2023 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid Drops this June for $29,305 in the US and AED 91,900 in UAE

The Toyota Corolla Cross presents itself as an automobile that encapsulates the driving experience of a petite automobile and melds it with the practicality of a larger crossover. Its standard iteration debuted not too long ago, and rumors were abound that a hybrid version was in the works, expected to arrive during the summer months. Toyota has now made it known that the long-awaited arrival of the hybrid model has come to pass, with the model set to make its debut this June. Interestingly, the model’s price will commence at $29,305, which includes a $1,335 destination fee.

The Cross boasts a powertrain engineered with the latest fifth-generation hybrid system and electronic all-wheel drive. This powertrain, which is expected to deliver an impressive 196 horsepower, is projected to enable the vehicle to zoom from 0 to 60 mph in approximately 8 seconds. Moreover, Toyota predicts that the Corolla Cross Hybrid will achieve an impressive combined 42 mpg rating across all its trim levels.

The cutting-edge fifth-generation hybrid powertrain has been designed to incorporate an advanced lithium-ion battery that is notably lighter and more compact than its forerunner. Despite its smaller size, this new battery has been optimized to offer the same power output as the previous iteration. Positioned ingeniously under the rear seats, this innovative battery placement helps to minimize any intrusion into the cabin space, thereby maximizing both passenger and cargo room to enhance the overall driving experience.

The 2023 Corolla Cross Hybrid offers a trifecta of trim levels that will leave even the most discerning drivers in awe. What sets this hybrid apart from the competition is its all-wheel drive, which comes standard across all models, making it a formidable force to be reckoned with on any terrain.

The S and SE trims will not disappoint those seeking a sportier ride. Both of these models are outfitted with 17-inch alloys, LED headlamps, and a sports-tuned suspension that promises to deliver an adrenaline-inducing driving experience like no other. The interior of these trims is equally impressive, featuring an 8-inch touchscreen that provides access to Toyota’s new multimedia system.

This multimedia system is a true marvel of technology, equipped with Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and boasting over-the-air (OTA) update capability. The SE trim takes things a step further by adding privacy glass and roof rails that lend a touch of sophistication to the already-impressive package.

But for those who desire nothing but the best, the XSE trim is the crown jewel of the Corolla Cross Hybrid lineup. This top-of-the-line model is distinguished by its 18-inch alloys and heated front seats with a power driver’s seat. With such opulence at your fingertips, every drive will feel like a luxurious escape into the world of high-end motoring.

The new Corolla Cross Hybrid boasts an impressive suite of advanced safety features known as Safety Sense 3.0. This comprehensive suite of active safety systems includes a variety of features, such as blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert, which serve to safeguard passengers and other drivers from potential collisions. Additionally, the Corolla Cross Hybrid’s pre-collision warning with pedestrian recognition and lane departure with steering assist provide an added layer of protection for drivers and passengers alike.

Notably, the dynamic radar cruise control of the Corolla Cross Hybrid offers a vehicle distance control and lane tracing assist feature that helps to maintain the vehicle’s centered position within its lane. Further adding to its safety features, the Corolla Cross Hybrid is equipped with road sign assist, a feature that detects speed limit signs and other traffic signs, providing the driver with essential information for safer driving. Additionally, the automatic high beam control feature automatically adjusts the vehicle’s headlights in response to changing driving conditions.

In the United Arab Emirates, the 2023 Corolla Cross Hybrid is available for purchase at a starting price of AED 91,900. It is worth noting that only one trim option is available for buyers in this region, making the Corolla Cross Hybrid a premium and exclusive option for the discerning consumer.
