The minimum turning radius of the Corolla Cross is just 5.2 meters *9, ranking among the smallest in its class, facilitating maneuvers on narrow roads and in car parks.Īll grades of the all-new Corolla Cross come equipped as standard with the latest edition of Toyota Safety Sense, providing driving support in all aspects of everyday usage scenarios.

E-Four grades are fitted with a double wishbone setup in the rear, which has been continually developed over previous generations of Corollas, with optimized arm mounting points for exceptional stability and responsiveness. 2WD grades feature newly developed torsion beams and large rubber bushings in the rear, a combination that delivers outstanding road-holding on uneven roads, coupled with a luxurious ride. As for suspension, MacPherson struts are used for the front on all Corolla Cross grades. Sound-absorbing materials have been optimally distributed to reduce engine noise and road chatter, and help improve the comfort and quietness of its cabin. The Corolla Cross combines a fully developed GA-C platform with a lightweight, high-rigidity body frame to provide nimble and stable steering in a manner that belies its tall vehicle height.

It's not as restful inside as you might expect, with noticeable road roar on course-chip surfaces and quite a din from the ventilation fan when the AC is on full blast. All the fun has been tuned out of the chassis, and the soft ride can border on floaty - but it certainly does a good job of filtering out road shocks and vibrations. It does that well because it's easy to drive and the suspension is set up with an absorbent ride in mind. The Corolla Cross' road manners will not leave a lasting impression on you unless you prioritize comfort and driving ease above all else. The weak and whiny base 2.0-liter engine, forgettable on-road dynamics, and spoil-sport CVT conspire against Toyota's high-riding Corolla, especially as it comes up against tough competition such as the Kia Seltos, Mazda CX-30, and a bevy of Korean rivals.

Alternatively, there is a more expensive hybrid with a handy 194-hp coupled to standard AWD. It's a shame, then, that it has to make do with an anemic 169-hp 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine. The Corolla Cross borrows a lot from the Corolla but comes with a higher ride height, more cargo space, available AWD, and the cool factor associated with crossovers. In fact, the Corolla Cross will soon have to fill the shoes of the CH-R as well, with that car being discontinued. The next step up used to be the RAV4, but since last year, Toyota has inserted the Corolla Cross into the space above the CH-R and below the RAV4 - and it's available in both ICE and hybrid derivatives.

Crossovers are big business in the USA and Toyota has such an entry in every market niche, starting with the tiny CH-R.
