PLANO,
Texas, Sept. 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Toyota
Corolla Cross is adding even more style to the lineup with a
Nightshade Special Edition for 2024. Available exclusively on the
Corolla Cross Hybrid, and based on the SE grade, the Nightshade
Edition brings a distinctive look to the already feature-packed
entry SUV. Featuring 18-inch gloss black sport alloy wheels, black
and red fabric trimmed interior with red accent stitching, and
black accented head and tail lamps, it's a low-key cool Corolla
Cross with unique style.
Built on the SE grade, additional details on the Corolla Cross
Hybrid Nightshade include blacked-out badges, black outside door
handles and mirrors, and an integrated rear lip spoiler. The
finishing touch to the model's exterior are three chic paint
options, a stealthy Jet Black, Barcelona Red with Jet Black Roof,
or Celestite Gray with Jet Black Roof. It is also equipped with
standard accessories that are ready for life-on-the-go – like a
roof rack for extra storage, wireless charging, frameless HomeLink
Rearview Mirror, and standard carpet floormats.
The Corolla Cross Hybrid Nightshade joins the S, SE, and XSE
grades for model year 2024. With three sport grades to choose from,
drivers can find a Corolla Cross Hybrid that fits their budget and
style. For model year 2024 the SE and XSE both receive an update to
their wireless charger. The 2024 Corolla Cross Hybrid, along with
the gas model that launched in 2021, is assembled in the U.S. at
the new Mazda Toyota Manufacturing plant in Huntsville, Alabama.
The Corolla Cross Hybrid Nightshade Edition and the rest of the
Corolla Cross Hybrid lineup is expected to arrive at Toyota
Dealerships this winter.
Tuned to Perform Fifth Generation Toyota Hybrid
System
Available exclusively with Electronic On Demand All-Wheel Drive
(e-AWD), the Corolla Cross Hybrid maximizes the inherent potential
of its high-strength TNGA-C platform, enabling the model to achieve
high-quality performance, a comfortable ride and outstanding
spaciousness. What's more, the surprising cargo capacity gives it
the versatility to accommodate life's adventures.
With the Fifth Generation Toyota Hybrid System under the hood,
coupled with the e-AWD system, the Corolla Cross Hybrid offers both
power and fuel-economy. With 196 net system horsepower and an 8.0
second 0-60 time, the Corolla Cross Hybrid is fun to drive while
having an impressive manufacturer-estimated 42 combined miles per
gallon for all grades. Its Electronically controlled Continuously
Variable Transmission (ECVT) also helps maximize fuel economy.
The Corolla Cross Hybrid is sporty in nature, representing the
perfect complement to the gas-powered model. From an engineering
perspective, it offers an approachable exterior as well as a higher
line-of-sight thanks to the TNGA-C platform. The model also puts
the "U" in SUV, with 21.5 cubic feet of rear cargo space with rear
seats up, 1,500 pounds of towing capacity, and 8-inches of ground
clearance. Its ride is supported by a sport-tuned double-wishbone
multi-link rear suspension with coil springs, trailing arms,
stabilizer bar and hydraulic shock absorbers, for a capable yet
comfortable ride.
Distinctive Appeal Across the Grades
The 2024 Corolla Cross Hybrid is available in three grades: S,
SE and XSE. The three Sport grades offer eye-catching details that
set it apart from its gas sibling, such as unique front and rear
styling. The S and SE grades come standard with 17-inch alloy
wheels, 8-inch touchscreen, a sport-tuned suspension, LED head and
tail lamps and smart key access. The XSE adds available two-toned
paint and available 18-inch alloy wheels.
The SE grade adds privacy glass, roof rails and paddle shifters
as well as standard Blind-Spot Monitor (BSM) and Rear Cross Traffic
Alert (RCTA). When moving up to the XSE grade, the Corolla Cross
Hybrid's sportiest offering builds on the features of the SE and
gains standard 18-inch Alloy wheels, premium LED head lamps,
taillamps and fog lamps, SofTex®-trimmed seats with the addition of
heated front seats and a power driver's seat.
For exterior color options, the 2024 Corolla Cross Hybrid SE and
XSE grades will be available in four two-tone combinations: Sonic
Silver with Jet Black Roof, Barcelona Red Metallic with Jet Black
Roof, Blue Crush Metallic with Jet Black Roof and Acidic Blast with
Jet Black Roof. Additionally, Corolla Cross Hybrid will be
available in:
- Wind Chill Pearl ($425
extra-color cost)
- Sonic Silver Metallic
- Jet Black
- Barcelona Red Metallic
- Celestite
- Blue Crush Metallic
Inside, Corolla Cross' spacious interior offers many of the same
desirable features offered in its sedan and hatchback siblings. In
higher grades, the model can be outfitted with a power moonroof, as
well as either single- or dual-zone automatic climate control, with
all grades featuring standard heating and air conditioning vents
for rear seat passengers.
The 2024 Corolla Cross Hybrid is offered in the following
interior color options:
- S: Fabric-trimmed seats in Black/Gray
- SE: Fabric-trimmed seats in Black/Gray or Black/Blue
- XSE: SofTex®-trimmed seats in Black or Black/Blue
Toyota Audio Multimedia System Standard
Standard across all Corolla Cross grades for 2024 is the Toyota
Audio Multimedia system, with Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android
Auto™, and USB-C charge ports to keep all your devices ready for
action. Designed and engineered by Toyota's Texas-based Connected Technologies team,
Corolla Cross drivers can enjoy a wide range of enhanced
connectivity and convenience features with Over-the-Air (OTA)
updates. Users can interact with the system through intuitive touch
and voice activation controls.
With the available Connected Service Drive Connect
subscription*, drivers and passengers have access to Intelligent
Assistant, Cloud Navigation and Destination Assist. With
Intelligent Assistant, simple phrases like "Hey Toyota" awaken the
system for voice activated commands to search for directions, find
Points of Interest (POI), adjust audio controls, change the cabin
temperatures and more. Cloud Navigation, the available onboard
navigation solution, utilizes the cloud to download the latest
available map, traffic and routing information. To ensure users
have the most up-to-date search capabilities, POI search is
provided by Google Points-of-Interest data. Destination Assist also
gives access to 24/7 live agent assistance to locate the next
destination.
The new Toyota Audio Multimedia system allows for dual
Bluetooth® phone connectivity, with support for standard wireless
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. With further
connectivity, the Corolla Cross has an available Wi-Fi Connect*
subscription that offers 4G connectivity for up to five devices –
turning the Corolla Cross into an AT&T Hotspot. Adding to the
already robust offering of audio playback ability with HD Radio®,
USB data and a SiriusXM® Platinum Plan 3-month trial subscription,
Wi-Fi Connect * trial or subscription also enables the new
Integrated Streaming feature, providing customers the ability to
link their separate Apple Music® and Amazon Music subscriptions to
the vehicle for onboard control.
Standard Toyota Safety Sense 3.0
In addition to collision protection provided by the TNGA-C
platform, all 2024 Corolla Cross models come 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.
Corolla Cross will be equipped with Full-Speed Range Dynamic
Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) so drivers can take on longer road
trips with confidence. Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist is
designed to notify the driver via audible and visual alerts and
slight steering force if it senses the vehicle is leaving the lane
without engaging a turn signal. When DRCC is set and engaged, Lane
Tracing Assist uses visible lane markers or a preceding vehicle to
help keep the vehicle centered in its lane.
Automatic High Beams are designed to detect preceding or
oncoming vehicles and automatically switch between high beam and
low beam headlights. Road Sign Assist is designed to recognize
certain road sign information using a forward-facing camera and
display them on the multi-information display (MID).
In addition to the TSS 3.0 system, other standard features
include Blind Spot Monitor (BSM), which is designed to help detect
and warn you of vehicles approaching or positioned in the adjacent
lanes and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) for added peace of mind
by helping to detect vehicles approaching from either side while
backing out and alerting you with a visual and audible warning.
Hill Start Assist Control (HAC) also comes standard.
Toyota's Rear Seat Reminder also comes standard on all grades.
The feature can note whether a rear door was opened within 10
minutes of the vehicle being turned on, or at any time after the
vehicle has been turned on, with a reminder message in the
instrument cluster after the engine is turned off, accompanied by
multitone chimes.
*Subscription required after trial. 4G network dependent.
