2026 Toyota Corolla Cross driving on a dirt road kicking up dust  What kind of vehicles do you think an influencer would drive? You would be surprised by that answer. Not everyone drives something fancy, expensive, and not all that practical. Toyota believes that everyone can drive the revised 2026 Corolla Cross Hybrid, which is why they enlisted internet personality King Bach to promote our efficient and practical crossover through a campaign in partnership with SiriusXM.

King Bach is featured in a short brand film called Tea Time. It is about breaking free from the convention and living on your own terms. The 2026 Corolla Cross Hybrid is the right vehicle that speaks to that idea, encouraging you to roll into your next chapter of life in style. Expect to fasten up your seatbelts for this film.

By being efficient and practical, the Huntsville, Alabama-assembled 2026 Corolla Cross Hybrid adds more flair with a new front clip and a color-matched grille. All models are powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder hybrid driveline that offers 196 net horsepower and standard all-wheel drive. The latter enables you to take your 2026 Corolla Cross off the highway to the cabin or a gravel road near the farm. It will also return an EPA-estimated rating of 42 MPG combined city/highway.

There are three trims for the 2026 Corolla Cross Hybrid: Hybrid S, Hybrid SE, and Hybrid XSE—each one offering value with extensive features that fit your budget and lifestyle. In the Hybrid XSE, you get a 12.3-inch fully digital instrument cluster, along with an eight-inch infotainment color touchscreen that serves as a hub for wireless connectivity to your smartphone device.

King Bach’s social media and internet reach is quite substantial. He claims to have 54 million combined followers on Instagram and TikTok. In this campaign, King Bach brings his comedic energy by taking the 2026 Corolla Cross Hybrid on an unexpected, fun ride.

This is not the first time King Bach has partnered with Toyota. Last year, he collaborated on another short film, I, featuring the Corolla Hybrid. The 2026 Corolla Cross continues to be part of one of the best-selling vehicle lines worldwide, with a lineup that includes sedans and hatchbacks. The Corolla Cross is also available in a gas version with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and a choice of front- or all-wheel drive.
