Toyota Corolla Cross

The 2024 Corolla Cross boasts a practical, driver-focused cabin, offering fabric seats on entry-level models, with leather being the go-to option on the high-end GR-S. A combination of soft-touch materials and durable plastics complement the interior. 

Standard infotainment includes Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, while higher trims get upgrades like a digital gauge cluster. Overall, it prioritizes clean functionality for a comfortable everyday driving experience. The GR-S variant adds a sporty touch and a bevy of extra infotainment and comfort features, besides.

The 2024 Corolla Cross blends ruggedness with a modern look. Its raised stance tackles city streets and light off-roading. Bold front LEDs and a sporty rear with spoiler, especially in the GR-S showcasing a design that's both sophisticated and subtly athletic.

The Corolla Cross' color options include Emotional Red 2/Attitude Black Mica and Platinum White Pearl Mica/Attitude Black Mica two-tone color contrasts for the top-spec GR-S, and either Platinum White Pearl Mica, Celestite Gray Metallic, and Metal Stream Metallic for the V and HEV trims.

The 2024 Corolla Cross prioritizes comfort for daily commutes. Its suspension delivers a smooth ride, while the compact size and light steering make city driving and parking a breeze. The addition of NVH insulation drastically cuts down on engine noise, alongside wind and road noise. Since it leans towards stability, you can expect some body roll in sharp corners. 

The Corolla Cross borrows the Corolla Altis sedan's platform and hybrid powertrain (1.8L engine with electric motor for a combined 120 hp and 142 Nm of torque), but with a retuned suspension to handle its extra weight. Power goes through a CVT to the front wheels. MacPherson struts up front and a torsion beam in the rear provide a comfortable ride with ample stopping power thanks to ventilated front disc brakes.

The 2024 Corolla Cross loads up on safety tech, offering seven SRS airbags, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, blind spot monitoring, and more. It also boasts a rearview camera, and hill-start assist for a comprehensive safety package. Each variant will have its distinctive safety features, which may not apply equally across all models.

If you’re looking for a relatively affordable, fuel-efficient compact SUV that makes for an excellent daily-commute vehicle with the additional perks of being a weekend off-roader, the Toyota Corolla Cross has you covered.
