Toyota Rebrands 2021 Yaris Cross To Be More Adventurous Prior To Sales Debut

Japanese multinational automotive manufacturer, Toyota has unleashed a rebranded Yaris Cross 2021 into the European market in the world full of automakers looking to add as many crossover SUVs, and trucks as possible.

The company released pictures and information regarding the complete range of the Yaris Cross but the hybrid subcompact SUV will reach dealerships more than a year since it was globally unveiled.

The model will become available for “pre-launch reservations” from the second quarter of the year, ahead of the commercial launch slated for September (there’s no pricing info just yet, though).

The Toyota Yaris Cross was dressed up in an elegant grade back in April 2020, when it was first unveiled. Now, the B-segment SUV will also be offered as the Yaris Cross Adventure or Yaris Cross Premiere Edition

This derivative of the hybrid crossover is, as the name implies, a bit more rugged as it “emphasizes the car’s suitability for life beyond urban streets, for time spent exploring and enjoying the great outdoors and open roads.” As such, we can see added protection elements, standard roof rails, new 18-inch dark grey alloys, and a purposeful treatment bestowed upon the interior.

The fourth-generation setup combines a 1.5-liter Atkinson cycle mill with an electric motor and outputs 116 ps (114 hp). Better still, it is hooked up to an optional AWD-i system, and the intelligent all-wheel-drive system also includes “a manually-selected mode switch for Trail and Snow modes to enhance vehicle stability in tricky road conditions.”
