The Corolla Cross is the SUV version of New Zealand’s most trusted nameplate. A 2.0 litre self-charging hybrid drives every grade, so you get easy economy along with the higher ride, extra space and modern tech that make a compact SUV a dream to drive.
Under the bonnet there’s a 2.0 litre petrol-hybrid making around 146 kW through a smooth E-CVT, and it charges itself as you drive so you get great around-town economy with no plug to worry about. Front-wheel drive suits most people and then the e-Four all-wheel drive on GR Sport adds extra grip in wet conditions.
Getting in and out is easy and the boot happily stores whatever a growing family throws in it. Toyota Safety Sense is standard across the range too, with an upgraded parking system and extra driver-assist features on the latest models.
A fresh grille and bumper give the latest Corolla Cross a sharper, more integrated face.
LED headlights and daytime running lights across the range for clear vision.
From 17-inch alloys on the GX to 19-inch machine-finished wheels on the GR Sport.
The GR Sport adds a unique bumper, red brake calipers and black exterior accents.
Inside, the Corolla Cross is roomy, with the quality and clean layout the Corolla name is known for.
A central touchscreen runs Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and it grows from 8 inches on the GX to a 10.5-inch display higher up, with a 12.3-inch digital driver’s screen on the Limited. Dual-zone climate is standard and then the higher grades add a wireless charger, heated and ventilated front seats and a panoramic glass roof.
The cabin’s easy to get in and out of and there’s generous head and legroom along with a practical boot. Step up to the Limited and you add full self-parking features and a power tailgate with a kick sensor for extra convenience.
Start with the well-equipped GX and then step up to the GXL for more comfort and tech, choose the refined front-drive Limited, or pick the sportier all-wheel drive GR Sport with its unique styling and tuned suspension. Every grade runs the same efficient 2.0 litre hybrid.
The Toyota Corolla is the best-selling car of all time and the Corolla Cross brings that reputation for reliability and value to the compact SUV class. It’s easy to own and cheap to run, and it’s backed by Toyota’s nationwide network, so it’s a sensible choice that doesn’t feel like a compromise.
