Plenty is happening within Malaysia's trademark office, and this time another new model is clued in – we've found trademarks filed for a certain Toyota Yaris Cross. Filed by Toyota Motor Corporation themselves late last year, the mark was registered in Class 12, encapsulating 'Automobiles and structural parts thereof.' Although not all trademarks come to eventual fruition, this one for the Yaris Cross is a little more grounded in reality as this refers to the ASEAN-spec model that made its debut

Nothing seems to be appealing Thai buyers like a subcompact SUV especially if it bears a Toyota badge. According to Autolife Thailand, the 2023 Toyota Yaris Cross received 5,168 orders within a week of its launch, far exceeding the projected sales target of 2,000 units a month.

The DNGA-based Toyota Yaris Cross made its global debut in Indonesia back in May 2023 and since then, it has been launched in Cambodia, the Philippines, Thailand, and very recently Taiwan.

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
