Toyota Corolla Cross 2024 1.8HEV version is on sale at a price of 905 million VND. Compared to before, the 2024 version has been reduced by 50 million VND despite changes in design and additional equipment.
The exterior of the Corolla Cross hybrid is not too different from the pure gasoline 1.8V version.
The hybrid version's identifying features include a blue Toyota logo and the words "HEV" on the side.
In addition, other exterior equipment remains the same between the two versions, such as the LED lens headlights, with a turn signal strip with a flow effect. The rear lights have a refined interface, still using halogen LEDs.
Both versions of the 2024 Toyota Corolla Cross continue to use 18-inch multi-spoke rims and 225/50 tires similar to the old version. In the international market, this model has a new, more modern rim design.
Inside, the Toyota Corolla Cross 1.8HEV does not have many changes in equipment compared to the pure gasoline version. Consumers need to pay close attention to see the difference.
The steering wheel is still leather-wrapped, integrated with all the basic buttons such as media, conversation, adaptive cruise control and lane keeping system.
The 12.3-inch fully electronic speedometer is new on the Corolla Cross 2024. This screen has high definition and smooth motion effects. Toyota offers users 3 different interface styles for customers to choose from. And each interface style will have 4 different themes. Thus, users will have a total of 12 different speedometer styles to customize to their liking. For the hybrid version, the settings will have an additional PKSB (Parking Support Brake) function, which is an automatic braking system when reversing if there is an obstacle.
The second upgrade of the 1.8HEV version compared to the old version is the 10-inch floating touch screen, capable of connecting Apple CarPlay/Android Auto wirelessly. In Vietnam, the pure gasoline Corolla Cross 2024 also only uses the 9-inch screen of the 2023 version.
The next worthy upgrade that consumers are looking forward to is the electronic handbrake combined with Auto Hold, now available on the Toyota Corolla Cross 2024 in Vietnam. This equipment is not only highly convenient but also helps the car's interior become more modern. The 1.8HEV version is also superior to the pure gasoline version in wireless charging and two driving mode switches (EV mode and Drive mode) located in front of the gear lever area.
The fourth upgrade inside the cabin is the panoramic glass roof, replacing the sunroof in the old version. As the name suggests, this equipment is a continuous glass panel and cannot be opened.
The space of the two rows of seats of the Toyota Corolla Cross 2024 has not changed. A small tweak is that the seat backrest has been added with suede material, but it will not make a difference in the sitting process. The red interior color of the new Corolla Cross has a much darker and brighter shade than the red color of the old version. The rear row of utilities has air vents and 2 USB Type-C ports.
In terms of safety technology, the 2024 Corolla Cross still has the Safety Sense package with many smart driving support features. The HEV version has automatic braking when reversing as mentioned and has 4 front sensors (the old version only had 2 front sensors). Toyota added that the 360-degree camera has now been upgraded to increase sharpness.
In terms of engine, Toyota Corolla Cross 2024 1.8HEV uses a 1.8L gasoline engine, producing 97 horsepower 142 Nm combined with an electric motor (71 horsepower, 163 Nm) for a total capacity of 120 horsepower. Comes with an eCVT automatic transmission and front-wheel drive system. According to Toyota Vietnam's announcement, the gasoline-electric version has a fuel consumption of 3 liters/100km traveling in the city.
Toyota Corolla Cross 1.8HEV has been reduced by 50 million VND compared to the old version, but has been changed quite a lot of amenities. This will help the car compete with rivals when the current standard "options" are no longer inferior to the Korean car group B and C.
