It is a model that makes you feel the premonition of a big hit as soon as possible. Some people may feel that ``Toyota is unconscionable by setting up an SUV even for the Corolla,'' but what is it now? The Corolla series has long released models that meet the needs of the times. If the FF2 box becomes popular, the Corolla FX will be released, if the 4-door hardtop is popular, the Corolla Ceres will be released, and if the 3-row seat will be popular, the Corolla Spacio will be released. Therefore, the fact that Corolla has released an SUV is also proof that the popularity of SUVs has become a real thing. Quiet topic. If you want to buy such a Corolla Cross, I would like to check which grade and which option you should aim for. The first thing to decide is the powertrain. The Corolla Cross has two types of powertrains, a gasoline model and a hybrid model. Basically, it has the same specs as those installed in other Corolla series, and the 4WD model is common in that only the hybrid is set, but the big difference is that the 1.2L turbo model is not available.

Hybrid and gasoline price difference of 350,000 yen

For users who absolutely need 4WD, the hybrid model is the only choice, but for those who do not, it is difficult to decide which one to choose. In the Corolla Cross, the price difference between gasoline and hybrid is 350,000 yen in any grade, and there is no difference in equipment other than the powertrain, so the difference in powertrain is purely 350,000 yen. Of course, the fuel efficiency performance of the hybrid is excellent, but it is almost impossible to make up for the difference in fuel costs. After all, the feeling of acceleration from zero start by motor assist is superior to the hybrid. As will be described later, it is also a great advantage that you can choose an optional AC100V 1500W accessory outlet that can be used with many electrical appliances. When choosing a hybrid, the next option is 2WD or 4WD, but the price difference here is 209,000 yen regardless of the grade. The problem here is that the rear suspension becomes a double wishbone type when 4WD is selected. All other Corolla series cars have a double wishbone rear suspension, but only the Corolla Cross has a torsion beam rear suspension for 2WD vehicles. According to the manufacturer, the bushings and other parts have been optimized to improve ride quality, but it is clear that the double wishbone system with independent left and right sides is superior when driving on uneven roads for outdoor leisure. . Therefore, if you have enough budget, it would be ant to choose a 4WD model. The price at the time of purchase will go up, but you should be able to expect a trade-in price when you finally let go.
