In most Toyotas that have GR badges, the upgrades are mostly cosmetics and little differences in the interior only...while those chinese cars like GAC emzoom and geely coolray that are priced around 1.2 million already has a powerful 1.5 turbo that has around 170-180 hp and has a better quality interior
Of course people will struggle to overtake on the very dangerous ligaya drive unless you wanna d1e early lol what are you smoking? It's a double solid yellow line road. If you don't know what that means, enroll in a driving school again .
@@aileene-ez9gx Are you stupid? Parts of Ligaya have 4 lanes and some have a solid white line, where you can overtake if it's clear. Obviously you aren't a local who passes through there regularly. I AM.
I like the Corolla GRs except for the glass roof. Previously there were complaints from other countries about glass breakages for glass roofs due to extreme heat or a fruit falling from a random tree.
Car Care Nut youtube channel also raised an issue with the sun roof rubber seal. Not in this model but Rav4. It is very expensive and labor intensive repair/replacement - he removed the interior cover. I hope they have fixed that issue in this new model where replacement is easy and simple. But still, sunroof is another place where water and wind can leak or seep-in once the rubber wears out. If I will keep the car for the long time, I will get the one without sunroof.
Yep definitely think twice about getting this if you don't have a covered parking space. And even then, the occasional outside parking can get you by surprise
why its not included in the expanded EV law, only the price of rav4 and alphard went down because it was japan made daw. the corolla cross is still imported
The Corolla Cross is made in Thailand, taking advantage of AFTA. The expanded EVIDA law will be beneficial to HEVs and PHEVs from countries PH doesnt have a free trade agreement with like Japan, USA, ROK, and the European countries
@@punongacacia5162 double question mark kasi question nya eh!! hahaha pasensya na medyo harsh.. i believe if you will settle for only 1 car, and had a family.. yup zenix is a good option price wise. but you have to undersrtand, we do have different needs. :)
I was like Ha?!? When you said "All of this adds so much horse power" hahaha. Kidding aside, though it kinda low in power, it really look so good! saka exempted ka pa sa coding.
I think the centre tunnel need some upgrading as I think it is too bland compare to other brands . I also think the engine is under power for the size of the vehicle and lastly 2 colours to offer is consider too selfish from Toyota compare from he colours being offered to other regions. Should these features would be able to be addressed if the vehicle would have some facelifts overtime then I think the car would be more competitive in my opinion.
I just bought one and about to sell the car after driving it for 200kms. The fuel consumption is advertised as 6,8 liters per 100 km, however, it's running at 9 liters per 100 kms ☹️
Oh no not a Chinese car. Generally speaking, the dealers claim that there are parts available but in reality you have to wait several months for them to secure the parts. I hv spoken to several Chinese car owners who bought Chinese cars and parts availabilty is always the issue.
Go with the BYD sealion 6 since toyota will be using BYD’s batteries in there cars sooner.. so now those super fanboy will hush their mouth since theire fave brand will collaborate with chinese market..also the parts availability is an old saying paso na yan..dami ngang toyota na nasa casa ilang buwan na walang parts nag re2klamo na ung iba inaabot na ng months kung readily ung parts edi sana walang complaint..mag research din pag may time sympre dedepensahan yan ng mga T-fanboys di papatalo kahit alam nila sa sarili na may mali. Di puro no to chinese cars or other brands niloloko nlang kayo ng toyota sa mga sasakyan nila kasi mindset ng pinoy takot sa pag babago stuck sa comfort zone ika nga.. at nakakatawa pa yung sasabihin daming parts kahit saan yes granted marami tlaga kasi sila na sa market na for many years..ikaw kaya na bago lang sa market sympre it takes time for the company to gain momentum makakahabol din gaya ng Korean cars dati ganyan din sinabi ng karamihan ngayon asan na sila they are on top par with the jap and euro cars..not to mention american cars din na habol na nila. Kaya wag kayong mag yabang na maraming parts at reliable kasi pag kinalas yung loob ng kotse nyo damin made in china na parts diyan hndi JDM na pinag yayabang lagi ng mga fanatic sa brand..wag mag pakabulag kahit niloloko na kayo pikit mata parin karamihan sasabihin pa about WPS buti nga watercanon lang yung sa kanila eh ung japanese brand na pinag tatanggol nila pumatay at nag abuso ng mga kababaihan na pinoy pinay nung araw..wag mag paka hypocrite mga people..🙇🙇♂️(toyota CEO) we cheated in many ways just google us.✌️ also habol ko lang dami nilang Recalls in many countries.
@@punongacacia5162 Agree with this, buy only Chinese car if: 1) you have a SPARE car 2) you want to try the new car tech (especially BYD sealion which is a PHEV)
This car is ridiculous. The max output is the same as city HB Jazz or mazda 2 😂 no wonder it's fuel efficient (with battery cost to replace) it's just as efficient as 1.5L na. But the price is CX-5 teritory which already use Multi Link suspension while this is Torsion Beam. The US and Europe version actually is good because it's Zenix engine. This 1.8 hybrid must be a joke from Toyota. Great car with bad pricing, if for this price they put 2.0 Hybrid then it is just at the right price
Typical Toyota formula. Underpowered engine, CVT transmission, Plastic interiors, Overpriced and on top of that is nowhere near the 90s Toyota TRUE DURABILITY and Reliability. Only PARTS availability is making this modern Toyotas especially Daihatsus run longer. Easy replacement parts for the NOT as durable parts as its used to be. Funny Enough Pinoys still praise it despite Toyota MILKING their hard earned money. Their NCAP safety rating is also a big unknown (if its still accurate or not).
The regular Corolla Cross HEV looks more futuristic dare I say
Mine’s arriving this week after months of waiting since its release!
Congratulations! Enjoy your new car!
Owner here (1yr now) You will not regret it :D congratulations!
Aw bad news. We are expecting recalls from toyota's corolla cross this coming 2 week of november

After seeing one struggle so much to overtake a fully loaded L300 in Ligaya Drive the other day, you'd wish they put more power in this "GR" trim.
As usual with toyota. Grs is mostly a body kit, with minimal "racing" upgrades.

This front is so much better. It should be standard.
nice sir vince, now i can visualize myself in that car coz im big guy too hehe
how is the riding comfort? stiffer or more comfortable with grs shocks?
I love the review! Mitsubishi Trition Athlete review please but I want Vince to review it no else please ❤
A great no nonsense review.
@@Tupsx57 - buy a Chinese car. Ops! Sorry…
Needs to have a 2.4 engine
Then get the rav4 instead.
Problema sainyo dami nyong reklamo mga wala naman kayong pambili.
Then get the rav4 instead
city roads in Philippines, is it that bumpy?
This car and subaru cross trek, which one drive better my friend?
Lithium Iron / Ferrous Phosphate (LIP or LFP),
are currently the best, energy dense batteries
When this car will come to europe market please?
So how about the Nissan Kicks E Power?
geely cool Ray or this one?
waiting for the V spec review.
I like the GR sport
Go for the CRV V variant
When's the V?
Hyundai Tucson Hybrid next review please

Next Innova top of the line
What’s the reason to go for this rather than innova hybrid at the same price??
Go for innova diesel. You can never go wrong with it.
Not all would want a bigger car.. imagine youre single, and young.. why would you even think of buying an ugly looking zenix?

19:30 going to my home town BAESA ❤😁👌🏾
Im getting one
Gaano po katagal ang waiting time para sa unit na to? Do dealers accept cash payments?
Sure dealers except cash in full.
Corolla cross grs or Hrv rs?
At least GR put in a little better suspension… I think. TRD used to sell stickers and mags only.
I was like Ha?!? When you said "All of this adds so much horse power" hahaha. Kidding aside, though it kinda low in power, it really look so good! saka exempted ka pa sa coding.
Owner here. For me power is sufficient, it can deliver power if needed.

I’ll choose the base crosstrek than this.

Nice but expensive.... I think is better to get a camry sport.
Overpriced!
All vehicles in Ph are overpriced due to our ridicolous taxes. But Toyota and Honda both take the cake in terms of overpricing.
Blame the TRAIN LAW
What would be the appropriate price for it?
Go to EV
I agree overpriced and still underpowered
toyota be like, what ever we release, they'll buy it anyway 😂
I want this model in USA dammit toyota 😢
Buy in PH and ship to US
I liked it when u say my chemical colors lol
M20 corolla cross when?
When you have bought majority stake in toyota and you get to call the shots
Overpriced for those who cannot afford to buy it. Peace po…❤
PS only 98..? At 1.9 million... I am gong for the KIA SONET PS 113 and a lot less pesos

I go tucson hybrid much better.

as always toyota cheaping out on car specs but charges you a premium. MONEY PIT
I prefer Innova at that price.

Go for the Zenix Hybrid
Even our 2025 model here in the US is pretty ugly. You guys Toyota Cross is wayyyy better looking...
It isn’t giving.
Kung di mo hanap ang aesthetics mag V variant ka nalang
No point in buying this underpowered so called sports model. Probably slower than the standard car
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇😇😎😎
Kalokohan sa mahal!
id rather go with mg 3 hybrid
With that price ill look for alternatives or maybe spend a bit more and get the tucson hybrid.
Then get the tucson. For sure that car will outlast this toyota. Lots of old tucsons still running unlike the toyotas.
Exhaust looks crappie 😢
Yhooo very expensive
GR badge but CVT, lmfao!
Key pub made of cheap plastic 😂
that 12v battery is expensive!!!
Overpriced !!!
GR-S is so pretentious. It looks aggressive but it's actually a pretty shitty vehicle.
I would rather get cx 30 at the same price
Cx-30 no upgrade
