55 Days to Corolla Cross
Toyota's hotly anticipated Corolla Cross is set to go on sale at the start of November '21. Following the previous releases where we shared the product concept and powertrain details, we are pleased to announce the model line-up, pricing and a first for Toyota; a pre-sales campaign where prospective buyers can reserve their very own Corolla Cross ahead of the official sales date.
Three Grades
A three-grade strategy has been adopted, using Toyota's familiar Xi, Xs and Xr nomenclature (also found on the Cross' Corolla stablemates and other Toyota passenger vehicles). Xi denotes the entry-level model, which is aimed at customers seeking core value motoring. The mid-tier Xs adds additional comfort and convenience specification, while the flagship Xr grade receives upgraded exterior aesthetics, larger alloy wheels and additional features.
Standard specification on the Xi includes colour coding, keyless entry, power-adjustable and auto-retractable exterior mirrors, LED taillamps and automatic light control. Interior Items include four cupholders, stowage binnacles, 60/40 fold-down rear seats and steering switches. Cruise Control, air-conditioning, 12-volt power outlet, all-round one-touch power windows and a Multi-Information Display (MID) round off the spec offering.
The interior trim is upgraded to leather, while the air-conditioning switches to a dual-zone variant and the Multi-Information Display (MID) is upgraded to the TFT-type.
The audio system too receives an upgrade to touchscreen 'spec' which brings with it a reverse camera, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto functionality and two additional USB ports (for a total of 3). Toyota Connect is included across the board.
The top-of-the-range Xr models offer customers additional convenience and safety specification and an upgrade to 18-inch wheels.
Safety & Security
All Corolla Cross models offer buyers a comprehensive safety and security package. All models include an anti-theft system, auto door-lock and ISOFIX anchor points. The airbag array includes driver, passenger, side and driver-knee (on Xi & Xs) while the Xr adds curtain airbags.
A full suite of active safety features is present on all models Including; VSC, ABS, EBD and Hill Assist Control (HAC). The Xr model also boasts Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) - which encompasses semi-autonomous driving aids and enhanced safety-system functionality. The standout elements here are Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM), Lane Trace Assist (LTA) and a Pre-Collision System (PCS).
Model Line-up & Pricing
As noted in the 77 Days to Corolla Cross release, the newcomer will feature a two engine strategy: a 1.8-litre petrol engine (103 kW & 172 Nm) and ultra-fuel-efficient 1.8-litre Hybrid (90 kW total system output). This in combination with the aforementioned three-grade strategy results in a five-model matrix:

Corolla Cross 1.8 Xs - R 390 100
Corolla Cross 1.8 Xr - R 425 400
