5 Toyota Corolla Cross accessories you didn’t know you needed.

We list what we think are the top five accessories for a Toyota Corolla Cross, ranging from practical to just plain stylish.

Car Ownership

The Toyota Corolla Cross has become quite a popular offering from the Japanese automaker. This means that even if you have chosen a less popular colour, chances are you might see the exact specification on the road at times. This is one of the reasons why some vehicle owners decide to add a few personal touches to their car. But not all accessories need to be stylistic, some could be quite practical too.

In this article, we take a look at accessories that are available for the Toyota Corolla Cross from the OEM themselves. Remember that if you make modifications to your vehicle that are not OEM-approved, it could void your warranty.

1. Digital Video Recorder

One of the more practical options available on the accessories page of the Toyota Corolla Cross is this digital video recorder. Now you might wonder, why would you need a digital video recorder in your car. Well, this camera records video of events taking place in front of the vehicle while recording audio inside the vehicle. This video could be very helpful in the case of an accident and in determining which party is at fault. 

2. Wireless Charger

Assuming that you own a Toyota Corolla Cross in Xi or Xs trim which doesn't offer a wireless charger as standard equipment. Well, it is a very useful and practical accessory to get. Instead of fiddling with cables, you can just place your compatible smartphone on the charging pad and it will get charged during your trip. 

3. LED Fog Lamps

Practicality is not always at the top of the list when accessorizing a vehicle. However, if you want to drastically improve visibility outside of the vehicle in less-than-ideal conditions, a set of LED foglamps will most certainly make all the difference. Note that if you have a Corolla Cross in XR guise, you won't need these as those variants come with foglamps already installed.

4. Alloy Wheels

When the new Toyota Corolla Cross GR-Sport derivative came along, one of the first noticeable items on the variant is the black wheels. Well, now you can get yourself a set of 17-inch gloss black wheels in the same design for your Xi, XS or XR trim Corolla Cross.

5. Toyota Safety Film Kit

An accessory that will not only bolster the overall look of your Toyota Corolla Cross but also the occupant safety is the safety film kit available on the accessories page of the Toyota Corolla Cross. The safety film is available in 100 and 150 microns and can be had in a completely clear form, 50% opacity or 35% opacity.
