The Toyota Starlet Cross is a sleek and stylish compact SUV. From its state-of-the-art technology to its striking looks, it makes drivers confident and in control behind the wheel.

It is a compact crossover available in two main grades: the entry-level XS and the higher-spec XR. Each grade uses a 1.5-litre petrol engine offering 77kW and 138Nm of torque paired with either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission.

Fuel consumption comes in at an impressive 5.6l/100km for manual transmission models and 5.8l/100km for automatic models.

For safety, all Starlet Cross models are fitted with driver and passenger airbags, as well as additional curtain and side airbags. Other standard features include ISOFIX (child restraint system) and an alarm/immobiliser.

It also has 170mm ground clearance, a 304-litre boot, ABS and vehicle stability control.

Heads-up display and 360° panoramic view monitor come standard on the XR grade.

“For a young family, first-time buyer or city runabout, this vehicle is a winner. With low fuel consumption, low monthly instalments and the Toyota badge for resale, the Toyota Starlet Cross is a perfect purchase for any family needs. There’s enough power and long-distance touring comfort, packed with features for your convenience,” said sales executive, Tyron Naidoo.

Every XR automatic comes with four services/60,000km and 3 year/100,000km warranty, whichever comes first.

So if you are looking for a car that’s stylish, reliable and affordable, the Toyota Starlet is the perfect hatchback for everyday life and weekend adventures, whether grocery shopping or a day trip to Lake Eland.
