2026 Toyota Corolla Cross price, spec details leaked
A dealer bulletin shared on the Toyota Corolla Cross Owners Australia group on Facebook reveals the entire lineup will receive a $960 price hike, while also detailing some of the spec changes coming to the small crossover SUV.
Toyota has previously confirmed a local launch for the upgraded small SUV in the second half of 2025. We've contacted the company for an update.
Per the bulletin, the Corolla Cross will arrive at dealerships in late July in both GX and Atmos trims, with the GXL and new GR-S trim (pictured below) arriving in early October.

The bulletin mentions 'production delays due to pending certification' for the GXL and GR-S, which were originally set to arrive alongside the rest of the range.
The updated lineup will open at $37,440 before on-road costs for the base front-wheel drive GX, and top out at $50,990 before on-roads for both the all-wheel drive Atmos and GR-S.
All variants get HF01234YF refrigerant for their air-conditioning systems and an Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS) to alert passersby to the hybrid SUV's presence.
The front and rear Parking Support Brake function, which applies the brakes if it detects an object or vehicle and which was previously exclusive to the Atmos, is being rolled out to the GX and GXL. Supplied Credit: CarExpert
The GXL also picks up the following features from the Atmos: Rain-sensing wipers
Surround-view camera
Snow drive mode (all-wheel drive model only)
Wireless phone charger
Heated front seats
The Atmos gains ventilated front seats.
There's also updated centre console trim for the GX, GXL and Atmos. Supplied Credit: CarExpert
The new GR-S (or GR Sport) variant revealed in May features unique front and rear bumpers, as well as lower sports suspension, retuned steering, and unique 19-inch alloy wheels.
Ever since petrol-powered variants were dropped locally in 2024, all Australian-market Corolla Cross vehicles come with a 2.0-litre four-cylinder hybrid powertrain delivering 146kW of total system power.
The wider range receives refreshed exterior styling including new LED headlight internals for the GXL and Atmos.
Toyota may be the best-selling car brand in Australia by a country mile, but the Corolla Cross was only the seventh best-selling vehicle in its segment last year, behind the MG ZS, Hyundai Kona, GWM Haval Jolion, Mazda CX-30, Mitsubishi ASX and Subaru Crosstrek. Supplied Credit: CarExpert

Banks lead the charge as ASX finishes heavily in the green
Shareholders have shrugged off the potential for fewer interest rate cuts, as strong earnings particularly out of Westpac drive the ASX 200 higher. The benchmark ASX 200 closed 46.70 points, or 0.53 per cent, higher to finish the day at 8,873.80, while the broader All Ordinaries finished 46 points or 0.51 per cent higher to 9,149.10. The Aussie dollar slipped 0.14 per cent and is now buying 65.41 US cents. Overall eight of the 11 sectors finished higher, led by utilities and financials stocks. The bounce in financials comes just a day after the Commonwealth Bank announced its results which dragged the sector lower. Westpac shares soared 6.31 per cent to $36.04 after the banking giant announced its unaudited statutory net profits for the last quarter jumped 14 per cent to $1.9bn. Its all important core net interest margin was up 0.05 per cent to 1.85 per cent, while revenue jumped 4 per cent. Shares reached a decade high on the result. NAB jumped 1.89 per cent to $38.88 and ANZ gained 1.98 per cent to $32.50 on the back on Westpac's results. CBA continued its slide, down 1.13 per cent to $167.21. Kodari Securities founder and chief executive Michael Kodari said big banks would likely drive the market higher. 'The big four continue to offer attractive value, particularly when compared to global peers,' he said. 'Following strong profit and fresh all-time high for Westpac, there could be more gains from the big banks over the next six months, likely taking the S&P/ASX 200 to a fresh record by the year's end.' Investors also shrugged off figures released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics showing the unemployment rate fell to 4.2 per cent in July, from 4.3 per cent, despite it impacting future rate cuts. VanEck head of investment and capital markets Russel Chesler said the data-driven Reserve Bank could pause further interest rate cuts. 'To nip inflation in the bud – an outcome that should help ease cost of living as well as interest rates – we think labour conditions need to loosen more than they have to date,' he wrote in an economic note. 'The unemployment rate is still at historically low levels.' On a jammed pack day of reporting, Telstra shares slumped 2.61 per cent to $4.85 after the telco announced statutory net profit for the last financial year came in at a substantial $2.17bn, up nearly 34 per cent on this time last year. Healthcare imaging software group Pro Medicus posted a 40 cent increase in net profits to $115.2m on the back of new contracts in American hospital and radiology clinics. Shares jumped 6.24 per cent to $315.69 on the back of the announcement. Suncorp Group shares rose 3.64 per cent to $20.77 after it announced its net profits after tax came in at $1.8bn after the business benefited from a favourable natural hazard experience and positive net investment income of $766m. Redbubble parent company Articore announced it had its first profitable fourth quarter in five years, albeit on an EBIT basis. Overall net profit after tax improved 77 per cent to negative $1.4m. Articore Group shares were up 5.77 per cent to $0.275. Furniture retailer Temple and Webster shares soared 8.75 per cent to $28.35 after announcing record revenues of $601m for financial year 2025, up 21 per cent compared to this time last year.

Wall St dips as producer inflation data hits rate bets
Wall Street's main indexes have declined after a hotter-than-expected producer prices report dampened investor expectations of potential interest-rate cuts by the Federal Reserve this year. A Labor Department report showed the Producer Price Index rose 3.3 per cent on an annual basis in July, higher than the 2.5 per cent gain expected by economists polled by Reuters. On a monthly basis, it rose 0.9 per cent compared with an estimated 0.2 per cent rise. Traders lowered their Fed rate-cut expectations for the rest of the year to about 58 basis points, according to data compiled by LSEG, compared with about 63 bps before the report. But they are still fully pricing in a quarter-percentage-point cut in September. "It's sending a mixed message about the economy," said Peter Andersen, founder of Andersen Capital Management in Boston. "We have been too anxious to draw a conclusion that the economy is fine, it's not overheated. But this wholesale data does show that perhaps there is some inflation working and we shouldn't be so quick to conclude that we need to cut interest rates." In early trading on Thursdsay, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 164.29 points, or 0.37 per cent, to 44,757.98, the S&P 500 lost 16.84 points, or 0.26 per cent, to 6,449.74 and the Nasdaq Composite lost 22.69 points, or 0.10 per cent, to 21,690.45. Recent data reflecting labour market weakness and a moderate rise in consumer prices had strengthened expectations that the central bank will potentially lower interest rates next month. However, Thursday's report fanned concerns that US tariffs on imports could start to affect prices in the coming months and dampen a rally in US stocks that had helped the benchmark S&P 500 and tech-heavy Nasdaq log record highs over the past two sessions. On Thursday, nine of the 11 S&P 500 sectors declined, with materials, down 1.2 per cent, falling the most. Rate-sensitive small-caps and housing stocks also dropped more than 1.0 per cent each. Separate data showed the number of people in the US filing new applications for jobless benefits fell last week amid low lay-offs. A report also showed San Francisco Fed president Mary Daly pushed back against the need for a 50-basis-point interest rate cut next month, a day after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said an aggressive half-point cut was possible. Cisco Systems lost 1.0 per cent after the network equipment manufacturer's broadly in-line forecast did little to encourage investors. Deere & Co fell 8.0 per cent after the farm-equipment maker reported a lower quarterly profit and tightened its annual profit forecast while Tapestry plunged 17.6 per cent after the Coach handbag maker forecast annual profit below estimates. Both companies warned of tariffs affecting their business. Later in the day, investors will also tune into remarks from St Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, a Federal Open Market Committee voting member this year. Declining issues outnumbered advancers by a 5.05-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and by a 3.38-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq. The S&P 500 posted four new 52-week highs and no new lows while the Nasdaq Composite recorded 24 new highs and 31 new lows.

Body corporate changes force sellers to reveal hidden costs
Buyers of lots in community title schemes will no longer fear being ambushed by unknown fees and outstanding debts following new seller disclosure requirements from August 1. Under the changes, bodies corporate must provide the seller, upon request and a fee, with a body corporate certificate (BCC). In addition, bodies corporate must supply a Community Management Statement (CMS) which confirms the name of the body corporate and the regulation module that applies. The CMS usually contains the registered by-laws, including those that grant exclusive use to lots within the scheme. The heralded improvements will enhance transparency, consistency, and efficiency within Queensland's community titles sector. They will also empower buyers who will have greater upfront knowledge of the lot they want to purchase in a community titles scheme. The BCC is a 10-page document that contains basic as well as intricate information relating to the lot being put up for sale. The information includes how to contact the body corporate, accessing records and the regulation module (accommodation, commercial, smalls schemes or standard) that applies to the scheme. No longer affordable': Brisbane property boom hits the skids It will also provide financial information such as levies, insurance coverage and, more importantly, if there are any outstanding contributions or body corporate debts associated with the lot. There have been many new owners in the past who claimed to have been blindsided by outstanding debts associated with their purchase. If they had that information beforehand, they may have been able to negotiate the price down to compensate for the outstanding debt. The new disclosure requirements will allow prospective owners to factor in outstanding debts before making an offer to buy. Be mindful that even though the BCC contains vital information that could put a buyer at ease, it is not a silver bullet. There are still reasons for the buyer to conduct body corporate searches through their conveyancer. For instance, the BCC does not include information regarding: - building defects - body corporate expenses and liabilities - past, present or future body corporate disputes - court actions or orders made against the body corporate by an adjudicator, a tribunal or a court. The 10-page BCC has been available for download from early July. It allows bodies corporate to familiarise themselves with the information required which came into effect on August 1. It is incumbent on the seller to provide the BCC and CMS to the real estate agent when the property is listed for sale. Govt pays $3.3m for unliveable derelict house For bodies corporate, a lot of the information in a BCC will only need to be compiled once as it is an ongoing document. It will only need to be updated when changes such as amended by-laws are passed. The CMS has two schedules of lot entitlements – the Interest Schedule Lot Entitlements and the Contribution Schedule Lot Entitlements. These two schedules determine how the running costs for the administration, maintenance and insurance of common property, and the cost of utility services (water/electricity), are shared between lot owners. This will provide additional transparency on the costs and how they calculated for each lot.
