Toyota Announces Development of Monocoque Pickup Derived from Corolla Cross, with Exclusive Features and Advanced Safety Systems, Set to Launch in the First Half of 2026, and Manufactured in Sorocaba, São Paulo.
Toyota is expanding its product lineup with a highly anticipated launch: a monocoque pickup derived from the popular Corolla Cross. With production scheduled to take place in Sorocaba, São Paulo, based on information released by AutoEsporte, this new model promises to combine the robustness of a pickup with the sophistication and comfort already known from the brand’s SUV.
Sharing the TNGA platform of the Corolla Cross, the pickup not only inherits characteristics from its “sibling” SUV, but also innovates with exclusive components, such as distinctive headlights and bumpers, and a conventionally opening bed cover. Inside, the highlight is the new electronic parking brake system with Auto Hold function and exclusive details in the seats, door trims, and dashboard, reinforcing the unique identity of the model.
What Will Be the Engine of the New Corolla Pickup?
Under the hood, the entry-level versions come with the 2.0 Dynamic Force Flex engine producing 177 hp with ethanol and 169 hp with gasoline, paired with a CVT transmission that simulates seven gears. For those seeking even more power and efficiency, Toyota will offer a plug-in hybrid version, combining a 2.5 gasoline engine from the RAV4 Hybrid and two electric motors. This setup delivers a superior driving experience, with a combined output of 222 hp, which can be increased due to the Flex system.
