Grade-by-Grade Pricing, Seating and Feature Breakdown
2026 Toyota Corolla Cross Price, Seating Capacity & Features in North Hollywood
The 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross arrives at North Hollywood Toyota as a refreshed compact SUV in three gas grades, with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 standard on every one. Below is how it is configured, what separates the grades, and what the numbers actually say.

How Many People Does the 2026 Corolla Cross Seat?
Five passengers across two rows — no third row on any grade
The 2026 Corolla Cross seats five passengers across two rows. It is strictly a two-row compact SUV, and no grade offers a third-row option. Rear legroom is the tightest dimension in the cabin and suits average-sized adults on shorter drives.
Interior Dimensions at a Glance
| Measurement | Specification |
|---|---|
| Seating capacity | 5 passengers, 2 rows |
| Front legroom | 42.9 in. |
| Rear legroom | 32.0 in. |

Standard Interior Equipment

- LATCH child-seat anchors
- Rear-seat vents standard across the lineup

📋 Cargo Trade-Off Worth Knowing
All-wheel-drive hardware reduces cargo room behind the second row from 24.0 to 21.5 cubic feet. If maximum cargo space matters more than traction, front-wheel drive is the better configuration.

Crash-Test Ratings
âš What the Ratings Currently Show
IIHS lists the 2026 Corolla Cross as a Top Safety Pick under its 2025 award criteria. It did not earn a 2026 award — IIHS tightened its 2026 criteria to require a good rating in the updated moderate overlap front test, and the Corolla Cross rates acceptable. NHTSA has not published crash-test ratings for the 2026 Corolla Cross.

Engine and Performance Specifications
One engine, two drivetrain configurations
Every gas grade uses the same 2.0-liter Dynamic Force four-cylinder paired to a CVTi-S transmission with a physical first gear. The only mechanical variable across the lineup is whether you choose front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.
Powertrain and Fuel Economy by Drivetrain
| Specification | Front-Wheel Drive | All-Wheel Drive |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | 2.0L Dynamic Force I-4 | 2.0L Dynamic Force I-4 |
| Horsepower | 169 hp | 169 hp |
| Torque | 151 lb-ft | 151 lb-ft |
| Transmission | CVTi-S | CVTi-S |
| City mpg | 31 EPA-Estimated | 29 projected† |
| Highway mpg | 33 EPA-Estimated | 31 projected† |
| Combined mpg | 32 EPA-Estimated | 30 projected† |
| Available on | L, LE, XLE | L, LE, XLE |
†All-wheel-drive figures are projected EPA-estimated ratings as determined by the manufacturer.
EPA-estimated fuel economy figures are for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on driving conditions, how you drive and maintain your vehicle, battery age/condition, and other factors.
How All-Wheel Drive Works
- Toyota's Dynamic Torque Control system sends up to 50 percent of power to the rear wheels when traction calls for it
- The system disengages completely when the rear axle is not needed
- That disengagement is how all-wheel-drive models hold a projected 30 mpg combined
Towing Capability
| Towing Specification | Rating |
|---|---|
| Maximum towing capacity | 1,500 lbs. |
| Maximum tongue weight | 150 lbs. |
| Required equipment | Available Toyota tow hitch accessory |
| Available on | All gas grades, FWD or AWD |
âš Towing Requires the Accessory Tow Hitch
The 1,500-pound rating applies only when the vehicle is properly equipped with the available Toyota tow hitch accessory. A Corolla Cross without the factory hitch is not rated to tow.
Maximum towing and payload capacity figures are based on properly equipped vehicles and vary by configuration. Do not exceed any weight rating. See your owner's manual and the vehicle's door-jamb label for specific capacities.
What Is the Price Difference Between FWD and AWD?
The upcharge is not uniform — it steps up at the top of the range
All-wheel drive is optional across the entire gas lineup. The upcharge holds steady through the L and LE, then increases on the XLE.
2026 Corolla Cross TSRP by Grade and Drivetrain
| Grade | Front-Wheel Drive | All-Wheel Drive |
