The Toyota Yaris Cross will be entering the ASEAN region soon, as a scoop from Thailand’s headlightmag revealed. While the Yaris Cross name is identical to the already-on-sale, TNGA-B-based model that’s offered in Singapore, Japan, and Europe, this upcoming Yaris Cross will be different. Instead of the pricey TNGA-B platform, the ASEAN Yaris Cross will be underpinned by the DNGA platform, similar to the D92A / AC100 Toyota Vios, Perodua Ativa, Perodua Alza, and soon-to-be launched D74A Perodua A

As cool as the Toyota Yaris Cross is in looks, unfortunately, the SUV that’s built on the TNGA-B platform is unlikely to make it into most markets in Southeast Asia including Malaysia.
