About Indonesia Toyota New Yaris Cross Exterior

The large front grille and aggressive headlights are reminiscent of a Highlander, while the boxy wheel arches, taut rear shoulders, greenhouse, and taillights give it a strong RAV4 feel. It boasts a five-seater cabin that is comparable in some respects to older one-segment vehicles. Furthermore, the hybrid battery is mounted under the rear seat, so it does not compromise the luggage space, which is said to be the largest in its class.
