2025 Toyota Yaris Cross price and specs

7NEWS08-05-2025

The Toyota Yaris Cross has received more updates for 2025, predominantly around the light SUV's safety equipment.
There have been corresponding price increases, from as little as $40 to as much as $800 depending on the variant.
All Yaris Cross vehicles now feature a low-speed acoustic alert system to warn other road users of their presence when running in electric mode, and also move to R1234yf refrigerant for their air-conditioning systems.
Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now.
The base Yaris Cross GX gains blind-spot monitoring and safe-exit assist, as well as heated exterior mirrors and Toyota's parking support brake feature.
This applies the brakes if the system detects a crossing vehicle, object or pedestrian while you're reversing, and was introduced to other trim levels last year.
No other changes have been announced for the Yaris Cross.
The updates follow a suite of changes rolled out in 2024, the first year the Yaris Cross was offered without a (non-hybrid) petrol powertrain.
At the time, it upgraded to a larger 8.0-inch touchscreen running Toyota's latest generation of infotainment, swapped USB-A outlets for USB-C ones, gained a 7.0-inch digital instrument cluster across the range, and received minor changes to interior and exterior trim.
Safety upgrades included improved autonomous emergency braking (AEB), adaptive cruise control and lane centring systems, while prices were increased by between $880 and $950 across the range.
Pricing
Drivetrains and Efficiency
Just one powertrain is offered in the Yaris Cross, though it can be had with either front- or all-wheel drive.
All-wheel drive models swap the torsion-beam rear suspension for a multi-link setup. They also feature a selectable Trail Mode, while the AWD system can send up to 60 per cent of drive to the rear.
All models have 283mm ventilated front disc brakes with a floating single-cylinder caliper, but front-wheel drive models have 265mm solid rear discs and all-wheel drive models have 281mm solid rear discs.
Dimensions
Servicing and Warranty
The Toyota Yaris Cross is backed by a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty.
Toyota offers capped-price servicing for the first five years or 75,000km, whichever comes first. Servicing is required every 12 months or 15,000km, with each visit costing $255.

The Toyota Yaris Cross has a five-star safety rating from ANCAP based on testing conducted in 2021.
All models come standard with the following equipment:
Autonomous emergency braking
Adaptive cruise control
Blind-spot monitoring

Kia Australia product boss "would love" the K4 Wagon, but it might be too niche

The Kia K4 Sedan will soon be joined by a hatchback body style and a more efficient petrol engine in Australia, and the wagon variant is also on Kia Australia's wishlist – but the business case may not stack up here. Speaking with CarExpert at the Australian launch of the updated Kia Sportage mid-size SUV, general manager for product at Kia Australia, Roland Rivero, said that while a K4 Wagon will likely be offered in right-hand drive for the UK, demand for wagons continues to shrink in Australia. 'The ultimate question is the appetite. The [Australian] market has evolved, and I think it's very SUV-biased. I'd love a wagon, but I think the business case for our market is not as much as Europe's,' Mr Rivero said. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. Above: 2026 Kia K4 Wagon prototype When asked if the wagon-bodied K4 could be reserved for a GT warm performance hero, Mr Rivero remained reluctant. 'It would be pretty expensive. We'd have to convince the Mexican plant for that additional variant, which isn't that hard because the UK will have it in right-hand drive – but it's still another derivative that the factory has to churn out.' A camouflaged Kia K4 Wagon prototype was recently spotted testing in Europe, ahead of its anticipated reveal later this year. The K4 will replace the popular European-market Kia Ceed, in the same way it replaced the Cerato in Australia. While heavily disguised under sheets and cladding, the K4 Wagon appears to have the extended rear overhang of the K4 Sedan, but with the high roof and tailgate of the incoming K4 Hatch. In the same interview, Mr Rivero confirmed the new K4 Hatch will introduce a more efficient petrol engine and transmission combination when it arrives in the latter stages of 2025. 'We've got [the] hatchback first. That does adopt a new powertrain which you're familiar with from the Seltos [small SUV]… which helps us out from a CO2 perspective – that will be our first adjustment in light of NVES [the federal government's New Vehicle Efficiency Standard],' Mr Rivero said. The powertrain in question is an Atkinson-cycle 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine mated with what Hyundai and Kia call an 'IVT' or Intelligent Variable Transmission. Effectively, it's Hyundai/Kia-speak for a CVT. 'The CO2 on that is better than even the 1.6 turbo – I think it's about a 30g/km improvement [over the 2.0L MPI]. Whether we spec it with [idle stop/start] is TBC,' Mr Rivero added. Above: Kia K4 Sedan (left) and K4 Hatch (right) The current 2.0L MPI engine with a six-speed automatic in the K4 Sedan quotes combined fuel consumption of 7.4L/100km and CO2 emissions of 167g/km, while the more powerful 1.6 T-GDI engine in the GT-Line with its eight-speed auto quotes 6.7L/100km and 158g/km. Mr Rivero said the new drivetrain will be applied to both the upcoming K4 Hatch as well as the existing K4 Sedan during the fourth quarter of 2025, likely coinciding with model year 2026 (MY26) production. For reference, the related Hyundai i30 Sedan with the Smartstream-branded Atkinson-cycle engine and CVT quotes a much thriftier 6.1L/100km and 139g/km on the combined cycle. As yet there's still no word on a K4 Hybrid or HEV variant, which has been all but confirmed for future introduction. It will almost certainly draw upon the 1.6-litre petrol-electric system used in the i30 Sedan and Kona hybrids, in which it makes 104kW and 265Nm.

Geely's first model in Australia gets its first running updates over the air

Geely Auto Australia has announced the first over-the-air (OTA) update for its inaugural model, the Geely EX5 mid-size electric SUV, which will be progressively rolled out to customers across the country. In a media release issued this week, Geely says its first OTA update will change the low-speed pedestrian alert sound 'to a more traditional humming tone, which will be less prominent in the [vehicle's] cabin'. Further, the update also brings 'enhancements to the vehicle's software, including optimised CarbitLink performance and improved range calculation when route planning in the Navigation app'. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. Supplied Credit: CarExpert Geely Auto Australia CEO Lei Li said this first set of running changes are in response to initial customer feedback. 'Our team has analysed feedback direct from our customers and dealer network, and worked on an update that we're sure will make experiences with the Geely EX5 even more enjoyable,' Mr Li said. 'Geely actively listens to feedback so we can provide the right products for the local market; this step is one of the many actions that we can take in order to provide high value vehicles to our ever-dynamic Australian customers.' To access and apply this update, owners should navigate to the 'My Car' menu on their EX5's infotainment screen. The company recommends connecting to Wi-Fi or a smartphone hotspot before initiating the update 'to ensure a stable connection during download'. More information can be accessed at the Geely Auto Australia website. Supplied Credit: CarExpert The Chinese brand has already confirmed the next OTA update will be the addition of Apple CarPlay functionality, expected to become available mid-way through the third quarter of 2025 (July-September). Android Auto will follow, 'with anticipated delivery in late 2025'. To the end of May 2025, Geely has registered 1023 new EX5 vehicles in Australia. It's the first model to be launched as part of the Chinese brand's renewed assault on the Australian market. Next cab off the rank for the Chinese brand is expected to be a plug-in hybrid version of the EX5 – a direct rival for the top-selling Tesla Model Y – known abroad as the Geely Galaxy Starship 7. The SUV is powered by a 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine and an electric motor that is fed by either an 8.5kWh or 19.09kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery. EV range is claimed to be 55-120km depending on battery variant. Supplied Credit: CarExpert Stay tuned to CarExpert for all the latest MORE: Everything Geely EX5
