The TRD and Modellista customization kits were introduced for the Toyota Yaris Cross on the same day when the car marked its official debut in Japan.

Toyota’s in-house tuners, Toyota Racing Development (TRD) and Modellista have just introduced new customization kits to the Yaris Cross which just made its debut in its home country. While the TRD sports division brings to the subcompact SUV a new rally kit, Modellista has introduced an urban style package to the vehicle. TRD and Modellista go on a different route when it comes to the styling design. While the former comes in a more off-road oriented design, the Modellista makes the Yaris Cross look posher and premium suitable for the urban operations.

The customized TRD Rally kit is developed on the “Functional Edge Style” concept that offers many GR Parts for the subcompact SUV. Some prominent customizations on the package include a new bumper, red-white rally mudguards with GR logo, cladding for the wheel arches, aftermarket side skirts and more.

There are also 18-inch blacked-out alloy wheels, door handles protectors, tinted optics, carbon fibre number plate and more. Having said, the red mud flaps incorporated with Gazoo Racing (GR) logo are in line with other rally cars, thereby enhancing the sportiness quotient of the model. Custom sun shades with a branded trunk mat, door stabilisers, etc. are some additional GR parts on the Yaris Cross. The rear spoiler with black cladding along with matte black finishes for the boot just rolls out a more rugged look for the vehicle.

The Modellista Package just imitates over contemporary SUVs in the urban hubs considering the styling design. The customizations here don’t come off too extreme and are re-painted in body colour which gives the car a more massive visual appeal than it actually is.
