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.
