It is based on the TNGA (GA-C) platform and is fitted with a new torsion beam suspension which the company says provides a stable, cushioned ride. Its cabin offers ample headroom, with the elevated seating also offering wide views and reduced blind-spots for the driver, and 487 litres of luggage space.
The Corolla Cross is available as a petrol driven and hybrid vehicle fitted with a 1.8L engine, producing 103kW and 72kW of power respectively. The petrol model has a fuel consumption of 6.5l/100km and emits 150g/km of CO2 under the NEDC (New European Driving Cycle), while the hybrid model consumes 4.3l/100km and producing 98g/km of CO2 emissions.
Toyota Motor Vietnam said it would import the model from Thailand – the company's main production hub in south east Asia. It also said it will launch the new Corolla Altis 2020 sedan in Vietnam next week.
