Can the Toyota Corolla Cross and Yaris Cross use E10 gasoline?
Could anyone tell me whether the Toyota Corolla Cross and Yaris Cross currently on sale can use E10 biofuel gasoline?

I’m planning to change cars during this seventh lunar month (because there are big promotions), so I went to look at two models within my budget: the CX-5 Luxury and the Corolla Cross. I’m also concerned about using E10 gasoline (in case the government suddenly bans the sale of mineral gasoline from Jan. 1, 2026). When I checked the owner’s manuals for those two vehicles and also looked at the Yaris Cross, I saw that the manuals for both Toyota models only say to use unleaded gasoline, while the CX-5 clearly states that it can use both mineral gasoline and E10. However, Toyota technical advisors insist that E10 can be used. I pointed out that the manual does not say E10 can be used, and they told me not to worry because Toyota has a written confirmation on its website. Honestly, I don’t find that explanation convincing. If E10 can indeed be used, then why not state it in the owner’s manual (as with the CX-5)?
I’m posting photos here of the fuel section in the manuals for the three vehicles. If anyone has any source documents showing whether the Toyota Corolla Cross and Yaris Cross can use E10, please share them. Thank you.
