All-New Compact SUV with Available AWD a Welcome Addition to the Corolla Family

PLANO, Texas (June 2, 2021) – For more than 50 years, Corolla has been synonymous with dependability, fuel efficiency, safety and value – and today, Toyota is evolving the series even further. Based on the ever-popular Corolla sedan, the all-new 2022 Corolla Cross, which made its U.S. debut today, is the bold compact crossover you didn’t know you needed until now.

It shares the Limited trim's X-REAS suspension and gets 20-inch wheels.

 

Is this a preview of what's to come with the hardcore Tacoma TRD Pro?

"The Toyota Sequoia is old. I mean, it's practically ancient in automotive terms, with the current generation having debuted for the 2008 model year. It's time for the ol' three-row to get sent to a farm upstate, and, according to a press release from Toyota issued on Wednesday, that might be happening sooner rather than later.

Now, I say "might be" because in its press release Toyota stated that it has two new three-row, eight-passenger SUVs in the works, both of which will be built at the company's Indiana plant, but it doesn't directly call them…

Today's headlines are mostly about hybrid, plug-in, and electric sports cars, sedans, SUVs, and even trucks! It's no secret that automakers have shifted their focus from developing gasoline-powered vehicles to ones with large batteries—and some are even ending the development of new internal combustion engines. Then there's Toyota, who appears to be developing an all-new twin-turbo V8 engine.

 

At the site of a recently shuttered factory, Toyoda commented on the significance of replacing a plant that’s churned out cars since the ‘60s with a 175-acre community to test future technologies such as autonomous vehicles. “It’s a new chapter in our story and in our industry,” Toyoda, grandson of the carmaker’s founder, said in an online video commemorating the groundbreaking.

As part of a wide-ranging electrification announcement detailed Sunday, Toyota confirmed it is developing electrified trucks, including fully electric and hybrid models. The Japanese manufacturer is not yet saying which model lines will receive these technologies, but the company says it "intends to bring electrification to its pickup truck lineup in the near future, including hybrid and BEV powertrains." Rumors persist that the third-generation full-size Tundra, expected to debut later this year, will be among those vehicles.

The TRD Pro has been the top-dog 4Runner model for seven years now. It's the most hardcore in terms of capability and appearance, which perhaps has made it desirable enough to warrant the hefty price tag. There is another factor, however: There has been a new, special color each year, several of which were once offered on the FJ Cruiser. It was Inferno Orange for 2015, Quicksand for 2016, Cement for 2017, Cavalry Blue for 2018, Voodoo Blue for 2019, Army Green for 2020 and now Lunar Rock for 2021.
