Toyota City, Japan, September 14, 2021―Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota) has announced that it will launch the all-new Corolla Cross today, on September 14, 2021.
Since the launch of the first-generation in 1966, the Corolla series has continued to evolve and embrace new challenges based on the "plus alpha" concept, via which it seeks to exceed both the expectations of customers around the world and the needs of the times. In addition to the sedans, wagons, and hatchbacks that currently populate the line-up, the Corolla series has at various points featured a diverse range of models unencumbered by preconceived notions of body or style, with the goal of catering to ever-changing customer lifestyles. Today, the Corolla series is sold in more than 150 countries and regions around the world, and in July 2021 it achieved some cumulative sales of 50 million units.
The all-new Corolla Cross inherits the "plus alpha" concept of previous generations of the Corolla series, as well as its mission of "staying close to customers and continuing to evolve." The first-ever SUV Corolla model was born, aiming to offer a new innovative and expansive form for the new demands of the age. It combines the spacious interior and outstanding utility characteristic of an SUV with powerful performance and superb fuel efficiency.

The all-new Corolla Cross offers some of the best luggage capacity in its class, with 487 liters*5 available even when seating five. Folding the rear seats further expands the luggage area, providing sufficient space even for carrying road bicycles. The large luggage door is set at a height of 720 mm above-ground, to make it easier even for shorter users to load and unload luggage; the Hands-free Power Back Door*6―operated simply by carrying a key and placing one's foot under the rear bumper―allows the back door to be opened and closed even when both hands are full. The highly functional Luggage Active Box*7 has been specially designed for the Corolla Cross; it allows users to store luggage out of sight, while its lid can be shut flat to open up more luggage space. It thereby offers the potential for a wide range of luggage space layouts.
