In a couple of months, the BYD Atto 3 won't be the only choice for Malaysians looking to add a seemingly affordable electric SUV to their garage as the upcoming 2024 Chery Omoda E5 will be arriving here soon. Planned for launch in March 2024, Chery Malaysia is counting down the days towards its first EV model in the country and the public can even catch a glimpse of it this weekend on 7 January.

It appears that the Toyota Corolla Cross will be the next recipient of the GR-Sport treatment, as evident from spyshots from Taiwan.

As for the rear-end, the Corolla Cross GR-Sport gets clear-type LED tail lights, a lone GR-Sport emblem on the tailgate, and a more prominent rear diffuser piece. A gloss bl

A heavily camouflaged SUV has been spotted on the roads and based on what we can make of the SUV’s outline, it can’t be anything else but the 2020 Toyota Corolla Cross! When the Corolla Cross made its debut earlier in July, we also estimated that the SUV will be coming to Malaysia as a locally-assembled (CKD) unit by the end of this year or early next 2021.
