Can the 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid handle Ugandan roads?

Great car review

[@techselectug]

Thank you.

[@simonkine]

Ehhhhh one of the best reviews have seen so far, the details are really on point.

[@techselectug]

Thank you 😊

[@TESTIMONY-t1m3]

This is indeed a great deal. It's worth having..

[@augustinemusoke]

Very good car! Now considering that we are moving to electric cars from fuel cars, but I have two points of concern: 1. How does it perform in the long run on Ugandan roads? 2. Are there price modes available for installment payments? But good review indeed! I would like to own this one day. Thank you, Toyota, for a job well done, and thank you, OLE, for the very informative video.

wow.. am interested

[@KwemaTravel]

Wow, you did this car justice. Thank you for the review. I'm already wondering if you have inquired from current drivers of the same car the challenges they face on Ugandan roads or even access to mechanical services and how they have overcome them. I remember how my 2006 toyota modal used to play mechanics and i ended up being tossed to go here or there because *your car elina amasanyale manjji😂* comments.

[@techselectug]

Ugandan mechanics fear new things that's for sure... I think the best people to have a car like this fixed are the guys at CFAO motors they stock and have all the necessary tools.. funny enough when you compute the figures you end up spending less fixing the car at CFAO and what you would spend in 5 different garages being tossed around.

I guess it’s around 120m+, is it really worth it…I doubt.

[@techselectug]

Mechanics fear the "amasanyalaze" they don't want to modernize their workshops. Many of our mechanics don't have and don't even know how to use the OBD 2 machine for diagnosis. We are still stuck in "emotoka ekoze etya" diagnostics

[@techselectug]

For a brand new car very worth it. CFAO does all the fixing service etc for free for 2 years. And just know with a brand new car you won't see garage for at least 4years. I'm sure the ka price of the actual car is lower but u and I know our Ugandan Taxes are not for the weak 😁

[@LubuulwaChrisFitness]

@@techselectug haha with our Ugandan roads you will be in the garage in about 18 months

[@DavidOkwii]

Toyata has been very slack at getting into the electric cars. I guess hybrid is their entryway strategy into the EV market. Seeing as Africa is a 2nd hand car market, how many more years should we wait to get this one in the car bonds?

[@techselectug]

Hehe many years for sure and by the time they come as second hand I'm sure they will have developed all sorts of issues... I think the more complex a car is the more one should avoid getting it on the used market

[@andymwes]

Fun fact: The 1st mass produced hybrid was the Toyota Prius in 1997, that's 27yrs ago. It's us who're slow at adopting new things but that's Toyota/CFAO intend to change by bringing them brand new.

[@LubuulwaChrisFitness]

is it valve matic or vvti?

[@techselectug]

I've read through the cars literature and it states the car I dual Vvt-i

[@LubuulwaChrisFitness]

@@techselectug thank you.

[@DMulabiTalejan]

Nice to have this in Uganda... but why did they bring for us the angry ugly bulldog front grill when insteat of the better/beautifu front grill version?

[@techselectug]

maybe the one with the other grill is offered in a different trim level from the one i got a chance to check out. i am sure the guys at CFAO can get all the available trim levels
