Exterior Features
The 2023 Corolla Cross maintains the same styling as the current model. All models come standard with LED headlights, but the base model is missing some niceties like alloy wheels and variable intermittent front wipers.
If you want a power sunroof and a roof rail, both of which are unavailable on the base model, the LE Upgrade is the better option. The XLE is the best option because it has larger alloy wheels, fog lights, and a power rear door.
Comfort Features
The interior of the Corolla Cross will look very familiar to anyone who has seen the regular Corolla sedan. Similar to the four-door model in terms of dashboard design and interior features. However, the Corolla Cross provides more room for passengers, particularly in the back. Its increased size also allows for more storage space.
Along with the 7.0-inch gauge cluster found in the XLE, all models now have a new and improved 4.2-inch gauge cluster as well.
The XLE model has nicer-looking faux-leather upholstery than the lower trims, heated front seats, a leather-wrapped shift knob, and a centre armrest that folds down for the convenience of rear seat passengers.
