Toyota’s first locally produced hybrid electric vehicle, the Corolla Cross, has been making waves since its introduction in Pakistan. With its blend of fuel efficiency, advanced safety features, and spacious design, it’s no surprise that customers are raving about their driving experiences. Here’s what four Corolla Cross owners have to say about their journey with
Toyota’s innovative family SUV.
Usman Ali Bhatti (CEO of Hearing Pro): “Feature-Packed and Family-Friendly”
For Usman Ali Bhatti, the Corolla Cross was an obvious choice when considering a car that balances performance with practicality. “Feature-wise, this car is better than others in its class, and it’s highly fuel-efficient,” he says. As someone who values both aesthetics and functionality, Usman appreciates the colour combination of the interior and exterior.
But what truly stands out for him is the car’s spacious design. “It’s a pure family car with ample space in the back, perfect for long trips or just city driving,” he adds. Whether it’s navigating through city streets or cruising on highways, Usman highlights how the Corolla Cross transitions smoothly across various terrains, making it a reliable family vehicle that offers a superb driving experience.
Saima Shabbir (Journalist at Al Jazeera News): “Fuel Efficiency That Matters”
As a journalist who drives 80-100 kilometers daily, fuel efficiency is of utmost importance to Saima Shabbir. “I bought the Corolla Cross because of its fuel efficiency,” she shares. The hybrid engine allows Saima to save on fuel costs, a feature she truly values in a time of rising fuel prices.
The Corolla Cross also delivers on its promise of a smooth and enjoyable drive. “Within the city, the car has great mileage, and the ride is so smooth it feels great driving it every day,” Saima says. For city dwellers who clock long daily drives, the Corolla Cross is a game-changer, making it an ideal companion for urban environments.
Yasir (Manager Digital Channels at Jazz): “Hybrid Efficiency with Space and Comfort”
Yasir, like many others, was drawn to the Corolla Cross for its renowned fuel efficiency. “With fuel prices being so high, the hybrid option was very appealing,” he explains. However, it’s not just the hybrid technology that impressed him—Yasir also appreciates the spacious interior and good ground clearance, both of which add to the vehicle’s practicality for family and long-distance driving.
One standout feature for Yasir is the 6-year warranty on the hybrid battery. “It gives me comfort and satisfaction knowing the vehicle is backed by Toyota’s comprehensive warranty,” he notes, highlighting another aspect of the Corolla Cross that resonates with Pakistani families looking for durability and long-term value.
Fahad Hassan (Telecom Solution Consultant – MEA Markets): “Durability and Safety Combined”
For Fahad Hassan, two words come to mind when talking about the Corolla Cross: durability and aftersales service. “When I was buying the Corolla Cross, I was looking for a car that would last and be backed by excellent aftersales support,” he recalls.
He’s also impressed with the safety features, which include 7 SRS airbags, parking sensors, and Vehicle Stability Control (VSC). “Safety is important, especially when driving with family, and the Corolla Cross delivers on that front,” Fahad adds. He also loves the car’s Daytime Running Lights (DRLs), adding a sleek, modern touch to the vehicle’s exterior design.
