Hybrid drivers get a unique fully-digital gauge cluster with a cool center circular dial that looks like a tachometer ( it’s actually a power meter) along with a digital speedometer, drive computer, and crescent-shaped temp and fuel level gauges. A chunky leather-trimmed steering wheel and shift knob along with stylish LED lighting also make you glad you opted for the XSE. Being a top-trim XSE, you get the plus treatment with SofTex (faux leather to you and me) trim, and a very comfortable, 10-way power adjustable driver seat. Inside, the Cross Hybrid retains the family resemblance to the Corolla sedan – with a taller, more upright vibe. It really turned heads and got lots of thumbs up! And speaking of badness, we just loved our tester’s Acidic Blast (we kid you not!) paint scheme – sort of a pistachio metallic gone evil.

We do like the black-out badging for its added badness. The rear picks up the sporty design cues of the standard model, with sleek horizontal LED taillights and a blacked out lower fascia for some added ruggedness. sport alloy wheels with a tasteful black-painted machine finish.

Our tester also got some added spice with a two-tone paint job, and unique 18 in. We liked that Toyota carried over the “Corolla Cross” engraved in the upper chrome panel. The profile is largely unchanged, with bulgey fender flares, scooped-in side doors and a swept back C-pillar.
