Toyota Corolla Cross is a Stylish Hybrid Electrifying the Philippines

Here’s what the new 2024 Toyota Corolla Cross has to offer, and it’s a full-on Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) extravaganza!

Gone are the days of choosing between style and eco-friendliness. The Corolla Cross is here to prove that you can have the best of both worlds. Introduced back in 2020 as TMP’s first hybrid electric crossover, the Corolla Cross has now ditched its regular Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) siblings for an all-HEV lineup. Talk about commitment to a greener future!

At the launch event, which turned heads at SM Aura in Taguig City, TMP President Masando Hashimoto couldn’t help but gush over the Corolla Cross’s role in pushing for sustainable mobility options. With over 4,000 electrified Corolla Crosses already cruising the roads and a whopping 7,203 Lexus and Toyota xEV sales last year, it’s clear that the Philippines is riding the hybrid wave.

Here are the key features and details about this new model:

All-HEV Lineup:

The 2024 Corolla Cross is now available exclusively in an all-hybrid lineup. TMP has dropped the gasoline variants, making it the most affordable hybrid in Toyota’s stable.

Exterior Updates:

The non-GR-S variants get a fresh front-fascia makeover—less chrome, sleek new headlamps, and an overhauled grille. It’s like a spa day for your car! But fear not, the GR-S variant keeps its cool with the stylish front façade from the previous Corolla Cross GR-S HEV. And those LED lamps? They’re shining bright in the V HEV and GR-S HEV variants, complete with automatic high beam (AHB) and sequential turn signals. But wait, there’s more! The GR-S HEV variant takes it up a notch with a panoramic view monitor camera and a panoramic moonroof. Stargazing, anyone?

Interior Features:

The 2024 Toyota Corolla Cross has a stylish interior, with LED lights and a comfortable leather steering wheel. There are three variants available, each with different tech features. The GR-S HEV variant comes with a 12.3-inch digital display, acting as a central control hub for your dashboard. The V HEV variant has a 7-inch TFT display, while the G HEV variant features a 4.2-inch TFT display. All variants have a wireless charger, keeping your smartphone charged while you are on the go.

Safety and Convenience:

When it comes to safety, the 2024 Toyota Corolla Cross doesn’t mess around. Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) is a safety feature included in the GR-S and V models. It has advanced technology that helps keep you safe while driving. The suite of features includes Pre-Collision System (PCS), Automatic High Beam (AHB), Lane Tracing Assist (LTA), Lane Departure Alert (LDA), and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control. All the versions of the vehicle are equipped with advanced safety features to ensure the driver’s safety. These features include Emergency Brake Signal (EBS), Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD), and Vehicle Stability Control (VSC). These features are available across all models, so no matter which model you choose, you can be confident of your safety.

Powertrain:

Under the hood, the 2024 Toyota Corolla Cross boasts a hybrid 4-cylinder, in-line, 16-valve DOHC engine with a chain drive and VVT-i technology. But here’s the cool part: this hybrid engine marries the punch of a conventional engine with the fuel-sipping efficiency of an electric motor. So, whether you’re zipping through city streets or embarking on a road trip, you’re doing it with a greener footprint.

Variants and color:

The 2024 Toyota Corolla Cross rolls out in three sleek variants to fit your style and budget: the high-end GR-S HEV starting at PHP 1,917,000, the mid-range V HEV at PHP 1,763,000, and the more accessible G HEV at PHP 1,498,000. There are many car models to choose from, each with its unique features and available in a range of colors. For example, there’s Emotional Red 2, which is bright and bold, Platinum White Pearl Mica which is timeless, Celestite Gray Metallic which is understated, and Metal Stream Metallic which is sleek. Whatever your style, there’s a color for you.
