(September 27, 2023) PLANO, Texas — The Toyota Corolla Cross is adding even more style to the lineup with a Nightshade Special Edition for 2024. Available exclusively on the Corolla Cross Hybrid, and based on the SE grade, the Nightshade Edition brings a distinctive look to the already feature-packed entry SUV. Featuring 18-inch gloss black sport alloy wheels, black and red fabric trimmed interior with red accent stitching, and black accented head and tail lamps, it’s a low-key cool Corolla Cross with unique style.

 Built on the SE grade, additional details on the Corolla Cross Hybrid Nightshade include blacked-out badges, black outside door handles and mirrors, and an integrated rear lip spoiler. The finishing touch to the model’s exterior are three chic paint options, a stealthy Jet Black, Barcelona Red with Jet Black Roof, or Celestite Gray with Jet Black Roof. It is also equipped with standard accessories that are ready for life-on-the-go – like a roof rack for extra storage, wireless charging, frameless HomeLink Rearview Mirror, and standard carpet floormats.



The Corolla Cross Hybrid Nightshade joins the S, SE, and XSE grades for model year 2024. With three sport grades to choose from, drivers can find a Corolla Cross Hybrid that fits their budget and style. For model year 2024 the SE and XSE both receive an update to their wireless charger. The 2024 Corolla Cross Hybrid, along with the gas model that launched in 2021, is assembled in the U.S. at the new Mazda Toyota Manufacturing plant in Huntsville, Ala.

The Corolla Cross Hybrid Nightshade Edition and the rest of the Corolla Cross Hybrid lineup is expected to arrive at Toyota Dealerships this winter.

Available exclusively with Electronic On Demand All-Wheel Drive (e-AWD), the Corolla Cross Hybrid maximizes the inherent potential of its high-strength TNGA-C platform, enabling the model to achieve high-quality performance, a comfortable ride and outstanding spaciousness. What’s more, the surprising cargo capacity gives it the versatility to accommodate life’s adventures.

With the fifth generation Toyota hybrid system under the hood, coupled with the e-AWD system, the Corolla Cross Hybrid offers both power and fuel-economy. With 196 net system horsepower and an 8.0 second 0-60 time, the Corolla Cross Hybrid is fun to drive while having an impressive manufacturer-estimated 42 combined miles per gallon for all grades. Its Electronically controlled Continuously Variable Transmission (ECVT) also helps maximize fuel economy.

The Corolla Cross Hybrid is sporty in nature, representing the perfect complement to the gas-powered model. From an engineering perspective, it offers an approachable exterior as well as a higher line-of-sight thanks to the TNGA-C platform. The model also puts the “U” in SUV, with 21.5 cubic feet of rear cargo space with rear seats up, 1,500 pounds of towing capacity, and 8-inches of ground clearance. Its ride is supported by a sport-tuned double-wishbone multi-link rear suspension with coil springs, trailing arms, stabilizer bar and hydraulic shock absorbers, for a capable yet comfortable ride.
