For 2026, Toyota is giving a significant update to its subcompact SUV. The Corolla Cross is getting several new features focused on design, technology and equipment level, while retaining its gas-only and hybrid powertrains. Starting price is set at $28,580 in Canada.
Toyota Corolla Cross 2026 - What's new?
The aesthetic refresh is immediately apparent: the front fascia has been completely redesigned, offering a distinct style between the grille of the gasoline models and a sleeker one on the hybrid versions. New 18-inch wheels (XLE/XSE) and the Cavalry Blue paint colour highlight the updated approach.
The interior has been updated as well. A redesigned console improves ergonomics, but the major change is the arrival of an available 10.5-inch touchscreen, which sits atop the dashboard on higher trims. The XLE and XSE versions swap traditional gauges for a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster.
Toyota has also enriched the equipment offering. Passengers in the XLE and XSE models will appreciate the new heated rear seats, while buyers of the Hybrid SE model will enjoy more equipment bang for the buck, with the standard addition of the large central screen and roof rails.
The Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 suite remains standard across the entire lineup.
