UMW Toyota Motor Sdn Bhd (UMWT) has unveiled the enhanced 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross HEV GR Sport which comes with a tweaked exterior design, a new cabin, and enhanced handling. Fortunately, the RM148,800 pricing remains unchanged.
For 2026, the Corolla Cross HEV GR Sport comes with bolder exterior detailing, enhanced driving confidence, and a more refined cabin. The updates are shaped around evolving customer expectations, delivering greater visual presence, comfort, and engagement while maintaining the efficiency and ease of ownership that define Toyota’s hybrid line-up.
Engineered to deliver a more engaging drive without sacrificing comfort, the Corolla Cross HEV GR Sport features a sport-tuned suspension that improves handling stability and driver confidence on both city roads and highways.
The setup has been specifically calibrated for Malaysian conditions, offering a more composed and assured driving feel while remaining family-friendly.
Visually, the 2026 update gives the Corolla Cross HEV GR Sport a more assertive road presence. A redesigned front grille and fog lamp surrounds echo the wider GR design language, while front and rear skid plates add to its rugged stance.
Revised side mouldings sharpen the profile, complemented by updated rear emblem colour accents. All variants now feature a distinctive black roof, enhancing its sporty urban appeal. Colour options include Platinum White Pearl, Dark Turquoise, and Red Mica Metallic.
Inside, the cabin adopts a sport-focused yet comfortable theme. A black interior is highlighted with bold red accents and GR red stitching across key touchpoints, including the steering wheel, door trims, instrument panel, and shift lever boot.
Red seatbelts, dark silver trim finishes, and seats with GR-embroidered headrests further elevate the sense of craftsmanship. GR branding on the steering wheel and key fob completes the performance-inspired atmosphere.
As part of Toyota’s broader mobility strategy, the enhanced Corolla Cross HEV GR Sport underscores the continued importance of Hybrid Electric technology as Malaysia progresses toward a lower-carbon future.
Aligned with Toyota’s Multipathway approach, the model complements internal combustion, battery electric, and fuel cell vehicles in addressing diverse customer needs.
By combining proven hybrid efficiency with a sport-inspired driving experience, UMW Toyota Motor offers Malaysian drivers a compelling balance of practicality, emotional appeal, and responsible mobility—delivering solutions that are relevant, scalable, and sustainable for everyday life.
The enhanced Corolla Cross HEV GR Sport will be available at all authorised Toyota dealerships nationwide, with pricing unchanged. Ownership is supported by a five-year unlimited-mileage vehicle warranty, along with a dedicated Hybrid Electric system warranty covering the hybrid battery, inverter, and power management control unit. Customers may also opt for an additional two-year extended warranty for added peace of mind.
Datuk Ravindran K., President of UMW Toyota Motor, said the model continues Toyota’s legacy of trust in Malaysia. “The Corolla Cross HEV GR Sport has earned its position as one of the leading hybrid SUVs by delivering dependable efficiency, confident everyday driving, and a design that suits modern urban lifestyles.”
“With the 2026 enhancement, we have further refined the model to support how Malaysians commute, travel, and spend time with family, while staying true to Toyota’s commitment to reliable and responsible mobility.”
