Toyota Corolla Cross 2024: A Sleek and Modern Upgrade Coming to Vietnam
Toyota Corolla Cross 2024 is getting a facelift that promises to make the competition tough for the CX-30. The new model showcases an updated exterior, enhanced interior features, and added safety functions.
A Fresh Look and Improved Safety
The most significant changes on the Toyota Corolla Cross 2024 are focused on the front of the vehicle. In Southeast Asia, the grille has been completely redesigned, featuring a sleek 3D honeycomb pattern that resembles the Lexus RX. The new LED Crystalized headlights with integrated turn signals also resemble those found in Lexus models. The Toyota logo sits on a horizontal strip above the front hood, creating a seamless design. The addition of air intake vents adds a sportier touch to the overall look.
The side and rear of the vehicle have undergone minimal changes. The 18-inch wheels remain, but with a new two-tone scratch design. The taillights have also been updated to enhance the aesthetic appeal.
Interior Upgrades and Advanced Features
Inside, the Toyota Corolla Cross 2024 offers several updates. It now comes equipped with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Other notable interior features include bold red upholstery, panoramic sunroof with electric sunshade, USB-C ports, wireless charging pad, dual-zone climate control, LED interior lighting, and illuminated power window switches.
The most exciting change in the Toyota Corolla Cross 2024 is the introduction of electronic parking brake and auto hold function, a feature that many have been eagerly anticipating.
Enhanced Safety Features
The Toyota Corolla Cross 2024 has also received upgrades in terms of safety. It now includes automatic parking brake, improved 360-degree camera system (with transparent mode and enhanced visibility at night), enhanced intelligent cruise control (operational at all speeds), and additional sensors (4 front and 4 rear).
Engine Choices
Contrary to expectations, Toyota has decided to retain the same engine options for the Corolla Cross 2024 in the Southeast Asian market, including Vietnam. The standard 1.8 Sport Plus version will continue to feature the Dual VVT-i 1.8L engine with 138 horsepower and 177 Nm of torque paired with a CVT gearbox.
The HEV Premium, HEV Premium Luxury, and GR Sport versions will come with a combination of a 97 horsepower engine and an electric motor (71 horsepower) for a total output of 120 horsepower. This represents an improvement in electric motor power compared to the current version available in Vietnam. Both versions will have front-wheel drive.
Pricing and Availability
The Toyota Corolla Cross 2024 is already available in Thailand with four different versions. Prices start at 999,000 baht (approximately 694 million Vietnamese dong).
In Vietnam, the first images of the Toyota Corolla Cross 2024 have been circulating on social media, indicating that the vehicle is set to launch in May. The V and Hybrid versions will be available, with the standard G version being discontinued. The current prices for the V and HEV versions are 860 million and 955 million Vietnamese dong, respectively. It is expected that the Toyota Corolla Cross 2024 will maintain these price points.
