I see a lot of comment going for the Sealion. I get their point, but for a buyer like me, im paying for peace of mind. Yes the Sealion is really tempting, but some of its features (as I read from long time users abroad), are glitchy, ie collision mitigation braking suddenly because the vehicle is thinking you are ramming the vehicle ahead, esp when overtaking on provincial roads. The Corolla Cross hybrid has been around for quite some time already and the parts are readily available. Yes the Sealion price is cheap, but how sure are you with the after sales? How long will the parts come in? I’d buy the Sealion maybe in 5 yrs, after it has proven itself in the local market. For now, i’ll go with the Corolla Cross.
Agree with you. That's why I went with the G variant Maybe will consider BYD in choosing my next car only after it proves itself for more years to come
As the number 1 EV automaker in the world, i dont think byd will go bankrupt anytime soon. Also, note that toyota asked for byds help to improve its hybrid system because byds tech is vastly superior than toyotas
We have both and the sealion is superior in every way. The cross actually feels way cheaper than the byd. To whoever is saying its luxurious is dreaming 😅@tipsy113
Great vide as always, Vince and team. This cross is an absolute banger for new buyers of hybrid vehicles. This is surely better than the yaris cross which is made by daihatsu.
If you gonna get the GRS, would it be better to get the Zenix Q instead? Same 1.9M but you get 7 seater, more powerful, also got Toyota sense plus same hybrid car?
@@gonz101 paki tingin na lang sa website ng Toyota bago kayo mag commment! 7 seater yan! Mas comfortably nga lang pag 6 lang. At tsaka mas malakas naman ng di hamak tong Zenix. 😂😂😂
would you rather get a corolla cross grs over a base trim rav4? because at that point for buyers that can afford that price range, the difference is quite negligible

There’s a reason why BYD requires expensive premium fuel and that is because of reliability concerns. Toyota only needs regular unleaded. And discounting the plugin charging range, Toyota’s Synergy Drive drinks LESS fuel than the BYD. So all in all you’re getting more value for the BYD but you’re saving more money with the Toyota. If you are buying only one car or if you drive long distances, go with the Toyota. If you’re getting a second or third car and drives short distances the BYD is the better choice.
I looked up some videos of the corolla cross hybrid models from the US and I think Australia and on the blank panels you’ve mentioned, there are some heater options/buttons there. Maybe based dun yung interior and na carry over lang sa PH models.
@@paoloochangco6072Well, since Toyota just announced that they will use the BYD DM-I drivetrain in THEIR cars, they seem to be pretty convinced of it's quality
they reduced the combined power from 140 HP (pre facelift version) to 122 HP (this face lift version ) !! why ?? exactly the power of the motor was reduced form 95 HP to 72 HP and also changed the battery type from Li-Ion to NiMH 😞
@@aroundmeph1145 yeah, it would depend on the buyer. For me, BYD has a good enough track record. They even lead the industry when it comes to battery R&D and tech. Even Tesla gets their new batteries from them. No wonder the Ayalas decided to handle their brand in the PH.

For people debating between this and the byd sealion. Keep in mind that toyota asked BYDs help to improve its hybrid system. Toyota had its share of hybrid hiccups. byd has the superior system, is the number 1 EV auto maker in the world surpassing tesla and has a better interior as well. A toyota is a toyota but remember that toyota was once a startup and had to build its name, every manufacturer starts from the bottom. A plugin hybrid vs a non plugin. 100 km all electric mileage is very beneficial for city dwellers, you practically wouldn't need to gas up for months if its purely city driving.
Toyota’s only asking for the PHEV tech. Toyota’s Synergy drive is more superior without using premium fuel. This is literally more efficient than the sealion. The only reason why the Sealion gets more miles is because of the huge chargeable battery.
@@MAP87PA unless you travel more than 100 kms a day or for every trip or you dont charge your battery, i dont see the cross beating the sealion since it's a plugin. the upcoming corolla will be using byds tech and some bevs of toyota will use byds blade tech batteries. the writing is on the wall. the avg distance people travel in manila is around 10-20kms each day. factor in the traffic and a buffer room of another 10-20kms and you still have some room to spare.
Already on the International market BYD is fast becoming a serious cause of concern for the Legacy Automakers such as Toyota and Honda as BYD is now eating steadily into their market shares. Case in point, Honda just recently decided to close down as early as 2025 its internal combustion engine auto factory in Ayutthaya , Thailand due to ferocious competition from BYD in that country. Chinese automobile manufacturers because they have established their own supply chains, are able to do away with additional cost from doing business with outside suppliers and middlemen in the production of automobiles. In contrasts, the Legacy automakers because they do not have their own supply chains are forced to outsource for most of what is needed for automobile production which is why they cannot effectively compete against the juggernaut from China known as BYD. And BYD is no longer a push over. In fact Toyota has plans on the drawing board to adapt BYD's hybrid technology for the foreseeable future of its models to come.
BYD Sealion is gonna eat this for lunch. Toyota will also be using BYD batteries soon, so the reliability angle is kind of moot. I do wish japanese cars would do better to compete in terms of pricing/features though.
But you're not just gonna drive and ride on the battery alone, are you? If we're going to compare a vehicle's "reliability" based on their battery alone why not use some other random part as a measure of their reliability. A point to consider when arguing about reliability is the repairability and the availability of parts, which Toyota and the other Japanese makers already have in their favor. Besides, toyota has introduced hybrid tech in their vehicles as early as **checks google** 1997 on their prius.
@@X7880-t3n point taken. Further down the line though if these newer (and not just chinese) brands prove themselves on reliability and parts servicing, legacy automakers will really have to push to compete.
Toyota cheaped-out with the high voltage NIMH battery. This is an older tech which is inferior to Li-ion when it comes to reliability and power delivery. Hybrid cars should be at least Li-ion or the better Lifepo4.
Sad. mukang cheap pa din loob. Less innovations. BYD Sealion is much better buy than this one in terms of innovation. Ayaw na sana talaga mag support ng china cars kaso pag icocompare kasi talaga ung gastos mo, mas mganda at sulit features dun.
Engine lang naman ang labanan nyan sir. You'll outgrow all the tech like 360 cams and all but Toyota's engines are still far superior than the chinese counterparts. I'd say GAC is more reliable than BYD when it comes to engine.
If i need a battery i will buy BYD, if i need a car i will buy toyota. So what do you really need? If you want all the nice things you can get the corolla cross grs. I even think sealion 6 is a bad choice when selecting BYD, dolphin or atto is better. Will you trust a byd car with an engine?😊
Not really. There are a few Corolla Cross examples in Australia that have more than 200k kms in mileage without encountering any major issues. I kinda doubt that Chinese cars would even make 100k kms.
