Key details of the updated 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross lineup, including pricing, has been leaked online.
A dealer bulletin shared on the Toyota Corolla Cross Owners Australia group on Facebook reveals the entire lineup will receive a $960 price hike, while also detailing some of the spec changes coming to the small crossover SUV.
Toyota has previously confirmed a local launch for the upgraded small SUV in the second half of 2025. We’ve contacted the company for an update.
Per the bulletin, the Corolla Cross will arrive at dealerships in late July in both GX and Atmos trims, with the GXL and new GR-S trim (pictured below) arriving in early October.

The bulletin mentions “production delays due to pending certification” for the GXL and GR-S, which were originally set to arrive alongside the rest of the range.
The updated lineup will open at $37,440 before on-road costs for the base front-wheel drive GX, and top out at $50,990 before on-roads for both the all-wheel drive Atmos and GR-S.
All variants get HF01234YF refrigerant for their air-conditioning systems and an Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS) to alert passersby to the hybrid SUV’s presence.
The front and rear Parking Support Brake function, which applies the brakes if it detects an object or vehicle and which was previously exclusive to the Atmos, is being rolled out to the GX and GXL.
The GXL also picks up the following features from the Atmos:
- Rain-sensing wipers
- Surround-view camera
- Snow drive mode (all-wheel drive model only)
- Wireless phone charger
- Heated front seats
The Atmos gains ventilated front seats.
There’s also updated centre console trim for the GX, GXL and Atmos.
The new GR-S (or GR Sport) variant revealed in May features unique front and rear bumpers, as well as lower sports suspension, retuned steering, and unique 19-inch alloy wheels.
Ever since petrol-powered variants were dropped locally in 2024, all Australian-market Corolla Cross vehicles come with a 2.0-litre four-cylinder hybrid powertrain delivering 146kW of total system power.
The wider range receives refreshed exterior styling including new LED headlight internals for the GXL and Atmos.
Toyota may be the best-selling car brand in Australia by a country mile, but the Corolla Cross was only the seventh best-selling vehicle in its segment last year, behind the MG ZS, Hyundai Kona, GWM Haval Jolion, Mazda CX-30, Mitsubishi ASX and Subaru Crosstrek.
