Toyota Suddenly Launches More Affordable Corolla Cross Petrol in Pakistan

Indus Motor Company( IMC) has taken a significant step in diversifying its vehicle immolations by launching the petrol variant of its crossover SUV, the Corolla Cross. Available in two performances, the 1.8 x and the 1.8, this move marks a departure from the company’s former focus on mongrel models. The advertisement of the new models was made momentarily, adding a fresh element to IMC’s lineup following the preface of the locally assembled mongrel Corolla Cross in Pakistan in December 2023.

Dimensional and Mechanical Specifications

Despite the shift to a non-hybrid powertrain, the petrol Corolla Cross maintains the dimensions of its predecessor, measuring 4460mm in length, 1825mm in width, and 1620mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2640mm and ground clearance of 161mm. Under the bonnet, both variants are powered by a 2ZR-FE 1798cc gasoline engine capable of producing 138hp at 6400 RPMs and 172 Nm of torque at 4000 RPMs, paired with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT).

Exterior and Interior Features

The Corolla Cross showcases its ultramodern design through 17-inch amalgamation skirtings with 215/ 60/ R17 tyres. The high-end 1.8 x variant features advanced LED headlights, LED boscage lights, and LED fog lights, distinguishing it from the base model, which is equipped with halogen lights and lacks fog lights.

Both models come with electric side glasses with turn signals and a wolf fin antenna, among other features. Inside, the 1.8 x variant offers enhanced comfort with binary-zone climate control, hindered AC reflections, and a leather steering wheel. The base model provides a single-zone climate control and a urethane steering wheel, icing a comfortable lift. Both variants are equipped with safety features similar as the Anti-Lock Braking System( ABS), exigency Brakeforce Distribution( EBD), and seven airbags.
