The higher-riding Cross will compete in the incerasingly popular mid-size crossover segment
29 July 2021 - 05:06The Toyota Corolla Cross will join its three Corolla namesakes — theAnticipation has been building since the announcement a year ago that it will be built at Toyota’s Prospecton plant in Durban. The company will export the car to 43 countries in Africa.
The Cross slots in below the Rav4 in terms of height and length but it sits on a similar wheelbase to the smaller CH-R. It takes on rivals such as the Kia Seltos, Hyundai Tuscon, Mazda CX-30 and other mid-sized crossovers. The interior mixes a digital instrument panel with a floating-type centre infotainment display, similar to its Corolla hatch and sedan cousins.Two engine types will be on offer: a naturally aspirated 1.8petrol-electric hybrid. Gearboxes for both versions are expected to be CVT transmission and it’s highly unlikely that a manual version will be offered at this level — to the disappointment of some of Corolla diehard fans, perhaps, but it’s a sign of the times.
