More Corolla Cross price and availability information

CG Says:

Toyota applies the favored Corolla nameplate to a crossover for the primary time with the introduction of the Corolla Cross for 2022. Dimension clever, this new SUV straddles the road between the subcompact and compact SUV courses (we categorize it as a subcompact SUV). It’s roughly 3 inches longer than a Corolla hatchback and about 5 inches shorter than Toyota’s RAV4 compact SUV, filling the hole between the quirky C-HR and RAV4 in Toyota’s SUV lineup.

For now not less than, the only powertrain selection is a 169-horsepower 2.0-liter 4-cylinder paired with a CVT automatic transmission. All fashions can be found with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. A gas-electric hybrid model is predicted sooner or later, maybe as a 2023 mannequin.

The Corolla Cross is obtainable in three trim ranges: L, LE, and top-line XLE. Contained in the cabin, the L and LE variations have conventional devices, with a 4.2-inch multifunction display screen. The XLE mannequin has an upgraded gauge panel with a 7-inch multifunction show, in addition to options corresponding to heated entrance seats and leatherette upholstery. All fashions have a typical infotainment system managed by a 7.0-inch touchscreen; an 8.0-inch display screen is elective on the LE and XLE. Apple CarPlay/Android Auto connectivity is commonplace on all fashions.

Additionally commonplace on all is Toyota’s Security Sense 2.0 set of security options, which features a pre-collision system, lane departure alert, street signal help, and lane tracing help. LE and XLE variations have commonplace cross-traffic alert and blind-spot monitoring.

Our solely actual complaints with this tidy package deal is the tepid acceleration and restricted 2^nd-row seating area. And, as a quibble, we wouldn’t thoughts seeing an improve by way of cabin supplies. All that stated, Corolla Cross pricing lands squarely within the worth camp.

Though it’s not revolutionary the least bit, the Corolla Cross nonetheless brings the prosaic-but-practical virtues of the confirmed Corolla model to SUV consumers in a way that’s compelling and acceptable. From that standpoint, it ought to show to be a strong selection for customers looking for reliable Toyota worth in a useful crossover package deal. Learn our First Spin of the Corolla Cross here.
