Inside the 2026 Corolla Cross, the cabin layout focuses on everyday usability and comfort. Seating for five provides flexibility for family trips, commuting, or weekend drives across Central Florida.

The cabin also includes power door locks with shift-linked automatic locking, sun visors with vanity mirrors, an overhead console with map lights, and a glove compartment for additional convenience.

The 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross features a 2.0-liter Dynamic Force 4-cylinder engine that produces 169 horsepower at 6,600 rpm and 151 lb-ft of torque between 4,400 and 4,800 rpm. It uses a DOHC 16-valve layout with Dual VVT-i and a D-4S fuel system for efficient combustion. The Toyota Direct Ignition (TDI) system supports reliable performance, and the engine operates best with 87-octane unleaded fuel or higher.
Shoppers can choose between front- and all-wheel drive with Dynamic Torque Control. The Continuously Variable Transmission with Intelligence and Shift Mode (CVTi-S) transmission provides smooth, predictable acceleration and helps the vehicle maintain strong fuel economy across everyday driving scenarios. Fuel economy EPA-estimates reach up to 31 city, 33 highway, and 32 combined miles per gallon for FWD models, with AWD variants EPA-estimates reach up to 29 city, 31 highway, and 30 combined miles per gallon.
The chassis includes a MacPherson strut front suspension with a stabilizer bar. Rear suspension varies by drivetrain: torsion beam for FWD models and multi-link with a stabilizer bar for AWD. A minimum turning radius of 17.7 feet supports maneuverability in narrow parking lots around DeLand or Orlando.
The braking system includes power-assisted ventilated front disc brakes, solid rear discs, and an electronic parking brake. ABS, brake assist, and electronic brake-force distribution are standard, supporting controlled stopping in varied weather conditions.
For drivers who occasionally tow small items like bikes or lightweight trailers, the Corolla Cross offers up to 1,500 pounds of towing capacity. This flexibility supports weekend activities without needing a larger SUV like the 4Runner or Toyota Crown Signia.
Technology in the 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross centers on intuitive controls, simple interaction, and helpful connectivity for daily driving. Screen sizes vary by grade, with a standard 8-inch touchscreen across all trims and an available 10.5-inch display on LE and XLE models. Connected features allow drivers to access cloud-based navigation, app-based vehicle interaction, and in-vehicle Wi-Fi capability depending on subscription preferences.
