Personalizing your vehicle is one way of expressing yourself. When you elect to buy a vehicle that is rather popular you may be considering your options when it comes to accessorizing and adding extras. We pick out our favourite Toyota Genuine Accessories for the Toyota Corolla Cross.
The venerable Toyota Corolla Cross has taken the local market by storm. An affordable, reliable, and locally-built crossover SUV with loads of space and attractive looks, the Corolla Cross is in the sights of many looking to upgrade from their hatchbacks and sedans. It makes a great family vehicle and has safety to boot; what more could you ask for?
The Corolla Cross is available in three trim levels, each offering a different level of equipment. Toyota deliberately doesn’t offer extensive options lists so that you can anticipate the final cost of your new purchase a little better. What they do offer is a variety of accessories for you to customize or enhance your ownership experience. Heading over to the official Toyota website and selecting the Owners tab will guide you to their extensive catalogue of genuine accessories where you can select some amazing add-ons.
We’ve rounded up 5 of our favourites for you to consider.
1. Wireless Charger
While it’s all good and well to plug your phone in to charge it, it’s far more convenient to simply place your wireless charging-enabled smartphone on the pad and let it do its thing. You won’t have to worry about remembering your cable ever again.
2. Detachable Tow Bar
The Corolla Cross isn’t a heavyweight towing machine but that doesn’t mean that you won’t be able to tow a trailer with it. The 1.8 models can tow 700 kg unbraked and 800 kg braked while the hybrids can do 400 kg either braked or unbraked. In order to make use of this though you’re going to need a tow bar. This detachable one comes with a wiring harness.
3. Blind Spot Monitor
If you haven’t selected the XR trim level, your Corolla Cross won’t be fitted with blind-spot monitors. This extremely useful safety feature will alert you to a vehicle that may be positioned in your blind spot, making lane changes and exiting your vehicle safer.
4. Front Corner Garnish
This one isn’t only aesthetic, it will help protect the corners of your bumpers as you navigate parking lots and basements. It doesn’t hurt that it helps give your Corolla Cross a GR-Sport look!
5. 17-inch Alloy Wheels
It may not be to everyone’s tastes but gloss black wheels do offer a particularly serious look. Fitting a set of 17-inch Gloss Black Alloy wheels from Toyota will ensure that you’re Corolla Cross remains OEM and uses the same tyre size as your car originally came with.
