Toyota Corolla Cross XG10 Facelift

Verdict

Toyota Corolla Cross XG10 and Toyota Corolla Cross XG10 Facelift use the same 138 hp/172 Nm 1.8-litre petrol CVT, front-wheel-drive layout, 1,405 kg kerb weight and 440-litre boot, so there is no performance or space upgrade. At RM123,000 versus RM133,800, the facelift puts the gap into safety and daily-use kit: autonomous braking, steering correction, adaptive cruise, a 10.1-inch screen and 360-degree camera. The older XG10 counters with a 55-litre tank against 47 litres. Choose on assistance features rather than driveline.

XG10

Pick the Toyota Corolla Cross XG10 if a RM10,800 lower entry cost and its larger 55-litre fuel tank matter more than newer driver-assistance kit.

XG10 Facelift

Pick the Toyota Corolla Cross XG10 Facelift if you want autonomous braking, adaptive cruise and a 360-degree camera with the same petrol powertrain.
