What’s new

The facelift brings a cleaner, more confident look: a new honeycomb front grille, refreshed front and rear light signatures (with full-surface LED guides), and detail changes including revised 18-inch alloys and an embossed Corolla Cross rear badge. Inside, Toyota targets everyday usability with a larger centre console, sliding storage, extra phone cubbies and updated cup holders. New high-damping materials and added insulation aim to reduce road and wind noise for a calmer drive.

Hybrid power, two outputs

Irish buyers can choose Hybrid 1.8 or Hybrid 2.0, giving the same easy, self-charging hybrid experience with a choice of performance. The Corolla Cross continues as a practical, efficient gateway to electrified motoring.

GR SPORT arrives (Oct 2025)

For the first time, the Corolla Cross line-up adds a GR SPORT grade, tuned for a more dynamic look and feel. Highlights include fully machined 19-inch black alloys, a dedicated GR front grille, gloss-black Toyota badge, and an exclusive Storm Grey bi-tone finish. The cabin gets Alcantara seats with red stitching and GR logos. First Irish cars are due October 2025.

Safety and tech

Toyota T-Mate is standard, combining the latest Toyota Safety Sense (generation 3) with additional driver-assist and parking aids; over-the-air updates keep systems current. Infotainment is handled by Toyota Smart Connect with a 10.5-inch HD touchscreen, while all grades get a 12.3-inch digital driver display. Wireless charging is now standard, with Android connectivity and charging speeds improved (≈1.5×) to match Apple CarPlay performance. Upper trims add ambient lighting, heated seats and a heated steering wheel.

More than 5,000 Corolla Cross models have been sold here since its 2022 launch. The updated car is in dealerships now and available for immediate delivery. Test drives can be arranged through your local Toyota retailer.
