From Unquenchable Guzzlers to Hybrid Darlings Toyota Corolla Cross 1.8 Hybrid XS says "Hello" to the future

Our recent test drive vehicle made me very broody, usually, I am practical about cars. They are there for one purpose only, to take me from A-Z without stress. Well let me get you in on a little secret, the Toyota Corolla Cross 1.8 Hybrid XS was one of those dream rides I want to sing about to the angels above, as it offers an almost unbeatable blend of value, quality, practicality and economy. It is valued at just under half a bar. But what it also does is makes one want to conserve, save and be mindful of the carbon footprint we create wherever we go.

Increasingly, as people, we have become so attached to the material side of our existence and we seldom stop to consider what our consumption levels are doing to our planet. With the new 1.8 Hybrid XS, you literally take a step into the future, self-charging vehicles are here to stay and they are designed to ensure that we limit the negative impact our vehicles have on our environment.

Designed for a balance of power and efficiency, Corolla Cross Hybrid is perfect as a daily run-around and also as an adventure seeker. It has so many desirable features, like the spacious interiors, the sexy exterior, the soundless, almost golf cart like sounding engine and best of all, its the first of its kind to be manufactured in South Africa.

Not only is the Corolla Cross Hybrid more efficient than the gas-powered model, it's also more powerful. And because hybrid technology automatically manages the outputs of the petrol engine and electric motor to optimise efficiency, this model is good for the planet.

If the first step towards change is the desire to make the change, then the change has arrived in the form of the Toyota Corolla Cross 1.8 Hybrid XS, which comes with desire standard. The hybrid technology optimises the vehicle's systems to use a combination of electric and gas power while you're driving. So depending on which mode you're in, you can use much less fuel and spend less money on gas overall!

If like me, you are confused about hybrid technology, the simplest way to explain hybrid technology is one that uses two or more distinct types of power, such as submarines that use diesel when surfaced and batteries when submerged.

Test-drive the Toyota Corolla Cross 1.8 Hybrid XS today and help to create a more sustainable environment for our children.
