessible to Filipinos.

The All-New Yaris Cross 1.5 S HEV CVT is priced at PhP 1,598,000. Two non-electrified variants are also available — All-New Yaris Cross 1.5 V CVT and 1.5 G CVT with pricing at PhP 1,296,000 and PhP 1,199,000 respectively.

From August 4-6, the All-New Yaris Cross will be available for viewing at the Amphitheater at Bonifacio Global City.

The Yaris Cross offers Toyota customers a wide range of easy and practical choices in hybrid electric vehicles (HEV). It presents a best-value package that combines a modern and striking design with advanced vehicle features and technologies that enhance the lives of today’s drivers with diverse passions.

From its exterior to its interior, the All-New Yaris Cross exhibits a solid and dynamic design. Its sleek metallic body comes in various colorways, complemented by a black interior featuring stylish blue accents and a dashboard equipped with advanced features.

The front grille boasts a trapezoid design, while the rear showcases a compact back door and geometric rear lights. For the HEV variant, a panoramic moonroof adds to the premium styling of the All-New Yaris Cross.

Both the HEV and Gas variants feature LED headlamps, daytime running lamps, and fog lamps, showcasing sophistication in their rear combination lamp design.

Under the hood, the All-New Yaris Cross is powered by a 4-cylinder, in-line, 16-valve, dual VVT-i engine paired with CVT transmission.

It also offers a thoughtfully designed interior to enhance the riding experience including a 7-inch TFT multi-information display, a wireless charging dock, and a panoramic view monitor, adding to the enjoyment of the journey.

Moreover, features like electric power steering (EPS) and wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto with Bluetooth and voice command elevate the driving experience even further. The HEV variant also boasts an exclusive 6-Speaker Pioneer system, providing exceptional audio quality.

Safety is a top priority in the All-New Yaris Cross, as evident from the advanced safety technologies across different variants. The S HEV and V CVT variants come with Toyota Safety Sense, featuring Pre-Collision System (PCS), Automatic High Beam (AHB), Lane Departure Alert (LDA), Lane Tracing Assist (LTA), and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC). Meanwhile, the G CVT variant is equipped with active safety features like Electronic Brake Distribution (EBS), Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS), Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), and Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC), ensuring a secure driving experience in any situation.

The all-new Yaris Cross is also the first Toyota vehicle to carry the HEV carbon neutrality badge which symbolizes the company’s commitment towards a carbon-neutral future.
