While it may not boast inspiring looks or handling, the Toyota Corolla Cross stands out as a pragmatic crossover with high reliability, fuel economy and resale value. For 2026, it receives a mid-cycle refresh including a new front end, redesigned wheels, the addition of heated rear seats, as well as larger displays. The same powertrain options remain: a 4-cylinder gasoline engine (169 hp, up to 7.8 L/100 km) and a hybrid system (196 hp, 5.6 L/100 km).
