Abdullah Abdulghani & Bros Co (AAB), sole agents for Toyota vehicles in Qatar, launched the all-new Toyota Corolla Cross electric hybrid at Milipol Qatar 2021.
The inauguration was attended by Abdulrahman Abduljaleel al-Abdulghani, chairman of AAB; R K Murugan, acting CEO; and senior management from AAB.
"Building on the incredible legacy of its best-selling vehicle, Toyota is delighted to introduce a brand-new addition to the Corolla family in the Middle East. Designed to move occupants in comfort and style, the all-new Corolla Cross delivers outstanding performance and a smooth ride for drivers and passengers alike that makes it the ideal choice for those seeking adventure, doing business or simply spending time with friends or loved ones," AAB said in a press statement.
The all-new Corolla Cross "has been designed as a new type of SUV that combines a tough urban-style exterior with a comfortable and convenient interior to exceed customer expectations. The TNGA platform (GA-C) has enabled the Corolla Cross to achieve high-quality performance, a comfortable ride and outstanding quietness. In addition to its exceptional comfort, the Corolla Cross provides a spacious cabin, effortless entry and exit, class-leading luggage space suitable for all scenarios, and tried and tested safety equipment inherited from the Corolla series", the statement notes.
Daizo Kameyama, chief engineer in charge of development, said: “Now that the Corolla Cross has newly joined the Corolla family, we sincerely hope that our customers will warmly welcome the vehicle to become part of their families; just like their partners, siblings or even friends. We wish that the Corolla Cross could assist customers in creating a new story by loading on their vehicle the people who are important to them, their luggage, and their dreams for the future.”
Kei Fujita, chief representative, Middle East and Central Asia Representative ‎Office, Toyota Motor Corporation, added: “As a versatile and stylish crossover vehicle, this latest addition to our HEV range will help to further increase the appeal of eco-friendly vehicles in the region and contribute to our long-term goals for the promotion of sustainable mobility.”
Toyota has combined its leadership in HEV development and extensive experience in the SUV arena with its "legendary Quality, Durability, and Reliability (QDR)" to create the all-new Toyota Corolla Cross HEV.
The all-new Corolla Cross immediately captures the attention with its blend of SUV toughness and urban refinement. The vehicle’s bold yet sophisticated style and unmistakable presence are guaranteed to turn heads.
The 2021 Corolla Cross’s distinctive look and feel is completed by its comfortable interior, which displays exceptional quality and finishing throughout.
The vehicle’s drive personality is brought to life by a new electrified hybrid system that combines two power sources. Its 1.8-litre Atkinson-cycle petrol engine with a combined power of 121hp. The system is mated to an Electrically Controlled Continuously Variable Transmission (E-CVT) that contributes to an outstanding fuel consumption value of 23.7km/L.
The vehicle can be driven entirely on electrical ‎power with zero-fuel consumption and tailpipe emissions, or by combining the power generated from the petrol ‎engine and two electric motors, depending on its speed and driver behaviour. ‎The hybrid-electric batteries are continuously charged by the petrol ‎engine or when decelerating and braking, eliminating the need to plug in a power cord. The HEV features a host of advanced technologies, yet drives like any conventional vehicle and ‎does not require special fuel.
The car comprises safety features such as SRS airbags, Vehicle Stability Control, Traction Control and Tyre Pressure Warning System, among others.
With the launch of the Corolla Cross, Toyota’s hybrid electric model line-up has increased to six models in Qatar, which also includes the Corolla, Camry, RAV4, C-HR and Highlander.
Customers wishing to purchase the new model can visit any of the two showrooms located at Al Abdulghani Tower (C-Ring Road) and City Center Doha (basement), or can speak to their sales team directly at 50099188.
The Toyota main showroom is open from Sunday to Thursday, 8am until 9pm. The City Center showroom is open from Sunday to Thursday, 9am until 9pm. Both the showrooms are open on Fridays as well, from 5pm to 9pm.
