The facelift continues on the TNGA-B platform as its predecessor.

Front fascia gets a new honeycomb grille, new bumper and sleeker LED headlamp internals.

Top variant gets 18-inch alloy wheels and two new colours, including a dual-tone option.

The GR Sport trim gets sportier-looking bumpers, ‘GR Sport’ badges and version-specific alloy wheels.

Only the non-GR Sport trim of the 2026 Yaris Cross gets all-wheel drive.

But it is the front-wheel-drive versions that are 0.6 seconds quicker to 100kph.

The interior of the top-spec Yaris Cross gets platinum-coloured trim and highlights, plus sustainable materials.

GR Sport gets version-specific logos and sport seats with suede-type materials and red stitching.

Features include a panoramic glass roof, split-folding rear seats and an electrically powered tailgate.

There’s also JBL audio, ambient lighting, wireless smartphone connectivity, plus power-closing ORVMs.
