One of Singapore’s best-selling nameplates is now available in SUV form, and the Toyota Corolla Cross looks set to extend the brand’s dominance in the market.
It is in that vein that the Corolla Cross was conceived, with the car aiming to “suit the growing demand for SUVs” . But aside from that, the Corolla Cross comes across as just another ordinary crossover SUV on the road, and, certainly in our test car’s white colour anyway, simply blends in with traffic anonymously.
That obviously puts it right smack in between the Yaris Cross and RAV4 in Toyota’s SUV line-up, and the general sense is that the Corolla Cross is just about the right size for this segment, no more no less.This is really where the Corolla Cross shines, and it seems like Toyota has really considered the fact that the inside is where most of their customers spent their time, and has therefore made it as comfortable and pleasant as possible, without being too over the top.
At the rear, passengers are catered for with generous legroom and rear air con vents, so three at the back in comfort is very much a given. The car features the latest iteration of the Toyota Safety Sense suite of driver assistance features, which includes automatic emergency braking, radar adaptive cruise control, lane departure alert, and automatic high beam, to name but a few.
It does translate into a rather middling driving experience, and there's not much here with regards to excitement or entertainment.
