The Toyota Corolla Cross is a very important model for the Japanese automaker locally, not only because it is produced locally, but also because it has become a popular seller. But do the benefits of buying a new example outweigh getting a used model?

The Toyota Corolla Cross certainly does tick most boxes when it comes to family vehicles. Customers can choose between traditional internal combustion-powered variants and hybrid offerings for better fuel consumption. Either way, customers can expect a comprehensive crossover with loads of practicality.

But before you get an Instant Offer on your car and start your search for new or used Toyota Corolla Cross models on AutoTrader, let us first investigate to find out if the benefits of purchasing a new example outweigh those of getting into a used model.

Specification

The Toyota Corolla Cross can be had in various trim levels, namely; Xi, XS, XR and GR-Sport. While the Xi is the entry point to the range, customers will be happy to know that Toyota has included no less than five airbags, as well as the ABS brakes, stability control, hill-start assist and electronic brake assist as found on the rest of the derivatives.

The XR and GR-Sport benefit from two additional airbags, blind-spot monitoring and lane-keep assist systems. While the entire range comes fitted with a reverse camera, the XS trim offers rear park-distance sensors, while the XR and GR-Sport variants have front and rear units. Furthermore, XR and GR-Sport variant owners can expect adaptive cruise control whereas the XS and Xi provide a standard cruise control system.

In terms of aesthetics, the XR and GR-Sport variants offer 18-inch alloy wheels in place of the 17-inch alloy wheels found on the other trim levels. The GR-Sport also sees the wheels and other areas blacked out to give a more imposing look, while the hybrid variant gets blue accents to indicate the powertrain configuration.

Warranty and service

Whether the customer purchases the Xi, XS, XR or GR-Sport variant, they will get a 3-year / 100 000 km vehicle warranty. Hybrid models get an 8-year / 195 000 km warranty on the battery in addition to the vehicle warranty. Regardless of the derivative purchased, the customer will benefit from a 6-service / 90 000 km service plan.

Those considering a used example will be happy to know that the balance of the plans will transfer to the new owner provided that the vehicle wasn’t modified, was serviced according to the manufacturer’s schedule and hasn’t sustained damage. Before purchasing a used Toyota, we would recommend reaching out to a Toyota service centre to confirm if all the plans are still intact.

Depreciation

In a recent article, we investigated the depreciation of each of the Corolla Cross derivatives and, interestingly enough, found that every variant has slightly increased in value. Find the article, “Which Toyota Corolla Cross trim depreciates the fastest?”, here. This trend, however, should change in the near future as production is up and running again and the chip and wire loom shortages have mostly subsided, resulting in more units becoming available more quickly.

Verdict

Considering that the Toyota Corolla Cross is a relative newcomer still and that the residual values still remain strong, purchasing a new variant at this stage might be to the customer’s benefit considering you could choose the exact specification including the colour. However, if you search for new or used Toyota Corolla Cross models on AutoTrader, you might just find a really good deal.
