Toyota Yaris Cross towing capacity : the practical guide

The Toyota Yaris Cross belongs to the SUV family, a body style that combines a raised driving position with the structural rigidity needed for towing. Its higher ground clearance and longer wheelbase typically give a more stable behaviour with a caravan than a compact saloon. Across the 4 listed engines, figures vary depending on transmission and gearbox.

Toyota Yaris Cross towing capacity in one line

Across the 4 engines listed, built 2021, towing capacity is 750 kg (1,653 lb), with a manufacturer maximum braked towing weight of 750 kg (1,653 lb). Take the lower of those two figures and you have the real limit, before factoring in your gross train weight.

The engines listed cover full hybrid. Pick the one whose maximum braked towing weight clears your loaded trailer by a real margin, not just on paper.

Gross vehicle weight, gross train weight and payload

Gross vehicle weight (GVW) is the maximum laden weight of the car alone : 1,690 kg (3,726 lb) to 1,775 kg (3,913 lb). Gross train weight (GTW) is the maximum laden weight of the whole outfit : not disclosed for the listed versions, check the V5C logbook. Payload (GVW minus kerbweight) sits at 455 kg (1,003 lb) to 500 kg (1,102 lb), the share you can use for passengers, luggage and the towbar noseweight.

What to check on the V5C of your own Toyota Yaris Cross

  • Field F.1 / F.2 : maximum laden weight (GVW). The figure on your logbook is the only one that legally applies to your car.
  • Field F.3 : gross train weight (GTW). Compare it to the published values above to spot a discrepancy.
  • Field O.1 : maximum braked towing weight. Sometimes lower than the manufacturer brochure if your car was originally fitted without a towbar.
  • Field O.2 : maximum unbraked towing weight. Capped at 750 kg in most cases.

What licence do you need to tow with a Toyota Yaris Cross?

If you passed the UK car driving test on or after 1 January 1997, you can now tow a trailer up to 3,500 kg MAM with a standard category B licence: the rules changed in December 2021 and the separate car-and-trailer (B+E) test was scrapped. Drivers who passed earlier usually keep grandfather rights. As a stability rule, less experienced drivers should keep the loaded caravan weight to no more than about 85 % of the car kerbweight, especially on motorways and in crosswinds. Always check the V5C logbook and the manufacturer plate before hitching up.
