Toyota has confirmed the development of a small mid-size SUV which has been targeted to take on European markets. Toyota's small SUV will share its underpinnings with Toyota Yaris and will be built on TNGA-B platform. There is no confirmed name shared yet, but reports suggest it will have the codename B-SUV
The B-SUV will sit below the C-HR SUV which is a crossover with a sloping roofline. As it is in the development phase, there is no legit information about its features and other data. It is expected that the B-SUV will share the 1.0-litre turbo petrol and 1.5-litre petrol engine from Yaris (international) and hybrid variants will also be launched.
