2021 Toyota Corolla Cross First Drive Review in Malaysia, How Does it Compare to the HR-V?! | WapCar

[@eugp4198]

If you are out in the market looking for a car, but you don't know much about cars, not really into the "car guy" thing and afraid of getting regrets in the future, just buy the one that wears the Toyota badge.

One of my favourite reviewer.. Sharp, accurate, simple and informative.. 👍👍

[@WapCar]

Glad you liked it!

[@ianiskandar4165]

he is very goood... one of the best... greetings from Indonesia

[@michaellee3112]

Yup, agree on that 100%, keep up the good review

[@Found-Interesting]

Noticed the cross is vibrating after 90kms speed, is that common across everyone? also the build quality looks cheap with bonnet gaps, is it with everyone?

[@cuplove1]

To make to the point, IT WINS AT THE COMFORTABILITY OF DRIVING but not at the PLEASURE OF DRIVING, for me myself i chose comfortability more than the pleasure, it is a day in day out suv,, it just eases your life overall,, if you choose for pleasure than dont search for suv, fullstop

[@hansonang1078]

Great and honest review. This looks like a fine car for what you need, safety, comfort transport, a family car. Kindly continue review on V spec and coming CKD units.

[@WapCar]

Thanks, will do!

[@hansonang1078]

8:49 believe V spec might more quiet/ silent.

[@tommyleong3926]

X70 or Toyota Corolla cross G spec? Need suggestions.

[@Crasher_7]

In Malaysia, space is king. That's why they go for Corolla Cross rather than a C-HR.

[@deeroof]

The front looks aggressive meanwhile at the back too flat :v but design is an objective. It's ok

[@anandsamy5194]

Awesome review from Adrian. Best review on Corolla Cross among others. Keep it up. Just dont understand people still complaining althought it is miles cheaper than CHR. It looks like mini RAV4. Anytime reliable and less fuel consumption than X50/X70.

[@WapCar]

Thank you! You've made a great point there 😃

[@moeanthony9308]

It may be cheaper but the quality build is no where near the chr. It's very cheap looking inside and out.

great review. waiting for adrian's take on the top spec variant.

As always, wonderful video. Keep it up buddy!

[@bojekG]

The only problem, UMW or Toyota Malaysia is keeping the 2.0 Dynamic Force Engine at bay from entering Malaysia (don't treat Malaysian as dumbo Toyota), for how many longer be my guess. Toyota car can get a better lineup of car with this engine. By chance do you know why Adrian? Thanks.

[@jeffrey2271]

At this price, no LED and advance safety features... 🤔 Will go for X70 at RM 116K OTR top range. Sorry toyota

Hi, nice review from you. I am considering between buying this car or CX 8. Is it so much different for the level of comfort? if not so much maybe this car is a better buy?

[@bobochan4699]

Why Malaysia specs r so lame vs the USA? I guess toyota overwhelmingly confident that we will buy anything with the T badge... Dual zone ac, rear ac, dynamic force, direct shift cvt, even moonroof r available for the US market.

[@yangerek78]

The word itself comes from ' Corolla ' and that already means comfort and refined is the main point here other points is already ' bonus'

[@syahirasazali550]

Hi. I saw corolla cross 2022 in your page. Are they going to enter Malaysian market soon? Or was it corolla cross hybrid? The blue greyish colour.

[@clumsnums6550]

my opinion its worth to buy if compare with RM150k Toyota CHR price tag but Proton X50 & X70 killers ? i think its not.. even in term of specification offered is nowhere near but after sales service and parts of course different story lah haha

[@captainbarbarosa5638]

Adrian, l have read in one of the comments where if corolla cross is installed with 2 litre engine like in the US. Then, it won't have any underpowered issue especially when drving uphill or overtaking. I think that comment is valid. Why for Msia they give 1.8 engine? More profit?

[@JohnsonLuvie123]

Should bring in the Hybrid version TOYOTA
