2026 Corolla Cross Specs in DeRidder

Meet the 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross in DeRidder, LA

The 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross is a small SUV for shoppers who want easier maneuverability than a larger utility vehicle without giving up a liftgate, a fold-flat second row, or available all-wheel drive. Its five-passenger cabin and three-trim lineup make it a practical fit for commutes, errands, road trips, and the changing cargo demands of everyday life in DeRidder.

Every gas-powered Corolla Cross uses a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and a Direct Shift-CVT. L, LE, and XLE trims are each offered with front-wheel drive or Dynamic Torque Control AWD, allowing shoppers to balance efficiency, traction, comfort, and technology. An 8.1-inch ground clearance also gives the Corolla Cross useful separation from rough pavement and uneven driveways while preserving compact dimensions.

A Cabin Designed to Adapt Throughout the Week

The 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross interior seats five and uses a 60/40-split, fold-flat second row, making it simple to change the cabin from passenger duty to cargo duty. L and LE trims have fabric-trimmed seats, while XLE adds SofTex®-trimmed seating, heated front seats, and a 10-way power-adjustable driver's seat with lumbar support.

Front passengers receive 42.9 inches of legroom, and rear passengers have 32.0 inches. Climate equipment varies by trim: L has manual air conditioning, LE has automatic single-zone climate control, and XLE provides automatic dual-zone climate control. Every setup includes an air filter and rear-seat vents. Cargo capacity depends on drivetrain. Front-wheel-drive models provide 19.6 cubic feet behind the second row and 46.9 cubic feet with the second row folded. AWD models offer 17.1 cubic feet behind the second row and 44.0 cubic feet behind the front seats. Lower anchors for compatible child seats are included in the rear seating area.

A City-Friendly Shape With Useful Exterior Details

At 175.6 inches long and 71.9 inches wide without mirrors, the Corolla Cross is sized for parking lots and daily traffic while retaining the upright stance of a small SUV. It measures 64.8 inches tall with the antenna and rides on a 103.9-inch wheelbase. Black rocker panels and overfenders add visual definition across the lineup.

Wheel designs help distinguish the trims. L uses 17-inch steel wheels with covers, LE moves to 17-inch silver-painted alloy wheels, and XLE receives 18-inch machined and dark-gray-metallic-finished alloy wheels. LED daytime running lights and a color-keyed rear spoiler are included throughout the range. LE and XLE add black roof rails, rear privacy glass, and gloss-black heated power mirrors with turn-signal and blind-spot-warning indicators. XLE also includes LED fog lights and premium LED taillights.

• Wind Chill Pearl
• Sonic Silver
• Celestite Gray Metallic
• Jet Black

Predictable Power With Available AWD Traction

A 2.0-liter Dynamic Force four-cylinder engine gives every 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross 169 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque. The Direct Shift-CVT keeps the powertrain straightforward across L, LE, and XLE, so the main drivetrain decision is between front-wheel drive and available Dynamic Torque Control AWD. Drivetrain choice also changes the rear suspension. FWD models use a torsion-beam rear suspension, while AWD models receive a multi-link rear suspension with a stabilizer bar. Electric power steering and a 35.4-foot curb-to-curb turning circle support the Corolla Cross's easy-to-park character in town.

The Corolla Cross has an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 31 mpg city, 33 mpg highway, and 32 mpg combined for FWD configurations. AWD models have an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 29 mpg city, 31 mpg highway, and 30 mpg combined. The L AWD is rated at 29 mpg city, 32 mpg highway, and 30 mpg combined. Actual mileage will vary. Maximum towing capacity is 1,500 pounds, and payload ranges from 1,120 to 1,175 pounds depending on trim and drivetrain; shoppers should confirm the rating for the exact configuration they are considering.

Connected Technology That Scales by Trim

The Corolla Cross organizes its technology around core connectivity and a clear trim progression. L covers the essentials, LE adds device conveniences and more available upgrades, and XLE expands the display experience. Connected-service trials and subscription requirements vary by feature and trim.

• An 8-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen on L and LE, with a 10.5-inch system standard on XLE and available on LE

Standard Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0
