Toyota Yaris Cross (2022)br The Yaris Cross is all-new model that brings together Toyota’s rich experience and know-how in small car and SUV design and engineering, developed for Europe and specifically with European customers in mind from the initial concept phase.br br HYBRID POWERTRAINbr br Fourth generation Toyota hybrid electric technologybr Maximum full system output of 116 DIN hp85 kWbr 4.4-5.0 l100 km fuel economy and 100-114gkm CO2 emissionsbr br The Yaris Cross is powered by Toyota’s fourth generation hybrid electric technology, a system which made its debut on the new Yaris hatchback. At its heart is a three-cylinder, 1.5-litre Hybrid Dynamic Force engine that has the same basic structure and operation as the larger two-litre unit featured in the Toyota Corolla and C-HR. A long stroke, high-speed combustion, high 14:1 compression ratio and temperature and pressure control help the Atkinson cycle unit achieve high, 40 thermal efficiency, so more energy is used to power the car from every drop of fuel.br br The Hybrid Dynamic Force engine is quieter during acceleration and the engine’s maximum power and torque are achieved at lower engine speeds – 92 DIN hp68 kW at 5,500 rpm and 120 Nm between 3,600 and 4,800 rpm.br br Maximum output for the total system (engine and electric motors) is 116 DIN hp85 kW. Fuel economy and CO2 emissions (WLTP combined) are 4.4-5.0 l100 km and 100-114 gkm (class-leading 4.7-5.1 l100km and 106-116 gkm with AWD-i).br br Electric motor and power control unitbr br The compact hybrid transaxle also includes an electric motorgenerator giving more power and better response than the previous generation Toyota system. The 580 V motor produces 80 DIN hp59 kW and 141 Nm of torque.br br The power control also has a more compact design and a higher power density. It can control more than 100 A of current and boosts the 177.6 V of the lithium-ion hybrid battery to 580 V. Its vertically arranged transistors and efficient cooling system allow for transistor switching up to 10,000 times a second.br br Lithium-ion hybrid batterybr br Yaris Cross uses a lithium-ion hybrid battery, with efficiency and power enhanced by reducing the resistance within the cells. The 177.6 V unit is able to produce double the amount of energy under braking and supply 50 more power when accelerating, compared to the nickel-metal hydride battery featured in the previous generation Yaris Hybrid. As well as being more powerful, it is lighter, too, the complete assembly weighing 27 kg, which further contributes to the car’s all-round efficiency.br br The increased contribution from the battery helps enable a higher percentage of EV driving on urban journeys, with zero emissions and zero fuel consumption. The new Yaris Cross can comfortably cover a high proportion of around-town trips and commutes for European customers. Zero emissions driving is possible at speeds at up to 130 kmh.
