2024 Toyota Corolla Cross: Hybrid SUV with Advanced Safety

Toyota Corolla Cross Development History:

The development history of the Toyota Corolla Cross began with Toyota's insight into the growing SUV market. The company decided to launch a new SUV model under the Corolla brand to fill the market gap between the RAV4 and C-HR. On October 21, 2020, the Corolla Cross was officially launched in Taiwan, China, and within a year of its launch, sales exceeded 42,000 units, which is an astonishing figure for a market with annual sales of only three to four hundred thousand units. Subsequently, on January 20, 2022, the FAW Toyota Corolla Cross was launched in the Chinese market, achieving strong sales and further expanding the global influence of the Corolla Cross. In 2023, Toyota introduced the Corolla Cross with a 1.8L hybrid system, equipped with a four-wheel-drive system, with a combined maximum power of 143kW, and a 0-96km/h acceleration time of 8.0 seconds, marking a significant advancement in the vehicle's power system. On August 6 of the same year, the FAW Toyota Corolla Cross Intelligent Electric Hybrid Dual Engine version was launched, further enriching the product line. By June 13, 2024, the Corolla Cross introduced new Elite and Luxury models to meet the needs of different consumers. This series of developments and updates not only demonstrate the continuous innovation of the Corolla Cross but also reflect Toyota's rapid response to market demands and continuous optimization of its product line.
