Interior and Features

This is really where the Corolla Cross shines, and it seems like Toyota has really considered the fact that the inside is where most of their customers spent their time, and has therefore made it as comfortable and pleasant as possible, without being too over the top.

The general layout is pretty much a carbon copy of the Corolla Altis sedan, which again is no bad thing, as it is mostly quite functional and ergonomically sound. A noted highlight though is the 12.3-inch fully digital driver’s instrument display, which can be customised in quite a number of different ways. It’s not overly fancy, but it does liven up the experience and makes the Corolla Cross that little bit more interesting.

In terms of space and practicality, the Corolla Cross pretty much meets most expectations. The seating position is suitably high enough, and there’s plenty of headroom as one would expect from a crossover-type vehicle. At the rear, passengers are catered for with generous legroom and rear air con vents, so three at the back in comfort is very much a given.

Oddly, the Corolla Cross’ boot space is smaller than that of the Corolla Altis sedan, at 425 litres versus 470 litres respectively. The boot floor itself is fairly high too, although it compensates for that via its larger tailgate opening and electric-powered tailgate, and the ability to expand the capacity to around 1,200 litres by folding down the 60:40 split rear seats.

The most impressive aspect of the Corolla Cross is its level of driver assistance and safety equipment, and it’s really a demonstration of what customers expect in the mainstream segment today. The car features the latest iteration of the Toyota Safety Sense suite of driver assistance features, which includes automatic emergency braking, radar adaptive cruise control, lane departure alert, and automatic high beam, to name but a few. There is also blind spot monitoring, a 360 degree camera system, and eight airbags to keep your family safe.
