2026 Corolla Cross

Performance Excellence

Every 2026 Corolla Cross is powered by a refined 2.0-liter Dynamic Force four-cylinder engine producing 169 horsepower. This sophisticated engine incorporates Dual Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) and combines both direct and port fuel injection to enhance efficiency and performance. Coupled with Toyota's cutting-edge Direct-Shift CVT transmission, the Corolla Cross offers smooth acceleration and quick, responsive handling, ensuring a pleasant driving experience.

The smart powertrain setup offers excellent fuel efficiency without sacrificing performance. Front-wheel drive versions achieve up to 31 MPG in urban driving and 33 MPG on highways, while all-wheel drive models still perform well with 29 MPG in the city and 31 MPG on highways. Weighing between 3,086 and 3,296 pounds based on the configuration, the Corolla Cross combines agile handling with a strong road presence.

Towing and Hauling Capabilities

The Corolla Cross is excellent as a daily commuter and family car, while also being practical for hauling. Its 60-40 folding rear bench seat offers versatile cargo options, helping you optimize space for bigger items without sacrificing passenger comfort. The compact spare tire stored underneath the cargo area helps you preserve maximum cargo capacity for trips around Appleton and beyond.

Standard features such as the power rear windows and optional power liftgate on the XLE trim improve convenience during cargo loading and unloading. The optional cargo cover and cross bars increase your hauling flexibility, making weekend trips and outdoor adventures easier and more versatile.
