There’s a brand new addition to the lineup for 2022, namely the Corolla Cross. This small utility vehicle comes standard with front-wheel drive, but unlike the C-HR all-wheel drive is available. Under the hood, you’ll find a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine shared with the Corolla and mated to a continuously variable transmission. Power (169 hp) and torque (151 lb-ft) are identical. Toyota has confirmed that a hybrid variant is on the way.
Pros
- Right-sized SUV for many Canadians
- Available AWD
- Styling is less polarizing than the C-HR
Cons
- Hybrid variant not available at first
- Unattractive base model
