in recent years few automobile segments
have seen as much growth and enthusiasm
as small crossover suvs
and this year toyota is making a big
splash into this white hot segment with
the introduction of the all-new 2022
corolla cross
based on the ever popular corolla sedan
this bold crossover adds a healthy
heaping of versatility and everyday
convenience to an already incredible
package
in the toyota family corolla cross slots
in between chr and rav4
while its own lineup is spread across
three grains l le and xle
additionally each of these can be had
with either front wheel drive or
all-wheel drive
on the outside corolla crosses overall
dimensions help reinforce a vehicle size
that feels right between chr and rav4
just as expected
it also bridges this gap with its design
which invokes a sense of everyday fun
that strikes a perfect balance between
chr's youthful appeal
and rav4's ruggedness
the front end features a distinctive
black grill flanked by lead lighting for
all grades while along the side black
body panels are included on all grades
a round back a color keyed rear spoiler
and lead lighting is included across the
lineup along with an all-wheel drive
badge if equipped
also available outback is a power
liftgate to make for convenient access
to the cargo area
and when it comes to wheels options
range from 17-inch steel on l to 18-inch
alloy on xle

inside corolla cross's spacious interior
shares many similarities with its sedan
sibling when it comes to design and
in-cabin features which is to say it
punches far above its weight
to that end corolla cross can be
outfitted with a power moon roof up top
as well as either single or dual zone
automatic climate control with all
grades featuring standard rear seat
vents
softex trim seating is also available as
is an eight-way power adjustable driver
seat and heated front seats
in back storage space can be maxed out
thanks to the 60 40 split folding rear
seats that come standard on all grades
while xle models also include a center
armrest with two cup holders
naturally this is a crossover so added
space is key
to that end corolla cross offers a big
jump up over corolla sedan when it comes
to passenger and cargo space nearly as
much as rav4 in fact
inside corolla cross advanced technology
abounds
up front drivers are treated to an
available 7-inch multi-information
display with a digital instrumentation
layout while toyota's audio multimedia
platform plays center stage with an
available eight-inch touchscreen
and an enormous range of in-car
entertainment and connected
functionalities including standard
compatibility for apple carplay which
connects drivers to apple music maps
messages and other favorite apps from
your iphone
in addition android auto compatibility
makes it easy to stay connected to
android devices while amazon alexa
connectivity keeps amazon's digital
assistant just a question away
plus there's a standard three month
sirius xm all access trial subscription
to more than 300 radio channels
accessible throughout the country
and those mobile devices can stay topped
off through available wireless charging
or simply through the conveniently
located usb media port including in the
rear for le and xle
true to toyota for modern safety is key
for corolla cross
that's why all grades come standard with
both the toyota safety sense 2.0 suite
of advanced active safety systems
as well as toyota's signature star
safety system
in terms of available equipment blind
spot monitor and rear cross traffic
alert come standard on le and xle while
front and rear parking assist with
automatic braking is standard on xle
but of course in the event a collision
is unavoidable nine airbags are mounted
throughout the cabin to help protect
occupants from harm
being a crossover doesn't mean
performance takes a back seat
in fact corolla crosses grades may fall
under toyota's refined l line but they
inherit the awesome two-liter dynamic
force engine and direct shift cvt from
corolla sedan sportier s grades
that means a punchy 169 horsepower
and a physical first gear for an
amazingly engaging driving experience
corolla crosser suspension also plays a
role here as it's fully independent for
all-wheel drive models while front-wheel
drive vehicles feature a brand new
torsion beam system in the rear
and speaking of all-wheel drive corolla
cross uses toyota's clever dynamic
torque control system which can direct
up to 50 percent of power to the rear
wheels when it's needed and disengages
completely when it's not
this feature helps corolla cross
maintain great fuel economy estimates
another strong suit for this powertrain
so that's a quick look at corolla cross
one of toyota's newest family members
and soon to be one of the most popular
this crossover is about to reshape the
segment not just with its incredible
design and feature list but also through
toyota's signature formula of quality
durability and reliability
