The steering is direct and gives good feedback, but we figure the car’s buyers will not notice such details. Red inserts inside indicates this is no ordinary Corolla Cross.
The Corolla Cross feels tardy in city traffic, which again poses the question why it is dressed up to resemble some of the world’s most able competition cars. The Corolla Cross GR-S is powered by a normally aspirated four-cylinder, 1 798 cc petrol engine that produces 103 kW of power at 6 400 rpm and 172 Nm of torque at 4 000 rpm.Īsked to move a kerb weight of 1 395 kg via a CVT transmission, the engine huffs, puffs and fights valiantly, but does very little to warrant Gazoo Racing nomenclature all over the vehicle.

After all, the Japanese carmaker’s pay-off line “GRRRRR” which plays on the Gazoo Racing abbreviation is one which indicates the sound of mean engine power. Therefore Toyota should brag by putting the Gazoo Racing badges and colours on their seriously fast road vehicles.
