- Despite the containment and closed dealerships, Toyota has unveiled its new B-segment SUV, the new Yaris Cross, derived from the Yaris sedan introduced last year.

- This new model, more compact than the CHR, rivals the Nissan Juke, Renault Captur, Peugeot 2008, DS 3 Crossback, Skoda Kamiq and future Opel Mokka.

- It will be manufactured on the French site of Onnaing, alongside the Yaris sedan, at the rate of 150,000 units per year, which should allow the production of a comparable quantity of Yaris sedans on the same site. If demand is higher than expected, Toyota has already announced that part of the Yaris sedans will be produced at the Czech site in Kolin.

- The Yaris Cross is based like the Yaris sedan on the TNGA (New Global Architecture) platform which is also used by the Corolla, Prius, CHR and RAV4.

- Its engines are those mounted on the Yaris sedan, including the 1.5 hybrid engine which should represent the majority of sales of the Yaris Cross. The Toyota group has also announced the factory release of its 15 millionth hybrid vehicle, all models combined. With the new model unveiled today, Toyota has four SUVs in different segments in Europe: Yaris Cross (segment B), CHR (segment C), RAV4 (segment D) and Land Cruiser (segment E).

- Inovev plans 150,000 units per year of the new Toyota Yaris Cross.
