Ever considered a hybrid crossover? The Toyota Yaris Cross HEV is the ideal mobility partner
for Toyota
MANILA, Philippines — Today's driving conditions demand a vehicle that is as flexible as it is efficient. From gridlock traffic to open highways, you need a car that adapts to every situation.
However, unlike before when you would only choose between carmakers and their respective models, now you can also explore electrified vehicle options.
As the pioneer of automotive electrification in the country, Toyota offers hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) on our shores. Its Yaris Cross HEV, a subcompact crossover SUV, is something car owners can consider.
Here are some of the exciting benefits that make the Toyota Yaris Cross HEV such a compelling choice for your next mobility partner.
1. You don’t need to plug in to charge
While it’s common knowledge that electric vehicles (EVs) need to be plugged into a power source to charge, HEVs, on the other hand, work differently.
The Yaris Cross HEV, like other Toyota HEVs, is powered by a self-charging electric motor and a conventional gas engine. The Electronically Controlled Brake System (ECB) or Regenerative Brake System, uses kinetic energy to recharge the electric motor’s battery when braking,
This means, you’re actively charging your car’s own battery through normal driving—no need to plug in to charge.
2. It promises better fuel economy
By combining the power of a conventional gas engine and a self-charging electric motor, the Toyota Yaris Cross HEV promises better fuel efficiency compared to traditional vehicles.
The electric motor takes over for the engine at rest or low speeds. This includes when you start the car and when you drive at constant low- and mid-speed ranges.
When you need to go faster, the combined strength of the gasoline engine and electric motor adds to the vehicle's power. Providing more responsive acceleration with better fuel economy.
Because of this innovation, the Toyota Yaris Cross HEV consumes less gas, resulting in better fuel efficiency and less trips to the gas station.
Meaning, more time for your career or business and better yet, some time for fun outings or adventures!
Tested under a controlled environment following internationally accepted standards, the Yaris Cross HEV crunched in*:
- 33.3 km/L on city driving
- 25.6 km/L on highway driving
- 27.7 km/L on combined driving
*Tested under controlled environment following internationally accepted Fuel Consumption Test Protocol under UN Regulations No. 101
3. You’ll love its aesthetics and tech features
Beyond efficiency, design also matters. You’ll be glad to know that the Toyota Yaris Cross HEV also delivers in the looks department.
This stylish crossover sub-compact SUV comes with a trapezoid front grille design complemented by an elegant set of LED headlamps, daytime running lights and fog lamps. On the rear, a combination lamp design is just as flashy.
Enter inside and you’ll be greeted by the smooth black synthetic leather seats with trendy blue stitching. As the top-of-the line variant, the Yaris Cross HEV also comes with a panoramic moonroof for an elevated riding experience. Not to mention the spacious legroom and back compartment for utmost comfort.
More advanced features await such as the 10.1-inch audio display with wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto, wireless charging dock, panoramic view monitor.
