The Toyota Yaris Cross has already entered production and will reach the market at the end of summer

Production of the new Toyota Yaris Cross has already started at the French plant in Valenciennes, after being announced and going on sale this spring. This plant will be in charge of manufacturing these two new models, the fourth generation of the Toyota Yaris and the addition of the Toyota Yaris Cross, for which the factory has been adapted and prepared to be assembled throughout this summer.

The investment made amounts to 400,000 euros and will allow the French plant to reach up to 300,000 vehicles a year, considerably increasing production. The manufacturing of hybrid engines will be a priority for the Japanese brand in the European market. In fact, 90% of the model’s production is expected to be hybrid by 2025.

In fact, in the Spanish market the Toyota Yaris Cross will only be available in its hybrid version, so the plans for the model are moving forward in our country. As for the architecture on which this model is based, it is the GA-B platform for compact vehicles of Toyota. In turn, this is based on the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA), which allows this new generation of Toyota vehicles to make a strong entry into the European market.

Toyota’s implementation strategy in Europe involves starting the manufacture of several engines in Europe. The hybrid transmission with electric motor, the electric motors used by the hybrid and electric models in Europe, and the 1.5-litre TNGA combustion engine will be among the components produced at the factory that Toyota has in Poland.

This plant will also be able to manufacture the Yaris, as the entire facility has been adapted to host production of this model in the near future, supporting its production in France.
