Toyota has taken the wraps off its next Corolla Cross Hybrid, which “adds a healthy helping of performance and efficiency to an already incredible package”.
According to the motor manufacturer, its first-ever Corolla SUV boasts increased power and fuel economy, along with newly added features.
Available exclusively with all-wheel drive (AWD), the Corolla Cross Hybrid maximises the “inherent” potential of the high-strength TNGA-C platform.
This, it says, enables the all-new model to achieve “high-quality” performance, a “comfortable” ride and “outstanding” spaciousness.
Moreover, it says, the “surprising” cargo capacity gives it the “versatility to accommodate life’s adventures”.
Features:
