  "generalInfo": "The Toyota Corolla Cross is a compact crossover SUV that debuted globally in 2020 and reached the North American market as a 2022 model. Built on Toyota’s TNGA‑C architecture, it sits below the RAV4 in Toyota’s lineup and is offered with conventional gasoline and electrified hybrid powertrains; front‑wheel drive is standard with AWD available. The Cross is positioned as a practical, fuel‑efficient small SUV with a roomy cargo hold for the class and Toyota Safety Sense driver‑assist technology standard across the range.\n\nFor 2026 the Corolla Cross received a mid‑cycle refresh that sharpens exterior styling and updates interior tech (larger available touchscreen and reconfigured console). The lineup continues to offer a naturally aspirated 2.0‑liter I4 gas model (around 169 hp) and multiple hybrid grades; non‑hybrid MSRPs for the U.S. 2026 range from the high‑$20k to low‑$30k band on the gas side, while hybrid grades are offered above that. The Corolla Cross is best known for straightforward packaging, competitive hybrid efficiency, and Toyota’s long list of standard safety systems.",
