Toyota Corolla is one of the most popular names in the automotive history, with sales that entered the Guinness Book of history. Now, the range is extended with the new 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross. The 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross, based on the ever-popular Corolla sedan, is coming to dealerships this October with a starting price of $22,195 for the front-wheel drive base grade. And a bump up to all-wheel drive will be available for an extra $1,300.
Available in front-wheel drive (FWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD), the compact SUV maximizes the inherent potential of the high-strength TNGA-C platform and a 169-horsepower 2.0-liter Dynamic Force Engine.
Offered in three grades – L, LE and XLE – the versatile design of the Corolla Cross is spacious, modern, powerful and high quality. And from the rear, the stylish design elements continue, with an integrated rear spoiler and LED lighting. Wheel options range from 17-inch steel on L to 18-inch alloy on XLE.
Inside, Corolla Cross’ spacious interior offers many of the same desirable features as its sedan and hatchback siblings. The all-new model can be outfitted with a power moonroof, as well as either single- or dual-zone automatic climate control, with all grades featuring standard heating and air conditioning vents for rear seat passengers.
A 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with lumbar and heated front seats, standard on XLE, put the driver in a comfortable and commanding position.
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 additional cupholders. To make access to the roomy cargo area even more convenient, the Corolla Cross has an available power liftgate with height adjustability.
Available accessories, including a roof rack with crossbars, an activity mount for carrying items such as bicycles, a tow hitch and all-weather floormats keep you equipped for any adventure.
The Corolla Cross is equipped with the Dynamic Force four cylinder, 2.0-liter DOHC 16-valve with Dual Variable Valve Timing (VVT-i) engine. That means 169 horsepower engine paired with CVT.
Corolla Cross’ 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.
The vast range of in-car entertainment and connected functionalities, including standard compatibility for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, will be sure to keep passengers engaged. Mobile devices will stay topped off through wireless charging (standard on LE and XLE), or through the conveniently located USB media port. LE and XLE grades offer two USB charging ports for rear seat passengers, welcoming all devices along for the drive!
The available Audio Plus multimedia with Remote Connect and a nine-speaker JBL sound system is the perfect complement to a road trip playlist. And when it’s time to turn on the tunes, Amazon Alexa connectivity keeps Amazon’s digital assistant just a question away. Other connected features include a standard three-month SiriusXM Platinum subscription to more than 300 channels accessible throughout the country.
XLE owners can get key info at a glance, courtesy of an available 7-inch Multi-Information Display with various vehicle and systems info to choose from.
