OverviewToyota has taken all the best attributes of the Corolla Hybrid—fuel efficiency, affordability, and earnest value—and repackaged them into an SUV shape that goes by the name Corolla Cross Hybrid. The Corolla Cross is sold as a pokier nonhybrid version, but we review that model separately. When we drove the 2026 Corolla Cross Hybrid, we found that the driving experience doesn't change as a result of the updates. Fuel efficiency aside, the hybrid powertrain in the Corolla Cross Hybrid is notably more powerful and less gruff, a winning combination for any car. The Corolla Cross Hybrid offers 22 cubic feet behind the second row compared to the sedan’s 13 cubic-foot trunk and the hatchback's 18 cubic feet.
