Compared to its cousin, the Perodua Traz, the Yaris Cross is RM18,800 more expensive than the range-topping Traz H variant, priced at RM81,800.
Its dimensions are identical to the Traz’s, at 4,310 mm long, 1,770 mm wide, and 1,615 mm tall, with a wheelbase of 2,620 mm. According to UMW Toyota, the Yaris Cross has a ground clearance of 210 mm, enabling it to wade through flooded roads up to 600 mm deep.
Apart from that, the rest of the exterior looks similar to the Perodua Traz’s, with the Yaris Cross featuring a design reminiscent of a scaled-down Toyota RAV4, particularly on the front fascia and rear, where the taillights resemble those of the Lexus NX.

The Yaris Cross also features a larger center infotainment display, a 10.1-inch touchscreen, compared to the Traz’s nine-inch unit.
Bootspace in the Toyota Yaris Cross is 471 liters with the rear seats up. The hybrid variant has a slightly smaller boot, at 465 liters, but both variants get a 200mm deep underfloor compartment for extra storage.

Powering the pure petrol-powered Toyota Yaris Cross is a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine, making 106 hp and 138 Nm. This is paired to a D-CVT gearbox that drives the front wheels.
On the other hand, the Yaris Cross HEV features the marque’s fourth-generation series-parallel hybrid system, pairing a 91 hp/121 Nm 1.5-litre Atkinson-cycle engine with an 80 hp/141 Nm traction motor.
The combined system output is rated at 111 hp, with drive sent exclusively to the front wheels via an eCVT.
