Can la, for 100km/h you need flat road or better still, going down a slope and to let go of the pedal first to get into EV mode and then gently press the pedal to maintain speed.

But if you keep pressing the accelerator at highway speeds, you will have worse FC compared to for example a BRV, at the same speed. If you pulse and glide at highway speeds, can still get better FC (4+L/100km) than a BRV (22km/L), but they are close.

Really topkek, called up SC, SC staff also don't know what's the recall about. Say affected cars will get call from them.

The hybrid averages about 5L/100km or 20km/l mix of city start-stop and highway cruising. If purely highway cruising with pulse and glide. can get sub 4L/100km or more than 25km/L.

Go test drive lo

For me it's no brainer to get the hybrid, been thinking to get Prius 3rd Gen but then the complaints that it scrapes the bumps, I scared the Prius too low how to wade flash floods, old car how to maintain. Most, if not all my concerns are addressed in Corolla Cross Hybrid.

They FEW things I cannot accept is the stupid dashboard and inside door panels - they purposely take up space with not much purpose, Honda did a much better job optimising space. I have many times hit my knees on the dashboard parts jutting out and also the steering wheel, getting in and out of the car.

Can explain more on this? Car is under spouse name, spouse did complain that the road tax is RM361 but when I googled, HRV 1.8 and TCC 1.8 roadtax is RM279.

Well would like to go down the rabbit hole of how this was done.

Learnt something that I wasn't aware of today. Thought all 1.8l should be similar road tax.

Not only competition from chinese cars, but probably they raise the price a lot to buffer for increased inflation and volatile exchange rates next year. They give 'rebates' now is the price they are comfortable with in the near term. If inflation/cost goes up, they can just remove the rebates instead of increasing the price in such a short time.

Generally happy with the hybrid, and found out that the battery in the Cross is not AGM but regular MF battery, so it's cheaper to replace.

Problem now is the electric tailgate - the motors are starting to sound like they're struggling. Not sure this is covered under warranty or under wear and tear. The car slightly more than 1 yr.

After warranty over not sure have option to change to manual tailgate or not, I feel the replacement motors for tailgate not gonna be cheap.

If you ask me Honda service center better than Toyota la, but now excuses same like Potong already - complain problems - answer is - it's normal-la, maybe because it's assembled in Malaysia.

That is not a knocking sound, more like slipping gears (you know the sound when you change gears in manual car and missed the timing with clutch) - mine happens ONLY when I am pressing the brakes and happen to hit a bump/pothole - I suspect that's the planetary gear CVT slipping when its trying to regen.

Edit : or are you referring to the knocking noise on honda?

I see, yeah my previous Honda also got knock-knock sound, usually when going over speed bumps, uneven roads not so obvious since other sound will cover it. And also my second row seat also have knock-knock sound from the seat locking mechanism being loose. The first knock-knock say wear and tear - not covered, 2nd one about the seat - say it's normal, just add more grease - haih.

After 5 yrs, the CVT shifting from N/P to drive/reverse not so smooth already, fast fast sell. Hopefully the Cross less problem la...

I don't quite feel confident with the stock tyres when taking corners or stopping, especially in wet conditions.

I have had good experience with Hankook last time with another car, so might try it.

Yesterday for 30,000km service cost almost RM1k, from the maintenance price list, don't see it.

RM826.21 but when send car, service advisor say RM900+ dunno why in the end cheaper.

Wife complain why so expensive, I look at the maintenance cost list, dunno how to explain, looks confusing to me.

Agree, the paint is very thin, maybe part of cost savings measure. My Cross' paint scraped at few places d, especially at dents caused by door of other cars, even with the ceramic coating or whatever coating.... sigh

Guys, I remember seeing a review saying only the GR Sport version have anti-crash bar at the rear bumper, other versions of Cross don't have this but can install it outside.

Anyone installed the rear anti-crash bar? Where did you get it done and at what cost? Looking to do it at KL, more towards city center, or nearby taman.

A friend send to me a FB short video about anti-roll bars for Cross, but towards the end of the video, the video shows the rear anti-crash bar.

I am more interested in the anti-crash bar than the anti-roll bar.

I just found back the video from my whatsapp chat - and the shop name is there, but just want to ask some opinions and recommendations from owners here.



Not don't care, maybe like me, didn't even know it was not installed or what it was until I see videos educating us about it.

Wah, used car dealer do competitive analysis? Got sos of the video?

Can't answer you for the petrol fc but more for the first part of your statement.

Actually I saw a more of the petrol variant. Only with the facelifted version do I see more hybrids on the road (but that's one person's obeservation).

Used to ask myself why would people want a petrol version when hybrids just a tad more expensive but after listening to the youtuber Bro Wong - I begin to understand why ppl chose petrol version - cheaper, higher resale value, less maintenance vs hybrid. All this need higher petrol prices or higher usage/travel distance to justify the hybrid version economically.

These buyers just want a cheap reliable Altis with high ride height for school and grocery runs, don't want to deal with hybrid parts.

The wireless charger with clip is rubbish - or I duuno how to use it, I feel like the phone is pushed down with too much force, if there are sand or particles, habis the phone screen. Toyota make reliable cars but space utilisation is rubbish.

Hybrid year 2022, RM73.5k, can nego.

Tried attaching the FB Marketplace listing but can't seem to do it. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1817083102496684
