2022 Toyota Corolla Cross

Personally, although I appreciate a good sedan, I would much rather riding in a Crossover. I just like sitting higher off the road.

If that sounds like you, perhaps you’ll want to take a look at the new

The “all-new 2022 Corolla Cross hits the sweet spot with the engaging driving experience of a small car and the functionality of a larger crossover.” (Toyota.com)

Looking at the SUV from the front, you’ll still see the distinguished Toyota “black front grille and a chiseled front fascia,” but as you head to the rear, you’ll find fender flares for a more SUV, “urban edge” look and feel.

Based on the popular Corolla sedan, the Corolla Cross is available in both front-wheel drive (FWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD); and offers three trim levels: L, LE and XLE.

Plus, in addition to the interior offers found in the traditional Corolla class, the Cross also includes an optional power moonroof, as well as either single- or dual-zone automatic climate control.

Not to mention, all trim levels feature standard heating and air conditioning vents for rear seat passengers.

In our family, with three teenagers left at home, the 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross is an ideal vehicle. It gives our teens more legroom than a sedan, with the cool factor that’s not a minivan.

Plus, as I mentioned above, it gives me the ability to sit higher off the road. Makes me feel safer.
