The new Toyota Corolla Cross, released on 23 May 2025, has new Koito headlamps. They have ADB, which isn’t exactly news anymore, but something else about them is: they are the first ones in Japan to make life easier and safer for pedestrians and nearby other road users. The new Corolla Cross is the first vehicle in Japan to be equipped with signal road projection (SRP). When the turn signals or hazard lights are operating, the headlamps project a chevron shape onto the road surface to indicate the direction of travel, making it easy for pedestrians and surrounding drivers to see the vehicle and where its driver intends to turn. The function is done with a simple structure: one LED and two lenses. It projects a uniform sign despite its compact size that can be flexibly installed inside the headlamp.
This feature is standard equipment on the GR Sport and Z trims.
