2026 Toyota Corolla Cross: The "Mini RAV4" Just Got BETTER! 🔋 (New Look & Tech Upgrade)

2026 Toyota Corolla Cross: The "Mini RAV4" Just Got BETTER! 🔋 (New Look & Tech Upgrade) The 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross has received its first major facelift, and Toyota finally fixed the boring interior! In this video, we review the refreshed 2026 Corolla Cross Hybrid to see if the new "Hammerhead" front end and updated technology make it the best compact SUV under $30k. We break down the two distinct new looks (Rugged Grille for Gas vs. Color-Matched for Hybrid), the new massive 12.3-inch Digital Gauge Cluster, and the 10.5-inch Multimedia Screen that finally replaces the old dated system. We also test the 196 HP Hybrid powertrain to see if it’s still the efficiency king of the segment. In this review, we cover: 🎨 The Facelift: Do you prefer the "Rugged" Gas look or the "EV-Style" Hybrid grille? 📱 Tech Overhaul: 12.3" Digital Dash & Wireless CarPlay (Finally standard on more trims!). 🚀 Performance: 0-60 Test (Is the Hybrid actually fast?). 🖌️ New Colors: First look at the "Cavalry Blue" and "Nightshade" trims. ❄️ AWD Test: Testing the Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive. 💰 Value: Why you should buy this instead of a base RAV4. ⚠️ Don't buy a Honda HR-V until you see these MPG numbers!
