Toyota has just presented in Brazil the updated Corolla Crossone of the best-selling SUVs in the region that will soon be launched in the Argentine market.
Manufactured in the Brazilian plant in Sorocaba, São Paulo, from where more than 230,000 units have already been produced, the model presents its first major restyling, also adding more equipment and comfort elements.
The new 2025 line is now available in Brazilian dealerships in four gasoline versions (XR, XRE, XRX and GR-Sport) and two hybrid versions (XRX Hybrid, XRV Hybrid). Even Toyota Argentina did not give details about the composition of the range.
Changes in sight
Aesthetically, the new Corolla Cross debuts a new integrated grille, bumpers and headlights that combine high and low beams in a single lens, as well as LED daytime running lights and three-dimensional sequential turn signals.
Also notable are the 18” alloy wheels with a new design for the XRX and XRX Hybrid configurations, and the redesign of the rear lights.
In the cabin, for its part, the most noticeable change falls on the new 12.3-inch digital instrument panel, present in all versions from the XRE onwards. There are also changes to the fabric covering on the roof, as well as to the seat upholstery and door panels.
In addition, depending on the version, it adds an electronic parking brake, wireless cell phone charger and an electric hands-free trunk opening and closing system.
In terms of safety, the entire range has the “Toyota Safety Sense” package of driving assistance systems, composed of the pre-collision assistant, the adaptive cruise control, the lane-keeping assistance system with steering correction and automatic high beams.
