I have been waiting for this video for so long omg😂😂😂

Me : Say less
Charlie, Yes, it is true the Hybrid Cross puts the non-Hybrid 2.Slow engine to shame but when will Toyota get Hybrid production up to a speed that actually matches demand?? Their recent habit of over-promising and under-delivering Hybrids is becoming irksome. In regard to practicality, Toyota needs to steal a few designers/engineers from Honda to teach them the basics of interior space efficiency. Compared to the HR-V, the Cross fails to deliver a child seat-friendly back row and the rear door openings are less than ideal. 🤨
If u have kids, get the RAV-4
@@g.r.2985 or the Venza. The Venza is more refined compares to the RAV4 Hybrid.
@@jml9550your average Toyota dealer sells 1.5 Venzas a month, (20k a year and 1270 Toyota dealers in the US) it’s such a low volume model that it’s not worth looking for

Thank you for mentioning the dealer markups. The $8K markup I've been seeing in the SF Bay Area makes destroys the value proposition of this car.
i have a corolla cross with 2.0 engine. i use extreme driving style to get 5.0L/100km, which is 47MPG. i never go over 100km/h, seldom let the engine go over 2500rpm when accelerating and hyper mill when ever possible. so l smile when i see the gas pump, and its a different kind of fun to squeeze for MPG.
Im glad there is someone else who drives with the same mindset in regards to acceleration RPMs. I drive a 2010 prius, while no tach, keep it in eco-bar mode always. 53 mpg. Its great fun to get high mpg.

5:49 Here in Ireland, from the moment it came out, we always had a hybrid only model because of that extra power, economy, lower emission etc
Can't wait for the HR-V Hybrid.
4:56 Important step, he backs up.
If you could get this car at sticker price it would be amazing, but all dealerships around me are asking 7k+ for the XLE trim, it's insane how much they are asking nowadays.
Same in Turkey you basically need to bribe the dealer to even get a car. And amount is tend to be huge.
Toyota stealerships think a lot of their cars and the dealers will tell you "if you don't want to pay the mark up the next person will"!
Seems like a great road trip vehicle for 4+ hour drive. Fuel efficient, light steering, and practical size. I'd consider one in a year or two used (hopefully when car prices go back to normal). As a second car, of course. I need a sporty daily driver.
4 tie-down hooks in the back. I saw 4! That’s becoming rare. Good job Toyota.
Awesome little car
You should do one with a renault twizy!
Love the Corolla Cross 👍🏻
Can you do a 2022 Toyota Tacoma SR5 test drive? Not a lot of people do as well as you do and I only trust you to make the perfect one.
Is the size of that steering wheel the same as the normal corolla? If I buy a Corolla steering wheel cover would it fit in this?
Wow, the car can change color too?
the problem is the lack of cars available with the right colors. dealer markup is like 3 to 5k .
I want an XLE hybrid with full softex seats
Finally not some bs bunker rear seat window design.
Wish I could afford one. I like the size and the hybrid
Same, this reminds me a lot of what the early Rav4's used to be as far as the size goes. I had a 2005 & I loved it, finally this class of SUV isn't getting overlooked anymore.
it's great seeing north america get the hybrid version since this car came out. my family in asia had the hybrid since they came out 3 years ago, and is a great first hybrid car. was kinda disappointed to find out NA only got the gasoline model 'til recently. but hey, better late than never eh.
Although it looks like a boring car, there are not a lot of options on the market under the hybrid subcompact SUV category. The other one is probably Kia Niro but Niro comes only with FWD. The problem is Toyota's notorious waitlist time and the unreasonable markups. 😮💨
That is my, somewhat improved, 2004 Toyota Matrix!
It's a neat car but seems kinda pointless when you could get a Prius if you want a compact car or a RAV4 hybrid if you want a bigger car
If you want a smaller sun that’s easier to park in a city but will stop for things in the back, this is your car. Or a Crosstrek.
I hate cars like this, but nice to see an analog dash and actual buttons.
Is nice to meet you charlie 0:13
Weird to see the base S model doesn’t have a rear wiper. Toyota really cutting cost’s
Also don’t have variable speed front wiper. Just slow and fast.
CHARLIE!!!
Planning to lease this vehicle and want to know how to use regenerative braking and paddle shifters, if it has one
you can't get a Camry Hybrid at MSRP let alone below that, not sure if you've been living under a rock for the past year ?
2023 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid SE 2.0L Naturally Aspirated Inline-4 AWD CVT Continuously Variable Transmission!
Looks very very similiar to a rav4 from the outside
Why don't they make Corolla Hatch Hybrid?
They make them in the same factory that builds the Corolla Hybrid sedan. Toyota USA and Toyota Canada refuse to import them.
Yay
Does this Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid come with CVT or e-CVT? I though it comes with e-CVT?
It's e-cvt like most modern Toyota hybrids
All comments are negative because driver guy talked negative lol. This is lowest option. Higher options will have better interior with much more functions. Even gauges arent digital in this one lol. If you don't afford to test a car with a higher option, better don't ever do it because it gives a negative impression to viewers.
The rear space in my driving position is way more than yours and Im 5'6. The rear passenger side would even have more space due to more flexibility to slide up front seat. Why dont you move passenger seat up more as person is not driving.
Toyota 👍👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤
If the Honda HR-V comes out with a hybrid model within the next year, is it gonna change the game for many people? The Kia Niro is like your middle ground if you want the hybrid but a more up-to-date interior and tech, but yeah like many of the comments say, the FWD and accel isnt a selling point. And then there is the mazda cx-30 that doesnt have a hybrid (correct me if im wrong) but i feel like has the better and more appealing engine and driving experience, but a smaller cargo space than say the HR-V.... the Sub coompact crossover kind category is def heating up in the next years.
Honda definitely needs to put out an HR-V Hybrid to compete with this, but I doubt they will any time soon. They are too fixated on going all electric that they will miss out on the subcompact hybrid suv market.
Was the white test driver an S model?
There’s nothing really in the subcompact SUV segment that’s hybridized. The maverick doesn’t compete with this. It competes with the Hyundai Santa Cruz.
lol @ the challenger with the splitters guards still on who accelerated after you put your blinker on. Never change, mopar drivers.
So really.. what's the difference between this and a rav4 hybrid..?
Size, Engine, Interior, Exterior, Tech, Price.
You're not understanding this small suv and suv in general: people want to sit higher.
10:00 the maverick is made in mexico and they already suffering from quality control issues, toyota made in america overseen by japanese production quality practices etc. Many would gladly pay little extra for peace of mind knowing it wont fall apart.10:50 you slipped and said prius, but you're half right....its rocking the same powertrain lol
Good car tho
This our the new Kia Soul for an older folk with no kids, who brings around adults, and lives in Los Angeles so traffic? Thanks for anyone who replies.
Probably this. Kia soul has some reliability issues.
Also look at Honda HRV, cheaper price than this and although not hybrid a much nicer interior and good reliability
Shame on Toyota, Corolla Cross not available in the UK decided not to supply.
30k is way too much for this, and that's before bs dealership fees and taxes. 25k on road would be a fair price for this.
they already can't make them fast enough at 30k, there's 5-7 month long waitlists as it is. They'd be sold out for years at $25k.
he said that this car cost nearly $ 33k 😅
@@fireteam_ exactly. What anyone thinks this car is “worth” is irrelevant. Buy it, don’t buy it, Toyota have plenty of people waiting. Get a Nissan if you want cheaply made cars.
@@JADE939 exactly. Personally I consider $50K afford, but different people has different point of view on what affordability means, due to income, saving, net worth……I can understand that.
@jml9550 yea, definitely! 50k is a lot for me personally. Something closer to 28k.
You're correct, these appliances are not worthy of a markup. Even the new Prius ain't worth over MSRP. Toyota does still have a supply chain issue, that's why most dealers still have markups on every hybrid model.
I’m pretty sure I could get into a Rav4 hybrid for a few thousand more. This pricing is pretty bad.
wow
sounds so noisy inside
the interior looks more like a $ 25k car 😅
Because it’s equipped like a $25,000 car. It’s based of the LE GAS model but you’re paying for the HYBRID and standard AWD. Not to mention all the benefits of the hybrid.
@@jxmar_ Thank you 😀
No spare tire is stupid. People who don't know how to change a tire are even dumber.
It’s an “eh” in my book.
Smh Toyota should've done more to make the rear seats fold flat easily without needing to move the front seats.
I feel like this vehicle has less usable space than a Honda Fit.
The space efficiency of today's Toyota lineup is terrible. The Cross is one of their few models with generous rear headroom but rear legroom is awful for a vehicle this size.
No room in the backseat, the dash looks pretty dated already. I'd much rather get something nicer like a Kia Seltos or the Subaru Crosstrek
A hybrid depreciates way too much.
Tired of borrowed Corolla interiors...
it's a corolla cross..why wouldnt it have a corolla interior?
@@gilboman cause they put it in Rav4s and CH-Rs and probably more. Non-Corolla products still have it, Toyota is lazy. So suck it toyota fan boy.
1000th like woo
I dislike everything about this car. It looks like a Honda CRV and everything in this is awkwardly small or just not the best size. Ugly and non functional in my eyes.
The only good part for me is that they kept actual buttons and switches in the interior and the dash has analog gauges. But yes I hate cars like these, absolutely characterless and gutless vehicles that all look the same.
Edit: the actual Corolla hatchback seems like a much better buy.
WOW! Definitely "leave it" looks, as it does resemble an appliance. In the whole "trying not to offend anyone" theory, Toyota's exterior design language has progressively gotten worse over the years.
Love the cargo space and the fairly clean interior design. The infotainment panel is huge. Wish they could integrate that better (lower it a bit) into the dash. Maybe that means bringing the dash upwards to surround the screen. But otherwise, I like the display - especially if you're driving with a Maps active on the display.
I don't know when Corolla cross hybrid started design/conceptual phase but it's outdated. Mainly since it's using the previous generation toyota interior and exterior design.
You should see newer toyota designs like the toyota prius and crown if you wanna assess current toyota design language.
@@shinn43 the crown is a bloated over-molded mess on the exterior. I do like the new Prius.
@@craigjohnchronicles2504 I believe the design intent behind the crown is SUV/CUV looking design but as a lifted sedan either way I share your sentiment. The back profile of the new toyotas are.. questionable.
NPC car :) would love if someone took this drive train and put good steering, break and acceleration on it, Subaru Crosstrek could really make this shine.
the hyundai elantra hybrid gets better mpg totoal than corrolla hybrid. both good cars
A streamline sedan gets better MPG than a crossover??!! Whaaattt!?!?!
If you want to compare, compare apple to apple, K fanboy 🤡
no awd and hyundai...no thanks unless you like teens trying to steal your car or having your engine explode
I hate this car with a passion. Just get a rav4. This thing is crap
The Venza is much better than the RAV hybrid.
@@naveenthemachine I hate to say this, but I have to agree with you on this one.
I have a Corolla Cross and my neighbor has a Rav4. He said he would have bought a Corolla Cross if they were available at the time of purchase.
It's just so...boring. How very Toyota
Only for me this interior looks obsolete?
