Micro - CUV

Toyota is at it again, with the introduction of their micro CUV, the Yaris Cross. This little toy has some fun appeal which could put it near the top of the food chain.

Ever since the introduction of the RAV 4, Toyota has been quick to respond to the ever changing CUV marketplace. Their new alternate version of the Yaris is no exception to this rule, as it introduces Toyota to the Micro CUV market. The Yaris is still alive and well, but with most companies moving their product lines over to CUV's, it may just be a matter of time before this little car gets the boot.

From front to rear the all new Yaris Cross is an entry level crowd pleaser. With features that scream to be added onto, this little CUV is poised to be a dream car of the aftermarket scene. With well integrated and darkened lights, to its over use of cheap plastic, the aftermarket scene is sure to be all over making this product look better.

Similar to its hatchback sibling, the Yaris Cross does use a wide stance to give the appeal of a road hungry product. This is something hardly any of the competition is doing and this one main feature may be the reason why Toyota may win this race.

Past its wide stance, lights and cheap plastic, the Yaris Cross is one well rounded product. And with a form that begs to be customized, this little CUV may become the leader of the pack.
