The touchscreen is responsive and clear, though the graphics are a little basic and uninteresting. We appreciate the dedicated physical buttons and knobs for the climate control, as well as the knobs for volume and tuning and the shortcut buttons for the infotainment. Everything is put together nicely with tight gaps, though. Some stitched soft plastic is front and center on the dash, but harder varieties are found in most other places. As is usually the case in the midcompact SUV segment, interior plastics are a mix. While the Corolla Cross exterior looks nothing like a Corolla, the interior is a spitting image with a fairly minimalist dashboard and an infotainment screen popping up out of the middle.

It's exceedingly fine, even, checking all the boxes want might expect for its segment. Actually, there's another thing the Cross shares with other Corolla's: it's fine. Although the name implies some sort of Subaru Crosstrek-like variant on the existing Corolla Hatchback, it's in fact just as distinctive a model as any number of small SUVs that only share their underlying vehicle platform with hatchbacks or sedans.
