On the eve of this year’s Geneva International Motor Show, Toyota has released a preview of a new small SUV, and said that the new car will be officially unveiled at this year’s Geneva International Motor Show. However, due to the impact of the new crown epidemic, the Geneva International Motor Show was cancelled, so the debut of the new car was postponed until a month later.
From the naming point of view, it is obvious that the new Yairs Cross will be launched to the market as a derivative model of the new generation of Yars. However, despite the same name as Yairs, the Yairs Cross has been redesigned and is completely a standard small SUV.
In terms of size, the new Yairs Cross has a wheelbase of 2,560mm, and its body length has increased by 240mm to 4,180mm compared to Yairs. In addition, its body width and body height have also increased by 20mm and 90mm, respectively. Even so, its overall vehicle size will be significantly smaller than C-HR. Obviously, the new Yairs Cross will be positioned under C-HR.
From the appearance point of view, the new Yairs Cross adopts a more traditional design, rather than breaking the tradition like C-HR. Under the traditional SUV shape, although the new Yairs Cross is not large in size, it does have the unique sense of large size of an SUV. Of course, compared to Yairs, the larger size of Yairs Cross also brings a larger and more practical interior space.
In terms of details, the new Yairs Cross uses a full and rounded front shape to shape the fashion sense of the vehicle. To be honest, after getting used to the relatively complicated Toyota-style design, seeing such a somewhat simple Yairs Cross Cross is indeed quite eye-catching. This has a lot to do with its main target market in Europe.
In terms of the design of the side of the body, the brand-new Yairs Cross forms the quick end of the body line with the tough waistline and the window frame line, and the image of the wheel eyebrows also portrays a good sense of muscle. Therefore, although the size is not large, the visual tension of the vehicle is in place. As for the rear, the shape of the new car is very reminiscent of the RAV4.
Inside the vehicle, the brand-new Toyota Yars Cross retains the same design style as Yars, and does not emphasize the use of horizontal lines, but uses a simple vertical arrangement to form a stylish interior detail texture. Such a design is especially useful for a small car.
Power is the biggest highlight of Yairs Cross, which is rare in the European market to provide hybrid power and four-wheel drive. In terms of power, it is equipped with a combination of a 1.5L three-cylinder engine and an electric motor. The thermal efficiency of the three-cylinder power is as high as 40%. From the book data, the synergistic output power of the two will reach 116 horsepower. The hybrid system is matched with the E-FOUR four-wheel drive system. The electric motor provides power to the rear axle alone. When the front wheel slip is detected, the rear wheel will provide power at any time.
It is reported that the new Yairs Cross will be put into production in France, and it is expected that the new car will also be launched in Japan this fall. How should I put it, although the sparrow is small and complete, when our local brand builds a large SUV with a length of 5 meters and the whole series is equipped with two-wheel drive as standard, can you imagine that such a small car with a size of only 4.1 meters can provide AWD and hybrid?
