Overall
Looking exactly like a cute pug, the 2022 Corolla cross has stepped into the fierce miniSUV sales market in the United States. In the cabin is a 169-horsepower four-cylinder engine, available in both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations; the hybrid model will be unveiled in 2023. The Corolla cross fills the gap between the big one's FL and the smaller CHR, with its competitors being Kia's Seltos, Jeep's Guide and Nissan's Rogue Sport. The interior of the Corolla cross is heavily modeled after the Corolla and Corolla hatchback, but it has slightly larger storage space and offers a higher driving position.
Where is the 2022 Corolla cross?
Despite bearing the Corolla name, the SUV's profile and higher ground clearance make the Corolla cross more than just a typical compact hatchback. Hybrid models for 2023 may include a four-wheel drive configuration.
Not recommended for top-of-the-line models, the XLE model offers a lot of SUV buyers want the configuration, including a ten-way ESC main driver seat, dual-zone automatic air conditioning, front seat heating, blind spot monitoring, front and rear parking radar, and handsome 18-inch alloy wheels. The standard front drive, optional four wheel drive needs to add $1300
Engine, gearbox, performance
All Corolla crosses offer a 169 hp 2.0 naturally aspirated engine and A CVT transmission; front drive as standard, optional 4WD. On the first test drive, we complained about lazy acceleration and a buzzing engine, especially in the high-spin zone. At the time of field testing, the all-wheel drive model achieved a weak 0-60 mph acceleration of 9.2 seconds. When the 2023 hybrid model is launched, we hope that the power can be enhanced and the driving quality can be more refined. The Corolla cross ride experience is generally acceptable, and consumers looking for comfort will be happy with it.
Fuel economy and real fuel consumption
The EPA evaluated that the pre-drive version of the Corolla cross achieved good results in urban fuel consumption of 31 mpg (about 7.6% of 100 km) and 33 mpg (about 7.1% of 100 km of fuel consumption) at high speed; the fuel consumption of the four-wheel drive version increased, respectively, 29 (about 8.1% of 100 km) and 32 mpg (about 7.35% of 100 km). In our 75 mph fuel consumption test, the Corolla cross's fuel consumption and EPA deviated slightly, to 30mpg (about 7.8% per 100 kilometers).
Interior, comfort and space
Motorists familiar with The Corolla will have a "home away" feel to the interior of the Corolla Cross. The layout of the dashboard, the interior materials, and the conveniences are all highly similar to the car version of the Corolla. However, the larger size of the Corolla cross creates more space for passengers – especially for rear passengers – while also bringing more trunk space. The low-end configuration is relatively modest, and the XLE version has a beautiful artificial leather as the interior wrapping material, while it is equipped with heated front seats, leather gear handles and the rear center armrest.
Vehicles and connectivity
The dashboard of the Corolla cross is lined with a square display with some shortcuts on it. This setting is applied to many current Corolla models, and the size is 7-8 inches. The Corolla cross uses the current combination as a car, which, while not smart and modern enough, is straightforward enough to operate. Apple carplay, android auto, Sirius XM satellite broadcasters are all standard, but wireless phone charging, rear usb charging port and JBL speaker are optional.
Safety configuration and driver assistance
Based on the Corolla cross, Toyota will continue to feature driver assistance systems as standard on all models, including adaptive cruise, automatic emergency braking, and lane departure warning. For more information on the Corolla cross crash test, visit the National Highway Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Highway Safety Insurance Agency (IIHS). Key security features include:
Automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection system as standard
Lane departure warnings are standard
Adaptive cruise comes standard
Translator's note: The Corolla cross has been domestically produced by GAC Toyota and named "Fenglanda" (GAC's name for suVs is really magical.. All kinds of Landa, it is clear that you want to rub the popularity of Highlander), the powertrain part and the interior part of this translation can be referenced, and the car machine part is basically no reference value (domestic Toyota gives you a general carplay or a better car machine? Think too much... But based on this car seems to be in Southeast Asia and Taiwan Province seems to be selling quite well, after coming to China, it is estimated that it will have a certain impact on small SUVs at the same price point (especially in the past two years, Toyota has played the TNGA brand.... ）
