Toyota has confirmed the specification and pricing of the Corolla Cross small SUV has arrived in Australian showrooms with the choice of petrol and hybrid powertrains and two-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.

The Corolla Cross newcomer will sit alongside the C-HR in the Toyota SUV line-up and between the smaller Yaris Cross and the larger RAV4.

Toyota Australia sales, marketing and franchise operations VP Sean Hanley says the combination of connected technology, flexible packaging and hybrid performance would help set it apart in the small SUV segment.

2022 Toyota Corolla Cross Corolla Cross Atmos AWD hybrid (l), Corolla Cross GX 2WD petrol (c) and Corolla Cross GXL AWD hybrid (r).

“Toyota Australia is thrilled to expand our SUV line-up with the addition of the Corolla Cross,” he says.

“It offers the richest suite of active safety and Connected Services technologies of any Toyota model to date, with a range of powertrains and trim levels certain to provide plenty of appeal.”

Built on the same TNGA-C platform as its Corolla hatch and sedan siblings, the Corolla Cross offers significantly higher ride height, interior flexibility and boot space up to 436 litres (GX & GXL petrol) with the rear seat backs in place. 

The Corolla Cross range opens from $33,000 plus on-road costs for the petrol-powered GX variant, with three trim levels on offer consisting of GX, GXL and the flagship Atmos.

Customers can also choose the GX with a hybrid powertrain for $2,500 extra, with the GX 2WD hybrid priced at $35,500.

The GX is distinguished on the outside by 17-inch alloy wheels, LED head and tail-lights, automatic high beam, daytime running lights, heated and auto retractable door mirrors and a shark fin antenna.

Inside, GX grades come standard with automatic climate control, a 7.0-inch digital multi information display (MID), electric park brake, smart entry and start, fabric seats, 60:40 split-folding rear seats and a luggage cover.

The Corolla Cross is the first Toyota in Australia to feature the new-generation Toyota multimedia system.

The system can be controlled via a large 8.0-inch touchscreen display or steering wheel controls, and offers wireless Apple CarPlay, wired Android Auto, DAB+ digital radio and sound reproduction from a six-speaker audio system.

Building on the infotainment system, the Corolla Cross features the most comprehensive Toyota Connected Services functionality of any Toyota model to date, using a data communication module (DCM) inside the vehicle and the myToyota Connect smartphone app to provide real-time remote information and convenience for owners.

Through the myToyota Connect app, owners can undertake such things as remotely check the status of the doors and lights, access information such as the vehicle’s last known location and recent trips, or start the engine or climate control.

The upgraded Toyota Safety Sense suite of driver assistance features offers new technologies including lane change assist and safe exit assist.

The mid-range GXL is priced from $36,750 for the petrol, $39,250 for the 2WD hybrid and $42,250 for the AWD hybrid, that features an additional electric motor to drive the rear axle for added traction.

GXL grades add high-grade LED headlights, front fog lights, roof rails and rear privacy glass. 

Inside, GXL gains combination leather-accented and fabric upholstery, leather-accented shift knob and steering wheel, electrochromatic rearview mirror, dual-zone climate control and two extra USB-C ports in the rear of the centre console. 

The upgraded multimedia system features a larger 10.5-inch touchscreen display and gains satellite navigation as standard, with extra safety features including a panoramic view monitor and parking support brake.

The flagship Atmos is priced from $43,550 for the petrol, $46,050 for the 2WD hybrid and $49,050 for the AWD hybrid, and is differentiated externally by 18-inch alloys, a panoramic moon roof and a power rear hatch with kick sensor.

Additional interior features include leather-accented upholstery, heated front seats and steering wheel, eight-way adjustable powered driver’s seat, a full digital 12.3-inch instrument cluster display, nanoe TMX air conditioning technology, illuminated entry and a wireless phone charger.

Safety equipment is boosted further with the addition of an enhanced panoramic view monitor, Advanced Park Assist and pedestrian detection for the parking support brake system.

Power for the petrol variants comes courtesy of a 2.0-litre inline four-cylinder engine developing 126kW at 6600rpm and 202Nm from 4400-4900rpm, driving the front wheels via a sequential ten-speed continuously variable transmission (CVT).

Hybrid versions employ a 2.0-litre Atkinson cycle petrol engine teamed to an electric motor on the front axle for a combined maximum power output of 146kW and a 4.3l/100km fuel consumption on the combined cycle test. 

Hybrid AWD variants add a second electric drive motor on the rear axle while fuel consumption remains as low as 4.4l/100km on the combined cycle test.

Eight exterior paint colours are available on the Corolla Cross, consisting of Glacier White, Frosted White, Stunning Silver, Eclipse Black, Atomic Rush, Lunar Blue, Moondust Grey and Jungle Khaki.

The Corolla Cross is covered by Toyota Warranty Advantage, which offers up to 5-year unlimited kilometre coverage extending to seven-years on engine and driveline, with capped-price servicing for the first five years/75,000km and each 12-month/15,000km service costing $230.
