Toyota Yaris Cross is now officially available in Indonesia. The pros and cons of the Yaris Cross are important considerations for those who want to buy this car. Offered in 6 variants, the Yaris Cross is priced at IDR 351-449.95 million. It is currently the cheapest hybrid SUV in Toyota’s product line in Indonesia. The SUV is available in two engine options, conventional petrol and hybrid. Most people are familiar with the name Yaris and immediately think of a sporty hatchback when they hear it. However, it should be noted that the Toyota Yaris Cross and Toyota Yaris hatchback only share a similar name. The engines and platforms used in both cars are different. Like any other car, the Toyota Yaris Cross has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages of Toyota Yaris Cross:
1. Offered in Multiple Variants: The Yaris Cross is available in six variants in Indonesia, four of which are equipped with petrol engines (1.5 G MT, 1.5 G CVT, 1.5 S CVT, and 1.5 S CVT with GR Parts Aero Package) and two with hybrid engines (1.5 S HV CVT and 1.5 S HV CVT with GR Parts Aero Package). This allows potential buyers to choose a Yaris Cross that suits their needs and budget.
2. Affordable Price: The price of the Toyota Yaris Cross is quite affordable. The petrol variants range from IDR 350-410 million, while the hybrid variants are priced below IDR 500 million. Compared to other Toyota hybrid models, the Yaris Cross is the cheapest. For example, the Toyota Kijang Innova Zenix hybrid is currently priced from IDR 464-620 million, the Corolla Cross GR Sport Hybrid is priced at IDR 602.1 million, the Corolla Altis Hybrid is priced at IDR 593.3 million, and the Camry Hybrid is priced at IDR 937.4 million.

The hybrid model also features a compact lithium-ion battery that does not take up much space in the cabin.

Some of these features include a Panoramic Glass Roof with Power Sunshade, Seamless Electric Power Back Door with Kick Sensor, advanced safety features such as Electronic Brakeforce Distribution, Vehicle Stability Control, Blind Spot Monitor, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert. It also has Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) and T Intouch telematics for active safety and connectivity.
Disadvantages of Toyota Yaris Cross:
1. Average Engine Power: The Yaris Cross has two engine options, but the power output is not exceptional.
