Toyota Corolla Cross recovery and towing

The Corolla Cross is assembled by Indus Motor, and its hybrid versions made it one of the first locally built hybrids in Pakistan. It is popular with families moving up from a Corolla who want a higher seating position. As a hybrid with an electronic CVT, the Corolla Cross must go on a flatbed: turning the front wheels with the system off can spin the motor-generators and damage the hybrid transaxle.
