The Toyota Yaris Cross is actually a hybrid crossover that shares its mechanics with the Yaris supermini but offers more space and a slightly taller stance. On the other hand, the Toyota Suzuki Jimny rival is speculated to be a miniature version of the Toyota LandCruiser FJ and could be a strong contender in the compact SUV market. It is reported to be a five-door mini LandCruiser SUV set to make its global debut later this year. This vehicle might offer a blend of Toyota’s reliability and off-road prowess in a compact form, potentially matching or exceeding the Jimny XL’s capabilities.
Considering the two options, I would personally wait until the Toyota Suzuki Jimny is out and go for it because of its rumored powerful features.
With its size and better handling on motorways, the new Suzuki Jimny XL seems perfect for your needs. Before making your choice, though, you might want to take a close look at a competing Toyota alternative.
The news of a bigger, 5-door Jimny is exciting, especially for motorway driving. This discovery of a potential “Toyota Suzuki Jimny rival” throws another option into the mix! Sounds like your Yaris Cross plans might be on hold – exciting times for compact SUV fans
