You’re spot on on the visor being short and not being able to extend it. It’s easy to modify and I don’t know why Toyota has cheaped out on it. Other than that it looks like a winner

I can't wait to put a deposit down...hopefully get it delivered in 3 years!

[tonybennett]

Well done one of the very few who suggest not to waste money on the up market specifications that really makes no real difference in the big picture of ownership.👍

[HowToGuyChannel]

Best review IV seen..I have ordered this exact model

[ALxdCrftPlays]

I've arranged with my local Toyota to view next week. They require a NZ$2, 000 deposit when ordering. Toyota New Zealand charges $44k for the GXL Hybrid.

Corolla cross, rav4 and highlander 👍👍

[MotorDanko]

this should be the real succesor to my XA30

The autopark and narrow dimensions really help with city parking whilst remaining spacious enough for shopping and the pram.

I cancelled my RAV XSE order once Corolla Cross was released. Corolla Cross sizing is better for tight city parking spaces I need to deal with. I cannot afford a high quality EV so a quality hybrid engine 2.0 is a good option for now. Considering it’s going to cost $50K I do worry about it’s future value post 2030 when there are a lot more EVs on Australian roads. I agonise over whether to stick with my 2016 Mazda 3 and drive for another 10 years. It’s so hard to know what ICE used car market is going to look like in 10 years.

I’ve been eyeing this car a while and wasn’t sure if I should pay more for the dearer models. But if the main difference is leather or heated seats and a sun roof, I reckon the base hybrid will be the winner for me! Thanks for the review.

[kyal]

How longs the wait as I'm interested in buying one in 12 mths.

[AmongUsAcademy]

3:17 did the fuel economy actually end up better than advertised?

[martingifford]

It showed 6.4L/100km in the video at 2:17. That's way too high.

[stevenjalopnik]

My god they will sell so many of these if they can actually make enough to meet the demand.

Checking Toyota Japan webisite and find that, the 2022 facelift Corolla Cross [4WD, 1.8L + Motor, Hybrid] with old 7 inches driver display is 3, 199, 000 Yen, which is less than 34, 000 AUD. While in Australia, the entry leve GX, FWD, 2.0 L Hybrid is almost 40, 000 AUD comparing to the entry level in Japan, only 2, 590, 000 Yen, which is less than 27, 500 AUD.

[OSussannah]

You didn't mention the impressive app that allows you to remotely start it, turn on the air-conditioning, lock, unlock, windows up/down, even beep the horn!

[AnakingDevan]

How sadly it is. In indonesia we dont get EPB (pedal parking) and available in FWD only. And then we must spend budget for 45.000 U$. 😢

[markscott]

Not sure the point in comparing this to the Corolla car. It’s like comparing a rav4 to a Camry. People will either be shopping for a sedan or an suv. Not both

[davidlewis]

Looks like a Ford Escape from 2010 at the back

[bigboy]

Had a look at one today. It’s designed around short people. I had to manually lower the seat to see under the rear view mirror. When my wife got in had to raise the seat. Then I sat in the back seat. My head was 2 inches away from the side of the roof. It’s that silly pinched back. My 2006 forester has a similar footprint but does not have these problems.
