Are you sure it's coming??

Corolla Cross is on the same platform as 12 gen Sedan. As toyota has already invested in it, Sedan will be easier to launch.

We always get the western leftovers 🤣

saad0irfan (Someone waiting for UNI T) 2024-01-03 12:40:56 +0500 #5

Isn't sedan going to be replaced globally soon?

ahsann (Offroad Wanderers) 2024-01-03 12:47:51 +0500 #6

Yes ! so it will also be cheaper for them to change the shape here. Fully depreciated moulds and equipments

Typical IMC.

Their are chances IMC doesn't brings a non hybrid Corolla Cross and launches Sedan with a non hybrid engine.

It's mostly like Hilux and Fortuner they share same chasis only body change.

its actually the same all around for honda,toyota,suzuki in pak..atlas sure did launch the new gen as they had no other option as we saw when they have option they dragged city for 12 years straight ..the new gen they launched is highly stripped of features ..so situation becomes altogether same.. the new entrants like kia,hyundai,haval etc are providing better features ,quality as they have to gain that market trust which these three companies have gained since the 90s in pak..

Sir only the Chinese are offering up to date models.

Honda is the only non chinese company providing latest models although, they are stripped down.

saad0irfan (Someone waiting for UNI T) 2024-01-03 18:19:11 +0500 #12

Slow down!!!
How do you know if any of them are coming??

fastian04 (Salman) 2024-01-04 04:02:04 +0500 #13

I doubt they will launch 12th gen as its out going soon and wont make much sense now. Its already very late

saad0irfan (Someone waiting for UNI T) 2024-01-04 10:11:26 +0500 #14

But isn't that what they normally do? Launch an outgoing model and get cheap ckd kits.

affanhaq94 (Affan) 2024-01-04 10:49:37 +0500 #15

Yup. Did the same with the Santa fe, Sportage etc.

We get the old stuff while the western areas get the new models. Look up 2024 Santa fe for America, to check out the new model.

fastian04 (Salman) 2024-01-04 11:14:14 +0500 #16

Hyundai and Kia both so far have only launched outgoing/dead ckds. Toyota can surprise us too but i think they wont. 13th gen is few months away globally

waqasahmed03 (Armada) 2024-01-04 11:55:08 +0500 #17

pakistans corolla fan boys will welcome 12th gen hybrid corolla.

saad0irfan (Someone waiting for UNI T) 2024-01-04 12:22:18 +0500 #18

And that's why automakers always take us for a ride.

9th, 10th and 11th Gen Corollas were launched in Pakistan along side or 6 months after the world wide launch.

Indus skipped 1 generation before 9th Generation Corolla.
Atlas skipped 8th and 9th Gen Civics facelift.
Suzuki skipped Swift, Dragged Cultus and Swift along side.

Indian Suzuki sold Margalla and Baleno side by side.
India Honda sells 2 generation of City side by side (mostly because of City is being Exported to GCC)

Thailand toyota sold Vios and Yaris (same car) side by side.

its not about a particular company, different markets work differently

EDIT :

Cultus in Pakistan which is the European Celerio is basically a replacement for ALTO in the European markets. Alto in Pakistan is limited to Japan and Pakistan only. India has its own version of ALTO

You forgot to mention the pre face lift cross Indus just launched. Any reason for that?
