I bought a 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross and I love it!!!❤️

[troyabbott]

Best car for reliability and long term ownership on the market. NO TURBO and NO Hybrid - if you want a car that you plan on keeping! No one can work on hybrids other than the dealer. Turbo’ed vehicle gas mileage is terrible because people can’t keep their foot out of the turbo! I have one XLE and have ordered a second! Best all around vehicle if you plan on keeping and you will be able to find parts for it and your local mechanic will be able to work on it. XLE with ALL options is $33k. Love, love love it!

[simonrasmussen]

I remember you as a race car driver, I had no idea you now do car reviews. I'm favourably impressed with your channel and the Corolla Cross.

This is going to sell in stupid numbers, Toyota read the market perfectly.

I really appreciate that Toyota is showing the base trim instead of only the top trim. I wish more automakers did that. It says a lot about their confidence in the value proposition.

I'd prefer the corolla hatchback over any corolla in the lineup. But this Crossover has a lot going for it. Just remember that the Nissan Rogue has been a thing and People liked it and a lot of them were sold spite the problems that they can have with their transmission given Nissan's bad repetition for their CVTs. And this corolla cross won't have that since it's the same transmission that they have been using in the regular corolla and they didn't have any problems. And the corolla cross is cheaper than the rogue too. It is very tempting option for a cheap small SUV.

for everyone who is still not sold on this car i do have to say this car is worth every penny and whoever gets one will be extremely happy with it. it’s got fantastic gas mileage and it handles and drives extremely well. ive got the xle front wheel drive and i absolutely love it.

Great detailed review. Thanks, Lauren!

[payendahariwa]

Great review. I like that you talk about visibility which is very important, thank you

[auntienonimous]

Best and most comprehensive vehicle review that I have seen. Thanks much!!!!

The Corolla Cross is finally getting launched here in South Africa on the 1st of November 2021. It is a hybrid one and it being assembled here in Prospecton Plant in Durban South Africa 🇿🇦👏👏👏

[fernandovargas]

Great video …. The best part is you are driving and describing…..

[frederickmoller]

No turbo for me, but AWD is required for my situation living in cold and snowy northeastern Ontario Canada!

[joshuaschmidinger]

Just found out about this car/suv 3 days ago and I am pretty much sold 😎👌 was looking into getting a new Corolla(as I have a geo prizm and it has lasted me 23 years 😊👍)but then I live in New York and half the year deal with snow, so the awd and height definitly got my attention. I follow the laws and am NOT a sports car driver so power doesn't impress me anyway. I was a reliable, practical car with a good stereo and room to carry stuff and my family. Thanks for this review, I'm probably going for the xle. Appreciate you 😎👍👏

Another great and thorough review. I'm not in the market for one, but I like to know what's going on out there, because my friends and family are always asking. You guys make it easy to rattle off specs and figures. Great job.

Wow very thorough review. I just discovered this car online this morning. I’ve actually been shopping around for a 2022 RAV4 XLE. I had a leased RAV4 back in 05-2010 and loved it. Been in 2 used cars since, currently an 05 Acura TL fully loaded and it’s an amazing car, runs great.
The other day I test drove a 2019 RAV4 XLE hybrid since the dealers have zero new ones on the lot. I was surprised at how much bigger the RAV4 is since I last drove one. I thought I’d love being higher up since my Acura is so low. I am 63 and felt a bit awkward, too high up like I was driving a much larger SUV. I was overwhelmed with all the panels and features. I actually felt anxious. I thought the cabin was noisier than I recall, like air was coming in even though the windows were all up !
So fast forward to today while at a different dealer, again looking at RAV4 (gas model), I was also shown a Corolla Cross. It was a much better fit for me and a tad lower and reminded me of my 05 RAV4 . The problem is I can’t test drive one. If I put down a deposit they can order it and I’m not obligated to buy it when it comes in 4-6 months. So that’s an option. I did drive a friends regular Corolla once years ago and it really handled nicely.
I’m just not sure what to do. It’s so stressful and doesn’t feel as exciting like when I bought a new car in the past. Toyota was always a step up (drove a few Camrys 88-98) but my Acura has a lot of bells and whistles and real leather seats (not impressed with soft-tec)
Sorry I’m all over the place with my thought process. I live in Massachusetts and we get a ton of snow and the Acura isn’t great in snow. I’m wondering (and leanings towards) if I should go w the Corolla Cross instead of the RAV4 or would you recommend another brand smaller SUV ? Thx !

There is a lot of promo for AWD vehicles. Just to point out here, if you are a sane driver FWD with good 4 season or snow tires will do you just fine. You can have 4 wheel drive or six wheel drive if the rubber won't stick it won't mater. If you drive over uneven surfaces where one drive wheel will lose contact with the ground then it makes sense to have more then two driving wheels.

[tammmygraves]

I have to say this that last year we had a horrible snow storm 3 times in two weeks and I missed 2 whole weeks of work because of it. I've got a Corolla with front wheel drive. I live in Central Arkansas and now need an AWD because of my new job. Don't be fooled by mother nature!!!

[davestadt]

Great review. I would definitely buy one

[zororora]

I have a LE and I love it it is better than the rogue not in terms of power but versatility. This is what the rogue should have been but Nissan screws it's customers with a cheap Cvt and it took too long to fix it

[walterj.sutton.]

Another winner from Toyota . Great price and design .
