> As with the Yaris, Toyota employed the TNGA platform (GA-B) for compact cars as a fundamental component. This is to pursue lightweight and high rigidity with a low center of gravity. In combination with a revamped suspension, Yaris Cross achieves both agile handling and a high-quality ride characteristic of the Yaris series. It also delivers driving performance beyond its class by being both Confident and Natural (the vehicle remains stable while driving, yet responds naturally to the driver's intentions).
> Yaris Cross comes with a 4WD system to respond to various types of road surface conditions. The gasoline-powered model is equipped with functions that make the SUV ride satisfying. The HEV model is the first Toyota compact SUV to have an E-Four (electric four-wheel-drive system), ensuring safety, even when driving over snowy roads.
The Yaris Cross is also loaded with the 'Multi-terrain Select' function (gasoline-powered 4WD model/first for a Toyota compact SUV) which allows the driver to choose from three driver assist modes depending on road surface conditions that contribute to an improvement in performance off-road and on slippery roads.
There is also a SNOW mode to contribute to smooth acceleration on slippery roads, including snowy roads, by controlling the torque. A TRAIL mode offers more traction by allocating an adequate drive torque to each tire in contact with a bad road surface (E-Four vehicle; first for a Toyota compact SUV).
The car's downhill assistance control contributes to maintaining a steady low vehicle speed and stable cruising when traveling downhill (Gasoline-powered 4WD model and E-Four model; first for a compact Toyota SUV).
> The car is equipped with a new-generation hybrid electric vehicle system which uses a 1.5-liter inline three-cylinder Dynamic Force Engine based on the TNGA philosophy. In addition to powerful, seamless driving, it achieves world-class, superior fuel economy for its class (2WD, 30.8 km/L in WLTC mode) that surpasses what is the typical performance of an SUV.
