Final Words about the Toyota Corolla Cross SUV
The SUV version of the Toyota Corolla Cross is a great launch by the brand. The new advanced sharp looks and sleek stance makes it stands out. The exterior has much to focus on, whether it’s the LED headlights, flared fenders, chunky 18″ alloy wheels, or functional roof rails. Everything is prim and proper.
The interior is too spacious and features rich, the seats are leather-wrapped and dual-zone climate control chills the space so quickly. The 8″ advanced infotainment screen and the 7″ inch MID display offer much of the details in just a glace.
There are two engines, petrol, and a petrol+hybrid, the motor is adequate power and provides a sophisticated driving experience. While the CVT gearbox with Intelligence and Shift Mode. The gear shifts are smooth but do have a bit of turbo lack in the low end. But it won’t affect the overall driving pleasure at all.
So overall, the Toyota Corolla Cross is a much-needed car in the Indian market. However, the current cars of Toyota in India are overpriced, but if the 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross Price in India would be set Rs 17.28-21.46 (Ex-showroom). Then it’ll surely become the top-selling car in the segment.
