At this point, the Toyota Corolla Cross has etched its name as Malaysia's current de facto SUV. This was the Honda HR-V's perch once before too, but in the face of its own age and newer rivals, it finds itself in quite a tight squeeze. It's up to the all-new model to regain lost footing then, which is set to be introduced here within the second half of this year (H2 2022).
