Toyota is among the world’s largest automobile manufacturers. It has been able to satisfy its users for generations, especially with its robustness and security technologies. With its hybrid technology, it can significantly reduce fuel consumption.
The company launched the Toyota Corolla Cross, an SUV version of the Corolla, one of its very popular models in recent years. The vehicle was very popular, especially in the American market. Following the American market, the car was also introduced for the European market.
Toyota Corolla Cross design and features
With the launch made by Toyota, the European version of the Toyota Corolla Cross was introduced. The introduced model has changes compared to the models offered for sale in other countries. If we look at the exterior design, there are not many changes in the design of the vehicle. The company made minor changes to the rear lights and headlight group. Other than that, there is no difference.
This is not the case indoors. European-specific changes have been made in the interior. Normally, users in other markets are offered a 7-inch digital instrument cluster, while the European version has a more advanced 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. In addition, there are changes in the multimedia screen.
Models in other markets have an 8-inch multimedia screen, which we are accustomed to from Toyota models. This model, on the other hand, has a new 10.5-inch multimedia screen. In addition, the software of the multimedia display has been modified and equipped with a faster chip. In this way, it aims to offer its passengers a much better entertainment experience.
The model, which wants to satisfy its users with technology, also offers a package called Toyota Smart Connect. Thanks to this package, you can get information about your vehicle by connecting your vehicle to the application called “MyT”. In addition to all of them, the security packages that we are used to from Toyota models are also in the vehicle.
Engine options and price
On the engine side, hybrid options welcome us. According to the statement made by Toyota, the vehicle’s battery was replaced. It was announced that the new battery is more powerful and 40% lighter. In this way, the vehicle will offer a better experience compared to other models. There are two hybrid options.
The first 2.0 liter hybrid option. This option produces 197 hp and accelerates from 0-100 km / h in 8.1 seconds. In addition to the front-wheel drive version of the vehicle, there is also a four-wheel drive version. When you buy this version, an electric motor is added to the rear axle of the vehicle and provides 43 horsepower increase.
It is unclear when the vehicle will go on sale in the European market. No explanation was made about the price of the vehicle, but the price is expected to be between the prices of Toyota RAV4 and Toyota CH-R. So, what are your thoughts?
