How much will the Toyota Starlet Cross cost in SA?
As mentioned, the opening gambit to the Starlet Cross range will set you back just below R300 000. The entry-level, five-speed-manual-equipped Xs variant is priced at R299 900, with the Xs version equipped with a four-speed automatic cog swapper priced at R322 300. The XR manual and automatic models will be priced at R339 300 and R359 300, respectively. Included in the pricing are a warranty of three years or 100 000 km and a four-year/60 000 km service plan.
What powers the Toyota Starlet Cross?
Like the Starlet hatchback, the in-vogue compact crossover is powered by the familiar K15B 1.5-litre atmospheric four-pot. The petrol unit produces 77 kW and 138 N.m of torque, the latter of which is exclusively directed to the front axle from 4 400 r/min.
