What's New for the 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross?
To give the crossover a beefier appearance, Toyota updates it with a more rugged grille design. On the inside, you'll find a new center console with a more driver-friendly layout. A larger 10.5-inch touchscreen has also arrived, which is offered on the higher trim levels. Furthermore, all-wheel-drive XLE trims now receive heated front seats and a heated steering wheel as standard equipment.
What Are the 2026 Corolla Cross Trims & Features?
Toyota offers the gas-powered Corolla Cross in three grades: L, LE, and XLE. The Corolla Cross L, which is the lineup's entry point, comes equipped with a number of popular features. Highlights include an 8.0-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone connectivity, a six-speaker audio system, and a digital driver information display.
The LE trim swaps out the base model's steel wheels for a stylish set of 17-inch alloy wheels. Conveniences, such as remote keyless entry and automatic climate control, add to this trim's appeal. A thunderous JBL premium sound system and a sunroof are on the list of available options.
Atop the lineup sits the Corolla Cross XLE. Its new 18-inch wheel design is bound to catch your eye. To further elevate comfort, Toyota equips this upscale trim with dual-zone automatic climate control and a power driver's seat. Other notable features include a 10.5-inch multimedia touchscreen, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, and SofTex upholstery.
How Much Horsepower Does the 2026 Corolla Cross Have?
Underneath the hood sits a reliable 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine. It develops a competitive 169 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque. A continuously variable transmission helps promote optimum fuel efficiency. While front-wheel drive comes standard, all-wheel drive is optional. You can also take advantage of the crossover's 1,500-pound towing capacity.
