Toyota Corolla Cross (2021) Specs & Price Announced
With local production of the Corolla Cross set to commence this month, Toyota SA has now confirmed the engine line-up (including a petrol-electric hybrid) of its new compact family car, which will slot in between the Urban Cruiser and RAV4 models.
Earlier this year, it was announced that, following a R2-billion-plus investment in Toyota South Africa Motors’ (TSAM) assembly plant in KZN, the Corolla Cross would be produced at Prospecton, from where it would be sold in the local market (from November 2021, we believe) and exported to more than 43 countries in Africa. The newcomer utilises the new Corolla’s TNGA (GA-C) platform and is produced alongside the
Corolla Quest.
Toyota Corolla Cross Trim Levels
Toyota South Africa is using its traditional trim level designation of Xi, Xs and Xr for the new Corolla Cross. Xi kicks off the range with Toyota saying its aimed at customers seeking value motoring. Mid-tier Xs throws in additional convenience features and comfort, while Xr gives you the full package of larger wheels, comprehensive features as well as enhanced exterior look.
Despite it being the entry-level derivative, the Xi features colour-coded bodywork, keyless entry, power-adjustable and auto-retractable exterior mirrors, LED taillamps and automatic light control. Interior Items include four cupholders, stowage binnacles, 60/40 fold-down rear seats and steering switches. Cruise Control, air-conditioning, 12-volt power outlet, all-round one-touch power windows and a Multi-Information Display (MID) round off the spec offering.
Xs trim enhances the package with foglamps, an upgrade to LED headlamps, Park Distance Control (PDC) and rain-sensing wipers. The interior trim is upgraded to leather, while the air-conditioning switches to a dual-zone variant and the Multi-Information Display (MID) is upgraded to the TFT-type. There’s also a reverse camera, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto connectivity as well as two more USB ports.
Finally, the Corolla Cross Xr model adds in even more safety spec, plus 18-inch wheels and additional convenience features.
The top-of-the-range Xr models offer customers additional convenience and safety specification and an upgrade to 18-inch wheels.
