Yaris Cross will be introduced as a full model range, with four core grades plus an exclusive Premiere Edition version, available for one year only. The ground clearance is 30mm higher and the vehicle is wider and taller overall – by 20 and 90mm respectively.

This story is developing and will be updated as more information becomes available.In terms of size, the Yaris Cross shares its 2,560mm wheelbase with the new Yaris hatchback but is 240mm longer overall, with 60mm added to the front and 180mm to the rear, securing more interior space. Here’s everything you need to know about the new Toyota bZ4X, from release date, price, and specs to range - horsepower - and charging time. The entry-level Toyota Corolla, it’s worth noting, makes 139 HP. Sure, everyone would like to have 400 HP, but for the right price, they might be willing to settle for 120 HP. “So it’s really important that the price point is such that we can make an actual business model out of it.”Įricksen went on to compare EV range to horsepower. “To have a positive impact on the environment, you must sell a high volume of cars,” said Toyota product planning and strategy exec Cooper Ericksen to Green Car Reports.

True to its mass-market roots, Toyota says it is focusing on affordability, not range, with its new EVs. It’s not an amazing name, but there’s a good chance that it’ll be a good car. bZ stands for “beyond Zero,” and Toyota says seven cars will carry the bZ moniker.

Though Toyota is the hybrid king after 20 years of Prius sales, it’s been extremely slow to adopt full-electric cars.
