For the present mannequin 12 months, the Corolla Cross begins at $25,485, whereas the hybrid begins at $29,845 (each costs embrace vacation spot charges). Toyota says the 2026 Corolla Cross will arrive at dealerships “later this 12 months.”
The adjustments embrace no mechanical upgrades. However they assist distinguish fuel and hybrid fashions.
Gasoline-powered Corolla Cross fashions get what Toyota calls a “broad, rugged grille design.” Wider chain-link mesh and a thick black band holding the Toyota emblem freshen the look.
Hybrid variations, as an alternative, get a color-matched grille flanked by new vertical air vents.
Inside, buyers acquire the choice of a bigger, 10.5-inch multimedia touchscreen and a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. “Moreover, a Chilly-Climate package deal with a heated steering wheel and heated entrance seats for further consolation on chilly days will now be normal on the XLE AWD and Hybrid XSE grades (accessible on LE AWD and SE),” Toyota says.
