While the exterior boasts striking personalized styling, the interior of the Yaris Cross Nightshade keeps up perfectly, achieving a seamless style echo and uncompromised practicality in configurations. The cabin adopts an all-black theme color scheme, paired with ambient lighting to create a calm yet sophisticated driving atmosphere. In terms of materials, it features Dark cooling with genuine leather upholstery and black synthetic leather, decorated with gray threads, which enhances both the tactile comfort and the sporty texture of the interior. For in-car connectivity and convenience, the model comes as standard with a 9-inch central touchscreen across the entire lineup, supporting wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration for effortless smartphone connection. Additionally, the inclusion of a wireless smartphone charging pad effectively addresses the battery life anxiety of contemporary consumers regarding their mobile devices.

Similarly, comfort and convenience features are also fully equipped. The panoramic sunroof (with electric sunshade) provides better lighting inside the car, and the 8-way electrically adjustable driver's seat allows drivers of different body types to find a comfortable seating position. The electronic parking brake and the sensor-based electric tailgate enhance the convenience of vehicle usage. Especially the electric tailgate with foot-sensing support, combined with a standard trunk storage capacity of 452 liters, easily meets the storage needs for daily shopping and family outings, perfectly balancing a stylish appearance and practicality for family use.

Balancing both stylish design and practicality in configuration, the powertrain maintains the efficient characteristics of the Yaris Cross, which is one of the core advantages of the model. The new car is equipped with a hybrid system consisting of a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine and a lithium-ion battery, paired with an e-CVT continuously variable transmission. The system delivers a combined maximum power output of 111 horsepower and a peak torque of 120 Nm. This mature powertrain not only provides a smooth and seamless driving experience but also delivers an excellent fuel economy performance, with an official fuel consumption rate of 26.3 kilometers per liter, significantly reducing daily vehicle usage costs.

In addition, there is no compromise on safety. The Toyota TSS (Toyota Safety Sense) active safety suite is a standard feature across the range, including practical features such as full-speed adaptive cruise control. Whether it is for long-distance highway driving or city commuting, it provides comprehensive driving assistance and safety assurance.

In fact, since the Yaris Cross officially entered the Thai market in 2023, it has gained a strong market reputation with its stable product performance. Its popularity continued to rise in 2025, becoming the leader in the Thai hybrid SUV segment. According to statistics, from January to October 2025, the cumulative sales of this model reached an impressive 29,187 units. This solid data directly demonstrates the recognition of the Yaris Cross by local consumers and highlights the market appeal of Toyota's hybrid technology.

Building on this foundation, the debut of the Nightshade special edition has further emphasized distinct exterior differentiation. Through a full black-out kit, it enhances the sporty and personalized attributes, undoubtedly reaching young consumers who pursue a unique style. What’s more worth mentioning is Toyota’s long-term warranty policy for this model, with a 10-year warranty for the hybrid battery and a 5-year warranty for the hybrid system. This guarantee also boosts user confidence in using new energy technologies.
