Take a peek at its spec sheet and you already know that power, speed, and athleticism are definitely not things the 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross stands for. But like the Filet-O-Fish – a burger nobody buys for its size – Malaysia’s nouveau fast-favourite SUV’s talents lie elsewhere, if only marred by a few oversights. Please note however that our test car is from the early batch of fully-imported (CBU Thailand) cars. Aside from roof rails, there are no major differences between these and the subseq

We’re halfway through 2021 and though it felt like time has been moving quickly to some, others might think that the first half of the year felt like the entirety of 2020 (albeit worse, perhaps?). Despite the persistent lockdowns, the first half of 2021 did at least gave a us a few model launches, from the Toyota Corolla Cross to the all-new Isuzu D-Max. Still, we have 6 more months to go before 2020 2.0 2021 ends. Without further ado, here are some of the cars we think could be launched in the

At long last, the 2021 Toyota Corolla Cross is here. The new SUV from Toyota will be competing in one of the most competitive segments in Malaysia. Let’s dive into one of the most highly-anticipated comparisons of the year, comparing the Corolla Cross against established rivals such as the Honda HR-V. The Corolla Cross is actually closer to a Subaru XV than a Honda HR-V but since the XV is a slow seller here, there's not much sales for Toyota to pull from Subaru. Instead, Toyota will of course b

Like it or not, sports utility vehicles (SUVs) are here to stay - which means that the 2021 Toyota Corolla Cross is bound to be launched in Malaysia next year. So, before that happens, let's answer some burning questions and cross off (pun very much intended) any doubts you may have! First things first, how sure are you this is coming? A few months ago, the Corolla Cross made its world debut in Thailand and was subsequently launched in Indonesia and Vietnam. Somewhere along the line, it was spot

The 2020 Toyota Corolla Cross has been spotted in Malaysia yet again! This time, it is seen in action enjoying a spirited drive on the roads of Putrajaya. When the Corolla Cross was spotted previously, the background of the image was cropped out which left many sceptical over whether the car was really spotted in Malaysia. Other than the trade plate, there was no other way to prove that the car is in Malaysia, highly likely at the Toyota HQ in Shah Alam. Now the same heavily camouflaged SUV has

The first ever Toyota Corolla Cross, a C-segment Corolla-based SUV that’s supposed to a more mainstream, cheaper and more practical version of a Toyota C-HR, is set to make its global debut in Thailand next month. Leaked photos suggests that the Corolla Cross will look like a scaled down Toyota RAV4 – not a bad start. Based on what we know so far, the Toyota Corolla Cross will be based on the Toyota Corolla Altis’ TNGA-C platform, but with a more space efficient (and cheaper) torsion beam rear s
