Toyota Corolla Cross: XG10 vs XG10 Facelift
Verdict
The Toyota Corolla Cross XG10 Facelift is RM133,800 against RM123,000 for the Toyota Corolla Cross XG10, so the RM10,800 jump does not buy a new powertrain: both use a 1.8 litre petrol engine with 138 hp and 172 Nm, a CVT and front-wheel drive. Size and practicality are unchanged too, at 4,460 mm long with a 2,640 mm wheelbase and 440-litre boot. The key paper gain is safety: seven airbags remain, but the facelift adds auto emergency braking. The outgoing car counters with a larger 55-litre tank versus 47 litres and an ASEAN NCAP 5-star result.
Pick the Toyota Corolla Cross XG10 if you want the lower RM123,000 price, the larger 55-litre fuel tank and the stated 5-star ASEAN NCAP rating.
Pick the Toyota Corolla Cross XG10 Facelift if auto emergency braking matters more than the RM10,800 saving and the smaller 47-litre fuel tank.
