And how does the new Toyota Corolla Cross run?

The Corolla Cross has been an unparalleled move by Toyota: he became one of the best -selling cars in the world in a short time. It was the Netherlands’s turn relatively late and that is why we already get an update.

What was the intention of the Toyota Corolla Cross again

The model filled a gap in 2021 that we initially did not know it existed. You would say that Toyota had covered the SUV segment with the CH-R and the RAV4. But no, there was certainly room for the Corolla Cross, especially because the RAV4 has grown considerably. If you look at twenty years ago, it was a cute SUV, but now it is a lel of a car with a fully-fledged D-segment look. Too big a step from the compact C-HR and so this SUV came on Corolla base. Did it catch on? Well with a third place worldwide in the sales lists, that is an understatement. Especially because the RAV4 was in place one, so there is little noticeable of cannibalism. SUVs are hot and Toyota everywhere she builds a little more robust than average. And now he gets an update. That seems pretty smooth, but the Corolla Cross was available elsewhere in the world rather than here.

So a facelift. Only the bumper just at points?

Yes, the nose has been tackled, just like the inside side. We went into it extensively earlier. But there are also subcutaneous technical changes. The strongest variant, the 200h, has disappeared. The car was available for the facelift as Hybrid 140 and as Hybrid 200. The 140 version remains, but just like recently at the Lage Corolla, the Hybrid 200 makes way for the Hybrid 180. It is 178 hp but is (on paper) just as quickly as the Hybrid 200 it repels. That is because there is more power about the width of the power band. As usual, that power comes from a 2-liter four-cylinder with 152 hp and 113 hp electrical power. Those peaks not so much on power, or on efficiency and so the system power is lower than you might suspect.

The electric boost has been so great since the launch of this Toyota that the annoyances of early prizers are a thing of the past. He is more than fed up with daily use. Furthermore, little has been changed to the chassis, but it is noticeable that the Corolla Cross is quieter than before. Before the update, the car suffered a lot from wind and tire noise, an ailment of which more Toyotas suffer. Extra insulation and smaller mirrors have a clear effect. The driving behavior is quite clearable, which is different from bad. The Corolla Cross offers quite a bit of comfort, but the road holding is just as good. The same applies to the control and the powertrain. It is Toyota, but it is noticeable that the RAV4 is on another, better, platform. That car is better in all areas. The Corolla Cross logically leans almost entirely on Corolla technology and it fits just a little better with a low car than with this SUV. The appearance will make that more than good for most people. Take the 180 version, the 140 has a bit too little power for a car of this size. The Corolla Cross has become slightly more expensive, but on the other hand it now has standard LED headlights and seat heating. This means that the low price increase is already justified. We know that the next tip will largely be ignored in connection with ‘the high entry’, but when you consider this model, also look at a Corolla Touring Sports. This makes you cheaper and you also drive even more economically. Moreover, with 581 liters you get much more luggage space than in the Corolla Cross with its 428 liters. And perhaps the most important thing: the Corolla Touring Sports drives better.

The middle tunnel was a bit overhauled.

The Corolla Cross Has Been a Peerless Move by Toyota: It Quickly Became One of the Best-Selling Cars in the World. The Netherlands was relatively late, which is why we are already getting an update.

What Exactly was the Purpose of the Toyota Corolla Cross

In 2021, The Model Filled A Gap That We Didn’t Initially Know Existed. You would think that Toyota had covered the SUV segment with the ch-r and the rav4. But No, there was definitely Room for the Corolla Cross, Especialy Since the Rav4 has Grown Considerably. If you look at twenty years ago, it was a cute SUV, but now it is a hulk of a car with a full-fulled d-segment appearance. Too big a step from the compact c-hr, so this suv based on the corolla was created. Did it Catch On? Well, with a third place worldwide in the sales lists, that is an understatement. Especiate Since the RAV4 was in First Place, So There is Little Sign of Cannibeism. Suvs are hot everywhere and toyota builds them just a bit more robust than Average. And now it is getting an update. That Seems QUITE FAST, But The Corolla Cross was available Elsewhere in the World Earlier Than Here.

So a facelift. Just touch up the bumper?

Yes, the Nose Has Been Addressed, As has the interior. We discuss it extensively earlier. But there are also Underlying Technical Changes. The Strongest Variant, The 200h, Has Disappeared. Before the facelift, the car was axy as hybrid 140 and as hybrid 200. The 140 version remains, but just like recently with the low corolla, the hybrid 200 is replaced by the hybrid 180. It has 178 hp but hp paper as fast. This is because there is more power across the width of the power band. That power comes as always from a 2-liter four-cylinder with 152 HP and 113 HP or Electric Power. They don’t peak so much on power, but rather on efficiency, and so the system power is loower than you might expect.

The Electric Boost Has Been So Great Since the Launch of this Toyota That The Annoyances of Early Priuses Are a Thing of the Past. It is more than fast Enough for Daily Use. Little Else Has Changed on the Chassis, But It is NoticeBey that the Corolla Cross is Quieter Than Before. Before the update, the car suffered a lot from wind and tire noise, a problem that more toyotas suffer from. Extra Insulation and Smaller Mirrors Clearly Have An Effect. The Handling is QUITE UNREMARKABLE, which is different from Bad. The Corolla Cross sacrifices a reasonable amount of comfort, but the road holding is still fine. The Same Goes for the Steering and the Powertrain. It is Toyota Through and through, but it is noticeable that the rav4 is on a differentent, better platform. That car is better in all areas. The Corolla Cross Logical Relies Almost Entirely on Corolla Technology and that fits just a Little Better with a Low Car Than With This SUV. The Appearance Will More Than Make Up For That For Most People. Do take the 180 version, the 140 has too little power for a car of this size in our opinion. The Corolla Cross Has Become SLIGHTLY MORE EXPENSIVE, But On The Other Hand It Now Has Standard Led Headlights and Seat Heating. This already Justifies the Slight Price Increase. We know that the following tip will largely be ignored due to ‘the high entry’, but if you are considing this model, take a look at a corolla touring sports. It will be cheaper and you will also drive more economically. MoreOover, with 581 Liters you get much more luggage space than in the Corolla Cross with its 428 liters. And perhaps most importantly: The Corolla Touring Sports Drives Better.
