- Redesigned cup holders
- New gear shift knob and updated AC controls
Standard features like the 10.5-inch infotainment system, 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, panoramic sunroof, ambient lighting, and heated seats and steering wheel remain unchanged. The SUV also continues to offer Level 2 ADAS for enhanced driver assistance.
⚙️ Powertrains and Performance: No Changes, but AWD Gains Snow Mode
Mechanically, the 2025 Corolla Cross retains its two hybrid options:
- Hybrid 140: 1.8-litre petrol-electric with 140hp (0–100kph in 9.9 sec)
- Hybrid 200: 2.0-litre petrol-electric with 197hp (FWD: 7.6 sec, AWD: 7.5 sec)
A new addition is the Snow mode for the AWD version, enhancing grip in slippery conditions. No changes have been made to the engines or transmission systems.

Inside, the GR Sport gets Brin-Naub synthetic suede-like upholstery, highlighted with contrasting red stitching and GR logos for a more dynamic, performance-inspired cabin.
📌 Conclusion
The 2025 Toyota Corolla Cross, especially in its new GR Sport avatar, blends everyday practicality with stylish enhancements and refined interiors.
