step on it.
throttle response were dampened for FC purpose, but if you demand it will give.

3rd gen Prius feels sluggish, need to change to Power mode to feel adequately safe for exiting junctions/entering roundabout. BRV 'feel' like having better power to weight ratio even when compared to Prius in Power mode.

my brother had a prius C. OMG the car had so many trouble I don't know where to begin. Never thought that a Toyota is very problematic. I think hybrid cannot lah in Malaysia, maybe because of our weather.

Thank God Toyota's SC is good (once he had an engine problem and although his car was out of warranty, Toyota SC fixed it fore free because they said his problem was rare... IINM Toyota sent his engine to Japan to analyze and fix whatnot) and he managed to sell the car last year. Now he just drive axia

I can't drive the car that far to Klang to be checked before buying, and no mechanic will abandon his shop to go with you to check the car out without compensating him appropriately. That's my struggle.

If stay at kampung, better avoid hybrid?

Test drove Cross Hybrid today, surprisingly, no sluggish feeling on the pedal even in normal Eco mode. Feels adequately powered. Rear aircond vents, lane departure warning and steering assist, 360 cam, powered tail gate, many nice gadgets. Interior wise, similar to Prius. Feels like Cross Hybrid is successor to Prius in Malaysia la, updated with many modern gadgets.

At least won't have the issue of scraping undercarriage at bumps in a Cross Hybrid like Prius.

And yes, even electrified, the hybrid system has a lower output than the 1.8-litre petrol engine that churns out 139 hp, but at a rather high peak engine speed of 6,400 rpm.

The Corolla Cross Hybrid has, however, traded less horsepower for better fuel consumption figures; rated at 4.3 L/100 km while the regular engine returns 6.8 litres per 100 km travelled, both figures based on certificates from Thailand



I dont feel the oomph

I think the previous 1.8L Prius ride height is too low in my opinion. If you have 2 rear adult passengers , the car sags and scrape the undercarriage when you go over tall speed bumps.
If you driving pedal to metal in a rush for around 15 mins straight, the battery pack becomes hot and your rear passengers will feel the heat. It dies at 112k km, Toyota replaced under warranty.
Same old steering rack problem like newer large Toyota cars . But this thing even newer Honda cars are not spared if you are unlucky.

Looking from rich western countries angle where they can change cars every 3-5 years, they'll say prius best in reliability compared to other HEV. But when comes to majority countries, these HEV & EV are confirmed impractical garbage. Insights, CRZ have been discontinued here because proven failed. Prius C also proven impractical after warranty ended. Those who bought quickly sold off before they bear the consequences

the important part lies within the start stop 0-40 kmh acceleration power. lower output at peak but high torque at low RPM usually solves most of the 'under-powered' problem

being said that, i am going to test drive this model for sure later
