Appreciate Toyota for pushing hybrids here. Hybrids are still the optimal form of vehicle electrification considering our country's lacking infrastructure.

The G and V variant looks better than the GRS, no?

[Max-eylz]

Maganda design ng front ng G and V
Hindi na malungkot tingnan

[intradibles]

The new grille reminds me of the Lexus RX.

[junrymalagsic]

Really nice intro Sir Vince. I like that your production quality improves over time. Thanks for this review

[Makgalemele]

Thanks for the review.
I liked the part about the battery the most ❤

[TheStryker]

What sorta irks me is that, the G and V variants look more like an EV when it comes to the front facia compared to the GRS version.

do you know what version of hybrid system is being sold here in the Philippines? i saw some review that in the US it is version 5 already. In the US the ICE is 2.0 liter and 4 wheel independent suspension. Here engine is 1.8 liters and beam type for the the rear.

Which is better the yaris cross [ high end] or the corolla cross [base model] ?

[marccatamio]

Does the Yaris Cross have a filter for the battery fan?

[raymondbagatsing]

have anyone ask how much the battery cost if you need a replacement?

[LouieRoño]

If fuel economy is not an issue, what’s the better car, HRV base variant or Corolla Cross base variant?

[HansADV]

Does the GR-S version uses electronic parking break? Or does it still use the footbreak?

[burningbernie]

The nickel hydride battery spoils the beautiful package. As often, the country is dumping ground for excess inventory of outmoded tech.

[calebaizen]

anybody knows what hybrid battery toyota put in here? lithium ion or nickel?

[KaisiirFlynn]

Toyota please upgrade your interior design and quality the only thing lacking in this one imo.

[raweltz]

Big upgrade. Both looks and tech esp on the base variant

fifth generation hybrid system na po ba ang corolla cross natin dito sa pinas

[stephena]

I hope the v variant has all the interior amenities of the gr-s, and if thats the case the v is going to be the perfect corolla cross, well at least for me, the suspension upgrade of the gr-s doesn't really makes sense to me. its a every day commuter car it should be a comfortable and compliant ride. If toyota wants to offer a "sporty" variant give it a AWD system and a bigger and bit more powerful hybrid engine like on other markets.

We have yaris cross here in the uk, i prefer corolla cross though. But the toyota CHR is in a different league.👍
