Earlier last week, the all-new Corolla Cross Hybrid Electric was released by Indus Motor Company in Pakistan. Dubbed as the first locally manufactured hybrid electric vehicle of Pakistan, the car is taking over the market by storm with its competitive pricing – PKR 9,399,000 for Mid-Level category and PKR 9,849,000 for its high-end category.

Ali Asghar Jamali, CEO of Indus Motor Company, recently said that over 50% of Corolla Cross’s value comes from localized parts, which makes it unique among other assembled hybrids in the country. This makes it a unique proposition for IMC, also using the 4th Generation Toyota Hybrid Electric Technology.

4th Gen Toyota Hybrid Electric Technology 

This technology is based on the Series Parallel Hybrid System and has powertrain components that work in harmony and eliminate many of the components found in a conventional powertrain. Fewer moving parts mean less wear and tear, fewer parts to replace, and lower maintenance costs. This vehicle is designed to build power in a smooth, linear fashion that’s effortless, drama-free, and easy to modulate. Also, it provides exceptional fuel economy, lower ownership costs, and a quiet cabin experience.

For a recap, here are major options offered for the exterior, interior, performance, and safety of the new Corolla Cross HEV.

Exterior 

Experience sheer grace as the Corolla Cross boasts Bi Beam LED Headlamps, a Moonroof for that touch of luxury, Retractable Mirrors for sleekness, Roof Rails for a sporty vibe, and Smart Entry for added convenience. The streets will light up as this beauty glides through.

Interior

Step into a realm of comfort with Dual Zone Auto Climate Control, a Powered Seat for that personalized touch, a Push Start System for seamless ignition, Terra Rossa Leather Seats exuding luxury, and a 9-inch floating display to elevate your driving experience.

 Performance

The Corolla Cross doesn’t just look good; it performs exceptionally. With a Hybrid Powertrain under the hood and versatile Drive Modes (EV, ECO, and Power), this CSUV promises an exhilarating ride. The Powered + Kick Sensor Luggage Opener, TRC & VSC, and Hill Start Assist add the perfect blend of power and control.

Safety 

Safety takes center stage with 7 SRS Airbags, a Blind Spot Monitor, a Clearance Sonar, RCTA, ABS + EBD + BA, and Auto Rain Sensors—an ensemble of features ensuring a secure and worry-free journey.
