I wonder if and when the Cross gets to the US if there will be more than one trim level that is not a hybrid.

A basemodel with the same 2.0-Liter 4-Cylinder (CVTi-S) found in the CH-R would be a good option.

It seems like in other markets there is only one base level non- hybrid.
I would love to see the 170 hp D4S and iMT 6 speed manual from the Corolla SE, along with at least the standard Dynamic Torque Control AWD and at least 8.0" of ground clearance, with some recovery points front and rear.

Make a viable alternative to the Subaru Crosstrek. That 6 speed iMT is tantalizing in the Corolla, but I need more crossover features as I like camping so put it in the Corolla Cross.

Actually, I think it would make perfect sense to offer it in the same trims and power trains as the Corolla. Just add AWD, and tow loops or hooks to drag me out of the snow if/when I do get stuck. The RAV4 also needs recovery points. Sooner or later, everybody gets stuck.

I'd have to think an American model would have the 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine as the base model. That way it keeps the cost down.

But you think there will be only one non-hybrid level?
It would be nice to have a Corolla Cross hybrid PHEV AWD version. That would be the best of the best, killing all others.
Let's hope for the best.

Well I think a hybrid AWD would be popular. I am not sure that a PHEV would be, but you never know. 🙂

But as for me , I would be happy with a FWD normally aspirated model. I might even take the plunge to a hybrid if the price is right.

I think so, as everyone shifts to hybrid and electric models there's going to be less engine options to choose from.

Today, at the news conference, my question was answered. They are all 2.0 engines on 3 levels ...L,LE and XLE.
Hybrids are expected later. So I am very happy with the normal engine selection through 3 grades!

Also don't need AWD, but happy for others that want that.
