The Toyota Corolla Cross takes the familiar Corolla recipe, lifts it up and dresses it in SUV clothes — sensible, comfortable and blessedly unflashy. It won’t thrill the enthusiast, but its easy manners, clever packaging and dependable feel make it an ideal everyday car for shoppers who prefer sense over sass.
