The Yaris Cross was originally planned to be unveiled at the 2020 Geneva Motor Show,[4] however the show was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5][6] Toyota then released the first pictures and specifications of the Yaris Cross on 23 April 2020.[1][7] The model went on sale in Japan in September 2020, Australia in November 2020 and is slated to be on sale in Europe in mid-2021,[8] where it will be manufactured in the same plant as the standard Yaris in Japan at Toyota Motor East Japan and France at Toyota Motor Manufacturing France.[1]

The wheelbase is the same as the European-market Yaris, but the ground clearance is increased by 30 mm (1.2 in) over the standard Yaris.[1]
