UMWT wants you to cross realms! Confirms Toyota Corolla Cross launch in new teaser

Thai-spec model shown

The last time UMW Toyota (UMWT) released a teaser of their upcoming launch happening on 25 March 2021, there was no mention of what car it would be. Now, the company has released yet another teaser pretty much confirming it is the 2021 Toyota Corolla Cross.

Previously, the teaser asked users “Why settle for less?”, seemingly a direct shot at the Honda HR-V that has dominated the SUV market for years. But nothing in this teaser hinted at the Corolla Cross yet.

Now the new teaser comes with heavy hints of the SUV. Not only does it feature the silhouette of the SUV it also asks users if they are “Ready to cross to a realm of new possibilities?” Could UMWT be hinting to cross over to Toyota from Honda?

When the Corolla Cross makes its official arrival in Malaysia, the SUV will go up against the Proton X70, Honda HR-V, and Subaru XV.

The Corolla Cross will be locally assembled (CKD) at Toyota’s Bukit Raja plant. But early units will come as fully imported models (CBU) from Thailand. These CBU units were previously spied at Westport, Klang.

Review: Chery Omoda 5 in Malaysia - Bang-for-buck hero does its best to exorcise ghosts of Chery's past

Something about rising tides and lifting boats paints the picture of the Chinese car industry, and among the pleathora of startup small boats rolling into the vast sea you have your vessels; built on the back of years of trial and error, no doubt buoyed with a full coffer.

Toyota's Kinto is getting bored, finds a way to make the AH30 Alphard and Vellfire sliding doors close faster

You know how some cars can be truly fantastic except for one minor detail that you just can’t overlook and it ends up ruining the entire driving experience. It could be a terrible head unit or a bad seating position. Well, some of the engineers at Toyota’s Kinto subscription service thought that could be the abysmally slow speed of the sliding doors on the previous AH30 generation of the Toyota Alphard and Vellfire. Either that or they must be getting really bored over there. Or someone has secr
