The compact pickup -- 18 inches shorter than the midsize Ranger -- sits on the same unibody rear-wheel-drive/front-wheel-drive C2 platform that underpins the Bronco Sport, Escape and Lincoln Corsair. About 60 per cent of the Maverick's parts are shared with the Bronco Sport.

Toyota launched the right-hand-drive Corolla Cross in Thailand last year, with plans to sell it in other markets. It is powered by a 1.8-litre gasoline engine and a 1.8-litre, fourth-generation hybrid.
