Yaris Cross Toyota: The hybrid SUV that conquered the world

Yaris Cross Toyota: By announcing a return to urban SUVs in 2020, Toyota is taking a risk of being behind in an already saturated segment.

But a good face, an ultra-efficient hybrid engine and the fame of the Japanese giant quickly proved otherwise.

If the Nissan Juke (2010) is often seen as the first modern urban SUV, it's because it's the first to claim a raised body.

However, it is precisely the first SUV for cities, as its success has been verified both in cities and on muddy roads.

But this strategic leadership did not benefit Toyota. On the contrary, the Japanese got lost with bigger and bigger RAV4s

Given the accumulated delay and the number of opponents, we can even doubt this choice. But a year later, we have to admit that the bet paid off.

The Yaris Cross made a good impression, quickly following the 2008 and Captur benchmarks in sales.
