Japanese tuner Rivai has come up with a solution for those who prefer the looks of the RAV4 but own a Corolla Cross. The company has developed a RAV4-inspired bodykit for the smaller SUV, which was showcased at the Tokyo Auto Salon. The kit includes a redesigned front bumper that mirrors the Adventure trim of the RAV4, complete with a larger hexagonal grille, plastic parts covering the headlights, faux side intakes, and an aluminum-style skidplate.
The kit also features bolt-on plastic fender add-ons, a set of 16-inch Delta Force alloy wheels, and all-terrain tires. The off-road capabilities of the Corolla Cross are further enhanced with an AgeMaxxi suspension lift that increases ground clearance. Additional features include a Rhino-Rack Pioneer platform for extra storage, ROAM Adventure cases with 1.8 cubic feet of storage each, KC HiLiTES LEDs for visibility in the wilderness, and a Rhino-Rack Sunseeker retractable awning.
According to the tuner, the front bumper will cost $1,584, not including the $77 Toyota lettering. The fender add-ons are priced at $385, while the roof rack is the most expensive component at $1,943. The suspension lift costs $334, the roof-mounted LED lights $1,703, the awning $479, and the roof boxes $288 each. These prices include tax but not shipping, painting, and installation costs.
It's worth noting that the bodykit is compatible with all versions of the Corolla Cross, despite the exterior design differences between markets. Rivai suggests that the installation of the custom bumper requires two or four holes, depending on the trim level of the vehicle.
