What is the interior length of the Yaris Cross?
There isn’t a single official “interior length” specification published by Toyota for the Yaris Cross. The car’s interior space is described in related dimensions such as legroom, headroom, and cargo length, which can vary by market and model year.
In practice, the interior space is reported through a family of measurements rather than one consolidated number. This article explains what figures Toyota provides, how to interpret them, and how you can determine a practical interior length for your needs.
Official data and what it means
The following categories are the most commonly published interior-related metrics you’ll find for the Yaris Cross. They help you understand cabin space without naming a single “interior length.”
- Front legroom
- Rear legroom
- Front headroom
- Rear headroom
- Cargo length behind the rear seats (with rear seats up)
- Cargo length with rear seats folded
- Overall exterior length of the vehicle
These figures are market- and year-dependent. Toyota’s official pages for a given region typically publish the exact measurements in millimeters or inches, but they may format them differently from one market to another. Because a single “interior length” is not a standard spec, callers often rely on the closest proxies—cabin legroom and cargo length—to gauge how much space is available for passengers and luggage.
How to determine the interior length yourself
Since there is no universal interior-length spec, you can obtain a practical measurement by measuring the cabin along the main passenger path. The steps below describe a straightforward approach you can perform in your own Yaris Cross (or a dealer’s car) to get a usable figure that matches your seating setup.
- Position the front seats in your typical driving arrangement and adjust the driver’s seat for comfort.
- Use a soft measuring tape or a long rigid ruler. Start at the forward edge of the dashboard or the inner face of the instrument panel where the cabin begins.
- Extend the tape along the centerline of the cabin to the back of the rear seatback in its upright position. Record this measurement as your cabin/inner length with seats up.
- For a longer usable length, fold the rear seats (if available) and measure again from the dashboard area to the folded rear seatback or to the end of the newly extended loading area. Record this measurement as the maximum interior length with rear seats folded.
- Repeat the measurements with the front passenger seat in a different position if you want to see how changing seating affects the interior length for your needs.
This method gives you a practical, configuration-specific sense of interior length, which can be more useful than a generic number when planning passengers, cargo, or specific gear fits.
Latest market data and how to obtain exact figures
Because the Yaris Cross is sold in many markets (Europe, Asia, Africa, the Americas) and across multiple model years, the exact interior-length figure can vary. Toyota’s official specification sheets for each market and year are the most reliable source for precise numbers. If you have a particular year and country in mind, I can pull the official measurements from Toyota’s pages or current catalogs for that market.
In a pinch, you can also compare your needs to related cabin dimensions (front/rear legroom and cargo length behind the rear seats) published for your market. These figures often provide the most actionable context when evaluating whether the Yaris Cross will fit your typical passengers and luggage.
Summary
There is no single, universal “interior length” specification for the Yaris Cross. Toyota publishes related cabin and cargo dimensions that vary by market and year. For a precise figure tailored to your situation, check your specific market’s official spec sheet or measure the cabin yourself using the method outlined above. If you specify the year and market, I can fetch the exact official measurements and present them in context.
What are the interior dimensions of a Yaris?
2020 Toyota Yaris Interior Dimensions
Headroom (front/rear): 38.2/36.8 inches. Legroom (front/rear): 41.9/34.4 inches. Shoulder room (front/rear): 53.2/50 inches.
What are the disadvantages of the Yaris Cross?
The Yaris Cross is quite boxy for a small car and, together with elements such as the CVT transmission and large mirrors, it means it's not as quiet as you might like on the open road at motorway speeds.
How big is the luggage capacity of the Yaris Cross?
The Yaris Cross luggage capacity varies by model, but typically ranges from 390 to 452 liters with the seats up. Folding the rear seats down increases the capacity to around 1,097 liters. The specific capacity depends on the drivetrain (front-wheel drive vs. all-wheel drive) and hybrid or petrol engine, with some AWD models having less space due to the rear motor.
With seats up
- Standard (2WD Hybrid/Petrol): Approximately 390-452 liters.
- All-wheel drive (AWD): Around 320 liters due to the extra rear motor, as noted on DrivingElectric and Carbuyer.
- Storage Features: Features like a split-level boot floor, a utility hook, and a flex belt are available to help secure items.
With seats folded down
- Capacity: Approximately 1,097 liters.
- Note: The rear seats may not fold perfectly flat, which could affect the ability to carry very long items.
Other features
- Power back door: Some trims include a power back door with a kick sensor for hands-free access, which is convenient for loading heavy items.
- Loading Lip: Some models have a relatively high loading lip that can make it harder to load heavy items, as described in the Carbuyer review.
