yeah....That kind price is going to kill PI business. Looking forward to our next national car!!! btw, is it in showroom already? 

It is in showroom but you hv to make an appointment to view as it’s displayed in another confined area. I believe it’s done this way as it has not completed homologation n thus no test drive allowed.

saw some PI have it already in sg.

Going to bm to view the Yaris when I service the car on Tues!

I read some online review about Yaris Cross. General rating is about 7/10. The 1.5 L 3 cylinder engine is not very refined.

Waiting for local review on this car.

That should be the same engine on the GR Yaris, Alot of potential to push until 260 bhp!

Different engine la.

This 1.5L is dynamic force 3 pot.

GR Yaris is 1.6L bespoke engine.

whether engine powerful enough is really subjective. Some need instant power the moment they step on gas, some are more gentle user. For day to day use, with the high SUV driving position, this should be sufficient. I guess most will compare with vezel. Let's see what will happen when two big Japan auto giants went head to head on small SUV. It going to be interesting especially BM is in the game right from the beginning.  KM missed out the vezel fun/windfall when they delayed launch/sold Thai version HRV. 

Ground clearance for Yaris Cross is 170mm while Yaris is 140mm.  It is not very big different.

World apart between the 2 engines. I generally don't have good impression of 3 cyc engine, don't mention BMW lah..that is different class.

I am referring to general 3 cylinder engines from Korean and Jap brands. I have tried Suzuki and Kia, their 3 cylinder engines all suffer from vibration.

What i don't understand is why Toyota don't use Vios/Sienta engine on Yaris Cross. Why invent another 1.5L 3 cylinder engine for this car?

I rem Adrian from wapcar commenting about the old engine of a Toyota (altis if i rem correctly), and he made the suggestion that old engine means easy to find replacement parts...

And i think in our sedate country, we are barely putting all the horses inside to use most of the time anyway. You feel the sieokness of acceleration and a lighter wallet if you want to use a heavier foot =D

IL3 needs balancing shaft to remove vibration

Not much of a choice with increasingly strict emissions. So new engines have to come. Might be less reliable with all the extra components to comply with emissions.
