2026 Toyota Corolla Cross L

The Corolla Cross is Toyota's compact crossover, slotting between the smaller C-HR and the larger RAV4. It competes with the Honda HR-V, Nissan Kicks, and Subaru Crosstrek in the crowded subcompact SUV segment. The Corolla Cross handles with light, accurate steering and a composed ride, feeling more car-like than truck-like. Cargo space is generous for the class, and the rear seats fold nearly flat to expand the load area. Steel wheels and manual climate control mark the L as the entry-level Corolla Cross, sitting below the LE and XLE trims. Its 2.0L I4 makes 169 horsepower and pairs with a CVT and all-wheel drive, returning 30 mpg combined. The L rides on 17-inch steel wheels, which are less flashy than the alloy wheels on higher trims but keep the ride smooth and the price down.
