car_truckBuilt to shrug off foul weather, tight schedules, and tangled city streets, the 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross XLE channels real-world capability into every mile. With confident all-wheel drive traction, a poised ride, and an intelligent powertrain, this SUV doesn’t ask you to choose between efficiency, comfort, and control—it delivers all three with calm assurance. Dressed in 0089 Wind Chill, its crisp lines are set off by LED lighting, a rear lip spoiler, tasteful chrome window trim, and machined 18-inch alloy wheels, while durable black cladding underscores its readiness for weekend trails and weekday curbside duty alike.
Under the hood, the Dynamic Force 2.0L I-4 pairs smooth power with smart efficiency, sending energy through an advanced, electronically controlled continuously variable transmission that offers sequential shifting when the road calls for a more engaged feel.
Full-time all-wheel drive and driver-selectable modes optimize grip and response, complemented by a well-tuned suspension, brake-actuated limited slip performance, and Hill Start Assist Control. The result is a compact SUV that feels settled on the highway and surefooted on rain-slick routes.
The XLE cabin balances upscale materials with purposeful versatility. SofTex leatherette seating resists daily wear while looking the part; heated front and rear seats and a heated steering wheel keep cold mornings civil. A power liftgate streamlines loading, and the 60/40 split rear bench folds to expand cargo space for gear, luggage, or a bulky hardware-store haul. Thoughtful touches—like multiple storage bins, a roll-up cargo cover, and ambient lighting—make every trip easier and more refined.
Technology is anchored by a clear 12.3-inch digital gauge display and a 10.5-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen that responds quickly and works seamlessly with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto wireless mirroring.
Qi Wireless Charging simplifies life by clearing cords from the console, while JBL speakers round out the experience with clean, confident sound. Drive Connect Cloud Navigation with a 3-year trial brings real-time traffic, and the Drive Connect Intelligent Assistant adds natural voice interaction for directions, points of interest, and more.
Confidence comes standard with Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0, integrating systems such as the Pre-Collision System with Low-Light Pedestrian Detection, Lane Tracing Assist, Road Sign Assist, Emergency Steering Assist, and Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with Curve Speed Management. Blind Spot Monitor and Intuitive Parking Assist with Auto Braking expand awareness at speed and at the curb. In the background, SafetyConnect® with an up to 10-year trial adds emergency support and vehicle locator services, and a comprehensive airbag system provides layered protection.
From its tidy footprint to its smart storage and robust suite of driver assists, the 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross XLE is engineered to move smoothly through the demands of modern life.
It’s a compact SUV that feels big on substance—comfortable, connected, and capable when the conditions are not. If your days are varied and your routes unpredictable, this Corolla Cross proves capability can be your everyday standard.
