Now economy not so good maybe better to wait and see but uncle gonna retire soon

Maybe just give up my dream of driving something better and just get a P2

Corolla Cross does have spare tire. It's not full sized spare though.

600+km range is good enough in my opinion.

One thing I like less about the HRV is that the Blind Spot Monitoring is better on the Corolla Cross.

Here's another way to look at it. Non hybrid is 7L/100km. Hybrid is 4.5L/100km. For every 100km you save 2.5L of fuel. If you keep the car for 250,000km, that is 2500 x 2.5L = 6250 L. @ RM2.20 / L that is RM13,750 of savings over the lifetime of the car.

Hybrid battery SA says 7-8k to replace right now. So that nets RM5,750 - RM6,750. of savings if you replace the hybrid battery out of warranty once. V spec is RM134,429 now. Hybrid is RM139,991. So the difference is RM5,562, which means the V spec and hybrid is essentially the same cost to run over 250,000km. You get minor upgrades with the Hybrid such as the larger touch screen and quieter engine operation etc. But hybrid means that 3rd party mechanics most likely will have no idea how to fix the car.

So it's just preference really. I liked the hybrid a lot because much quieter when driving at low speeds and excellent for stop & go traffic. I was going to only service at dealership and I keep my cars for a very long time (I maintain them and run them until they're done) so the downsides of hybrid didn't matter to me.

don't get me wrong, i am not against opting for a hybrid car. Especially once the targeted subsidy for petrol begins, and ron95 price is floated according to market price, then a hybrid makes perfect sense. I'm just annoyed by UMW's implementation of the head unit whereby to utilize android auto/apple car play, the usb cable has to be hanging off the head unit, and not routing the usb port to the 4 empty panels above the wireless charger



btw is it possible to get navigation to appear on the 7 inch instrument panel meter? either using google maps/waze

I agree it's kind of odd that Toyota didn't reroute the usb wire to a more logical place. Also no air cond for the wireless charger (wireless charging gets hot). Just get a 0.5m cable and it's roughly the perfect length and doesn't get in the way.

The head unit and dashboard panel isn't connected. So nope.

No brainer if i saw people take petrol version. This car feel more refine in Hybrid. So far i only think what makes corolla cross appeal is because the hybrid EV package. I would rather take new HRV if i want 100% petrol.

Just my thoughts

The best thing of cross hybrid is it come with spare tyre.

Good day to all TCC owner.
Finally received my Cross Hybrid on 3/2 after waited for 1 whole year.
I got one question to ask, has anyone here successfully removed the stock wireless charger?
I wish to take it off as I originally wasn't asking for it.
Also, any recommendation for USB port accessory for the panel on top of the storage space?

I heard the 2022 latest version (with roof rail), has problem of water coming into the cabin from the rail itself, from youtuber of taiwan. My question, is malaysian umw ckd facing the roof rail leaking problem as well? Thanks in adv

This not happen at Malaysia, I owned 1 Hybrid with roof rail. No leaking or wat so ever.

that is because of the material and the assembly mistakes in Hotai Group (Toyota Taiwan). Ours is done by UMW Toyota

1 year is very long, may i know which branch you placed your order? the last i check is around 3-6 months, but i didnt proceed, i thought of getting 1 before my marriage in october, dont think will ever make it then.

Right now the car waiting time is still 5-6 months for the hybrid version.
Just tested it, I quite love it.

Any known issues with the Hybrid version so far?

Huh wait what? isn't android auto/apple car play is supposed to be wireless?
Please enlighten me as i'm new in this. Thanks!

I just tested one unit of Hybrid Cross, putting it high in the consideration list. actually no.1 consideration. haha!

There is wired and wireless android auto/apple carplay, depends on car model.

Unfortunately, Cross (all versions we have) only comes with wired. You need a dongle/adapter to make it wireless.

Wow! Why don’t have wireless lah. The tablet panel must be sourced cheaply.

Yeah, it isn't pleasant to see also because we have the usb wire sticking out from the headunit instead of somewhere else. Bad design choice.

European models have wireless options. And their console panels seem better as well. Damn.

So where do you put your phone? And if you want to use Waze and all? Do you use your phone or connect directly with the wire and display on the console?

I see some countries have 2.0L, AWD, electronic parking brake, etc. so we're kinda being short-changed here.

I leave my phone at the middle console area, it's tilted at like 45 degrees between the wireless charger and the side wall. So far so good, it doesn't move and connection is stable. Wireless charger is very seldom used because my phone is always plugged in for Android Auto.
