In the Chinese market, Toyota and Honda have been in a non-changing competition in sales, but Toyota has been covered by Honda in a small SUV market. Bangxi / XR-V two brothers have sold more than 30,000 units per month, and Toyota C-HR / Ze month is only about 10,000 units, and there is no ability to fight with Honda.
But in fact, Toyota is in some overseas markets, still selling another small SUV model – Carolla Cross, it not only looks More in line with the aesthetics of the Chinese, and also winning C-HR in practicality! If this car can introduce domestic, it is afraid that it is difficult to think about it!
Although this small SUV name is “Carolla Cross”, but It is not a cross-boundary version of Carolla, but a traditional SUV with a higher level RAV4. The design of the trapezoidal network is surrounded by a black plastic, which is also in line with the name of its cross.
Corora CROSS and C-HR in the design style, there is no mistake from the side . The shape of the Carolla Cross is more traditional, more in line with most people’s cognition for SUV style, and the Founder’s arches seem to be a little RAV4 meaning. For domestic consumers, many people have two main points for C-HR “complaints”: First, the coupe design makes the rear side window area, resulting in a rear ride feel depressed. Secondly, it is too exaggerated and the end of the car tail double tail design, so many traditional consumers are unacceptable. And these two points have been resolved on Carolla Cross.
The car tail design of Carolla Cross is also very traditionally, a pragmatic SUV style, Founder’s tailor opening can provide maximum convenience for the trunk Sex, concise and rules, and the surrounding shape will not directly advise some conservative consumers like C-HR.
If the shape of the Carolla Cross maintains a certain unique, Then, its interior is almost unlocked to move the style of Carolla. In fact, this is not difficult to understand, after all, even the name is called Carolla Cross, the interior is also an rational thing as Carolla. 
The space is worth mentioning. Because the axis of CROSS and the platform of the C-HR are the same, the space is different. Will be too large, the passenger of 180cm height can basically have a punch than about 1 punch. However, due to the roof lines of Carolla Cross, the windows are larger, so the head space and the line of sight will be much better, and the ride feel will be more transparent.
Further, the back row of Carolla Cross is also equipped with air-conditioned air outlets, and USB-A, USB-C power supply, these are C- HR does not have a configuration, indicating that Carolla Cross is more focused on the rear passenger experience.
Fang Zhengping straight line also brings a larger trunk, both the trunk of Carolla CROSS, whether in depth, vertical height or the opening area Both are larger than C-HR, and the rear seats can also form an almost flat space, which is very practical. For Chinese consumers paying attention to practicality, Carolla Cross is obviously more suitable for the Chinese market than C-HR.

In terms of power, Corora CROSS has three power specifications worldwide, including an old 1.8L naturally aspirated engine, mainly Market in Southeast Asia and Brazil. There is also a 1.8L hybrid system of Carolla, as well as C-HR with a C-HR used in the US version of the model 2.0L + CVT power combination. If this model is introduced to domestic, it should be equipped with the power combination of 2.0 L + CVT as domestic C-HR. As for the mixing system, the 2.0L hybrid system that should not be used in the new C-HR just replaced, because the system is the latest product of TNGA architecture, current cost is still relatively high, only in C-HR / 泽 混, as well as the imported Lexus UX260H. Therefore, if Cristo CROSS should continue to use the 1.8L mix of the same paragraph on domestic Carolla, as for the reasons, you will look down!
Although the size of Carolla Cross is larger than C-HR, Out of origin, its positioning is lower than C-HR. Because of the Toyota Yeng’s product plan, if a car originally born, the target market is Japan, Europe, North America, this car is usually a model of high quality route. And if this car is in the birth of Southeast Asia, South America, Africa and other models, it will choose to take a cheap and practical route. 
The C-HR currently sold in the Chinese market is actually Toyota specializes in the fine SUV built in Japan and the European market to drive feelings and Shape design is the main selling point. For this reason, C-HR uses the former McFesson, and the H-type multi-link four-wheeled independent suspension is designed to enhance the control of the vehicle.
Corora CROSS is the model created by Toyota for the third world country. In July 2020, the first appearance in Thailand, mainlySales of Southeast Asia and Brazil have only recently entered the US market. Although the TNGA-C platform is also available, the rear suspension of Carolla Cross uses a torque beam structure, and the independent suspension of the Carolla and C-HR is low.
For this reason, the pricing of Carolla CROSS is actually cheaper than C-HR. For example, in the Thai market, 1.8L mixed C-HR price is approximately RMB 21.93 million, and the same power assembly of Carolla Cross is about RMB 2089 million. Therefore, if Carlola Cross is domestically, the actual pricing should be around 12-15 million, cheaper than 2.0L C-HR of 14.18-16.08 million.
In the current SUV market in China, Honda / XR-V two brothers are the benchmarks, although they have been listed in China for nearly 7 years, they are still in front of the sales list. The brothers add together and relax and sell 30,000 units. And Toyota C-HR / 泽 has added up to 10,000 units. 
British / XR-V largest selling point is actually space, although the size of the vehicle is not large, the space in the car is very spacious, and the trunk also has Very nice extension. So, although these two cars are still based on the chassis of the previous generation of flying, the sound-insulated shock performance is not ideal, but it is still very good to obtain excellent sales with super practicality.
Therefore, if Toyota will make Corolla Cross domestic, it is necessary to face the competition of Honda’s two brothers. Compared to Bangxi / XR-V, Carolla Cross may be slightly weak in ride space and the trunk volume. However, it is benefited from the blessing of the TNGA architecture, the driving experience of the vehicle, the chassis texture, and the safety are bound to have a certain advantage. At this time, if the pricing can maintain the same level as Bangxiang, it is still guaranteed in sales.
In addition to the two brothers of this field, in SUVs at 150,000, Nissan hacker is also very stable players, listed for 6 years. Sell to more than 10,000 months months. The hacker is slightly smaller than the Carolla Cross, but the space in the car is equally good.
Further, Nissan hacker will also usher in domestic replacement next year, the new generation of models will use 1.3T four from Mercedes-Benz A. Cylinder engines, and also add a set of E-POWER hybrid systems to meet those users with higher requirements for fuel economics.
It can be said that although Carolla Cross is not much in the country, it is necessary to win from Honda, Nissan, and difficulty. Not small. Fortunately, Toyota has improved in the rapid brand in the past two years. If this car is really domestic, and if the pricing is reasonable, it is not impossible to grab the market. 
Do you think Corolla Cross can sell after domestic?
