2025 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid

Performance

The 2025 Corolla Cross Hybrid comes standard with electronic all-wheel drive (AWD). Power comes from a hybrid version of the 2.0-liter Dynamic Force 4-cylinder engine. This system includes an electric motor and a battery pack that regains energy through braking. An electronic continuously variable transmission drives this efficient system, sending power to all four wheels.

This system is powerful, with a combined 196 horsepower. However, it is also efficient, returning an Environmental Protection Agency rating of 45 MPG in the city, along with a combined rating of 42 MPG for a mix of city and highway driving.

Exterior

With a unique design all its own, the 2025 Corolla Cross Hybrid is handsome and understated, especially when paired with the available 18-inch machined alloy wheels. Available roof rails allow you to carry bicycles, luggage, canoes, and the like on your outdoor excursions, keeping the interior hatch area for coolers, backpacks, and other luggage.

The LED headlights with available LED daytime running lights and fog lights complement the exclusive front styling of the 2025 Corolla Cross Hybrid. Not only are they very functional at lighting the road ahead, but they are also attractive, allowing the vehicle to stand out from the crowd of other ordinary crossover SUVs.

This 2025 Corolla Cross Hybrid isn’t just a looker; it can take you places you thought impossible. The standard eight inches of ground clearance will help to ensure you can forge ahead over most obstacles.

A power liftgate is standard on all trim levels and can be opened with the key fob or a button on the liftgate itself. You can also adjust the maximum height at which it opens.

Size is a must when you’re looking to buy an SUV, and the 2025 Corolla Cross Hybrid has it where it matters but is still small enough to drive around city streets and park easily.

Interior

We all want our daily cars to be a nice, quiet, and comfortable place to be, and the 2025 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid is just that.

On cool mornings, you will enjoy the available heated front seats, which will have you feeling warm and ready to take in the day in no time.

The available moonroof allows plenty of natural light with the shade retracted and plenty of fresh air with the glass open.

The rear seats have individual vents and two USB-C ports to charge portable devices.

The interior is such a nice place to spend time, and it is undoubtedly better with the available JBL nine-speaker premium audio system.
