Toyota has unveiled the mid-life changes for the 2024 Corolla Cross, its highly successful midsize SUV in Brazil. The model received a new, bolder, and more modern design that promises to attract even more consumers, according to the website Canaltech.
New Design and Changes to the Front of the Corolla
The 2024 Corolla Cross features significant changes to the front, with new headlights and a completely remodeled grille, combining a horizontal bar with a honeycomb-shaped perforated bumper. The look, inspired by 100% electric SUVs, brings a unique identity to the model, which remains available only in combustion and hybrid versions.
One of the main changes in the SUV’s interior is the replacement of the controversial foot-operated parking brake, which is now a button on the center console. This Toyota update, already present in the Thai version, is expected to arrive soon to the Brazilian market, along with other design updates.
