 Among the most expanding sectors of the market, the B-class SUV is certainly one of the hardest fought. Consumers are asking for compact crossovers capable of combining the dimensions suitable for city driving with an off-road style, and the manufacturers are happy to satisfy them. Based on the same platform used for the latest generation of the Yaris, the new Toyota Yaris Cross proves to be a decidedly city-appropriate crossover. The merit is the particularly small size of the car body. The length measures 4 meters and 18 cm, while the width and height respectively reach 177 cm and 168 cm.

Only Citroen is missing in the range, while Peugeot e-Rifter, Opel Combo-e Life a nd Toyota Proace City Verso Electric are already there . The latest model debuted as the last and at the same time as a cargo modification without the Verso attachment.
