2023 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid

Toyota offers the Corolla Cross Hybrid in three trims: S, SE, and XSE. Pricing for the S starts at $29,305, while the XSE costs $32,400 (prices include destination).

The electrified Corolla Cross Hybrid features a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with three electric motors. The combined output is rated at 196 horsepower, making it more powerful than the standard Corolla Cross by 27 hp. Unlike the regular Corolla Cross, the hybrid model comes with standard all-wheel drive. The powertrain is paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission.

The Corolla Cross Hybrid is rated at up to 45 mpg in the city, 38 mpg on the highway, and 42 mpg combined. These figures are far better than the gas-powered Corolla Cross, which is rated at up to 32 mpg combined.

All Corolla Cross Hybrid models offer seating for up to five people. The hybrid powertrain hasn’t affected the Corolla Cross Hybrid’s interior space, as it offers the same passenger space as the non-hybrid model. Passengers in the front get 38.6 inches of headroom and 42.9 inches of legroom, while those in the back have 39 inches of headroom and 32 inches of legroom.

When it comes to cargo capacity, the Corolla Cross Hybrid loses some space cargo space to the regular Corolla Cross. The hybrid offers up to 21.5 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats and a total of 61.8 cubic feet of space with the rear seats folded.

The Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 suite of advanced safety features is standard on the Corolla Cross Hybrid. Standard features on the subcompact SUV include forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and automatic high-beam assist.

Moving up to the SE trim brings blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert. Features like front and rear parking sensors and reverse automatic emergency braking are only available on the XSE trim.

The base Corolla Cross Hybrid starts off with an eight-inch touchscreen and a 4.2-inch driver information display. Other standard features include Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Amazon Alexa, Bluetooth, two USB ports, satellite radio, and six audio speakers.

The SE trim gets a wireless charging pad and two extra USB ports. A JBL audio system is part of the $1,740 Moonroof Pack with options.

The range-topping XSE trim comes with a seven-inch digital instrument cluster. The JBL audio system is part of a $2,050 that’s called the Convenience Package with options.

The base S trim starts off with heated exterior mirrors, 17-inch alloy wheels, a rear spoiler, black exterior trim, a tilt-and-telescoping steering column, cloth upholstery, manually adjustable front seats, and air conditioning.

The S trim is not available with any optional features.

The mid-level SE trim comes with black roof rails, a leather-trimmed steering wheel, keyless entry, and automatic climate control.

A moonroof costs $940, while a moonroof and a JBL audio system are priced at $1,740.

Going with the range-topping XSE trim brings synthetic leather upholstery, a 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, dual-zone automatic climate control, a rear-seat folding armrest, and heated front seats.

The available $1,250 Convenience Package brings a moonroof and a power liftgate. The Convenience Package with the JBL audio system costs $2,050. Getting the JBL audio system, the features from the Convenience Package, and adaptive headlights cost $2,665.
