If you are looking for a vehicle that combines efficiency, style, performance, and technology, consider the Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid. This is the latest addition to the Corolla family, and it offers a lot of benefits that can enhance your lifestyle. Whether you are a college professor like me, who needs a reliable and comfortable ride to work and campus events, or a travel enthusiast who loves to explore new places and cultures, the Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid can be your perfect companion.
The Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid's efficiency not only helps further Toyota's commitment to a carbon-neutral future, but it does so in style. Value-priced and packed with features not typically found in a small crossover, Corolla Cross hits the sweet spot with the engaging driving experience of a small car and the functionality of a larger crossover. Arriving in US dealerships in June 2023, Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid will have a starting manufacturer's suggested retail price of $27,970.
As someone who appreciates good design and engineering, I was impressed by the Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid's sporty and elegant exterior. It has a distinctive front grille and bumper design that sets it apart from its gas sibling, as well as available two-toned paint and 18-inch alloy wheels that add some flair. The revised TNGA-C platform also gives it a higher line-of-sight and 8 inches of ground clearance, which are useful for navigating different terrains and weather conditions.
The Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid is not just about looks, though. It also delivers on performance and efficiency. It has a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired with an electric motor and a 4 kWh battery pack that produce a combined 196 horsepower. It also has a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that optimizes power delivery and fuel economy. According to Toyota, the Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid can achieve 45 mpg in the city, 38 mpg on the highway, and 42 mpg combined. That means you can save money on gas and reduce your carbon footprint while enjoying a smooth and responsive ride.
The Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid also has plenty of technology features that make driving more convenient and enjoyable. It has an updated 8-inch multimedia touchscreen display that supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility and an available Qi wireless charging pad for your smartphone. It also has an available JBL premium audio system that delivers crisp and clear sound quality. For safety and peace of mind, the Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid comes with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 (TSS 3.0), which includes features like a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, lane departure alert with steering assist, road sign assist, adaptive cruise control, lane tracing assist, blind spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert, rear parking assist with automatic braking, and more.
