Corolla Cross anyone ? I'm only curious. Any idea when it's expected to get here ?

Hi, rayrayray

The last I heard was it was coming to T&T in June/July. No idea but I suspect we shall get the 1.8 G & V variant but no Hybrid (too expensive with the tariffs or something... no idea).

DOUBT we will get the models which are available in the US now: 2.0 AWD with electric brake, improved JBL sound system and light coloured ceiling upholstery.

Feel free to keep us posted, if you hear anything.

Staff currently doing training on it. Will update when I can.

Is it just me or the market generally is getting very saturated with crossover/SUV choices? What would be the reason/s why a shopper enters a showroom and then proceeds to a test drive and then actually buys the car? The power of marketing or here in T&T it's known as bs advertising?

So for the Toyota brand alone we have currently:

Raize 1.0T (grey market)
Yaris Cross 1.5 Hybrid (grey market)
CHR 1.2T, 1.8 Hybrid (grey market)
Corolla Cross 1.8, 2.0 (coming allegedly)
Rush 1.5
RAV4 2.0, 2.5 (2.5 via special order only)
Venza/Harrier 2.0, 2.5 Hybrid (grey market)
Fortuner 2.4TD, 2.8TD
FJ Cruiser 4.0 (no longer available locally)
4Runner 4.0 (not available locally)
Land Cruiser Prado 2.7, 2.8TD (grey market are 2.7 TX and TX-L)
Highlander/Kluger 3.5 (not available locally)
Land Cruiser 3.4TT (left to be seen)

So we have 13 entries from Toyota. 8 are available locally from a combination of the authorized dealer and the grey market dealers.

If the Corolla Cross does arrive, then where does that leave us? The price of the RAV4 has gotten so expensive now that people with professions who normally would have been a RAV4 shopper years ago will have to settle for a Corolla Cross? Is that progression or regression?

Also, I get that cars masquerading as "SUVs" are crossovers but what's up with this 'Cross' trend now? This is getting out of hand...

Subaru XV/Crosstrek
Suzuki SX4 S-Cross
Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross
Datsun Cross
Toyota Yaris Cross
Toyota Corolla Cross

Has there been any other name more exploited than Cross?

Blame the muricans dem, the bigger countries set the trend and that trend started in the u.s., when that happens we have no choice but to follow because it's all we will get, look at Ford, gm and Soon Nissan, they're getting rid of all passenger cars in favour of cuv's, those r also more expensive to buy which means more money for the auto manufacturers, it's a numbers thing.

It’s unfortunate. I absolutely hate SUVs particular soft car based ones. I prefer bigger sedans for my money.

[Habit7]

Toyota knows where their bread getting buttered. They sell more Rush than Corolla, so a less utilitarian and sleeker Rush in the form of a Corolla Cross is what the ppl want.

[kamakazi]

Better visibility (this is my main reason for liking slightly taller vehicles)
Easier to enter,exit and load
Better ground clearance (slightly)
Potentially better protection in an accident involving a lower vehicle; also better if all the other vehicles around you are getting taller (more SUV and crossover sales)
More wheel and tyre options to contend with our roads

[triniboi49]

Any prices and details on the Corolla Cross? I see TTTL has it on their site now and Facebook.

[Gladiator]

Thanks Max,

Based on what's available right now, I would have to say its a toss up between the RAV4, CRV and Forester for a comfy ride. If you want a more firm ride then the CX5 should appeal to you. My personal fav for ride however is the Forester. That thing is silky smooth. When things open back up, test drive all and see which one appeals to you, since everybody spine have varying thresholds.

Thanks bro.

That Forester sure is enticing!

Allyuh fellas have some strange tastes yes... the Forester is hedious i find.

[triniboi49]

I found out that the Corolla Cross is starting at 305k. Trying to get more info on options.

Hey man. I know this has no relation to this topic.Was on a sportage thread and saw you posts. Need some advice.

[agent007]

Just thought that I’d share even though we already discussed it.

Model 3
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Model_3

Battery
54, 62, 75 or 82 kWh (190, 220, 270 or 300 MJ) Lithium ion[3][4]

Model S
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Model_S

Battery
100 kWh lithium ion
Discontinued: 60, 70, 75, 85 and 90 kWh lithium ion

So a base model 3 max output is 165kW... So its $8.00 X 165kW

[Pirate]

^^^ Engine Power and Battery capacity are two different things...

[2WNBoost]

In that case:

Model 3 Standard
Peak Power
211 kW (283 hp)[223]

I was browsing a while back so I use this info

[Habit7]

Toyota is advertising the Corolla Cross as a hybrid. With a 1.8L hybrid I wonder if there will be a price overlap with the Rav4.

[agent007]

Habit, it’s $305k to $364k, subject to verification.

[CB Style]

It’s unfortunate. I absolutely hate SUVs particular soft car based ones. I prefer bigger sedans for my money.

When the Camry got the facelift in 2015, I enquired at TTTL if they were getting that model. The sale person told me it will only be on special order. He couldn't give me an exact quote but it was around base price $450k and up depending on the package.
I didn't even bother going further because I don't want a vehicle that is special ordered and not mainline.
Since then I only saw one here but not sure if its local or RORO.

Same situation. My dad loved the Camry after we rented one in Miami... Such a solid vehicle, it's sad we don't price them reasonably when they even reach here
