Car Buyer's Guide

Overview

The Toyota Corolla Cross is a five-seat C-segment SUV for family buyers who want a straightforward Toyota crossover with petrol or petrol-hybrid power. The facelifted XG10 range starts from RM133,800, with all variants using a 1.8-litre engine and CVT automatic, and the hybrid line topping out with the GR Sport.

Corolla Cross in 2026 — what's new

The Corolla Cross carries its 2024 facelift into 2026 with three Malaysian variants: 1.8V, 1.8 HEV and 1.8 HEV GR Sport. The specific 2026 news is on the HEV GR Sport, which gets an updated sporty look with a new grille, extra GR logos and a sportier cabin, while the rounded RM149k price is unchanged. The regular petrol and HEV continue without a 2026-specific change.

Which variant to buy

Most buyers should pick the 1.8 HEV at RM140,800: the RM7,000 over the 1.8V at RM133,800 buys the hybrid drivetrain, while keeping the same five-seat, CVT layout. Choose the 1.8V if the lower price matters more than hybrid running costs. The 1.8 HEV GR Sport at RM148,800 is for buyers who want the GR look; on paper, it shares the 1.8 hybrid output, so check the equipment list before paying the RM8,000 step-up.

Verdict

The Corolla Cross makes most sense as a no-drama family SUV rather than a bargain pick. Its strengths are the Toyota reliability reputation, an efficient hybrid option and a simple five-seat layout. The price is the catch. At RM133,800 to RM148,800, it starts above the Proton eMas 7, Proton X70, Jetour Dashing and MG HS, while sitting close to the Nissan X-Trail and Mazda CX-5.
