Does the Toyota Corolla Cross have automatic headlights?
Yes. In most markets, the Corolla Cross includes automatic headlight control via the Automatic High Beams feature as part of Toyota Safety Sense. Availability depends on trim level and country.
What automatic headlights are and why they matter
Automatic headlights turn the vehicle’s lights on or off automatically based on ambient light conditions. The Automatic High Beams (AHB) function goes a step further by switching between high and low beams as traffic and lighting conditions change, helping to improve visibility without distracting other drivers. These features are typically bundled with Toyota Safety Sense 2.0, Toyota’s active safety and driver-assistance package, though exact inclusion varies by market and trim.
Regional availability and trim-level guidance
The following overview reflects common configurations for recent Corolla Cross models in major markets. Always verify the exact specification for your vehicle with the dealer or by checking the window sticker.
- L (base) trim: Halogen headlights are more common on base variants, and automatic headlights/AHB are not always standard. Availability can vary by country and year.
- LE trim: More likely to offer LED headlights with automatic high beams as part of Safety Sense 2.0 in many regions, though exact content can depend on the market.
- XLE / higher trims: LED headlights with Automatic High Beams are commonly standard in many markets, especially where Safety Sense 2.0 is emphasized.
Note: Features and availability can differ by country, year, and whether the model is a traditional petrol/cross variant or a hybrid. The most reliable source is the official spec sheet for your region and the vehicle’s window sticker.

How to verify for your vehicle
