The Toyota Corolla Cross ticks many boxes but not much is said about its towing capabilities. Here's how much you are able to tow with the Toyota Corolla Cross and what the limitations are for each model derivative.
The Toyota Corolla Cross has been a hit since it first launched a few years ago. Attractive styling, excellent practicality and a price that’s hard to beat. It offers you a D-segment-sized vehicle at a C-segment price, making it ideal for a family that needs a little more space. If you’re a family though, you may be wanting to do family things and sometimes that involves towing, making you wonder, “Can you tow with a Toyota Corolla Cross?”
All Toyota Corolla Crosses are powered by a 1.8-litre engine, but there are two options when it comes to this engine. You can opt for the regular 1.8-litre petrol offering or the 1.8-litre Hybrid with electrical assistance. This is an important fact because the 1.8-litre engines used in these two are a little different. Without getting into details, the engine in the Hybrid produces a little less power and relies on the electric assistance to make up the deficit.
