The Hiace also saw an increase in price for all of its variants

Toyota Philippine also didn’t release anything with regards to the reasoning behind these price increases. Like Kia Philippine’s own price hikes, Toyota also rolled out these new prices rather quietly on the official website.

If we had to hazard a guess though, these may have been brought about as Toyota’s effort to adjust to the current state of supply and demand for these vehicles. Maybe, these we’re also decided upon to adjust to inflation, import taxes, local taxes, or some other factor.

Currently, there are two available variants for the Corolla Cross. The entry-level variant is the Corolla Cross G 1.8 CVT and it has a price tag of Php 1,318,000. The top-spec model meanwhile is the Corolla Cross Hybrid V 1.8 CVT, which can be had for Php 1,680,000. Later in 2023, Toyota PH then added the Corolla Cross GR-S, which is priced at Php 1,844,000.

The Philippine-spec Corolla Cross has two available engine options. For the G-trim, it uses a 1.8-liter inline-4 gasoline engine that can produce up to 138 horsepower and 172 Nm of torque. The V-trim and GR-S in turn both use a 1.8-liter hybrid engine capable of making up to 120 horsepower and 142 Nm of torque. All variants are front-wheel-drive, and all use a continuously variable transmission.

Size-wise, the Toyota Corolla Cross measures 4,460mm in length, 1,825mm in width, and 1,620mm in height. It also has a wheelbase length of 2,640mm, and a ground clearance of 161 mm.
