The Corolla Cross sits below the RAV4 in Toyota’s SUV range both in terms of size and pricing but what can you do when you have the former but prefer the looks of the latter? Japanese tuner Exizzle-Line has the solution with a new RAV4-style bodykit for the Toyota Corolla Cross that was exhibited at the Tokyo Auto Salon combined with a number of off-road accessories.
The highlight of the RAVCross is the redesigned “Rivai” front bumper that mirrors the rugged-looking Adventure trim of the RAV4. It features a much larger hexagonal grille with Toyota lettering, plastic parts covering a portion of the headlights, faux side intakes housing foglights, and an aluminum-style skidplate under the blocked lower bumper inlet.

It also gets bolt-on plastic fender add-ons for a more adventurous look, and a new set of Delta Force 16-inch alloy wheels shod in grippier all-terrain tires. The off-road credentials of the crossover are improved with an AgeMaxxi suspension lift that increases ground clearance. Other goodies include a Rhino-Rack Pioneer platform for additional storage, ROAM Adventure cases with 52 liters (1.8 cubic feet) of storage each, KC HiLiTES LEDs to fight the darkness in the wilderness, and a Rhino-Rack Sunseeker retractable awning.
According to Exizzle-Line, the cost of the bumper is ¥203,500 ($1,584 at current exchange rates), not including the ¥9,900 ($77) Toyota lettering. The fender add-ons are priced at ¥49,500 ($385) while the roof rack is the most expensive part at ¥249,700 ($1,943). The suspension lift adds another ¥42,900 ($334), the roof-mounted LED lights ¥218,900 ($1,703), the awning ¥61,600 ($479), and the roof boxes ¥36,960 ($288) each. Note that the aforementioned prices include tax but do not include shipping, painting, and installation costs.
While the exterior design of the Corolla Cross differs depending on the market (the JDM-spec model has a tiny grille and much larger bumper intake compared to the US-spec or EU-spec examples), the bodykit is likely compatible with all of them. The tuner suggests that installation of the custom bumper requires two or four holes depending on the trim level of the SUV. Would you turn your Toyota Corolla Cross into a RAVCross?
