rmc523 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 https://www.autoblog.com/2020/07/09/toyota-corolla-cross/ This isn't our model, but it's apparently coming here potentially as soon as next year. Looks like a melted Rav-4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomcat68 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Well, the original RAV4 was made from the Corolla's platform. It would probably sell great over here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

92merc Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I kinda like it. It's weird because I used to hate Toyota's styling. The last couple of years, they're new models actually look decent. Pictures are hard to tell, but it kinda appears to be a slightly lowered and maybe longer version of the RAV4? I'm guessing with Ford coming up with more variants of CUV's, this is Toyota's foray into more CUV's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Not sure where this fits in the lineup? Styling is an improvement over recent Toyotas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the article: Quote The Corolla Cross enters the lineup below the RAV4 as the sensible sibling to the style-focused C-HR. Sharing the same TNGA-C platform and 103.9-inch wheelbase as the C-HR, the Thai-market Corolla Cross stands 175.5 inches long, 71.9 inches wide, and 63.8 inches tall. Those numbers make it three inches longer, one inch wider, and two inches taller than our C-HR.

atomcat68 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 It will probably take the place of the not needed Corolla iM they inherited from Scion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-150 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 With this a half step down and the Venza a half step up from the RAV, plus the CHR and Highlander, I see Toyota crowding their own showroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AGR Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 I read somewhere that they will revive the Matrix name for this CUV when it goes on sale in the USA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford's showrooms will be crowded: EcoSport, Escape, Bronco Sport, Edge, and Explorer CUVs; Bronco and Expedition SUVs, and Fusion "Outback" wagon.
