Available now on our lot in Merced, the 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross gives drivers two excellent ways to hit the road with either gas-powered or hybrid engine options. For those seeking maximum efficiency with engaging performance, the 2026 Corolla Cross Hybrid pairs a 2.0-liter gas engine with a rear-mounted electric motor, producing a combined 196 horsepower. Standard all-wheel drive and a sport-tuned suspension make it confident and responsive, offering smooth acceleration for city streets or highway driving. Fuel economy is a standout, with an EPA-estimated 45 mpg city, 38 mpg highway, and 42 mpg combined, making it one of the most efficient options in its class. If you prefer a traditional powertrain, the gas-powered 2026 Corolla Cross is equally compelling. It comes with a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine producing 169 horsepower and is paired with a smooth CVT for effortless driving. Front-wheel drive comes standard, while all-wheel drive is available for added traction in varying road conditions. With up to 32 mpg combined, the gas model strikes an excellent balance between efficiency and everyday practicality, making it a perfect fit for commuting, errands, or weekend adventures.
Step inside the 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross, now available at our Merced showroom, and you’ll discover a cabin that blends comfort, practicality, and modern tech for drivers and passengers alike. The 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with lumbar support ensures long drives stay comfortable, while even the base trims feature high-quality fabric upholstery that feels refined and durable. Standard technology includes an 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus two USB ports to keep devices charged on the go. Moving up to higher trims, the Corolla Cross offers a larger infotainment display with intuitive pinch, tap, and swipe gestures, a wireless charging pad, and three USB ports. The interior also boasts thoughtful touches like soft-touch materials, ergonomic controls, and smart storage compartments for smaller items. Cargo space is generous for a compact SUV, offering 21.5 cubic feet behind the rear seats and a maximum of 61.8 cubic feet with the seats folded flat. Thanks to the low-load floor, stowing bulky gear—whether it’s camping equipment, groceries, or sports gear—is quick and hassle-free.
