NEW Toyota Corolla Cross (2024)

The new 2024 Toyota Corolla Cross emerges as a blend of familiar reliability under the Corolla brand and a touch of modern utility. Leveraging the credibility of the Corolla name, it aims to extend its appeal by incorporating 'Cross' in its nomenclature, suggesting added versatility and a hint of off-road capability. This compact SUV maintains the Corolla's reputation for trustworthiness but doesn't deviate from its somewhat modest handling and performance. The standard model relies on a 169-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a CVT, offering reasonable but not exhilarating power. Opting for the Corolla Cross Hybrid significantly boosts the power output to 197 horsepower, delivering a more spirited driving experience. Visually, the Corolla Cross displays hints of the RAV4 and Highlander SUV in its design, presenting a sporty appearance with certain trims adding a dash of zest to its exterior allure. The vehicle emphasizes safety with a comprehensive suite of driver-assistance features, including standard automated emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and lane-departure warning. It integrates contemporary technology such as Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a range of connectivity options, from standard features like SiriusXM radio to optional wireless smartphone charging and a premium JBL audio system. The interior, reminiscent of the Corolla sedan, offers a comfortable and well-equipped cabin, with ample space for passengers and an increased cargo area compared to its sedan counterpart.
