New design: Even more stunning in appearance
The front look of the new Corolla Cross has now become even more attractive and modern. It has a body-colored honeycomb grille, which is similar to the Asian model. But the European model has a new LED light bar connecting the headlights, which makes it even more stylish. The headlights have also been changed, which now have new LED technology and L-shaped daytime running lights (DRL) that shine in unison with the dashboard.
Changes have also been made at the rear. The taillights have got a new C-shaped LED design and small wings (aero fins) have also been added to it, which will make the car more stable. The new design of “Corolla Cross” on the tailgate and new 18-inch alloy wheels also enhance its beauty.
Major changes in the interior: a confluence of technology and comfort
Many changes have also been made inside the Corolla Cross. It now has a large center console, which has a USB-C port, wireless charger, sliding storage box and newly designed cupholders. Connectivity has been improved even more. Android Auto will now work 1.5 times faster than before and will be at par with Apple CarPlay. The design of the gear selector is also new and stylish.
In Europe, most models will get a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 10.5-inch touchscreen with Toyota’s Smart Connect system as standard. To reduce noise inside the car, a special material has been used on the roof, which will reduce rain and road noise. There is also more sound insulation near the rear ventilator and the top models have also been given a three-layer dashboard, which will make the cabin even quieter.
Hybrid engine only: A good combination of power and mileage
In Europe, the new Corolla Cross will be available only with hybrid engines. There are two engine options:
- Hybrid 140: A 1.8-liter engine, which gives power of 140 PS.
- Hybrid 200: A 2.0-liter engine, which gives power of 197 PS and comes with Toyota’s AWD-i (all-wheel drive) system.
In the AWD-i model, a 42 PS electric motor powers the rear wheels. There is also a new “Snow Extra Mode” which will give the vehicle better grip and stability on snowy roads. Both hybrid engines are good in terms of mileage and are also better for the environment.
New GR Sport model: Sporty look and performance
For the first time in Europe, the GR Sport model of the Corolla Cross has also been launched, which is slightly different from the GR Sport in Asia. This model has a large octagonal lower grille and square shaped air intakes at the front, which are similar to Toyota’s GR Yaris and Corolla. This vehicle is 10 mm lower than the normal model and has been given 19-inch Y-spoke alloy wheels, gloss black badges and a special “Storm Grey” color.
Talking about the inside, the GR Sport has been given Brin Knob suede-like upholstery, red stitching, headrests with GR logo, paddle shifters and a special sport mode. In Sport mode, the throttle response becomes sharper, the engine speed increases slightly and the gears are held for longer, which improves engine braking. This model is for those who like style and sporty driving.
