Over 55 million Toyota Corollas have been sold since its 1966 introduction, making it the most sold car worldwide, and a benchmark for dependability. The versatile new Corolla Cross lives up to that illustrious heritage with family-friendly practicality, advanced technology – including Toyota’s fifth generation hybrid system, a core element since the model’s 2022 launch – and Toyota T-Mate safety functions.

A refined new look has been tailored specifically for the preference of European customers. A honeycomb front grille not only makes a stylish, sophisticated impression, it also functions to enhance air flow to the engine. New adaptive high beam (AHS) technology on the High grade ensures optimum visibility while an LED light guide on the centre lamp and inner lens evenly illuminates the full surface and creates a striking, high-quality appearance. Redesigned rear lamps feature fins, which contribute to the vehicle's stability and control by improving aerodynamic performance. An embossed Corolla Cross rear logo emphasises a unique, stand-out identity while robust 18-inch alloy wheels generate a stronger stance.

Inside the spacious cabin, a modern, refreshed design incorporates a new gear shift knob and larger centre console, which brings practical updates like an additional smartphone storage area, sliding storage box and revised cup holder design. The latest wireless charging technology is included as standard. Android connectivity and charging speed have been substantially improved (1.5 times faster), now matching the Apple CarPlay levels.

The Toyota Smart Connect multimedia and infotainment package with 10.5-inch high-definition touchscreen is included as standard, while a 12.3-inch fully digital combimeter is standard on all grades in most Europe markets. Upgraded ambient lighting plus heated steering wheel and seat heating are offered on higher grades.

Passengers can enjoy a more comfortable, peaceful ride thanks to improvements in three distinct areas. A quieter cabin is achieved thanks to the use of high damping materials at the bond of the roof which reduces rain and road noise, while additional material on the rear ventilator area reduces noise and vibration for rear passengers. On higher grades, a new three-layer inner dash silencer minimises engine noise.

The Corolla Cross is offered in Hybrid 140 or Hybrid 200 specification, providing the versatility and efficiency of hybrid with a choice or performance levels, and offering a practical gateway to electrification which complements Toyota’s multi-pathway approach towards carbon neutrality. As well as the hybrid Corolla Cross, Toyota’s formidable C-segment SUV range also includes the Toyota C-HR – available as plug-in hybrid and hybrid – and the recently announced battery electric Toyota C-HR+.

In intelligent all-wheel-drive (AWD-i) specification, the latest Corolla Cross pioneers the new Snow Extra mode, which enhances stability and control on snow-covered roads. True to the SUV character of the Corolla Cross, Snow Extra mode keeps the vehicle on track during acceleration, deceleration, braking, cornering and lane changes by using the rear motor to prevent wheel spin and maintain grip, giving the driver intuitive control, even in harsh winter conditions.

In another milestone for the new Corolla Cross, a GR SPORT grade is introduced to the range for the first time, bringing a more agile, responsive and fun-to-drive experience, as well as distinctive visual details. Fully machined 19-inch black alloy wheels, dedicated front grille design and glossy black Toyota logo create a bold exterior look, available in the exclusive Storm Grey bi-tone colour scheme. Inside, seats upholstered in BRIN･NAUB®, a suede-like synthetic leather, features GR logos and emotive red stitching for a dynamic, sporty feel.

The suspension has been tuned and lowered by 10 mm for the GR SPORT grade, while power steering tuning and a paddle shift contribute to an engaging and exciting driving experience. The unique Sport Mode – implemented for the first time – enables faster acceleration response by increasing the engine idling speed, while deceleration is also optimised. When the driver lifts off the throttle, Sport Mode automatically enhances deceleration to achieve a sportier braking feel. For greater stability and control in winter conditions, Snow Extra mode is also included on the GR SPORT version.

An elevated level of safety and convenience comes as standard via Toyota T-Mate, which includes over-the-air updates. It combines the third generation of Toyota Safety Sense with additional advanced driving and parking assistance systems.

The new Corolla Cross will be available in European dealerships from summer 2025, with the GR SPORT grade available in autumn.

The all-new Corolla Cross is family practical C-SUV that completes the modern Corolla range, giving Toyota an even stronger presence in the European C-segment and the market’s widest range of SUV models. Its introduction alongside the established Corolla hatchback, sedan and Touring Sports shows that there truly is “a Corolla for everyone.”

Developed with Toyota’s TNGA philosophy, it is constructed on the well-proven GA-C platform and offers the essential qualities that have made the Corolla an enduring success. Corolla remains the world’s best-selling automotive nameplate, with more than 50 million global sales across 55 years and 12 generations.

The addition of the Corolla Cross supports Toyota’s sales ambitions in the highly competitive European C-segment. The company is targeting 400,000 annual sales, equivalent to a 9% segment share by 2025.

The new model benefits from the latest advances Toyota has made in hybrid performance, the application of digital technologies and the scope of its safety systems. T-Mate for Corolla Cross combines the latest generation Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) package, which for the 1^st time can be updated Over-The-Air and other active driving and parking assistance systems to not only make driving easier and safer, but also to protect all vehicle occupants as well as other road users in various scenarios.

This is the first model featuring the fifth generation of Toyota’s hybrid electric technology which delivers both more power and greater efficiency. The drivetrain – offered with 1.8 and 2.0-litre hybrid petrol engines – has been calibrated for more rewarding driveability matching European drive scenarios, with a closer and more natural relationship between the driver’s use of the throttle and the car’s acceleration. The proven dynamic quality of the GA-C platform adds to the driving rewards.

The 1.8-litre version* is exclusively front-wheel drive; the 2.0-litre offers the option of Toyota’s intelligent all-wheel drive (AWD-i) which has been upgraded with a more powerful (40 DIN hp and 84 Nm) rear electric motor to provide even more secure performance when cornering and pulling away on low-grip surfaces.

The Corolla Cross will appeal to young families who seek a practical and versatile vehicle that is easy to live with day-to-day. The exterior projects a robust Toyota SUV look while the interior is a light and open space. The boot is capacious and designed for easy access.

The model marks the first appearance of Toyota’s new 12.3-inch fully digital combimeter (standard on all versions) which the driver can personalise both for content and appearance. Similarly, there is also a new Toyota Smart Connect multimedia and infotainment system with faster response, a 12.3-inch touchscreen display, access to connected services and easy smartphone integration, provided as standard.

European sales of Corolla Cross will commence in Autumn 2022 depending on the market.

* 1.8-litre version initially only available in Israel and Turkey.

HYBRID ELECTRIC TECHNOLOGY AND TOYOTA’S COMMITMENT TO CARBON NEUTRALITY

Toyota is committed to carbon neutrality with the elimination of CO₂ emissions from the vehicles it manufacturers and its global business operations. To achieve this ambitious goal, it recognises that a single solution is not the answer: diverse options need to be provided to suit the diverse needs and circumstances of people around the world.

Issues such as the availability of energy sources, in particular renewables, local energy infrastructure, affordability and individual mobility requirements need to be addressed. To help ensure that meaningful emissions reductions can be delivered on the journey to zero carbon, Toyota has a multi-technology strategy, applying the leadership in electrified vehicle engineering it has established over the past quarter of a century.

Toyota has made huge investments in battery technology, not just to power a new generation of battery electric vehicles, such as the new bZ4X SUV, but also to support alternative low carbon solutions including the latest generation self-charging hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) such as the new Corolla Cross. These affordable and accessible models have an important role to play in helping maintain and accelerate the pace of CO₂ reductions as society transitions to zero emission mobility. By 2025 Toyota intends HEVs and PHEVs to account for 80% of its new vehicle sales in Western Europe, with 10% being zero emission vehicles (ZEVs). By 2030, the aim is for ZEVs to command 50% of sales in the region and for Toyota’s manufacturing plants to be carbon neutral; five years later Toyota’s target is for 100% of new car sales to be ZEVs.

COROLLA CROSS: SUV DESIGN FOR EVERYDAY PRACTICALITY

Exterior design, tailored for Europe

The Corolla Cross projects a powerful, robust SUV look that has been tailored specifically to appeal to European customers.

At the front, its solid character and Toyota SUV family status are witnessed in the prominent double trapezoidal grille and lower bumper treatment. Slim, bi-LED headlights are provided on all grades, with Mid+ and High grade additionally equipped with sequential turn indicators and LED light guides. At the rear, the light clusters have a strong three-dimensional quality, wrapping around the rear wings and back door.

The robust SUV character is further expressed by the flared wings which contrast with the tapering body, while the clear cabin profile expresses the car’s interior spaciousness. Roof rails and rear privacy glass are included in the Mid+ and High-grade specifications.

The Corolla Cross’ dimensions place it at the heart of the highly competitive European C-SUV segment; within Toyota’s model range, its sits between the C-HR and RAV4 in terms of size. The vehicle is 4,460 mm long, 1,825 mm wide, 1,620 mm high and has a 2,640 mm wheelbase.

The wheel designs include a 17-inch alloy with a silver finish and tool-like graphic that accentuates the rim, adding the strong design impact. The 18-inch wheels have a contrast bright machined and dark grey finish and a design that entwines the rim and spokes.

Interior design focused on practicality

The interior is designed for everyday practicality. It is a light, open space with good visibility for everyone on board, with large side windows and high driver’s eye-point. The open feel can be enhanced with a panoramic roof with electric blind, offered as an option on all grades.

The load space dimensions are generous with access made easy thanks to a wide opening, 720 mm load height (one of the lowest among the car’s main competitors) and the option of a power back door with kick sensor. Load capacity is 433 litres, extending to a maximum 1,337 litres with the rear seats folded.

There is generous headroom throughout and the large door apertures make access comfortable, for example if you need to lift a child seat in or out of the car. This family-friendly thinking has also been applied to the rear doors which have a curved profile so there is more knee room to reach in to attend to a youngster. Adult rear seat passengers will appreciate the recline adjustment for the seatbacks.

There are multiple storage points throughout the cabin, together with a USB-A port and wireless charger in the front console and two USB-C ports for rear passengers.

FIFTH GENERATION TOYOTA HYBRID ELECTRIC POWERTRAINS

The Corolla Cross is the first model globally to use the fifth generation of Toyota’s self-charging hybrid electric system. A programme of constant improvement in the 25 years since the technology made its market debut has produced a system that is more powerful and more rewarding to drive, yet also more efficient in terms of fuel economy and emissions.

Performance

The new model is available with 1.8* and 2.0-litre powertrains with front-wheel drive, plus optional intelligent all-wheel drive (AWD-i) for the 2.0-litre. The 1.8 system benefits from a 15% increase in output, to 140 DIN hp/103 kW, giving 0-100 km/h acceleration in 9.9 seconds with 112 – 121 g/km CO₂ emissions. Maximum power for the 2.0 system is up 8% to 197 DIN hp/145 kW, cutting the 0-100 km/h to 7,6 seconds for FWD and to 7,5 seconds for AWD while keeping CO₂ emissions within a range between 113 to 120 g/km and between 119 to 127 g/km with AWD-i.

* 1.8-litre version initially only available in Israel and Turkey.

Hybrid system design

The changes introduced for the fifth generation hybrid electric system include components that weigh less and are more compact – qualities that help maintain efficiency in tandem with the increase in output – but which maintain the reliability that has become a hallmark of Toyota’s technology.

The system uses a new power control unit (PCU) reduces the level of electrical losses in the system (-14% 1.8, -6% 2.0) helping maintain fuel efficiency. The unit also runs quieter and, in the AWD-i model, incorporates the rear PCU, saving further space and weight.

The PCU is installed directly above a new transaxle that is 15% lighter than before thanks to the use of new materials and which uses new, compact, high-output drive motors. Using low-viscosity oil reduces internal friction and adds to the all-round improvement in efficiency.

Hybrid battery

The new lithium-ion hybrid battery is smaller and lighter but has a higher output – qualities that contribute to both the car’s dynamic performance and its fuel efficiency. Compared to the battery pack deployed in the previous system, weight is down by -14% and output up by 14%. Toyota has optimised the battery’s cooling system to secure quieter performance and longer battery life.

A more rewarding driving experience

The advances made with the fifth generation hybrid system include improvements in driveability. Notably, the driver experiences a better relationship between their use of the throttle and vehicle response with more consistent, predictable and controllable performance. A better acceleration feel makes for more confident driving.

This has been achieved by calibrating the throttle better to suit familiar European driving scenarios, such as stop-start traffic and frequent changes in speed limits. The acceleration also adapts to up and downhill driving, synchronising the engine speed with the driver’s inputs to give a more natural feel and easier drive. Running at lower rpm also makes the system quieter when driving at highway speeds.

More powerful intelligent all-wheel drive – AWD-i

The intelligent all-wheel drive system available for the 2.0-litre Corolla Cross is an evolution of the technology featured on the Toyota Prius and Yaris Cross models, with a six-fold increase in the rear electric motor’s power to 41 DIN hp and an impressive improvement of its maximum torque output to 84 Nm.

The system provides optimal drive torque distribution between the front and rear axles in line with the conditions, giving secure pulling away on slippery surfaces or driving over lose ground, and more stable performance when cornering, lane-changing or accelerating from low speeds. In normal driving, power is directed only to the front wheels, preserving fuel efficiency.

Suspension, braking and steering

The electric power steering has been calibrated with a focus on initial reaction to a driver’s input to give a light, crisp feel. Control and assist torque are provided in line with the degree of steering force.

The suspension systems – front MacPherson struts and rear trailing wishbones – are optimised to for ride comfort with less shock and vibration when travelling over uneven surfaces.

The new braking system balances efficiency with a rigid feel. Disc brakes are featured front and rear.

TOYOTA T-MATE SAFETY AND DRIVER ASSISTANCE

Safety is a top priority for both Toyota and its customers – in particular the motorists with families who are the key market for the new Corolla Cross. This new model demonstrates the increasing breadth of safety and driver assistance provided by Toyota T-Mate, from greater accident risk detection and active safety functions provided by the latest generation of Toyota Safety Sense (TSS), to help when driving or parking. Should the vehicle suffer an impact, its highly rigid construction and comprehensive passive safety features provide robust protection for everyone on board.

Enhanced Toyota Safety Sense (TSS)

The latest developments of Toyota Safety Sense have brought significant improvements to many of its accident detection systems and added new functions that increase safety and provide additional peace of mind. With the benefit of over-the-air updates, software can now be upgraded automatically, with no need for the car to be taken into a service centre.

The Corolla Cross is one of the first models to adopt a new front camera and radar that cover a much wider field ahead of the car, with extended reach both left/right and up/down. The distance of forward detection has been doubled compared to the scope of the previous hardware. There is also earlier detection of objects close to the car and a wider range of potential hazards can be picked out, including motorcycles and roadside objects.

This increased detection capability makes the Pre-Collision System (PCS) effective in more urban traffic scenarios, including recognition of potential head-to-head collisions. The Intersection Collision Avoidance Support can now identify approaching traffic across two lanes, as well as cyclists and vehicles cutting in suddenly from the side.

Improvement to the Emergency Steering Assist (ESA) helps the driver keep the car within its traffic line when trying to avoid a hazard such as a pedestrian, cyclist, parked car, or – thanks to the detection enhancements – motorcyclist. There’s also a safeguard against sudden, unintended use of the accelerator when moving at low speed, with a new Acceleration Suppression function.

Full Range Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) has been revised to give faster response to operate in a way that feels more natural to the driver. For example, thanks to earlier detection, when vehicles enter the car’s lane there is more gradual deceleration. The driver can select a longer vehicle-to-vehicle setting to establish a more comfortable gap and the ACC’s curve speed reduction function will activate earlier, giving smoother speed adjustment when driving through a bend.

Other improvements include Overtake Prevention Support, which prevents unintentional overtaking on the wrong side of a vehicle (“undertaking”); and Preliminary Deceleration/Turn Signal Linked Control, which helps the driver safely re-join the traffic lane in-between cars.

Lane Trace Assist (LTA) has been also improved to act more naturally.

First, its Lane Departure Alert (LDA) w/Steering Control has been adjusted so that it recognises when the driver is trying to avoid an obstacle and will temporarily cancel lane departure prevention, if it judges that the driver has intentionally crossed a lane marking to avoid an obstacle such as pedestrian or other road users.

Secondly, its Lane Centring function has been improved, so that when passing by other road users, the car will re-position itself to put safe distance versus vehicles driving on adjacent lane, in case they drive close to own car – that will give the extra peace of mind, when using the function on the highway.

When the ACC and LTA are operating, Emergency Driving Stop System (EDSS) will monitor driver inputs; if these stop over a certain time, it will sound a warning and, if the driver doesn’t respond, bring the car slowly to a stop, activate the hazard light and unlock the doors to allow easy access to emergency services.

There are also improvements in Road Sign Assist (RSA). It can now be used to easily adjust the speed limiter to match the traffic sign info. This can be useful when driving near schools or pedestrian zones.

For the 1^st time, TSS can be updated Over-the-Air with latest features and improvements. One of the main features that will be enabled using OTA is Proactive Driving Assist (PDA). Proactive Driving Assist (PDA)** will include Obstacle Anticipation Assist (OAA), Deceleration Assist (DA) and Steering Assist (SA) which

Obstacle Anticipation Assist (OAA) detects the danger to obstacles at an early stage. And it is a function that supports driving without getting too close to obstacles so as not to increase the risk by providing steering and/or braking support.

Deceleration Assist (DA) supports smooth deceleration when accelerator is released, under the condition of necessity of deceleration, such as preceding vehicle or approaching to the curve.

Steering Assist (SA) detects the curve ahead and adjusts the steering assist force to facilitate proper steering.

**Will be available with the 2023 OTA update

T-Mate parking and driving assistance

The Corolla Cross’ Toyota T-Mate functions help make parking and driving easier and safer. The High grade is featuring the semi-autonomous Toyota Teammate Advanced Park system, which uses an array of 4 Panoramic View Monitor cameras and 12 ultrasonic sensors to move the vehicle smoothly into a parking space, with the driver only required to check the surroundings and operate the shift when prompted. The system can memorise regularly used spots, such as home and office parking, and is able to manoeuvre front-first in and out of series parking spaces.

T-Mate supports the driver with functions such as the Panoramic View Monitor (PVM), giving an all-round view of the vehicle’s immediate surroundings when manoeuvring at low speed; Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert with Automatic Braking (RCTAB), warning of traffic and hazards when overtaking or reversing; and Rear Seat Reminder System (RSRS) – an alert that sounds, if driver opened the rear door before driving off to prompt them to check, if nothing or no one is left behind before exiting the car – a child or item of luggage for example.

There is an extra layer of protection when getting out the car with Safe Exit Assist (SEA). This uses the Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) radar to check for any traffic (including cyclists) approaching from the rear, flashing a warning light if anything is detected. If an attempt is made to open a door, further warning lights flash in the multi-information display and a buzzer is sounded.  

Passive safety

If the car is involved in a collision, robust protection is provided by a highly rigid body structure – a key benefit from the TNGA-C platform – that effectively absorbs and channels impact forces. Strategic use is made of strong but lightweight ultra-high-tensile materials throughout the body and reinforcements are provided in key areas, strengthened with multiple weld points.

The cabin is equipped as standard with eight SRS airbags, including a front centre airbag that deploys from the side of the passenger seat to help prevent contact between front occupants during a collision.

DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES FOR AN ENHANCED USER EXPERIENCE

The Toyota’s TNGA-C platform has allowed the Corolla Cross to adopt a new electronics platform – one that’s also being featured in the forthcoming revised Corolla hatchback, sedan and Touring Sports models. This is key to the car’s powerful digital package, supporting the car’s fifth generation hybrid system, latest generation Toyota Safety Sense features, the new digital combimeter, the Toyota Smart Connect multimedia and information system and the data communications module (DCM).

New digital cockpit

The Corolla Cross is the first Toyota model to use a new 12.3-inch digital combimeter in the driver’s instrument binnacle, provided as standard on all versions.

Its ergonomic design maximises the space available with high-visibility, easy-to-read information and intuitive control. Flexibility is designed-in, so the driver can adjust the content, including the number of dials and the information shown in each section of the central multi-information display. The combimeter can also be personalised with different themes: Casual, Smart, Tough Sporty. Changes are simple to make, using toggle switches on the steering wheel.

Toyota Motor Europe was closely involved in the combimeter’s development, to ensure it meets the tastes and requirements of European customers.

Toyota Smart Connect multimedia

Connectivity has become a prime customer requirement, with people wanting a seamless, always-connected experience when in their car. The new Toyota Smart Connect system addresses this priority with a faster, more responsive multimedia system that is future-proofed with over-the-air updates to expand functionality or introduce new services.

Featured as standard on all Corolla Cross models, it comes with a 10.5-inch high-definition touchscreen display. The package includes cloud-based navigation with real-time traffic event information, an on-board voice agent; and smartphone integration via (wireless) Apple CarPlay and (wired connection) Android Auto. Four years’ subscription to services is included the Corolla Cross’ sale price.

There is also the option of Toyota Smart Connect + which uses an even faster processor, and provides an embedded navigation system, plus useful functions including fixed speed camera locations and weather alerts.

MyT app

The MyT app gives access to useful information such as driving data, hybrid coaching and car status, plus a “find my car” function and remote activation of the hazard lights. With the Smart Connect Pack, additional remote functions are added, including door locking/unlocking and window opening/closing, together with remote operation of the climate control to defrost the screen, heat or cool the cabin prior to the journey, and active steering wheel and seat heaters.

European sales of Corolla Cross will commence in Autumn 2022 depending on the market.

The all-new Toyota Corolla Cross brings C-segment SUV space, practicality, and a strong and solid design to the world’s best-selling model range for the first time.

Not only does the new SUV complete the family of Corolla derivatives -sitting alongside the hatchback, Touring Sports and sedan, but it also completes Toyota’s SUV line-up, which now offers customers the widest range in the European market.

Based on Toyota’s TNGA philosophy, the Corolla Cross features the latest GA-C platform developments, which bring benefits to the vehicle’s styling, packaging, technology and driving dynamics.

DESIGN & PACKAGING

The new Toyota SUV’s powerful, robust styling has been specifically tailored to the European market, with a unique combination of headlamp and rear lamp cluster complimenting the double-trapezoid front grille, flared 3-dimensional fenders and tapered cabin of an urban-tough SUV.

The Corolla Cross is 4460mm long, 1825mm wide, 1620mm high and has a wheelbase of 2640mm. It sits between the Toyota C-HR and the RAV4 at the heart of the highly competitive European C-SUV segment, offering the comfort, practicality and versatility essential to active families with young children.

The interior offers outstanding visibility for all occupants, ample front and rear seat head- and legroom, large rear door openings, an increase in light and the feeling of spaciousness provided by a panoramic sunroof. The loadspace combines an easy-access low lip height with wide door opening which makes it convenient for the loading of large objects like a prams or bicycles.

NEW 5^th GENERATION HYBRID SYSTEM

The Corolla Cross is the first Toyota model globally to benefit from the new fifth-generation hybrid system.

Toyota’s 5th generation, self-charging, full hybrid FWD (front-) or AWD-i (intelligent-all-wheel drive) powertrain builds on its predecessor with more torque, more electrical power, greater efficiency and increased driving pleasure.

The transaxle has been re-engineered along with new lubrication and oil distribution systems that use low-viscosity oil. This contributes to efficiency and power improvements thanks to reduced electrical and mechanical losses.

Featuring the latest developments in Li-ion batteries, the new battery pack system is more powerful and 40% lighter than before.

Both motor and engine output have improved, resulting in a total system output increase of more than 8%.

The FWD 2.0 litre hybrid powertrain generates 146kW/197hp, delivering 0-100km/h acceleration in 8.1 seconds.

The AWD-i variant features an additional, powerful electric motor on the rear axle which develops and impressive 30,6 kW.

The rear motor automatically engages to give greater traction, driving confidence and peace of mind in low-grip conditions.

Thus equipped, the AWD-i Corolla Cross shares the FWD version’s acceleration performance.

The 5th generation hybrid system’s drivability has also been further improved. The system is now even more linear, predictable and controllable under acceleration, with vehicle speed more closely matching engine revolutions to provide a more intuitive and natural driving experience.

This was achieved by recalibrating the relationship between the driver’s accelerator pedal input and the actual response from the powertrain.

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES

Numerous advanced technologies equip the all-new Corolla Cross. It benefits from an upgraded HMI (Human Machine Interface) with the latest multimedia technology, and the European-specific dashboard layout features both an all-new, multi-configuration, 12.3-inch driver’s digital cockpit and a 10.5-inch central multimedia display

The 12.3-inch digital cockpit features all-new hardware and software. The largest in the segment, it offers maximum space for content, wide flexibility, and customisation and personalisation options such as fuel consumption, hybrid system operation and navigation.

With a new faster processor, the latest High Definition, 10.5-inch touchscreen Multimedia infotainment system features wireless Apple CarPlay and wired Android Auto connectivity, and a Toyota Smart Connect package.

Customers can now experience the convenience of Cloud navigation, road events, a voice agent and over-the-air updates. Moreover, a suite of connected services from MyT App include driving analytics, car location, and even remote-control features such as climate schedule and door locking.

SAFETY

Finally, the all-new Corolla Cross is equipped with T-Mate, which combines the latest generation Toyota Safety Sense package with other active driving and parking assistance systems to not only make driving easier and safer, but also to protect all vehicle occupants as well as other road users in various scenarios.

For the first time, the Pre-Collision System offers Acceleration Suppression at low speed and Intersection Cut-In Traffic Assist, as well as improved Oncoming Traffic detection and Intersection Turn Assist.

Other new Toyota Safety Sense functions include an Emergency Driving Stop System (EDSS), and Over The Air (OTA) updates which keep the functions up-to-date and add new ones during the vehicle’s life. In addition, improvements have been made to the Full Speed Range Adaptive Cruise Control (FSR ACC), and both the Lane Trace Assist (LTA) and Road Sign Assist (RSA) systems.

T-Mate offers driving assistance through a Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) with Safety Exit Assist (SEA), an Auto High Beam System (AHB), parking assistance with Toyota Teammate Advanced Park, a Panoramic View Monitor (PVM), Rear Cross Traffic Alert with Automatic Braking (RCTAB) and Intelligent Clearance Sonar (ICS).

Adding even higher levels of passive safety to the new Corolla Cross’s high rigidity GA-C platform, a new front centre airbag is designed to prevent front seat occupants from making contact with each other in the event of a side-on collision.

Since its introduction in 1966, more than 50 million Corollas have been sold around the world. The new Corolla Cross will further strengthen Toyota’s presence in the C-segment and support the company’s ambition goal of 400,000 sales -equating to a 9% market share of Europe’s most competitive automotive category- by 2025.

With the practicality of a spacious SUV and the dynamism of the most advanced hybrid technology, connectivity and safety systems, the all-new Corolla-Cross helps modern family to enjoy their daily challenges.
