The Corolla Cross is the second Toyota crossover built on the TNGA-C platform, after the smaller C-HR which was launched in 2016. The Corolla Cross shares the same 2,640 mm (103.9 in) wheelbase as the C-HR, but occupies a larger footprint. Compared to the C-HR, the Corolla Cross focuses on interior space and practicality.[8] For the front-wheel drive models, it come with a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension instead of an independent rear suspension used on the regular Corolla and the C-HR to save interior space and cut costs.[9] The all-wheel drive models still come with rear independent units.
The interior is shared with the regular Corolla, with minor redesigns.[10] It offers a claimed boot space of 487 L (17.2 cu ft) if equipped with a puncture repair kit, and 440 L (16 cu ft) with a temporary spare tyre.[11]
The conventional petrol model uses a 1.8-litre 2ZR-FE regular/2ZR-FBE flex fuel or a 2.0-litre M20A-FKS regular/M20A-FKB flex fuel four-cylinder petrol engines that produces 103 kW (138 hp; 140 PS) at 6,000 rpm and 177 N·m (131 lb·ft) of torque at 4,000 rpm and 126–130 kW (169–174 hp; 171–177 PS) at 6,600 rpm and 207–210 N·m (153–155 lb·ft) of torque at 4,400–4,800 rpm respectively, while hybrid variants gets the 1.8-litre 2ZR-FXE four-cylinder petrol engine that produces 72 kW (97 hp; 98 PS) at 5,200 rpm and 142 N·m (105 lb·ft) of torque at 3,600 rpm paired with an eCVT and works together with a 6.5-Ah nickel-metal hydride battery as well as an 1NM AC synchronous electric motor rated at 53 kW (71 hp; 72 PS) and 163 N·m (120 lb·ft) to provide a total system output of 90 kW (121 hp; 122 PS).
As of June 2021, the Corolla Cross is produced in Thailand, Taiwan, and Brazil. However, Toyota Australia has confirmed that it will import the vehicle from Japan from late 2022.[12] Production in the US and South Africa will also start in late 2021.[13][14]
What’s new for the 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross?
Everything, despite the name and the body. The Corolla Cross shares an architecture with both the Corolla sedan and the RAV4 crossover SUV, but it’s a new vehicle built in the U.S., comprised of familiar parts but sized to tackle a whole new niche of small SUVs like the VW Taos and Nissan Rogue Sport.The Corolla Cross leans on the bigger RAV4’s shape to draw in eyeballs. It’s a sharp, squat-looking crossover with smartly angled pillars and wheel wells that could do worse than to mimic one of Toyota’s top sellers. The interior takes the same tack, with a familiar layout capped by a touchscreen perched on the dash.
The Corolla Cross also taps the Toyota parts bin for its 169-hp 2.0-liter inline-4. Performance should be fine, even with the continuously variable automatic transmission that will drop-ship power to the front or all four wheels. We expect a taut ride on front-drivers, which get a twist-beam rear suspension, and more compliance from the higher-end models and their more sophisticated rear multi-link suspension.
The Corolla Cross will be able to tow up to 1,500 pounds, and fuel economy will rise as high as 32 mpg combined—though no hybrid model has been confirmed.
Some 5.9 inches shorter than a RAV4, and 175.6 inches long in all, the Corolla Cross is 3.8 inches shorter than the RAV4 and sports 8.1 inches of ground clearance, just a half-inch less than its bigger kin. It’s also just 2.0 inches shorter in wheelbase, which means front-seat passengers should have good space, while rear-seat riders will have less leg room than in the RAV4—six inches less.
How much does the 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross cost?
Prices haven’t been announced yet, but the base Corolla Cross L will have a 7.0-inch touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, cloth upholstery, 60/40-split folding rear seats, and a driver-assistance suite with automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, active lane control, and automatic high beams. LEs and XLEs gain blind-spot monitors, while the options list includes an 8.0-inch touchscreen, a 9-speaker JBL sound system, wireless smartphone charging, synthetic leather seats, a bike rack, and a sunroof.
