Toyota Corolla Cross & egrave; the new C-segment SUV based on the Corolla platform. At first it was not supposed to come out in Italy, then for & ograve; & egrave; was confirmed with an interesting commercial proposal in the choice of fittings: only two , each with a single option to choose from and all already; very complete in the standard equipment .
Although it may seem only the & quot; raised & quot; version of her sister, Corolla Cross actually introduces many novelties, perhaps hidden but not irrelevant for this. The hybrid system reaches its fifth generation, improving compared to the past: it does not change the operating logic but optimizes performance by cutting the weight of its components and limiting efficiency.
In addition, technology takes an important step forward: digital instrumentation as standard on all versions, new hardware for the ADAS and semi-autonomous driving, new software with OTA updates capable of adding functionality; active safety.
Before continuing, here are the technical features already; revealed at the time of the announcement and the official prices that we will then discuss in the last chapter of this road test regarding the offer with financing and promotions.

FIFTH GENERATION TOYOTA HYBRID 
At the wheel of Corolla Cross 2022, the fifth generation hybrid system does not differ in general behavior and operating logic. Change to & ograve; considerably the power available , something that in everyday driving you will appreciate when overtaking in extra-urban, acceleration to free an intersection or in motorway overtaking. With S-Cross Hybrid, which costs for & ograve; less, you pay much more shutter speeds; long that take a while more programming of the maneuver. Corolla Cross, on the other hand, benefits in the version with the 2-liter petrol, almost 200 hp (197 hp) and are perceptible, not limited only to the technical data sheet.
The four-cylinder delivers 152 hp and maximum torque of 190 Nm, but not & egrave; the one that matters because & eacute; electric, a permanent magnet synchronous motor has made a big leap forward.
On the 2.0 front-wheel drive it puts a good 113 hp and 206 Nm of torque, for a total of 197 hp against the 184 hp of the previous generation (on CH-R and pre-restyled Corolla). The same overall power is delivered by the 4×4 version with all-wheel drive which for & ograve; uses a second electric motor now much more; performance compared to the fourth generation: 41 HP and an additional 84 Nm of torque.
There will be; also a hybrid version with 1.8-liter petrol and a total power of 140 hp: at launch we will see it only in Turkey and Israel, it will not have; the four-wheel drive, accelerates from 0 to 100 in 9.9 seconds and in Italy debut & agrave; more come on.
For both versions, however, the battery is; new : more & ugrave; compact, it improves power delivery, reduces weight and has a new climate control and thermal management system.
ROAD TEST AND CONSUMPTION 
. </p>
<p>In terms of mechanics and driving reactions, things do not change too much: the platform is; the same, here declined with a greater height from the ground and a soft absorption setup, without encountering that annoying yielding effect that would then be paid for with excessive movements of the bodywork on bumps and holes. Little roll in cornering, where the car betrays the most ground clearance, and a suspension scheme with front MacPherson and independent rear suspension with two wishbones complete a good level of equipment. </p>
<p>Excellent first feedback also from the four-wheel drive system, used only on the road where in curves it stands out for its dynamic contribution to the advantage of grip in all situations, even when we force the foot. The & # 39; car & quot; restarts & quot; the torque (not physically, but adds rear traction when needed via the electric motor) to help in those driven mountain/hill sections where we let enthusiasm take off. </p>

Great progress in terms of infotainment, Toyota has now learned its lesson: goodbye nineties interfaces, goodbye little screens reactive, goodbye fluidity; practically absent. Now it presents us with a 10.5 & quot; display; in high definition with a very simple interface, really intuitive, complete and usability; at the top: fluid in panning, in switching from one application to another and in everyday operations. The system is also connected to the network, and after the first 4 years with a small subscription you can & ograve; continue to enjoy the updates for matte and traffic and the support for the smartphone application that remotely controls the car and adds all the reporting services of the on-board computer.
Excellent performance even for Level 2 semi-autonomous driving and the ADAS. Here there are not indifferent hardware evolutions: Toyota Safety Sense radar and front camera are new, they see more; in all directions, they see better up close and work with improved and, above all, upgradeable software.
In fact, even the ADAS module can & ograve; introduce new features; when it receives an OTA update, in 2023 they are already; the first are foreseen. Corolla Cross then has a software that with the anti-collision also recognizes motorbikes and objects on the road (as well as pedestrians, cyclists and of course cars). Brakes by itself even in reverse and in slow forward maneuvers if you choose the LOUNGE, it alerts you if vehicles or road users arrive while the doors are opened
