Overview
- The SPAD-built prototype debuts at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas from November 4 to 7 as an off-road reinterpretation of the Corolla Cross.
- Major hardware changes include heavy-duty bumpers, oversized arch protection, a lift with Fox shocks, Toyota Tundra wheels, and Toyo Open Country A/T III tires.
- Outdoor-focused additions feature an articulated roof rack with basket, cargo drawers with a sliding refrigerator, extensive LED lighting, and a custom-finished interior plus a downhill bike.
- Toyota says the multi-location build relied on CAD development, 3D printing, and CNC machining to realize bespoke parts and fitment.
- Media reports describe a hybrid AWD setup with a 2.0 Atkinson engine and three electric motors totaling 196 hp, though Toyota has not confirmed the powertrain and some coverage notes no mechanical changes beyond using an AWD variant.
