2024 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid test drive

An extremely fuel-efficient powertrain, a sporty exterior, and lots of cargo space are just the basics of what the 2024 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid offers for an affordable price. The reliable subcompact SUV is fully equipped and ready to serve as your daily driver, here in El Paso.

Toyota’s Next-Gen Hybrid Powertrain

The Corolla Cross Hybrid is built on Toyota’s new TNGA platform, which is known for its exceptional driving dynamics and fuel-efficient powertrains. Propelling the SUV is a 2.0L four-cylinder engine, cranking out 169 hp and 151 lb-ft of torque and supplemented by three electric motors. Combined, the powertrain produces 196 hp. The on-demand all-wheel drive (AWD) system and electronic CVT with available paddle shifters make urban driving more engaging.

Outstanding Fuel Economy

Even among hybrids, the Corolla Cross Hybrid achieves elite fuel economy and extremely low emissions (SULEV 30). EPA estimates for the SUV are at 45 mpg city, 38 mpg highway, and 42 mpg combined. On top of its three electric motors and electronic transmission, the SUV benefits from the TNGA-C platform, which reduces the hybrid’s weight to 3340 lbs, giving it an excellent power-to-weight ratio and saving fuel.

Unique Sporty Design

Black rocker body panels, black overfenders, and all-black badging enhance the Corolla Cross’ exterior. The front fascia features an aggressive look with a sporty grille and stylish bumper under a smoked Toyota emblem. The SUV rides on sport 17-inch wheels, which can be swapped for 18-inch alloy wheels wrapped in performance tires. Upgrading to the Hybrid XSE trim level gives the Corolla Cross color-keyed outside mirrors, LED fog lights, black roof rails, and chrome side-window frame molding for a more sophisticated appearance.

Plenty of Cabin Space

The SUV’s roomy interior offers a large cargo area and seating space for five, with up to 42.9 inches of legroom in the front row. You can store all your luggage behind the rear seats within the 21.5 cubic feet of cargo space. To dramatically increase the available volume, you can fold the 40/60 split-fold second-row seats.

Complete Suite of Toyota Safety Sense 3.0

The Corolla Cross hybrid is equipped with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, which includes a host of driver-assistive technology. Proactive driving assist, steering assist, lane tracing assist, road sign assist, and radar cruise control are standard on the SUV. Cruising on highways and navigating cities are safer with the SUV’s built-in technology, such as a pre-collision safety system, pedestrian detection system, lane departure warning, and brake assist.
