How fuel-efficient is the 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid? - AutoBuzz

We recently took the new Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid priced at RM136,550 on a road trip from Kuala Lumpur to Penang Island. Toyota claims it can do 4.3L/100 km but it has a smaller tank than the Perodua Myvi....how economical will it be with 3 passengers and cargo?

Just bought this car. I have been using it since last March & I get about 22-23km/L with mixed usage between the highway, city, and heavy traffic. Always keep the RPM Indicator optimally around ECO and Charging, occasionally in Power when using the cruise control.

One of the best reviews ever….NICEEEE!!

You’re the best ! And for even AutoBuzz .. great job Eugene

Excellent review, video & scenery was breathtaking. Hoping the Corolla Cross Hybrid comes out soon in the US. Cheers!

[@pthomassimon4396]

I have been driving this car since Friday (3days) . Superb vehicle and excellent fuel consumption . Having an electronic brake is irrelevant. The push foot parking brake works just fine . The fuel tank capacity is more than sufficient for long rides. Immediate indication of fuel savings. Toyota vehicles are very very reliable . I have been driving only Toyotas for decades. The best second hand value car. Just got an excellent price for a 12 year old Vios.

[@harmanhameed6286]

What's your avg fuel consumption?

[@hazimzamri3254]

Make sure you can claim the hybrid battery before 8 years

[@aryliciousxd2478]

Is it true it’s slow, compared to other car

[@pthomassimon4396]

@@aryliciousxd2478 I have now driven 800 km with this hybrid. It’s giving me 4.8 litres per 100 km or approximately 22km per litre. However, I have kept my speed about 80km per hour with controlled acceleration. There is a power mode which gives amazing acceleration where the dashboard screen turns red. There is also the normal mode and eco mode. Almost all my driving is on eco mode in urban settings. This is excellent value for money over the long term financially even after considering the extra RM 8000 paid upfront. These are the basic facts based on my own experience and does not consider any personal likes or dislikes.

A great review. We don’t have this model in Australia yet but I was keen to compare this to Rav hybrid before I decide what to buy. I was worried about weak engine on the car compared to RAV but your review gives the sense the car won’t scream on highway driving.

[@nightowlnzab]

Just a heads-up, I think this hybrid has the 1.8L petrol engine, but the model we're getting in Aus/NZ will have the 2.0L - so that's a bonus.

[@eugp4198]

I think UMW Toyota should have chosen marathon city driving to showcase the hybrid system. A recent test by Taiwanese journalist driving the Altis Hybrid for 8 hours around Taipei City and the FC was 21km/L ~ 4.8L/100KM. The hybrid strength is regenerating during slow moving and braking which highway driving not able to do. Even my 2.5L non hybrid Toyota also did a 6.7L/100Km on highway from KL to Penang, so UMW could have shown the value of Hybrid in city driving instead.

[@muhdarfanzaki1434]

on the other hand, i think they managed to debunk the potential anxiety of buyers with regards to long distance highway driving in a hybrid - as they are deemed to be not the best for. here its seems to be faring quite well. of course in city driving, the hybrid setup is simply the best

[@alfaridabraham7791]

What is the lifespan for the EV battery (~7 years), and how much to replace it?

[@aldenloo6424]

Life span should be around 160k km or earlier (estimated 7 to 8 years on the road) and it depends on your usage too. RM 8k plus for batt. That's the price for prius and I was told the same for cross batt. Pay rm around 3k for extended warranty for batt. Worth it or not you need to do some math calculation.

[@eishamrayyan]

8 yrs unlimited mileage warranty for hybrid battery with optional 2 yrs extended warranty. It is possible that the life span more than 10 yrs

[@jetdin9400]

honda insight bought in 2011, 11 years on, original hybrid battery still chugging the car along. i assume these newer tech batteries should be able to last longer

[@HotRod16]

My answer is once you get this aa your new car, just start save aside RM100 monthly if you fear about the battery. Just like you buying an insurance. 5 yrs down you already have RM6k in pocket.

[@dason8488]

Nice, I’ll wait for facelift, see if it will come with EPB, auto brake hold, paddle shifter and move the USB port to the compartment above wireless charging station. Current USB port at the main unit will let the cable hanging, not a good design.

Not necessary to have electronic parking brake, as manual brake is more durable than electronic parking brake.

So how much is it for miles per a gallon?

[@Nguyenducky]

divide the number of liters per 100 km into 235.2. For example 6 liters/100km will become 235.2/6 = 39.2 mpg Or in the case at the end of this video 7.3 litter / 100km becomes 235.2/7.3 = 32.2 mpg

Good luck on your new hybrid. I had my nightmare for 9 years.

[@bobochan4699]

Can u explain further? Whats wrong?

[@somethingtobelievein]

@@bobochan4699 I'm a Toyota Prius C owner. The first 3 years - The hybrid battery broke down(for whatever reason,I don't know) and stays in the Toyota Service centre for almost a month. - replacement of Hybrid related parts are very expensive(just to give you an idea,the air cond compressor would cost about RM 4.5k) - on the 7th year,the engine block broke down(again for whatever reason, I don't know. I'm consider myself as a light footer). It went into the Service Centre for almost 5 months.Again I'm carless for this whole period of time. - lastly the resale value of this car is really really bad.I've bought this car in 2012 (RM 97k) and sold it at Mac 2022 for only (RM 17k). Even a non hybrid car of the same age can easily can fetch higher than my car. Finally,that's my experience throughout the 9 years but maybe the next hybrid level of Toyota could be different experience but I don't want to bet my luck on it anymore.

[@bobochan4699]

@@somethingtobelievein Thanks 4 the info, yup the dealership said this new hybrid engine is better than previous gen, but somehow i doubt it. When u do the math plus minus everything including RV, u r not saving much with hybrid excpt 4 the environment. I m sticking to gas for now. Thanks again.✌

[@ghostbond1074]

That sounds...I mean they kept your car for 5 months? That's either unbelievable, or you hit the worst timing possible with the whole covid stuff. Keeping your car for 5 months is not normal. I have a regular prius at 200,000 miles it had never needed a repair. At 201k it needed around $1k of repairs - it's uncredible. My previous car (a buick) had to be junked at 140k miles and numerous repairs. Maybe the prius-c was particularly crappy but my regular prius has been consistently reliable.

We got short changed I reckon. EU/US gets the newer 5th gen 2.0l hybrid system which I reckon would be far better. More power too (combined 192ps vs the 122ps we get). Plus, foot parking brake...

[@willidevegt8831]

i`m not very impressed with 7.3liter / 100 km these are numbers can be reach by many none hybrid cars and it is far of the claimed 4.3L/100km 7.3L / 100km = 13.7km / Liter Also you say 1 quarter tank left from 36 liter = 9 liter with that 9 liter it shows you a range left of 93 km This means the last quarter tank gives you a range of 93km which is roughly 1 liter to 10km Which is really very bad

[@ryder9739]

I recently tested the hybrid and GR Sport Corolla Cross. The hybrid feels underpowered under hard acceleration when the engine emits a loud and weird sound. With the GR Sport version, it feels more powerful with hard acceleration and the growl of the engine sounds normal and not so loud in comparison to the hybrid. The engine of the hybrid sounds weird as if it's crying or whining like a baby in hard acceleration.
