Who’d have thought a few years ago that we’d see practical SUVs in the Aston Martin, Ferrari and Lotus lineups, or witness an all-electric Porsche receiving such a warm reception from driving enthusiasts?

Well, it’s all about diversification and keeping the cash coming in, and it’s not just high-end luxury and performance brands that are having to adapt.

The Yaris Cross compact SUV is an example of the latter approach; based on the same TNGA platform as the regular Yaris, it sits alongside the standard supermini and the performance GR model on the Toyota price list.
