Introducing the 2023 Toyota Yaris Cross URBAN HYBRID: A Blend of Style and Efficiency - In Indonesia now, Malaysia?

Toyota has officially launched the Yaris Cross in Indonesia, just a month after its ASEAN debut. This stylish compact SUV comes in three enticing variants, catering to a wide range of customers. Let's delve into what this impressive vehicle has to offer: The 2023 Toyota Yaris Cross URBAN HYBRID has made its mark as a front-wheel-drive four-door wagon, available in the Australian market since August 1, 2022, with the classification MXPJ10R. This versatile vehicle falls into the category of a light SUV, crafted in Japan, and comes with a starting price of $36,000 before on-road costs.
1. Variants and Pricing: G Type: Starting at IDR 351 million (approximately RM 109,000) S Type: Priced at IDR 407.7 million (about RM 126,700) S HV Type: The top-tier hybrid variant, available at IDR 440.6 million (around RM 136,900)
2. Power and Performance: For the G and S variants, power is derived from a 2NR-VE 1.5-liter naturally-aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine, delivering 106 PS (105 hp) and 138 Nm of torque. This engine pairs with a CVT automatic, while the G offers a five-speed manual option. On the other hand, the S HV is the hybrid variant, featuring a 2NR-VEX 1.5-liter NA four-cylinder engine combined with an electric traction motor, resulting in an impressive 80 PS (79 hp). This hybrid setup is automatic-only and boasts a lithium-ion battery.
3. Power and Efficiency: Under the hood, the Yaris Cross is equipped with a 1.5L INLINE 3 engine, delivering 67 kW of power at 5500 rpm and 120 Nm of torque at 3800 rpm, all managed by a Continuous Variable transmission. What sets the Yaris Cross URBAN HYBRID apart is its eco-friendly approach, using a mere 3.8L/100km of Unleaded Petrol-Electric Hybrid in combined city and highway driving, with CO2 emissions totaling 86g.

This results in an unladen weight of 1190kg (2623.5 lbs), offering a balanced blend of size and maneuverability. These dimensions place it in a similar size category as the Honda HR-V, providing a sense of familiarity for SUV enthusiasts.
6. Ground Clearance: One of its standout features is a 170mm ground clearance, making it suitable for various road conditions. Additionally, it offers a 400kg braked and 400kg unbraked towing capacity, providing added utility for your adventures, giving it an edge over the HR-V, which ranges from 183 to 196 mm based on variant (per Malaysian specifications).

The 2023 Toyota Yaris Cross URBAN HYBRID is a remarkable addition to the automotive landscape, offering a harmonious blend of power, efficiency, and safety. It's a vehicle that not only makes a statement but also promises a remarkable driving experience. This platform is shared with the Perodua Ativa in Malaysia, sparking rumors of an upcoming B-segment SUV from Perodua, codenamed D66B. If such a model becomes a reality, the Yaris Cross offers a tantalizing preview of what's to come.
