Corolla Cross IMHO is a weird misfit. It does not have TNGA-C rear multi-link suspension and uses very simple torsion beam - which seems to be taken from GA-B.

It is a cheap to built car for ASEAN market similar to how VIOS was created.

Corolla Cross is definitely cheap to build. 

Corolla Cross drivetrain is same as Corolla 1.8L

Since you mentioned Vios, it is also another cheap build that shares the same platform as Axio, Sienta.

Oops ... back with dotter and CO to find out halogen headlights and not LED which is a bit of a let down though not a showstopper.

Alternative on single available Fit Hybrid in ok red for dotter at 90k from PI without any interest to down price is a push for the Yaris Cross from BM.

With apology and cheers.

Richard

Thanks for the info! 
 

Your daughter still deciding Ma? 
Btw pricing is $99888, heard the price will increase after launch.

Are you saying Toyota Factory In Thailand & Japan runs on a different standard?

Corolla Cross runs on the same TNGA-C platform as Corolla sold by PI.

Go check out Borneo sienta vs PI sienta. Current models made in Indonesia and Japan respectively.

increase? the PI just waiting for it. If they don't, all PI holding to their stock and can't sell. BM is very smart now. They may continue to hold low price and kill all PI hope, so No PI dare to bring in Toyota popular model anymore. BM can eat all the Toyota share. 

It started all the way to "wish" era.

Now they even have the harrier. Haha

And since BM decided not to bring in the Corolla Cross, any PI wants to bring it in?? Doubt so as PI like the use the “made in Japan” tagline ever so often.

Hi inlinesix,

Not different standard but different quality level .. I am in Development and Quality in manufacturing.

Cheers.

Hi 2wiremodem,

Unfortunately, we worked it out and not feasible for her to own it especially since just back after her nursing degree and looking for job.

Insurance (3k), road tax, petrol and carpark estimated to be 800-900 which means hard for her to save $ in the eventuality of marriage and hdb reno ... ... quite sensible unlike her old man with wishful thinking to help her start her career and life. Had also wanted to reward her for the effort in the last 4 yrs, concern on needed shift work as well as she had been driving in uni .. 1 yr old 2.5 camry at 19k some 4 yrs ago.

Guess I forgot how it is to be starting out and she can take either one of the 2 family cars when needed especially I work from home now and may retire in the next few years. 

Cheers.

Richard

Hi tOyOta,

This Yaris cross from BM also with rear torsion beam unlike AWD version that uniquely have rear multi-link.

The halogen headlight is a bit of a let down else great for single, youngsters or young family cos really a 4 seater.

Cheers.

Thanks.

It is still stigma for Singaporean to own ASEAN car.

Mind you, not everyone can afford to own 2nd or 3rd car.

Totally agree.

Car TCO is at least 20k per year in costs down the drain. That money better for her to save up for future. Grab/Public/Family car is probably at most 5k PA.

Hi,

Cos we all know MIJ and workmanship has its value .... MIJ washing machine is at least 50% more than those even from our bolehland.

Cheers.

Richard

Also, the other factor is the "cost" factor. If 1 is made in Japan and the other made in Thai, both selling for same price at similar spec, most will go for Japan made coz they will feel less ripped off. 😁
