Corolla Cross GR Sport pricing released
The reworked Toyota Corolla Cross GR Sport comes in three colours with the inclusion of bespoke touches inside and outside the vehicle.
Just over a week after making its debut at its annual State of the Motoring Industry conference, Toyota has released pricing of the facelift Corolla Cross GR Sport on its website, reports The Citizen.
What’s changed?
Omitted from the ‘standard’ model’s refreshed unveiling year, the GR Sport builds on its sibling’s aesthetic, but with the inclusion of the bespoke touches inside and out.
Externally, these include GR 18-inch dual-tone alloy wheels, a black honeycomb pattern GR grille, GR bumpers and door sills, black mirror caps, new front and rear faux skidplates and redesigned LED headlights.
As before, a choice of three two-tone colours is available, glacier white, chromium silver and arizona red, all topped with a gloss black roof.
Inside
Inside, the updates applied to the regular Corolla Cross have been bolstered by alloy pedals, red seatbelts and red stitch work.

Gone is the previous red insert on the dashboard, however, the GR starter button, GR embroidered front seat headrests, gloss black centre console and GR floor mats all remain.
