Official Toyota distributor UMW Toyota Motor has released some more details regarding the CKD locally-assembled Corolla Cross, which will be launched soon with the addition of a new Hybrid model. It turns out that there are some spec changes for the petrol variants as well, notably in terms of safety.
UPDATE: The press release issued by UMW Toyota Motor erroneously listed Toyota Safety Sense as a standard feature on the CKD Corolla Cross. A spokesperson has since confirmed that it will only be offered on the 1.8V and Hybrid models. The article has been edited to reflect this new information.
On the 1.8V and Hybrid models, the Toyota Safety Sense suite of driver assistance features has been upgraded with stop and go for adaptive cruise control and lane centring assist, meaning they will both function down to a standstill.
This is likely facilitated by the addition of an electronic parking brake, similar to what the Japanese-market model offers. Seven airbags, stability control, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, a tyre pressure monitoring system, a three-dimensional 360-degree camera system and a front dash cam will continue to be standard-fit.
There are a few other equipment changes, including standard LED headlights (previously only available on the 1.8V), new roof rails and USB Type-C ports at the rear to replace the previous Type-A ports. The CKD Corolla Cross also comes with an acoustic glass windscreen and a bonnet silencer to reduce engine noise on petrol-powered models.
These tweaks come with a very slight price reduction, with the Corolla Cross expected to retail at RM123,000 (down RM1,000) for the 1.8G and RM129,000 (down RM266) for the 1.8V; as previously reported, the Hybrid is slated to cost RM137,000.
These prices include the sales and service tax (SST) exemption, now extended to June 30, 2022. Each purchase comes with a five-year, unlimited-mileage warranty, with the Hybrid also getting an eight-year warranty for the battery, inverter and Power Management Control ECU – an extended ten-year hybrid warranty will cost an additional RM2,590.
Mechanically, the petrol Corolla Cross remains unchanged, powered by the same 2ZR-FE 1.8 litre naturally-aspirated Dual VVT-i four-cylinder lifted from the Corolla sedan. Outputs are rated at 139 PS at 6,400 rpm and 172 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm, sent to the front wheels through a CVT.
The new Hybrid model, meanwhile, will pair a 98 PS/142 Nm Atkinson-cycle version (2ZR-FXE) of the 1.8 litre mill with a 72 PS/163 Nm electric motor for a total system output of 122 PS.

No Safety Sense across all board? Will PaulTan dare write an article to bitchslap Toyota for not making a standard item, more so for a car way north of Rm100k?
Just updated that article has recorrected that Corolla cross 1.8G won’t come with toyota safety sense but except got some additional ADAS like bsm like 1.8v and hybrid. In addition that, all led headlights, usb c port, sound insulation, roof rails known as luggage rack, digital cluster for hybrid and adaptive cruise control with stop & go are all welcome
Thanks for your info bro.
1.8 HEV comes with exclusive 1K3 Celestite Grey ME colour.
All version (G, V, HEV) upgraded with auto rain sensor.
How U add also cannot fight CX30 la
Corolla Cross is suitable to compare with CX30
Wow, lexus specs at toyota prices. Bravo!
bravo toyota, value buy
This is a Prius SUV.
WLTC 26km/L, 36L tank.
It’s WLTC rated 936km.
CKD only cheaper by rm1k max? This is so pathetic man.
Now can afford such giant crossover. Best premium
pointless ckd exercise
Not really. Thailand selling more expensive.
CBU cannot sell so cheap, it’s CKD planned that helped to even out the margin.
Bye bye halogen headlights :)
Finally, wise move from Toyota to bring DRCC with all speed known as Stop & Go
Anyone know of the hybrid has rain sensing wipers?
Why hybrid output is less than ICE?
Awesome
Nice looking
Halogen headlights must be gone soon, like Perodua
Terbaik
Power it up
One of affordable premium crossover
Aiya current CBU model of V spec will sakit hati…… stop and go for DRCC, electronic parking brake? Aiya… just 3 months already refresh….with feature… Can retro fit back to the CBU model or not?
Even with DRCC all speed, still use the foot brake.
Yeah.
CKD is better,
10 years hybrid warranty
ACC StopGp
EPB, not foot brake allowed DRCC all speed
TPMS
Additional sound proof now added
acoustic glass windscreen
Bonnet Silencer
price is too expensive. better get a HRV and save the money up for something else.
Can’t compare with small suv. Cross is c segment and Hrv is b segment
Save money better buy Ativa Raize
1.0Turbo, more fun yet more comfortable drive.
Also more fuel saving than HR-V hybrid 2016-2021.
Different levels. Ativa is just small budget suv and Corolla Cross is crossover
Good news indeed. Wonder whats the waiting period wld be. Went to toyota last month and was told unlikely to get the cross this year.
I would like to get full price on hybrid plz
even xenia/velox/avanza got electric parking brake. hellooo toyotaaa
Any idea when will the CKD units be released?
Is the safety sense (including cruise control) at all speed?
foot brake ayooo 2021???
Confirm got stop and go function? Not in the brochure lerr
Wondering rain leak issue reported in Taiwan & Japan will be solve in Malaysia ckd version?
