According to Thai media reports, it is expected that the Toyota Corolla Cross facelift for the ASEAN market will receive similar updates to the North American and Japanese versions. This suggests that the Corolla Cross facelift crossover will feature a significantly different front-end design.
Additionally, taking cues from the US and Japanese versions, we can anticipate interior updates in the ASEAN version of the Corolla Cross facelift. These updates may include a digital instrument cluster with a higher resolution screen and an electronic parking brake, which are notable features.
Despite the upcoming changes, the powertrain options for the Corolla Cross facelift will remain the same as the current version. This means that the car will still be available with a 1.8L petrol engine and a 1.8L hybrid engine. However, there are also rumors swirling about the introduction of a new 2.0L hybrid engine specifically for the ASEAN version of the Corolla Cross facelift.
While it remains uncertain whether the Toyota Corolla Cross facelift will debut in the ASEAN market early next year with the rumored upgrades, it is necessary for the Corolla Cross to undergo improvements and changes to maintain its competitive edge in the urban SUV segment.
