Based on the Corolla sedan, the all-new 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid recently made its U.S. debut. The new hybrid, along with the gas model launched in 2021, will be assembled in the U.S. at the new Mazda Toyota Manufacturing plant in Huntsville, Alabama – a brand new facility that will have the capacity to roll out up to 150,000 Corolla Cross vehicles per year.
Available exclusively with all-wheel drive, the Corolla Cross Hybrid maximizes the inherent potential of the high strength TNGA-C platform, enabling the model to achieve high-quality performance, a comfortable ride and outstanding spaciousness.
With the new fifth generation Toyota hybrid system under the hood, coupled with the electronic all-wheel drive system that’s new to the Corolla nameplate, the new Corolla Cross Hybrid offers increased power and fuel economy. With 194 hp and an 8 second 0-60 time, the Corolla Cross Hybrid is fun to drive while having an impressive manufacturer-estimated 37 combined miles per gallon for all grades.
In addition to collision protection provided by the TNGA-C platform, all 2023 Corolla Cross models comes standard with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, Toyota’s suite of active safety systems, which includes enhancements made possible by system sensors with improved detection capability. The Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection is also capable of detecting motorcyclists in certain conditions. When making a turn or approaching an intersection, the system is designed to detect forward or laterally approaching oncoming vehicles and provides audio/visual alerts and automatic braking in certain conditions. Improved lane recognition delivers refined performance of lane departure alert with steering assist and lane tracing assist.
