2026 Toyota Corolla Cross XLE

Description

Less than 10 kilometers on the odometer and an estimated 8.1 L/100 km city and 7.5 L/100 km highway* make this 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross XLE All-Wheel Drive a standout in efficiency for a versatile SUV – but it’s the seamless tech integration inside that really sets it apart. Finished in sophisticated 0089 Wind Chill, this new 2026 Corolla Cross XLE pairs a refined exterior with the all-weather confidence of automatic full-time AWD. The Dynamic Force 2.0L I-4 engine (169 horsepower) with DOHC and VVT-iE/VVT-i delivers responsive power, while a 10-speed automatic/CVT with selectable drive modes and overdrive provides smooth, efficient performance. Hill Start Assist Control and brake actuated limited slip differential further support confidence on inclines and in low-traction situations. Inside, the technology suite is centered around a 10.5-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen that transforms daily driving into a connected, intuitive experience.

Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone mirroring allow you to bring your apps, maps, calls, and messages into the cabin without a single cable. The wireless integration is designed to work fluidly with the system’s Drive Connect Cloud Navigation (3-year trial), which offers real-time traffic and voice-activated guidance, plus Drive Connect Destination Assist and Intelligent Assistant for natural voice commands. Apple CarPlay deserves special attention here: it is wireless, deeply integrated, and optimized for the 10.5-inch display, so your familiar Apple ecosystem – from Maps to Messages and Music – becomes an easy, glanceable extension of your iPhone. Android Auto receives equally strong support, offering wireless access to Google Maps, Waze, audio apps, and messaging, giving Android users a tailored, hands-free experience.

Pair this with Qi Wireless Charging up front and three USB ports, and the cabin is clearly designed around modern, always-connected devices. Audio is handled by JBL standard grade speakers with Bluetooth wireless streaming, AM/FM/SiriusXM satellite radio (3-month trial), internet radio capability, and speed-sensitive volume, all controllable from the leather-wrapped, heated steering wheel with integrated audio and cruise controls. Toyota Assistant and the built-in virtual assistant via Drive Connect Intelligent Assistant (3-year trial) further reduce distraction by allowing voice control for many key functions. Comfort and practicality are equally well considered. The cabin features SofTex leatherette seating with heated front and rear seats, an 8-way power driver’s seat with 2-way power lumbar, and a 4-way front passenger seat. Dual-zone automatic climate control with rear ducts helps keep all passengers comfortable.

The interior is finished with piano black and metal-look accents, a leather gear shifter and boot, cloth headliner, and full carpet floor coverage, creating an upscale yet durable environment. The versatile rear area includes a 60/40 folding rear bench, roll-up cargo cover, underfloor spare tire, cargo tie-downs, concealed storage, and cargo lighting atop a carpeted cargo floor. Roof rails expand carrying capability for larger adventures, while the power liftgate with auto-latching and keyfob tailgate control simplifies loading. Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0 underpins a strong safety story with a Pre-Collision System with Low-Light Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Lane Tracing Assist, Road Sign Assist, Vehicle Sway Warning, Emergency Steering Assist, Automatic High Beam, and Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with Curve Speed Management.

Blind Spot Monitor, Rear Cross Traffic-like alerts via rear collision mitigation, Rear mounted camera, and Intuitive Parking Assist with Auto Braking front and rear sensors further support driver awareness. Ten airbags, including driver knee and rear side impact airbags, plus four seatbelt pretensioners and an immobilizer, enhance occupant protection. Convenience features include Smart Key with hands-free access and push button start, smart device remote start via Toyota App, SafetyConnect® and Service Connect with up to 10-year trials, Remote Connect with 3-year trial, power windows with one-touch up/down front and rear, auto-dimming rearview mirror, heated steering wheel, ambient lighting, and multiple storage bins and beverage holders throughout. Riding on 18 x 7-inch machined alloy wheels with P225/55VR18 all-season tires, projector beam LED headlights with auto on/off, LED fog lights, and deep-tinted windows, this Corolla Cross XLE balances style, efficiency, and advanced connectivity in a compact SUV package that is ready for everyday life and beyond. *Fuel consumption estimates are manufacturer-based when new and may vary with driving conditions and vehicle configuration.
