2024 Toyota Yaris Cross price and specs

The hybrid-only Toyota Yaris Cross has received a tech upgrade and some minor styling tweaks, as well as price increases.

The updated model is in dealerships now, and prices are up by between $880 and $950 across the range.

The Yaris Cross ditches its 7.0-inch touchscreen for a larger 8.0-inch unit running Toyota’s latest-generation infotainment system, featuring cloud-based satellite navigation and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

USB-A outlets are gone, with two USB-C outlets up front.

Toyota has also made a full 7.0-inch digital instrument cluster standard across the range, which features nine patterns and three themes.

The autonomous emergency braking system now recognises motorcycles and oncoming vehicles, in addition to the cyclist, pedestrian and vehicle detection it had previously.

There’s also intersection collision avoidance and emergency steering assist, though these only operate in daylight.

Toyota has improved the adaptive cruise control and lane trace assist (lane centring) by integrating new cameras and sensors that operate over a wider area.

GXL and above get a new parking support brake, which applies the brakes if it detects you’re about to hit an obstacle while parking.

These up-spec variants also get safe exit assist, which will warn occupants if they’re about to exit the car into the path of an oncoming vehicle.

Styling changes are minor. All models get a new rear side spoiler, while the GX, GXL and Urban get a new upper grille and seat trim pattern.

The GXL gains rear privacy glass, while the Urban gets a new style of 18-inch alloy wheels.

Inside, the base GX gets illuminated vanity mirrors, two rear grab handles, and a soft armrest for the centre console.

The Yaris Cross was launched in 2020 as the brand’s entry-level crossover, slotting in underneath the C-HR.
