Corolla Cross Expert Review
Corolla Cross Ride & Handling
The Corolla Cross provides a smooth riding experience. Its suspensions perform well, absorbing all kinds of shocks and making the ride a pleasant experience. The car is easy to handle and does not have body roll. On the downside, the engine seems underpowered which can be felt at high speeds.
Corolla Cross Maintenance
Like other Toyota cars, Corolla Cross does not need frequent maintenance sessions. Its auto parts are not easily available as it is not exclusively locally assembled in Pakistan.
