I have a the new 2023 version 1.8G CVT and me and my wife love the car, I was offered the ford territory but to be honest we only need a simple car and not spaceship!
I saw an actual 1.8G CVT unit at a dealer yesterday. It does have a concealed, body-colored, sensor at the front part of the driver's door handle that can lock the vehicle. So to unlock the vehicle, you either hold the door handle or touch that sensor. To lock the vehicle, you touch that same sensor. This is unlike some Toyota models that have an actual black, rubberized, button to lock the car.
Love your review NIKI. No fanfare, straight with clarity, and your voice is as smooth as the car/vehicle you're reviewing. Parang me bonus point agad ang product mo. Let's hear more from you.
Thanks for the review Sir Niky. I have a couple of questions. Does the 1.8L engine have the same dual fuel injection design (port and direct injections) similar to the 2L engine they have in the US? My second question is, does the CVT they use here in PH also have the physical first gear? Thanks and looking forward to your response. More power to Top Gear this 2022.
For the price I expected to have steering wheel buttons for the headunit. I don't mind not having the cruise control, but the steering wheel control should be on this car for the asking price and also the not having rear ac is a deal breaker, especially during the summers
Toyota raize i think its better, i drive my gf raize, but i fall inlove with toyota cross. i think im getting feed up driving pick up trucks.. i like tis kind of crossover compact SUV. its too easy to drive in the philippines especially the traffic show and small parking space on malls and condo’s..
could hav been a perfect car for me if ....... leathr seats led hedlights hand break not foot break a lil bit bigger screen rear ac vent and a lil more ground clearance it would not hurt toyota to add those for a 1.3m car
I ended up getting the top variant geely coolray.. its the same price as this base model corolla cross but packs more power and features. With toyota you're just paying for the name now.. build quality.. well, its not built or assembled in japan so what is it really offering???
Hardware that's tried and proven, easy maintenance (lots of empty space in the engine bay and underneath to work) and good resale value. What you get from other Japanese at this price point is often much smaller pa. The Coolray is smaller inside, but much nicer to drive and much faster, and the interior is better, but there's more tech on it with unknown long-term costs. I do feel it is of much higher quality than most previous Chinese cars... and build quality matches or exceeds many Japanese... but there are still many unknowns for the brand at this point. Wouldn't mind owning either car, TBH. Both have their strengths, and serve very different purposes.
Masakit sa bulsa pero di masakit sa ulo kagaya ng china cars, mura nga pero tingin mo ba quality parts nilagay dyan? Kaya nga naging mura yan kase low quality ung mga nilagay sa una lang maganda pero pag tagal dun mo makikita.
For me its not really the reliability but more on dependability of it where if it breaks you can easily get back on the road compared to the chinese cars that has yet to set up parts distribution centers. One sample scenario is finding a fender or bumpers for the car, you can easily get a surplus bumpers at a local part shop compared to chinese cars where they have order and wait for that part ro arrive since they dont really have distribution centers here
Hello Sir Nicky and everybody, If there is anyone of you who knows trying to get rid or trying to sell the Corolla Cross Hybrid wheel or rim, I really like those design so I'm willing to pay for one set of four. Just send me a message and I would really appreciate that. Thank you everyone.
The engine-transmission combo dates back to 2007, and is one of the few CVTs without nightmare stories surrounding it, so reliability is proven, already. Head-unit with T-Link is already pre-existing, and the chassis is based on the existing Corolla line-up, and a lot of the suspension and drivetrain components (drive axles, rear diff for the AWD variants) are from the Toyota parts bin. First year car, but mechanically, it's as close to a safe bet as any new car can get.
