A Nice Crossover SUV for your Los Angeles Commutes

Kobe Bryant had a nice crossover. Paul George has a good one. And so does the new Los Angeles Clipper, John Wall. But no matter how good their crossovers are, we don't think they can hold a flame to Toyota's cross. The all-new 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross is just as smooth and efficient on the road as those guys were on the court. The only difference is that your Crossover has better gas mileage. Well, not the only difference. But you know what we mean.

So, What's New with the 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross?

We figured you'd want to skip right to the nuts and bolts. So, here it is. The 2023 Corolla Cross now includes an impressive hybrid model with standard all-wheel drive. There are three new trim levels for the Hybrid, and all Corolla Cross models include an 8-inch infotainment screen.

Power and Efficiency

If you're shopping for a good crossover SUV like the Toyota Corolla Cross, then you're not particularly interested in its power. So, the 2.0L 4-cylinder engine is standard with an automatic transmission. And while 169 horsepower won't necessarily pin your back to the seat, there's surprisingly punchy acceleration and enough boost to merge safely onto Los Angeles traffic. Especially with the hybrid model with 194 horsepower. But you're looking for efficiency and better handling. That's where the Toyota Corolla Cross earns its keep.

Front wheel-drive is standard on all models, but you can improve your traction support with all-wheel drive and sport-tuned suspension. The EPA-estimated 31/33 MPG city/highway will help keep more money in your pocket instead of pouring it into your gas tank. The all-wheel drive model will drop those numbers ever so slightly to an EPA-estimated 29/32 MPG city/highway. The Hybrid model is expected to come in at an EPA-estimated 37 MPG combined.

Interior Design

The sporty exterior design reflects an equally energetic cabin. Standard cloth upholstery is cozy and gets the job done well. The comfort provides a great stress reliever for those evening commutes home in Arroyo Grande or Oceano. You can upgrade your seating upholstery with SofTex®-trimmed seats in the XLE and XSE trims or Fabric-trimmed seats in the S or SE trims. Also included in those trim upgrades are heated front seats, a power driver's seat, and a sunroof.

Toyota Multimedia System

The 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross is designed to engage you from Grover Beach to San Luis Obispo. The Toyota Multimedia system includes wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility at the standard level. And multiple USB ports are strategically located throughout the cabin for easy accessibility for you and your passengers.

Over-the-air updates will keep your Toyota technology operating on the latest system. Available connected services include the intelligent assistant, cloud navigation, and destination assistance. All upgraded features are available with a simple "Hey Toyota" wake-up call. Further convenience features include a 4G Wi-Fi hotspot and a SiriusXM® Platinum Plan 3-month trial subscription. Stay connected with the 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross.

Toyota Safety Sense 3.0

The Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 is standard in all Toyota Corolla Cross models. The safety enhancements reaffirm Toyota's commitment to safety at every level. Pre-collision warnings, automatic braking, improved lane recognition, and steering assistance operate to perfection in every Toyota Corolla Cross model.

Other standard safety features include blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and hill start assistance control. And the rear seat reminder is a valuable addition to help you remember to grab items from the back row. It will also note if a rear door was opened within 10 minutes of the vehicle's ignition. The multitone chimes and reminder message appears in the instrument cluster for your convenience.

Toyota Santa Maria

Your crossover isn't made for the basketball court. It's made for the road. It's made to improve your traveling efficiency, comfort, and safety on the road in Los Angeles. More importantly, it's affordable. Check out the crossover that will change how you drive in Santa Maria. Stop by today and see what all the fuss is about for the 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross.
