2026 Toyota Corolla Cross XLE Overview near Woodland Hills, CA

Obtain capability and cargo space without compromise inside the 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross XLE, a mid-tier trim of the adored subcompact SUV. After reading this overview from us at Northridge Toyota, come by our showroom near Woodland Hills during our hours of operation to see one up close and form an opinion. 
Performance
An EPA-estimated 31/33/32 MPG city/hwy/combined¹ fuel efficiency rating awaits those who purchase this trim level in its FWD format. Yet, an available AWD drivetrain is recommended for those who need more control to leave the paved roads behind and head toward an adventure. Like the rest of the Toyota Corolla Cross models, the XLE utilizes a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine, and it creates 169 horsepower and 151 lb.-ft. of torque to help you cruise to the Pierce College campus. Dampening the energy from striking potholes is a suspension configuration comprising an independent MacPherson strut front kit combined with a torsion beam rear feature, providing comfort and control for the pilot. 
Interior
Take advantage of the impressive 42.9 inches of legroom in the front row to make certain that you and your copilot don’t feel cramped inside the 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross XLE. You’ll also notice that this trim level integrates ambient lighting, which accentuates the other upgraded features, like the satin-finish interior door handles and the leather-trimmed steering wheel. Buyers enjoy other amenities when buying this particular Corolla Cross, especially in the cockpit. For example, SofTex® upholstery covers a 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with lumbar support. Both chairs in the front of this car are heated, too, so you have a way to warm up when the winter mornings are a bit cooler than you’d like. 
Technology 
The updated 10.5-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia system is larger than the one you get on the entry-level trim of this model. While it comes with 6 standard speakers, you may upgrade to the optional 9-speaker JBL®² Premium Audio System that comes with both a subwoofer and amplifier for high-quality listening. Another upgrade to the front row of the Toyota Corolla Cross XLE is found directly in front of the driver in the shape of the 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, presenting valuable data to you while you’re in motion. This trim level of the compact SUV also has a total of four USB ports³ as well as a wireless charging pad⁴, so you can top off your phone’s battery before entering Shepard Stadium to watch a game.
