Launched on Dec 4 at the Kuala Lumpur International Mobility Show (KLIMS) 2024, the Toyota Corolla Cross HEV and HEV GR Sport bring a fresh perspective to Toyota's lineup, blending innovation with sustainability.

Designed for Malaysians seeking a durable, reliable, and eco-friendly compact SUV, the Corolla Cross HEV range stands out with its advanced hybrid technology. Its advanced self-charging system generates energy while driving, braking, or coasting, delivering efficient performance with long-term cost savings.

Reflecting Toyota's dedication to sustainability, both models prioritise fuel efficiency and reduced emissions, offering a cleaner, greener drive — whether navigating city streets or embarking on long-distance journeys — without compromising on power or reliability.

Here's a closer look at both models:

Leading the facelift are bold design updates, including the new front grille and bumper for the Corolla Cross HEV. The BI-LED headlamps and LED daytime running lights give the car a confident, wide stance, making a lasting impression wherever it goes.

Adding to the excitement, the compact SUV now comes in a striking new shade — Dark Turquoise — perfect for drivers seeking a modern and vibrant look.

Inside, a 12.3-inch full-colour multi-information display offers seamless access to essential information, ensuring drivers stay connected and informed. The HEV model also introduces an electric parking brake (EPB) with auto brake hold, replacing the conventional foot pedal brake for a more intuitive and convenient driving experience.

Tech-savvy drivers will appreciate the GR Sport's 10.1-inch touchscreen display, equipped with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. Whether it's navigating the city or streaming music, staying connected has never been easier.

Besides that, the Corolla Cross HEV GR Sport is equipped with the same 12.3-inch full-colour multi-information display featured in the standard HEV model.
