2025 Toyota Yaris Cross price and specs
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.

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. Supplied Credit: CarExpert
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.
Just one powertrain is offered in the Yaris Cross, though it can be had with either front- or all-wheel drive. Supplied Credit: CarExpert
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. Supplied Credit: CarExpert Supplied Credit: CarExpert
The Toyota Yaris Cross is backed by a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty.

Toyota says its hybrids have saved nine million EVs worth of CO2
Toyota chairman Akio Toyoda has reinforced his company's commitment to prioritising hybrid vehicles (HEVs) over battery-electric vehicles (EVs or BEVs), outlining that hybrids are its ideal way forward in terms of reducing total CO2 emissions. Speaking through an interpreter in a recent interview with Automotive News, Toyoda-san said Toyota is as committed to reducing the environmental impact of cars as any other brand, but has adopted a cost- and time-effective way to go about reducing its carbon emissions. 'When the term 'carbon neutrality' started to become popular and we started to hear about it, we set our target as a company saying that for us, the enemy is carbon,' he said. 'The way that we thought about it was that we're not going to contribute to achieving carbon neutrality just by building BEVs, but we have to focus on things that we can do now so that, immediately, we can reduce CO2 from the air. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. 'We looked at ourselves [and asked] 'what can we do with the things that we have to contribute to carbon neutrality?' That was the base of how we made our decision in those times, and that has not changed now, and will not change for the future.' Toyoda-san is referring to the widespread rollout of hybrid vehicles, which dominate the Japanese brand's current model range. Toyota is credited with creating the first mass-produced hybrid car in the late 1990s, and has continued to develop the technology to the market-leading status it holds today. The company's passenger car lineup is now dominated by hybrids, evidenced by the Japanese brand's Australian axing of all petrol versions of cars that offer hybrid options in 2024. Hybrids continue to play a significant role in Toyota's global efforts too, not least in its home country. Toyoda-san claims that over the past five years, the focus on hybrids played a larger role in reducing Japanese CO2 emissions than EVs. Above: Toyota Hybrid range 'If you can check the data for each country about the CO2 emission situation for the past five years, it's going to be very clear,' Toyoda-san said. 'For Japan, we had this weapon of hybrid vehicles, so with the hybrid vehicles, we were able to reduce 23 per cent of CO2 emissions in the same [time], and it was the only country that was able to achieve that.' Toyoda-san added that his company has produced and delivered upwards of 27 million hybrids to date, and claimed that figure was 'equivalent to nine million BEVs in terms of the contribution to carbon neutrality'. 'The hybrids that we made and sold had the same impact as nine million BEVs on the road, but if we were to make nine million BEVs in [Japan] it would have actually increased the CO2 emissions, not reduced, because we are relying on thermal powerplants.' Despite that, Toyoda-san reaffirmed that HEVs aren't the only way forward, pointing to Toyota's continued development of internal combustion petrol and diesel engines (ICEs), as well as EVs, plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) and hydrogen fuel-cell electric vehicles (FCEVs). Toyota recently revealed the next-generation RAV4 mid-size SUV (above), which will be the brand's first PHEV in Australia. The Mirai FCEV is currently being used by corporate fleets and government partners locally via very limited leases, too. The Japanese auto giant is also part of an alliance with Subaru and Mazda to develop lower-emission ICEs into the future. 'I think we shouldn't just focus on [BEV] … but we should look at all the options that we have and work in all directions,' Toyoda-san said. 'That will be similar to thinking as a person of the planet, not just from one perspective, but thinking about the whole planet, and then we can think about the various options and take the movements to reduce CO2 as much as possible. 'I believe if everyone can support this way of thinking, it will be for the benefit of all the stakeholders too.'

Peugeot e-208 GTi unveiled: French hot hatch goes electric
Peugeot is wading into the electric hot hatch battle with the GTi badge now affixed to the e-208 city hatch. Under the bonnet there's a more powerful French-made electric motor with 209kW and 345Nm driving the front wheels. That's quite a big step up from the regular e-208's 115kW motor. To help the GTi make a clean getaway it's fitted with a limited-slip differential. The e-208 GTi can complete the 0-100km/h dash in 5.7 seconds, and hit a top speed of 180km/h. 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 A 54kWh battery from CATL is standard, and provides a 350km driving range under the WLTP standard. AC charging speeds top out at 7.4kW, and 100kW can be achieved with at a DC fast charger. The GTi rides on 215/40 Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres wrapped around 18-inch wheels styled to resemble the 'hole' rims used on the 205 GTi. Peugeot claims this not only honours the car's heritage, but provides extra cooling for the brakes. The front discs have been upsized to 355mm with red-painted four-piston calipers. The brakes at the rear are unchanged from the regular e-208 for 'efficiency' purposes. Supplied Credit: CarExpert To benefit the car's handling, and stance, the GTi is 30mm lower than lesser e-208 variants, and its tracks are wider by 56mm at the front and 27mm at the rear. Inside the cabin there are new grippier front seats, a small steering wheel with a flat top and bottom, and plenty of red highlights. Prominent GTi badging appears on the alloy wheels, side sills, seats, and steering wheel. Faux suede trim is used on the door grips, steering wheel, seats, and centre console lid. Leather is applied to the seat bolsters and parts of the steering wheel, while a huge swathe of carbon-fibre-like trim stretches from the door cards and across the dashboard. Supplied Credit: CarExpert The e-208 GTi will be produced in right-hand drive for the UK and Ireland, but it's unclear if the e-208 GTi will grace Australian streets. Indeed the Australian future of the 208 range is unclear. Originally slated to appear locally in 2024, that date has come and gone with no movement at the station. Although the e-208 did receive Australian certification back in 2023, local importer Inchcape is keeping its cards close to its chest. The last GTi model sold in Australia was the 308 back in 2020, with the 208 and the 208 GTi discontinued in 2018. MORE: Everything Peugeot 208
