The Toyota Corolla Cross is a popular subcompact SUV that blends the practicality of a crossover with the affordability of the Corolla sedan. While the 2025 Corolla Cross was already an impressive vehicle, Toyota has made some notable enhancements for the 2026 model year. Let's take a closer look at this appealing vehicle that's now available in our new inventory at Newburgh Toyota in Newburgh, NY.
What's New for 2026?
The 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross gets a refreshed front fascia with a bulkier grille pattern for a more aggressive look. A new Cavalry Blue exterior paint color also joins the lineup. Inside, the Corolla Cross features a redesigned center console, along with an available 10.5-inch infotainment touchscreen, which is larger than the 8.0-inch unit in the 2025 model. The XLE trim now rides on restyled 18-inch wheels in a sleek dark gray finish. Finally, all-wheel-drive (AWD) models now come standard with a Cold Weather Package that includes luxuries like a heated steering wheel and heated front seats.
Performance
The 2025 and 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross are both powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 169 horsepower and 151 pound-feet of torque. The engine is paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) and front-wheel drive (FWD), while all-wheel drive (AWD) is optional for those who want extra traction as they navigate the streets of Wappingers Falls. Expect both model years to continue delivering excellent fuel economy, with a range of 31 mpg city and 33 mpg highway.
Exterior and Interior
Aside from the 2026 model's bolder grille and new paint, the Toyota Corolla Cross retains its stylish and practical design. LED headlights and taillights provide plenty of illumination and give the crossover a modern look. Inside, the spacious cabin offers comfortable seating for up to five passengers, with generous headroom and legroom in both rows. High-quality materials and soft-touch surfaces create an upscale feel, especially in the top-tier XLE trim available to Middletown drivers.
Technology
The 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross comes packed with advanced technology. The available 10.5-inch touchscreen display showcases the latest infotainment system with responsive touch controls, and standard Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ smartphone integration. Fishkill drivers will appreciate the available JBL premium audio system that delivers powerful sound throughout the cabin. Like the 2025 model, the 2026 Corolla Cross also offers Woodbury, NY buyers a comprehensive suite of active safety features, including adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and automatic emergency braking.
