Moreover, both the variants will feature ABS, Hill Start Assist, parking sensors and passenger seat sensors as the standard.

Price:
Basic variability is reported to be lacking in many basic SUV features in terms of its price range. However, because it is a CBU, the initial price of the Corolla Cross will be Rs. 8.5 million, more expensive than the big and more controversial Toyota Fortuner – midsize, 7-seat SUV with a price tag of Rs. 7.7 million.
