In particular, sound insulation materials, hard plastic and not the most reliable variator
Author of the popular channel «Club Service» Ilya Sviridov got to the fairly fresh Toyota Corolla Cross crossover to, as usual, disassemble and evaluate the car from the inside.
The car was evaluated without a hybrid power plant with front-wheel drive, a two-liter naturally aspirated engine and a CVT. Such a car in Russia costs from 3.3 million rubles.
The author of the review included a modern engine, a solid body with powerful transverse reinforcements on the floor and roof, as well as the presence of curtain airbags as the advantages of the car. They also praised the chassis, cast iron steering knuckles, and removable ball joints.
At the same time, the car also has disadvantages. This includes a variator, which, according to the author, has an average reserve of 170-250 thousand km, poor-quality application of sealant, like on not the best Chinese cars, hard plastic in the cabin and felt as a noise-insulating material.
