The Corolla Cross line-up kicks off with the GX grade and the most affordable version at this level is the petrol variant for a list price of $33,000, while the hybrid is $2500 extra. The GX grade is only available in front-wheel drive, however. So, you’ll need to step up to the GXL for all-wheel drive.
Coming standard on the GX are LED headlights and 17-inch alloy wheels, fabric seats, climate control, proximity keys, an 8.0-inch touchscreen, Android Auto and wireless Apple CarPlay, a six-speaker stereo (with digital radio) and a reversing camera.
As for fuel consumption the hybrid uses 4.3L/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.
Is the cheapest version of this small SUV best? Hybrid vs petrol? Not quite the GXL grade that offers more features.
