2026 Toyota Yaris Cross: Updated Pricing, Features, and Hybrid Powertrains

The most manufactured urban SUV in France receives a significant update. Produced at Toyota's Onnaing plant in northern France, the Yaris Cross undergoes an exterior facelift, enhancements in presentation, and an upward revision of its pricing. Here’s what to expect from this refreshed model.

A 100% Hybrid Offering

Toyota has opted to maintain its successful hybrid powertrain strategy for the Yaris Cross. The vehicle continues to offer the same non-plug-in hybrid engines, a decision supported by its commercial success, with over 200,000 units sold across Europe, including nearly 32,000 in France.

The SUV is available in two power outputs: 116 or 130 horsepower. Both variants can be equipped with front-wheel drive, while the Hybrid 130 also offers an all-wheel drive (AWD-i) option. This system features an electric motor on the rear axle, which engages the rear wheels when traction conditions require it. This technology is already seen in several other manufacturers' vehicles, such as Jeep, Alfa Romeo, and Dacia.

One of the standout features of the Yaris Cross is its fuel efficiency. Toyota claims an average consumption of 4.4 liters per 100 kilometers for the Hybrid 116 version, while the Hybrid 130 ranges from 4.4 to 5 liters per 100 kilometers, depending on whether it has all-wheel drive. Like all of Toyota's conventional hybrids, these powertrains do not require external charging: the battery is recharged automatically during deceleration and braking, simplifying everyday use while leveraging a technology known for its reliability.

Comprehensive Equipment but Higher Prices

Starting with the entry-level Dynamic trim, which is exclusively paired with the Hybrid 116, the Yaris Cross presents a compelling offering. It includes LED headlights, automatic climate control, a rearview camera supplemented by front and rear parking sensors, keyless entry and ignition, and wireless compatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. However, the starting price is set at €29,500, positioning it against several electric SUVs now available at comparable or even lower price points.

The Design trim, reserved for the Hybrid 130, enhances the vehicle's presentation with 17-inch alloy wheels, Full LED taillights, roof rails, a 10.5-inch central display, and an induction smartphone charger. This variant is priced from €32,200 for the front-wheel drive model and €34,200 for the AWD-i version.

The Trail and GR Sport trims sit at the top of the lineup, featuring 18-inch wheels, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, and an electric tailgate. Depending on the chosen engine and transmission, their prices range from €35,600 to €37,600.

In addition to aesthetic changes, this update comes with a price increase. Depending on the version, the Toyota Yaris Cross sees its price rise by €700 to €1,000. This increase occurs amidst growing competition in the urban SUV segment, particularly from electric models often priced very competitively.
