Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid: The Perfect Next Step for Toyota's Carbon Neutral Future

 Toyota has long been committed to reducing its carbon footprint, and the new Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid is a perfect example of this. With a starting manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of $27,970, the Corolla Cross Hybrid is a value-packed small crossover that offers an engaging driving experience and the functionality of a larger crossover. This sporty vehicle is set to arrive in US dealerships in June 2023, and it represents the perfect next step for the Corolla model line.


The all-new Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid is designed to be approachable from the outside, but it also offers a higher line-of-sight thanks to the revised TNGA-C platform. It's sporty by nature and boasts unique front and rear styling, along with available two-toned paint and 18-inch alloy wheels with sporty looks that are destined to stand out. And with eye-catching details not typically found in a small crossover, this vehicle is sure to turn heads.

But it's not just the design that sets the Corolla Cross Hybrid apart. This vehicle is incredibly packaged and comes jam-packed with features and specs at a great price point. Michael Tripp, vice president of Toyota marketing, sums it up perfectly: "Corolla Cross is an incredibly packaged vehicle, and adding the hybrid powertrain to the lineup is truly the cherry on top."

The 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid is available in three new grades: S, SE, and XSE. All grades feature standard heating and air conditioning vents for rear seat passengers, and higher grades can be outfitted with a power moonroof, as well as either single- or dual-zone automatic climate control. The XSE grade, which is the sportiest offering, features premium LED headlamps, taillamps, and fog lamps, along with Softex-trimmed seats that are heated in the front and a power driver's seat.

Inside, the Corolla Cross Hybrid is just as impressive as it is on the outside. Its spacious interior offers many of the same desirable features as its sedan and hatchback siblings, along with fabric-trimmed seats in Black/Gray or Black/Blue for the SE grade and SofTex-trimmed seats in Black or Black/Blue for the XSE grade. And with the new Toyota Audio Multimedia System, drivers, and passengers can stay connected and entertained on the go.

The most impressive thing about the Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid is its hybrid powertrain. With the new, fifth-generation Toyota Hybrid System under the hood and the Electronic All-Wheel Drive system new to the Corolla nameplate, this vehicle offers increased power and impressive EPA-estimated fuel-economy ratings. It has an impressive 42 combined miles per gallon rating for all grades, along with 196 horsepower and an 8-second 0-60 time. And thanks to the Lithium-Ion battery that powers the Fifth-Generation Hybrid System, the Corolla Cross Hybrid is more compact and lighter without compromising on power.

As part of Toyota's diverse approach to its carbon neutrality goal, the Corolla Cross Hybrid is another vehicle supporting the "beyond zero" effort. Beyond Zero represents Toyota's vision to reach beyond zero emissions through our products, services, and operations that positively impact our planet and society. With the Corolla Cross Hybrid, customers can reduce their carbon footprint while still enjoying a stylish and engaging driving experience.

In conclusion, the Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid is the perfect next step for Toyota's carbon-neutral future. Its unique design, value-packed features, and impressive hybrid powertrain make it a vehicle that's sure to impress. And with its affordable price point, the Corolla Cross Hybrid offers even more value for customers who want an eco-friendly vehicle without breaking the bank. Starting at just $27,970 MSRP, the Corolla Cross Hybrid is an excellent option for those who want a high-quality hybrid SUV without having to pay a premium price.

The Corolla Cross Hybrid is also a great choice for those who love to travel. Its impressive fuel efficiency of 42 combined miles per gallon means you can go further on a single tank of gas, which is perfect for road trips or long commutes. And with its spacious interior and comfortable ride, you'll arrive at your destination feeling refreshed and ready to explore.

But the Corolla Cross Hybrid is for more than just those who love to travel. It's also a great option for anyone who loves technology. The new Toyota Audio Multimedia System, with Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto and added USB-C charge ports, allows you to stay connected on the go. And with the available Connected Service Drive Connect trial or subscription, you can access Intelligent Assistant, Cloud Navigation, and Destination Assist, making your driving experience even more convenient and enjoyable.

Humble One is the world's first solar SUV

Image
 The Humble Motors project has just revealed the first images and data of what will be its first model, the Humble One, a 100% electric SUV that will have a roof covered with solar panels. Obviously, with current technology it is impossible for a vehicle to be powered exclusively by solar energy generated by its own panels, so we are talking about a conventional electric vehicle that has photovoltaic cells. A proposal similar to what we have already seen in projects such as Aptera or Sono Motors. Pure electric models that move are driven mainly by the energy stored in their batteries, although these are partly recharged by the vehicle's energy recovery system and in a small percentage by the solar panels. The first model presented by this new American company receives the name Humble One and is a crossover with a sporty appearance and compact size. The Humble One is going to have a very powerful engine, as the company advertises no less than a combined total power of 1,034 hp (1
