Verdict
This is not a mechanical step up. The Toyota Corolla Cross XG10 and Toyota Corolla Cross XG10 Facelift both use a 1,798 cc naturally aspirated petrol engine with 138 hp and 172 Nm, CVT automatic drive to the front wheels and a 185 km/h top speed. The RM10,800 gap buys the facelift more modern driver assistance, a 10.1-inch screen, 360-degree camera, adaptive cruise control and an electronic parking brake. But it also drops fuel tank capacity from 55 litres to 47 litres, so the outgoing car still makes sense if equipment is not the priority.
Pick the Toyota Corolla Cross XG10 if you want the same engine, size, boot space and warranty for less money, with a larger 55-litre fuel tank.
Pick the Toyota Corolla Cross XG10 Facelift if you want the newer cabin tech and safety kit, especially AEB, adaptive cruise control, steering correction and a 360-degree camera.
