The fact that Toyota is calling its latest small crossover the Corolla Cross really tells you all you need to know about the new model. This crossover version aims to please the average buyer with the same combination of reliability, practicality, and efficiency as Toyota’s eponymous compact car, and it’s only logical for Toyota to extend the lineup to include a small-SUV variant given the current sales of anything with a raised ride height and plastic body cladding.

You may question whether Toyota needed yet another crossover, given that the automaker already sells seven SUV models in the U.S. But Toyota believes there is space for the Corolla Cross between the smaller and funkier C-HR and the larger and top-selling RAV4. Toyota is hoping that the space between the RAV4 and C-HR will be good for 100,000 annual sales. To hit that target, the Corolla Cross offers things that the C-HR lacks: an inoffensive design, decent cargo space, and optional all-wheel drive.
No wonder they have been fumbling on what to do with Fielder. You can see the scattered mind in the Fielder design. Corolla Cross is the death/rebirth of Fielder
