2023 Toyota Corolla Cross GR Sport Malaysian review - RM142k

[@ahguang86]

omg 142k pay for that ugly meter, foot brake.. old tech, like 10 years old car...

[@ryder9739]

I test drove this Corolla Cross GR Sport and the Cross hybrid. Big difference in acceleration power as the hybrid feels underpowered and lethargic when you do hard acceleration with a louder weird sound from the engine. The GR Sport feels more powerful than the hybrid with responsive pedal action. The throttle response is quick and steering feel is nicely weighted and responsive. If you want a more powerful and dynamic drive, this GR Sport will be much better than the hybrid version. Also, it looks much better too especially the front grille and rear albino lights.

[@Max-lf6lt]

the hybrid use less powerful engine with Atkinson cycle. less fuel consumption and heat management (something like that). on accelerate both engine and motor run together. hybrid more on fuel saving.

[@ryder9739]

@@Max-lf6lt yes, the hybrid is good for fuel saving, and that's about it I guess. For slightly improved handling performance and acceleration power, I will take the GR Sport. Also, the GR Sport looks better too especially the front grille.

[@charlesdegaulle2928]

get hrv turbo so you dont hog the right lane.

[@ryder9739]

@@charlesdegaulle2928 With HRV turbo you get free rattling sound inside the cabin.

[@Max-lf6lt]

@@ryder9739 yes. no doubt the GR much more 'fierce'. looks nicer. but hybrid acceleration not bad also.. full tank (36L) can get 6++ km..

[@aimanfitri0iv]

oh my i love the looks it's much better than the regular variant 💖😄

[@dinolauwz95]

I enjoy your honest and straight forward reviews, definitely my number one go to review channel about Malaysia's car market.

[@anandsamy5194]

Haha,,😆 cant deny Honda fanboys will say HRV better than Corolla Cross.

[@nym8537]

This version looks good compare to normal

[@limkientiong]

Because no big fish lips front.

[@ezrapardede1921]

still just as crap compared to competition, and no ,HR-V is not the actual competitor, it's just thr closest in the Malaysian market

[@lofu32]

Toyota interior is super uninspiring and boring, the way they built the screen with the cabling dangling like that is not acceptable for the price we paying. Toyota can't keep thinking they could get away just because of their branding. Cherry and proton looks way better inside though there are issues on drive refinement but it's catching up.

[@langkawiaviation]

Corolla Cross interior was a bit boring but yet somehow being able to beat the X70 more unique design.

[@esk4105]

Toyota interior boring? Not really? Toyota interior design have improved more than before, especially when comes with features and more safety features based on Toyota. To be honest, Toyota Cross interior design looks good and better than Proton X70. Corolla Cross also got Apple CarPlay and AndroidAuto but X70 don’t have

[@langkawiaviation]

@@esk4105 I mean by the interior was a bit blank with dummy switches around,same interior as Corolla Sedan.Unlike X70 full of goodies and buttons making it looks like high spec,that's my opinion,as well as Corolla Cross even the Hybrid wasn't fully digital instrument cluster unlike X70.

[@wong924]

You get what you pay, check out the interior of Harrier. I'm sure Toyota will upgrade their design in their next gen

[@amirfirdaus9419]

agreed i mean just look at their door carts basic asf lol

[@johanjohn6548]

simple, comfort, stable and nice family suv

[@ryder9739]

I'll surely take this over Honda hrv. Honda is known for producing inferior quality vehicles, poor NVH and rattling sound inside cabin even for a new car less than 1 year.

[@hj667]

Yup thats my situation noww!! I prefer GR rather than buy HRV 👍👍

[@Shambles7698]

Gr or not Corolla cross really good SUV 👌

[@aimanz202]

How does this compare to the 2023 Exora perhaps? Though with modern design, the cabin still feels kind of dated ,also the engine. which is quite similar case with the Exora, outside old design, inside renew abit, not so much other features besides space. but both is a big car with alot of space

[@muisix]

Everything looks good when compare to Honda

[@tonyebeo476]

Like the GR sport design. Mostly esthetics only. Kinda funny it doesn’t mean more sporty to drive.😂 No wonder China made cars started to rise nowadays.😮 I laugh out loud when I saw that old school foot break. Wa happen toyota?😂✌🏻 Anyway, people might prefer the all new Yaris Cross. Its exterior and interior Looks way better, with all the tech amenities .👌🏻🇵🇭

[@TheGinger3]

Can you compare this to the X50?

[@carlosmcse]

The first thing I tell the salesman is to NOT put those wind deflectors on the doors. They always offer them for free and I say NO.

[@xiper86]

if rear space is not the priority, worth considering the Mazda CX-30. Much more premium interior, handling, infotainment system and no CVT.

[@poovaneswaransupramaniam19]

agreed, for the cross hybrid asking price, would rather go for a mazda cx-30 base model..better value proportion offering from mazda in comparison to the toyota

[@thecompressor9595]

Actually both Toyota and Mazda have better offerings nowadays which can be seen fighting as competitors. If you want reliability and comfortable with bigger boot space, get Corolla Cross If you want premium, get CX30

[@vulturetribe6866]

Think it's dcvt.. It's. More reliable than normal cvt as it uses gear for start acceleration

[@xiper86]

@@vulturetribe6866 the one uses gear for start acceleration is Toyota's direct shift CVT. The Corolla Cross is not using that gearbox. The Zenix, Harrier and UX200 are using it and all of them are using dynamic force engine. The Corolla Cross is not using dynamic force engine here and pairing with just a normal CVT.

[@pudingaomar6341]

Still the same 2007 engine with 139 hp it will take u to century mark with a big yawn😂

[@Shd_dee]

Reliable engine dont need re-design. Spare part widely available. Just minor improvement here and there. Then it can last forever

[@boboiboy9350]

Only working things that actually durable and reliable aspects matter to most average drivers.

[@KCHRider]

Well, i think the omoda still the best looking b-segment suv in the market but in term of handling, it's still unknown

[@esk4105]

Even reliability for Chery still can’t beat Toyota

[@Timberlakelin]

Its c segment haha

[@aeroline11]

The downside of this Cross is still using a foot parking brake and traditional analogue meter. The media HU is so aftermarket where the Veloz looks far better than this Cross.

[@xavern81]

Just watched a separate video elsewhere that the Vios e parking brake is faulty. "Is" as the experience is from the owner himself and it is annoying to say the least. Eventually he managed to disengage after restarting the car a few times

[@aeroline11]

@xavern81 so you mean handbrake or foot parking brake is better than EPB? I had 2 cars under my name also using EPB and I find it absolutely convenient. Imagine old people who do they lift their leg and press on the parking brake. I don't like foot parking brake more than handbrake. All EV cars are using EPB, you have to embrace this even if you don't like it. This is future trend and unavoidable unless you choose to not owning any EV in future.

[@thecompressor9595]

@aeroline All people’s taste. But many still prefer traditional parking brake system as more durable than EPB

[@aeroline11]

@thecompressor9595 Many people prefer handbrake? Do you know all EV, all continental cars and expensive Japanese cars are all using EPB? Who tells you EPB is not long lasting? There are many EPB cars being used for 10 years and no issue. Imagine if you driving a RM 400k value car do you expect carmaker gives you a "handbrake" just because or durable?

[@brandenalexander6038]

Merc uses foot parking brake too 😅

[@eugp4198]

No doubt looks nicer, but it is disappointed that the GR Sport is not on the hybrid model.. Having both Toyota and Honda at home, Toyota has never disappointed us ..

[@yao8]

still manual foot handbrake kah? lol

[@bartocastro3672]

Why Toyota center screen always looked like CRT TV 😂😂😂

[@mehmetbey79]

Turkiyede lansmani yapilip Bayilerin bile 2024 de sansinizi deneyin dedigi araba corolla cross Çağrı merkezi çaresiz .. Kimse hiçbirşey bilmiyor Filolar yollarda hemde çok sayida Sari siteler dolu.. yuksek fiyata.. Araç varmi Yok ... Satış politikasi cok kotu bence Toyota turkiye ne yapmaya çalışiyor anlamış değilim Araç yok mu var mi ne yapildiğı belli degil 4 zam gördü bile❤

[@hakzima]

id rather they dont touch the looks and just strap a turbo to increase power 😎

If you want turbo then you can choose Honda HRV. You get additional power but comes with free rattling sound and worse nvh.

[@mizanyusoff3195]

@@thecompressor9595 yes lower level but why the active safety for corolla cross is bottom level??? Active safety for the cheap car is better than corolla cross?? 🤣🤣🤣 corolla is expensive car so their active safety should be more than myvi.

Is it just me who prefer a manual leg parking brake over an electronic one? Of course I prefer a manual hand parking brake, but the leg parking brake is the next best thing as it's still physical.

[@bazlit]

Same. With a foot brake I can push the car into park and engage the parking brake at the same time while with normal handbrake, you have to do one after the other.

[@xavern81]

Sorry but I got lost when you suddenly trash HRV lack of auto wiper (which is partially why I am not booking a HRV) when this is a review of the Cross GRS. Might make more sense to do comparison with Cross V/E and Hybrid

[@shahrulasrimohamednazri5778]

Why compare with HRV which is a B Segment SUV? Might as well compare it with the new coming contender Omoda 5. What say you?

It's because of the price, Malaysians doesn't see whether what segment it is but the price, brand and features
