The Corolla Cross GXL sits in the middle of the range with the petrol front-wheel drive listing for $36,750, the hybrid FWD listing for $38,250, and the all-wheel drive hrybid costing $42,250.
Coming standard on the GXL are LED headlights, a proximity key, Android Auto and wireless Apple CarPlay, a reversing camera, roof rails and rear privacy glass, leather upholstered seats and steering wheel, dual-zone climate control, plus a 10.5-inch display with built-in sat nav.
As for fuel consumption the hybrid uses between 4.3-4.4L/100km after a combination of open and urban roads, while the petrol uses 6.0L/100km.
The Corolla Cross hasn’t been given an ANCAP crash test rating yet, but the advanced safety tech every grade comes with is impressive.
All Corolla Crosses come with AEB that can detect pedestrians and cyclists, and impressively can function between 5.0-180km/h. There’s also lane keeping assistance, blind spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert and adaptive cruise control. The GXL also comes with manoeuvre braking.
