Toyota Opens Preorders for the 2026 Yaris Cross, Announces First Delivery Timeline and Trim Details

The new 2026 Toyota Yaris Cross, first revealed last November, is now officially open for preorders in Brazil — and at reduced launch pricing. While trims, equipment levels, and powertrain options have been known for some time, Toyota had until now avoided confirming the most important detail: when the first batch of vehicles would actually be delivered and when the crossover would reach full-scale dealership availability across the country.

According to information from several Toyota dealers in the São Paulo metropolitan area, initial customers are expected to receive their vehicles between late February and early March. This will mark the rollout of the first promotional batch of 8,500 units. After that, sales are expected to transition into a normal retail cycle. Dealers note an interesting trend: the most expensive, fully loaded hybrid versions were the first to sell out, with color choice no longer affecting delivery timing due to extremely limited remaining allocations. Versions powered by the naturally aspirated gasoline engine, however, are still more readily available regardless of exterior color.

Toyota is sticking to its familiar formula: a strong reputation for reliability paired with the option to extend the warranty coverage up to 10 years. Buyers can choose between two powertrain paths. The first is a conventional 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine. The second — and arguably the model’s main selling point — is a full hybrid system, also built around a 1.5-liter engine.

Dimensionally, the Yaris Cross is on the larger side for its segment. It measures 169.7 inches in length, 69.7 inches in width, and 65 inches in height, with a wheelbase of 103.1 inches. For reference, the Corolla Cross is only slightly bigger, coming in at 175.6 inches long, 71.7 inches wide, 63.8 inches tall, and riding on a 104-inch wheelbase.

The lineup consists of four trims: two with conventional internal combustion engines and two electrified versions. Prices range from 161,390 to 189,990 Brazilian reais. Even the base model comes well equipped, featuring six airbags, four-wheel disc brakes, 17-inch alloy wheels with 215/60 tires, manual climate control with rear air vents, power-adjustable mirrors, headlights with automatic activation and electric leveling, rear parking sensors, adaptive cruise control, push-button start, a 10-inch infotainment display with a rearview camera, and a 7-inch TFT digital instrument cluster. No optional packages are offered for this trim. Buyers can choose from seven exterior colors: Polar White, Granite Gray, New Moon Silver, Infinity Black, Lunar White, Neptune Blue, and Garnet Red. Two-tone paint schemes are not available.

Hybrid versions follow the same equipment structure but add the 1.5-liter hybrid powertrain paired with an e-CVT transmission. These trims offer a broader color palette — 11 options in total — including both solid and two-tone combinations with a black roof, available for Neptune Blue, New Moon Silver, Lunar White, and Garnet Red.

Top-tier versions add premium features such as a power tailgate with a hands-free sensor, 18-inch wheels with 215/55 tires, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, ambient lighting in the center console and doors, blind-spot monitoring, front parking sensors, rear cross-traffic alert, a 360-degree surround-view camera system, and a fixed panoramic glass roof with an electric sunshade.
