| Safety rating | No crash-test rating for this versionnoteGlobal NCAP's two-star South African result for the Corolla Cross does not describe this derivative. The car it tested had no side head protection, and this version is fitted with curtain airbags, so it sits outside the specification that was assessed. This marks that particular result as not applying here — it does not mean the car can never be rated. If Global NCAP tests a version matching this specification, the result belongs on this page. Not applicable, established (Toyota gap-fill batch 1). Euro NCAP has not tested this vehicle. Applicability was established before treating the absence as missing data, per the catalogue research policy. The Euro NCAP and ANCAP 5-star Corolla Cross results (2022) describe the Japan-built car, which carries curtain airbags, a driver knee airbag and a front centre airbag plus full TSS. This is a different, better-equipped vehicle and its result must not be written here. ANCAP states its rating covers "all variants excluding the GR Sport, which is unrated".

What we can't tell you yet
Everything below was searched for. Lines marked (unverified) show a figure that only one source gives, or that sources disagree on; the rest have not been published anywhere we could find for this version.
- Fuel grade — Toyota does not state the fuel grade for this engine in any market we could find.
- 0-100 km/h (unverified) — 11.96 seconds, measured in a South African road test of the 1.8 Hybrid XS, which has the same powertrain.
- Boot (seats folded) — Toyota does not publish a seats-folded boot figure for this Corolla Cross.
- Kerb weight — Toyota publishes the kerb weight as a range (1 385–1 430 kg), not a single figure.
- Payload — Derivable only as a RANGE and “Payload” is a scalar integer: GVM 1 850 kg (the hybrid row; the petrol GVM is 1 815) minus kerb 1 430/1 385 kg gives 420-465 kg. pdf. Toyota SA publishes no payload row. Not collapsed, for the same reason as “Kerb weight”.
- Battery (usable) — Toyota publishes no hybrid battery capacity for the Corolla Cross. The capacity changed with the facelift, and no South African source states which pack the current car carries.
- Battery (gross) — Toyota publishes no hybrid battery capacity for the Corolla Cross. The capacity changed with the facelift, and no South African source states which pack the current car carries.
