Yaris Cross is Europe’s favourite Toyota
Since its launch, the Yaris Cross has quickly established itself as Europe’s best-selling Toyota. Around 85,000 examples have been sold in the UK to date.
For the 2027 model year, Toyota has built on that success with refreshed styling, additional equipment and an updated specification across the range.
2027 Toyota Yaris Cross: exterior changes explained
Customers will be pleased to know that the new Yaris Cross retains its SUV proportions and urban adventurer styling. Its confident road presence is enhanced with a revised frontal treatment that introduces a honeycomb mesh for the front grille and new-design headlights with integrated daytime running lights.
Talking of integration, the grille is now colour-coded because it is moulded directly into the bumper moulding, while the contrasting black lower body section combines with the flared wheel arches to project a strong SUV stance.
New wheels and exterior colours
Design and Excel grade models are equipped with new 17- and 18-inch machined alloy wheels respectively. The choice of exterior colours features three new finishes:
- Precious Bronze – Excel only
- Persian Salt
- Storm Grey
Excel models can also be specified with a bi-tone paint finish, which combines the body colour with a contrasting black roof and pillars.
GR Sport exterior design
The Yaris Cross GR Sport (above) gets its own distinctive exterior treatment. Its revised front bumper incorporates side pods positioned next to the deeply recessed fog lights, creating a more technical appearance and emphasising the vehicle’s wide, athletic stance.
