New Model of Toyota Corolla Cross Unveiled, Yet the Headlines Continue to Break
The brand-new 2025 Toyota Corolla Cross GR Sport is all set to invade Portugal's landscape this summer! Spoiler alert – this guy's got some serious upgrades, starting with the display of a bold, new version dubbed GR Sport.
You might wonder what 'GR' stands for, right? Well, it's short for 'Gazoo Racing', a name that speaks volumes about its sporty essence. The 19-inch swoon-worthy alloy wheels, a unique grille, and some indispensable gloss black Toyota logos on the exterior add to its stylish charm. Indoors, it's all about the red seat details that scream enough "Vroom, vroom!"
Suspension? Lowered by 10 millimeters for enhanced handling and lust-worthy, sporty looks. But the showstopper is undeniably the Sport mode – it alters the accelerator and deceleration response, making every drive a heart-pounding experience. However, no surprises on the powertrain front; it's still a 100% hybrid with no external charging.
So, let's break it down: the powerhouse combines a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine with an electric motor and a 2kWh lithium-ion battery. Two options are available – the Hybrid 140, offering 140 horsepower, and the Hybrid 200, shining bright with 197 horsepower.
But that's not all! The front sports a ravishingly reduced front grille, the rear flaunts a brand-new light signature, the center console looks larger, and a slick new gearshift lever can be found in the cockpit.
On the tech side, the vehicle's interior benefits from improved silence for a quiet cabin, an upgraded center console, and a 10.5-inch touchscreen featuring Toyota's Smart Connect system.
And yes, the news doesn't end here. Base Corolla Cross models make their entrance first in the European market this summer, with the GR Sport version hitting the scene in the fall.
Oh, and did we mention the GR Sport variant boasts a "Storm Grey" paint option, distinctive black 19-inch alloy wheels, and a redesigned center console for better smartphone storage and lightning-fast charging? Whoa!
