An update for the 2024 Toyota Yaris Cross light SUV has landed in Australia.
The changes applied to the Yaris Cross are headlined by the addition of a larger 8-inch touchscreen running Toyota’s latest infotainment system, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.
It also supports updated Toyota Connected Services functionality, which sees the previous three-year free trial move to a shorter 12-month complimentary period.
GXL variants and above receive connected satellite navigation, which costs $12.50 per month to maintain after the 12-month free trial period expires as part of Toyota’s ‘connected multimedia’ subscription.
All variants are also fitted with a new 7-inch digital instrument cluster, which replaces analogue dials and a 4.2-inch multi-function display.
There’s also a new upper grille pattern and seat trim patterns for all variants except the GR Sport, a large rear side spoiler, new ‘HEV’ badges, and additional USB-C charge ports throughout to replace USB-A sockets.
Active safety improvements include motorcyclist and vehicle head-on detection for the autonomous emergency braking system, which also has enhanced intersection detection during the day.
Emergency steering assist is now available for all Yaris Cross variants, while the cameras and sensors for the adaptive cruise control and lane-keep assist now operate over a wider area.
GXL variants and above add safe exit assist – which uses the same radar as the blind-spot and rear cross-traffic alerts – to prevent ‘dooring’ other road users, and low-speed emergency braking in forward and reverse when parking if an imminent collision is detected.
Rear-side privacy glass is also added to the GXL, GR Sport and Urban, while the entry-level GX has additional convenience features, including sunvisor mirror lights, two rear grab handles, and a softer armrest.
Prices have increased between $880 and $950 for all 2024 Toyota Yaris Cross variants.
In December, Toyota Australia confirmed the Yaris Cross had gone hybrid-only, with petrol-only variants deleted from the line-up due to strong demand for the electrified powertrain.

Engine, drivetrain, and fuel economy
Front-drive hybrids use a 1.5-litre Atkinson cycle petrol engine paired with two electric motors, for a maximum combined 85kW power output. It is matched to a CVT automatic transmission.
All-wheel drive versions use the same hybrid engine and battery set-up as the front-drive hybrid, but add a 4kW/52Nm electric motor to the rear axle for improved grip in slippery conditions.
This variant can send up to 100 per cent of the power to the front wheels, or split delivery 40 per cent to the front and 60 per cent to the rear.
Torsion-beam rear suspension features in front-wheel drive variants, while the all-wheel drive includes a multi-link setup.
