Toyota Corolla Cross 1.8V 2022 / Genting Hillclimb / All The Way To The Top / YS Khong Driving

- Somehow we never took the Corolla Cross V spec up the mountain before this - We've taken the G spec, but only to Goh Tong Jaya, and we have also taken the Cross hybrid up to the top, and this time, we managed to get a Cross V spec, and here is the video.
The thing that surprised me very much is the stability and handling characteristics of the Cross 1.8V - perhaps it is the weight distribution, but I am sure the 18-inch wheels also did a lot. The Cross G was already great, but this time the V excelled.
It does not have the power of the HR-V turbo, but it certainly can give it a run for the money due to its very good handling.

Coolest youtube channel I’ve been into. Pure satisfaction. Long live uncle ❤
Very entertaining to watch you drive uncle. I can feel the thrill when you're cornering and i get cold and sweaty feet just from watching. The car is really stylish and elegant. I really prioritise comfort overall and hopefully next year I'll be the owner of this if God wills it. This video deserved a like and surely will recommend your channel to other people.
Thank you for watching and thanks for your support
Very satisfying to see Uncle Khong driving.
Uncle, you are the real Initial D! Amazing driving skill 🎉. Now I decided to buy this car. I was thinking of buying either Cross Hybrid or Altis but I confirmed with your video that this car is also good enough. I will buy Hybrid Cross! Thanks for your very informative video! Arigatou
Simply awesome! Great rally driving uphill in a standard suv... The car handles very well.😄
Wow Uncle... You're awesome. Was thinking gonna get this baby soon.
Tks Uncle Kong for the review. Previously I was not too convinced wt 1.8 HP. I was in the opinion that it might be a bit under power. Well It doesn’t look too bad here.
Reaching my 6m service with my Cross 1.8V soon - totally agreed on handling. Doesn’t feel underpowered to be honest (but definitely doesn’t feel powerful either).
And 100% agreed the horn sounds terrible hahaha
holy smokes that is awesome driving
Wow the cvt droning sound not as bad as on the Hrv v spec, this one was nice and accurate downshifts, love the engine sound as well, seems that y're very happy how the car handles corners 😄👌🏻
Hahaha, yes, the sound suppression is better, and actually I am very impressed with how it handles.
Great driving uncle YS. U hv tested the Cross like no other and this really can influence people to buy Cross looking at the good handling
Seems , like water surface, smooth n quite ,,nice car
Superb driving sifu. ❤
I buy this Vspec car since u drive Gspec uphill Genting last year.. Tq Sifu🤙🏿
hebatlaa uncle bawa kete, seram saya, uncle cekap giler, tambah lagi kereta Toyota Cross 1.8V saya Sabtu ni dapat, tak sabar nak drive, bila tengok uncle, bersemangat amat.
Tahniah! Tunggu lama?
This car is nice for daily and weekend drive.
Yes, my thoughts exactly after driving it around for a few days.
Awesome 👍
sir you inspire me when i grow up i wanna be like you or even better
🙂
May your wish come true
Thank you for the comment Uncle Khong.The tips useful for comparison for each one advantages and to understanding the right decision to chosen🙏
Glad it was helpful!
Cara pegang stering sama macam dalam kelas DDT.. terbaik!
very nice handling and engine performance uphill
Yes Uncle... I also think like that... Malaysia they don't find Road Hogging but the law is there... A lot of stupid driver drives at the right lane around 90km/h during long weekend... I had been travelling regularly so I always see them creating a long qué behind while the front of them is a few plane length clear...
Opppss typo haha... Is Fine...
good drive.
YS, we need a toyota veloz driving or going up genting video, thx.
Stay tuned.
5.30 you are 100% right. Drive slowly and always stay in the right lane. Blocking everbody.
Hi uncle... quick Q... did u floored the throttle when u going uphill?
Uncle Kong, do u feel that the steering and accelerator pedal has radiating vibration more apparent when u are on rough tar road surfaces? Its a combination of the engine and the road surface radiating vibration. I am a Cross V owner.
It is part of the road feedback, but if it is too excessive, I suggest you check your tyre pressures - may be too high.
@@YSKhongDriving noted. Will try check the pressure again. TQVM Uncle Khong
Good review. One question though should 18" wheels allow for better handling and stability but less comfortable ride than 17" as the profile is lower on the 18"?
The profile is still good enough to allow a good ride. On the firm side of comfortable.
Uncle which engine power do you prefer if same day driving to Genting. 1.5TGDI or toyota cross 1.8?
Depends on what I want to do on that day.
if both subaru xv and cross were just FWD, would you choose the Cross or XV? I believe in some countries, they have the AWD version of the Cross, thanks for any feedback
I would take the Cross as it is newer in design.
Uncle can advise me which one should I choose between V and hybrid?.My priorities is ride and handling. Is any different between them?
Both the V and hybrid handle well. If you do a lot of long distance outstation drive, the V would be more suitable. For city driving the hybrid would be reslly good for saving fuel.
@@YSKhongDriving sorry Uncle, but why u said V is better for longer outstation drive than hybrid? Pls enlighten us. Tq Sir
Which is the best in term of comfortable and Handling? Corolla Cross 1.8 V vs Subaru XV vs Mazda CX30 (CKD) vs Honda Hrv V spec
I will need a complete thesis, but they are all very close. Just buy the one you like the most
seems like the CVT whine is not that bad despite the RPM is near redline most of the time, this is normal CVT and not the Direct Shift CVT right?
Normal CVT. And yes, they have done a very good job in tuning it.
Can you please comment on the 1.8V model fuel consumption compare to HRV per 100km? Also please share the vios/city per 100km.
We have the videos on our channel.
Was it in sports mode? the responsiveness of the shifting and higher revs would indicate so. In Eco, it would probably not go that high revs in each gear?
It will, but will be a bit slower
Hoping uncle drive cross GR sport version….
i am comparing Proton X90 Executive and Cross G, same price at rm130k. which one better for long term? Priority is comfort over others. Cross rear seat big enough for 3 adults? i have an old camry 2005 ACV30, which is spacious enough.
X90 has more space and a third row of seats.
No chance to rest drive the Corolla Cross GR Sport? This one gets sports tuned suspension, Sports tuned steering and performance bracing. I wonder how does it compare to the normal hybrid version. There are comments on the light steering of the Cross which lacks feel and accuracy. Does the steering of the Cross feels good or it lacks road feedback or loose and not very accurate?
Actually it feels good. If it feels strange, it could be wrong alignment or tyre pressures.
If you wish to test drive with view to purchase, we can arrange. Plse whatsapp 0163350609
Uncle, when you are going to test the GR Corolla Cross with improved handling and tuned suspension?
When we can get our hands on one.
I bet when Uncle was young, he will definitely say yes if Aunt said "Sanggupkah engkau berenang dalam lautan api untukku?"
Hello uncle, do you use M gear when climbing the Genting Hill?
Depends on my mood.
Hello uncle, which one better cross or sedan version?Always think that sedan more spacious and better handling than cross/suv. Tq
Cross would have more head room and boot space. Sedan will handle better. So it depends on whar you need more.
Hai sir. Want to ask which suv is better subaru xv, toyota cross, x50, x70 or hrv?
Depends on what you want out of your SUV. The X70 is the biggest, while the XV has SAWD. The HRV has the looks, while the Cross is the most reliable
Can’t imagine if I was sitting on the passenger seat while u drive the car Uncle, I’d be crying on every corner😂😂😂
Screaming helps to open up your lungs and allow more air in. Helps you to breathe, lol.
Sifu YS,
In term of handling, stability, road gripping, is this better than Subaru XV or Forester?
Pls advice.
Thank you
They are built on the same platform
Sifu@@YSKhongDriving , meaning the Corolla Cross 2WD handle as same as Subaru AWD, all wheel drive?
Hello uncle, which one did you enjoyed the driving more? Corolla cross hybrid or corolla cross V?
In the city, the hybrid, on the mountain, tbe V
i wanna watch uncle drive kancil 660 uphill. gonna be fun. haha
I believe so too. Problem is finding one that wont melt when we go hot.
Between Subaru xv and Toyota cross, which would you recommend ?
For grip, it is Subaru. For reliability, Toyota.
Owesome driving skill..👏👏👏
Which one is better, Honda HRV-S 1.5 turbo or Corolla Cross 1.8?????
If you want power go for the HRV turbo. If you want reliability, and good fuel economy, go for the Cross
If cost /size not an issue..which one you think has better handling uncle? Toyota Cross or Mazda CX30?
Both!
my future car will be either an Altis or Cross.. such a lovely car indeed
Both is a good car. I have been driving altis since 2019. What i can say, all the safety features that comes with it is really working. The pre collision had saved me few times whem all the sudden people in front of me just stop without any warning. Even my distance not that close, but the auto brake assistant really help me to respond immediately. Thanks God.
SIFU. Comparing current Subaru Xv and Toyota Cross. Which drive better?
The Subaru XV would be better in the wet.
Msia spec XV is AWD while Cross is only FWD. XV of course better.
Agree 1000% on road hogging. I dont think fine is sufficient, maybe a demerit system too because they are causing inconvenience and potential danger to other road users.
Highest priority is getting rid of right lane hoggers. However a good highway education program would work wonders. Most of the time it is the blissfully unaware people who are the culprits, because conscientious and good drivers know how to keep left.
Having said that, many of my own friends also tend to keep on the fast lane, and it is also usually due to ignorance.
I usually tell them but I also suspect they go right back to their old ways the moment I am out of sight. Sad.
@@YSKhongDriving uncle is being polite, i think the correct term is either ego or kiasu. haha
If you were to choose a car with torsion beam or double wishbone and not care about luggage space, which would you pick?
Double wishbone
Congratulations uncle ❤ advice Toyota Corolla ❤ idols oilfield usages global Sir
Tunggu toyota veloz pulak uncle🥰
Akan datang.
Uncle YS khong. Which one better? Cross or Subaru XV?
The Subaru XV comes with AWD and 2.0 liter engine.
I dunno why no awd option on the toyota cross. During heavy rain, the awd is a safety feature
Cost, my dear cost. When you go CKD, you have to select your specs, and these specs need 'type approval'. Retail price will be higher, and the power plant won't do it justice, so we need maybe a different engine, amd that makes the cost even higher.
CBU, you say, and then the proce goes above RM200k, at which level there are other players, so there you go, back at square one.
I agree that both parties should be fine is by overtaking from the left is illegal. The motorist should be fine for driving slow. My friend used to say, "Wei, pi kiri la kalau nak drive slow lagu tu.", and she is a Chinese lady, who have been driving since she bought her car in 1980s.
It would be fun to watch that car hoing at 70 kmh on the extreme right lane on a 4 lane highway, and everybody staying just behind on all the lanes on the left, not allowed to overtake.
Things would improve greatly if only they listen to the advice given by your Chinese lady friend, lol.
Thanks for sharing your views. Much Appreciated!
@@YSKhongDriving Yes and it happened exactly 20 years ago. The car was Satria, at PLUS right after Juru Toll Plaza heading to Butterworth. I just smiled hearing her comment.
Uncle, isn't 17 inch rim a better option for comfort because of the additional rubber? 18 inch would put the rim metal nearer to the road surface hence a harsher ride? Just want to confirm in case I've understood the theory wrongly all this time 😅
Theory is correct, but overall ride and handling is a complex issue. As long as there is enough flex in the sidewalks, the ride can still be comfortable. However the lower aspect ratio contiubutes greatly in the area of agility and body roll, and overall comfort, as in passenger feeling of security and stability is increased.
It does not necessarily mean a higher profile means a more comfortable ride.
Tire technology has advanced quite a lot since those early days when this thinking was first mooted. I was there in that era too. 😅
I see. Very informative. Thanks so much Uncle. You're doing an awesome job with all these videos. Always looking forward to your driving and review videos 👍🏻👍🏻
Untuk kegunaan jangka masa panjang, Mazda cx30 atau Corolla Cross Hybrid?
Salah satu pun bolih.
Uncle. Which one is more fuel efficient corolla cross 1.8 or hrv s 1.5
That is an interesting question, but what about power?
@@YSKhongDriving i want to buy one uncle for everyday use. so fuel efficiency is my most concern. Thank you uncle.
Please help,
Corolla cross G vs Peugeot 2008 which one better?
It depends on what you want or need. The 2008 is very agile and handles very well. So is the Cross. Cross is C segmemt, while the 2008 is B segment, slightly smaller.
Heard the back seat is a bit cramped...especially the legroom.
Dont hear. Go check it our for yourself.
One thing I don't get from your videos is a sense of the suspension and comfort levels while driving. Being a rally driver I can understand why your back is tuned to dealing with bumps in the road. Great to see you doing something you love obviously and taking those corners. I wonder, do you every worry about some idiot in a race car rear ending you when you take those corners? Anyway thanks for the review and driving experience!
Thank you for supporting our channel. No, it will have to be a very good idiot to rear end me, because he will have to be faster. Anyway, of there is a faster car, I will let him pass, then no problem will arise.
When we put on manual mode..the gear will shift up by itself?
Yes.
Mr Kong. What is toyota cross 1.8V acceleration ie from 0 to 100km. Google...it stated 9.2 second. Is it correct?
It's about there. You don't buy the Cross for its acceleration.
May be for overtaking...rural roads
Uncle is that droning sound of cvt ?
It is engine and cvt. Do note that we are actually pushing the car quite hard.
Hello uncle. In term of handling, which one is better, Cross or HRV?
Both are built with Macpherson struts and torsion beams. The Cross has a slightly longer wheelbase and 18 inch tyres. Based on my personal driving feel, it seems the Cross handles a bit better.
I am very confident this toyota cross more reliable than new hr-v
According to Abg Gan, CC handling better and now uncle YS confirmed that 👍🏻
HRV is using Honda Jazz platform while Cross is using Corolla Altis platform, you think which platform is better?
whats the fuel consumption with that kind of driving I wonder 😅
Around 10 to 12 litres per 100 km, or more.
Do you have a power mode in this car?
Dont think so
cross vs crv handling, whic one better? =]
Both are built in very similar ways, so should be very close. The Cross 18 inch wheels help quite a bit.
How was it’s compared to the Subaru xv ?
XV has AWD
Uncle can you show me how to use manual gear?
Sure I can. Please pm me if you need any further information after this.
To use manual mode, just pull the gear shift lever to the right to put it into manual mode. Then, push the gear lever forward to shift up, and pull backwards to shift down.
Change to manual mode, when reach the corner use gear 2,3,4,3,4 to drift 🤣
Dear Mr Kong, cross and altis which is more better drives. In terms of power and comfortness
Both have the same engine and drive train. The Altis will handle better than the Cross necause it is lower, but the Cross is more versatile, and has higher ground clearance.
Sir, tq for the good advice 🙏 👍
Between this Corolla Cross and the X70, which one handles better?
Ok try it
@@farhanmalikiey1465 don't want
Watch both our videos.
@@YSKhongDriving since im not driving both of the cars so I wouldn't know. Probably asking the pros would be great 🤷🏻♂️ watching both videos btw I guess both cars handles quite the same since uncle said that both handle well.
As compare to Hybrid version, which is better?
For city environments the hybrid versions are always better. I had both versions for more than a week, and both are very nice and easy to drive.
The RPM almost hit the red line?
If you want to max out the power you have to rev high.
😀
the car is not road hogging as there is a car in front, basically 3rd lane is all jammed
If anotber vehicle come up behind you, you are supposed to move over to let it pass. Simple. Then tbere wont be the endless crawls we face on our highways.
does it fuel consuming ?
Watch our fuel consumption video.
mr ys khong love to drive up to genting
That, is pretty obvious.
@@YSKhongDriving why you don't drive to genting up on the top
Chr or toyota corolla cross better?
One is prettier' has rear wishbone' handles netter but no rear boot space. The other has a simpler torsion beam' not as sturdy but good enough. Take your pick
uncle drives like initial D
Hahaha, no drifto becos fwd
The you drive you should be in the F1. Very entertaining.
Dear sir, any reason why not choose a hybrid cross for test drive instead?
err he did that earlier
czcams.com/video/meX9ZTWzIag/video.html&ab_channel=YSKhongDriving
We have no reason not to choose either. We have another video on the hybrid on the same hill climb.
@@YSKhongDriving thanks
drive like this youd aprreciate paddle shifters
I am okay even with the plus minus on the gear stick, as long as it can shift
Does it means corolla altis is quieter then corolla cross?
Both share the same drive train, but the Altis will be a bit quieter as the rear axle in isolated in the rear boot area. Hatches and SUVs with the rear suspension in the cabin tend to transmit more road noise into the cabin.
Toyota Cross hybrid and Honda HRV v spec which one better.i'm struggle to choose any one of the car.
Both are good, eacg with its own good points. There is no such thing as a perfect car, just which car fits your needs the most.
Can be great if you can do another drive with passengers all in
We do not have the luxury to keep the car that long.
Any idea when to test drive the Toyota Corolla Cross GR-Sport to climb Genting?
When we get a car but I don't think there is a test car available.
What are your thoughts and views on corolla cross GRS?
They really should fine those lane hoggers and slow drivers on the RIGHT LANE!
Wow
Uncle can you show us the hand breaks how to function since it's at near the left leg 👣
Just step on it to engage, and step on it again to release. Nothing complicated at all.
@@YSKhongDriving Thanks Uncle,
Aren't high RPMs bad for CVT?
Not really.
The red corolla cross in front itu siapa punya....😅
Donno, just a random vehicle we saw on the road.
Morning
after saw tis review , TCC still leak of power compared with 1.5T honda! no really fun rider if speeding up to hill and highway . sorry TCC, you are not my choice. im now more prefer power of dream..RM134K buy stone era engine and technology. oh gosh. Come on, plssss
i test the TCC demo car before and that's the first and the last
Called that stone era. If you think Honda HRV is good, did you think HRV is using Stone Age technology that comes with LaneWatch but with poor resolution but no blind spot monitor, rear cross traffic alert, camera parking system, no power tailgate except for hybrid, no front parking sensors, interior looks really outdated and no temperature gauge. Spare part delivery and quality for honda is really worst but worst than toyota.
@@northgirl9733 Yes I owned one honda but can’t owned another one of honda anymore. Even I also still don’t buy honda when there are many recalls for new Hondas recently.
Honda is good but later once you owned honda, for a while, you will regret even more. Good luck for buying honda with poor quality
Agreed if you are comparing turbo engine with turbo engine
