In this thrilling episode by The Fast Lane Car, we dive headfirst into the fascinating world of Toyota's innovative all-wheel drive system featured in the Corolla Cross. Buckle up as the team puts this cutting-edge technology to the ultimate test in the challenging TFL slip test and trenches course. With no traditional driveshaft in sight, Toyota opts for a hybrid system in the front and an electric motor solely for the rear axle, promising a unique driving experience.

As the Corolla Cross faces the front wheel slip test, the team uncovers the system's struggles in generating sufficient torque output to conquer challenging terrains. Moving on to the diagonal slip test and the three-wheel slip test, it becomes evident that this all-wheel drive setup falls short in providing the necessary traction intervention, leaving much to be desired in terms of performance. Despite its innovative design, the Corolla Cross fails to deliver the expected results in these rigorous trials.

Delving deeper into the engineering marvels of the Corolla Cross, the team explores its McPherson strut front suspension, ECVT with electric motors, and the unique absence of a driveshaft connecting the front and rear ends. With a keen eye on the vehicle's rear suspension and integrated electric motor and differential unit, the intricacies of Toyota's design choices come to light. While the Corolla Cross may not be tailored for off-road adventures, its performance in the trenches pit course raises questions about its overall capability and leaves room for improvement in future iterations.
