Combine flair and power in the new Toyota Corolla Cross

Toyota Motor Philippines introduces popular crossover’s all-HEV lineup


*Variant shown is the V HEV

The updated Toyota Corolla Cross, the country’s best-selling hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) model to date, has been formally introduced by Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP).

The new 2024 Corolla Cross, which debuted in 2020 with standard Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) models, is the company’s first hybrid electric crossover. It is currently available in an all-HEV lineup.

TMP President Masando Hashimoto stressed the importance of the Corolla Cross in Toyota’s mission to empower customers to seek sustainable mobility solutions during the launch ceremony, which was place at SM Aura in Taguig City.

“The Corolla Cross, the first strong hybrid crossover in the Philippines, has been a key to accelerating electrification in the Philippines. TMP pioneered hybrid in 2009, but it’s upon the Corolla Cross launch in 2020 when we started achieving 3-digit annual sales figures of xEVs. Last year, TMP reached 7,203 Lexus and Toyota xEV sales.”

“As of end of February 2024, there are already more than 4,000 electrified Corolla Cross on the road, part of the more than 13,000-strong customers who chose electrified Toyota and Lexus models since we started the electrified movement,” he added.

At a starting price of PHP 1,498,000 for the G HEV variant, the new Corolla Cross further expands TMP’s range of affordable and reliable electrified vehicles, signifying its strong commitment towards making the electrified lifestyle a mainstream choice for Filipinos.

ELECTRIFYING STYLE & FUNCTION

The V HEV and G HEV variants of the new Corolla Cross now sport a mesh-like grille with hexagonal outlines, while the GR-S HEV variant retains the stylish front façade of the previous Corolla Cross GR-S HEV.

For the headlamps – the V HEV and GR-S HEV variants now have LED lamps with automatic high beam (AHB) and sequential turn signal, while the G HEV variant has upgraded from halogen lamps to LED lamps.

Along with the GR-S HEV variant, the V HEV variant now also has a power back door with kick sensor. The top-of-the-line GR-S HEV variant comes with a panoramic view monitor camera and a panoramic moonroof for that added premium feel.

On the inside, all variants now have LED interior lamps and a leather steering wheel. The foot brake has also now been replaced with an electronic parking brake (EPB).

The new Corolla Cross is also packed with convenience features, such as a 12.3-inch fully digital multi-information display (MID) for the GR-S HEV. The V HEV, meanwhile, has a 7-inch thin-film-transistor (TFT) MID, while the G HEV has a 4.2-inch TFT MID.

All three variants have a 10-inch display audio with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a wireless charger for convenient smartphone charging on the go.

 POWER & SAFETY IN ONE PACKAGE

The GR-S and V variants are equipped with Toyota Safety Sense (TSS), which includes Pre-Collision System (PCS), Automatic High Beam (AHB), Lane Tracing Assist (LTA), Lane Departure Alert (LDA) and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control. All variants have active safety features such as Emergency Brake Signal (EBS), Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) and Vehicle Stability Control (VSC).

The new Corolla Cross is powered by a hybrid 4-cylinder, in-line, 16-valve DOHC, chain drive with VVT-i engine with CVT transmission. This hybrid engine combines the power of a conventional engine with the fuel efficiency of an electric motor for an eco-friendlier drive, giving customers the power to start their journey toward a carbon-neutral future.

With its stunning exterior, rich convenience features, and excellent fuel efficiency, the new Corolla Cross provides an attractive package for individuals looking to power their everyday drives with style.

The new Corolla Cross is available in three variants – the GR-S HEV, which starts at PHP 1,917,000; the V HEV, which starts at PHP 1,763,000; and the G HEV, which starts at PHP 1,498,000. Available colors are as follows:

Customers can check out the new Toyota Corolla Cross at SM Aura in Taguig City until Sunday, April 14, where it will also be available for test drive. The new Corolla Cross is also available for viewing and reservation at any Toyota dealership nationwide.

KEEPING THE COROLLA LEGACY

Hashimoto added the improvement in the Corolla Cross is also part of the drive to continue nurturing the Corolla brand.

“The Corolla is the best-selling Toyota nameplate in the world. Since the introduction of the brand in 1966, roughly 50 million units have been sold in 150 countries – and that includes the Philippines.”

“The Corolla’s story continues today, and with its role in carbon neutrality, we are working on having the Corolla enjoyed by generations to come,” he added.

Along with the Corolla Cross, TMP also sells the Corolla Altis sedan, which debuted as the company’s first mainstream vehicle with a HEV version in 2019.

Other HEV models offered by TMP are the Yaris Cross, RAV4, Camry, and Alphard. Follow Toyota Motor Philippines on Facebook and Instagram,  ToyotaMotorPH on X, and become a member of the Toyota PH community on Viber for further information about Toyota goods, services, events, and more.

This intimate event will not only mark the culmination of his years of musical exploration, but also provide fans with their first chance to experience the album’s dynamism live with all of its collaborators. This announcement comes after 11 long years as an artist forming creative partnerships.

With an amazing lineup of 11 well-known and new collaborators, the dance music-focused album highlights the strong relationships that Crown has built over his career.

“I was conceptualizing Séance and working on a lot of songs for around 5 years after releasing Orchid in 2018,” the prolific electronic musician shares. “It was a lot of thinking, absorbing art, researching and drafting concepts and tracks into existence. The backbone and foundation of the project took time, but the actual making of the music went smoother and a lot quicker than I expected. It was like finding the ingredients took forever, but summoning the art into the world was easy.”

Puentespina adds, “The creative process with my collaborators was smooth and natural. I’d like to say we were all building worlds and stories at a comfortable pace. Everyone got to share what they wanted to share quickly and without any hiccups.”

This year’s Salvo celebration included the presentation of prizes and incentives. Santé even raffled off a brand-new automobile to one lucky winner on Sizzle Night.
