With noise and clutter all around us, the Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid XR offers a much-needed peaceful drive.

Don’t be surprised when you start this car.

It’s keyless, and you won’t hear the engine fire up. Toyota’s latest technological advancement is an environmentally friendly and noise-free space. It’s a variant of the Corolla, whose history spans 12 generations.

The Corolla Cross represents Toyota’s first foray into the crossoverslash-suv space, with a new body shape that offers enahanced function and utility.

It’s locally produced, positively affecting job creation and the South African market. It’s Toyota’s first Hybrid powertrain production on local turf.

What we love about it

It has a super-spacious cabin with class-leading luggage capacity. Its driving position is engaging with precise handling and less body roll. The entire driving experience is easy, comfortable and seamless, leaving you to enjoy the SUV’S harmonious design and spacious capacity.

This Corolla’s interior looks and feels premium due to soft-touch materials and classy finishing touches. These include double-stitched accent detail, a centrally mounted infotainment system and outstanding visibility.

Both powerplants are exclusively mated to Toyota’s latest and one of the best CVT transmissions we’ve experienced with an automatic transmission.
