We recently purchased the 2024 RAV4. It was a heavier truck and drove much better than the Corolla Cross. I compared the two and decided on the RAV4. I think it was the better choice for us.
I just purchased a Toyota Cross 2024 Hybrid xle top model. I love the car the way it rides and save gas. I am making about 39 miles per gallon in the city. Has nice pickup power and the suv is really beautiful. I recommend this suv.
I got the 2024 Corolla Cross XLE AWD non hybrid. I love the smooth and quiet ride. Love all the features and trunk space. Wish it had more back seat space
Just bought Subaru Outback. It was a bit cheaper and better in many regards. But Rav4 was definately up there on my choice list. Just went with the bigger outback and loving it.
How does the Corolla Cross compare to the previous generation RAV4. It seems to be the same size... is that accurate? I like my '17; not too big, not too small.
Last year we purchased a 2023 Rav 4Trd. Couldn't be happier with a towing capacity of 3500 and a higher ground clearance etc. We also have a 2001 RAV we purchased in 2003 with only 18,000 miles on it. It is now pushing 400,000 miles with basic maintenance. Our oldest just bought a 2024 Corolla Cross LE end of May and she is very happy! You honestly can't go wrong with a Toyota or a Honda if you maintain your vehicle. Our youngest has a 2001 Honda CRV with just over 200,000 miles. Basic maintenance. Take care of them, they will take care of you!
Just purchased a Corolla Cross XLE. Waiting for delivery from dealer 600 miles away. Rav 4 is thousands of dollars more expensive. I predict Toyota is going to sell many Corolla Cross😃
Love the RAV4 Prime, but at 182 inches, won't fit in my garage. Well, it will fit, but no room to walk around it to get into the house. Hence, the CC Hybrid is on my radar. Until I can actually test drive an XSE in my area, that is. Just curious, how different are the Canadian market vehicles compare to the U.S. version? I do know that the U.S. versions are built in Alabama (Canadians get theirs from Japan), and the U.S. CC won't get heated steering wheels.
While I havent driven the Cross yet, I drove the Rav4 for 3 weeks while in a rental. I liked being up high but its a bit long for me so I'm prob going with the Cross. I hope it doesnt feellikedroving a car though. Very informative video, thank you.
I'm considering a Cross...but my problem is twofold. First, if the Cross is almost the same size as a Rav 4, but has only a 2 litre motor instead of a 2.5 litre , doesn't that mean it won't even get the same gas mileage, it will get worse ? And second, if it doesn't get mileage as good as the Rav 4, why oh why did they go with a smaller gas tank??? It's hard to know exactly how good the mileage would be on a Cross because everybody will tell you something different. My brother has a Rav4 and he went on a 1200 mile round trip through mountains to the west coast...he averaged 5.6 l/100km. Will the Cross do that if it's smaller motor has to work harder to pull almost the same weight? Maybe I should just buy a Rav 4.
I compared a AWD Cross vs a regular (XLE?)RAV4 @ a dealership in 🇺🇸. I thought the Cross was much better priced for features I LIKE. IF I was interested in getting a new vehicle. I wished 🇺🇸 would get the Yaris & in a Cross w/AWD! I follow Ireland Dealers & they're sharp.
You did not talk about transmisions. The Corolla has a CVT and the Rav 4 has a conventional 8 speed fluid drive automatic transmission. CVT has problomatic durability 8 speed does not.
In North America the Cross is priced way too close to the RAV4. In other markets RAV4 usually costs a lot more, sometimes double, and after checking out the interior I can see why. It's kinda nuts how there's less rear legroom in the Cross than the Mitsubishi Mirage, the Cross really should be considered a lifted hatchback due to this.
I have a 2014 Rav 4 in mint condition with only 26, 000 miles on it. I am lookjng to get a new car and considered the Corolla Cross. I am curious if the Cross rides smooth as my Rav is rather bumpy.
I test the corolla cross its an easy drive vehicle,but rav4 is more powerful. If you are going to work, the corolla cross is good fit for fuel consumption, parking etc
If you were gonna get a Toyota the best I can advice you is to get something that is AWD and hybrid. Thats it. all the other features are just wants. AWD for Canadian winters and hybrid for that lovely fuel savings..you pay a lil bit but it is worth it especially if its a daily driver.
Still would go with Cross, over Hatch or Rav, to me only value in a SUV is you sit higher. The Cross provides that at a cheaper cost! That said, I grew up when station wagons were popular family vehicles, which is what the Cross reminds me of and I have no bias against wagons.
So you sit lower in a Corolla across than a RAV4. Do you sit as low as a Corolla sedan? Corolla across sounds like a very attractive vehicle, but I’d like to sit higher like a SUV and not a sedan.
I had a brand new Corolla cross in 2023. Not only was it non-functional and had a lot of technical problems in the computer system but it couldn’t compare to the RAV4‘s. I’ve had over the years. I couldn’t wait to get rid of it and I only had it 2 1/2 months and went back and got my RAV4. You couldn’t give me a Corolla cross
I was in the UK last summer and I think the Yaris Cross I saw looks really good. You also didn’t mention the new chr. I wish they had brought that over to North America . Both the Rav and cross look dated although the shape is designed for cargo.
I like your nice RUclips videos, BUT Absolutely STOP, STOP, suggesting people to buy Toyota Gas models that they stupidly Made too Many. I love, love Toyota, but buying non-hybrid now a day is simply not smart!
@@kelsea16 Fair question. Because this good channel and others have been extolling the virtues of hybrids ad nauseam. For obvious reasons. Resell, efficiency and driving dynamics. And it appears in 2025 or 6 onwards, hybrids will only be available. Perhaps dealerships don’t want to be caught out with a surplus of petrol only. To me it makes no sense. But the petrol only model will be a far cheaper leg in for some people. Changing subject, I’m at a loss why the majority of USA Toyota dealerships put these huge mark ups on and all these unnecessary add ons. Cheers.

How do you charge it though? 😢 I don’t want to sped 2k to have a charger installed at my farm… 😢

Do the back seats fold flat ?
Yes, they fold down
@@stephenwallace2291 But do they fold FLAT? (I need them flat.) Thanks 🥳
Cant wait for my cross - great video

Another great review Marcello !

I have a 2021 rav 4 but I almost bought the corolla cross because it's cute and I have a 94 toyota corolla and love it to death.

My new Toyota Corolla Cross LE is great!!!
I'm even making 45 mpg (Speed limit). Lots of safety features and comfort.
Saw the Yaris SUV when I was in the UK and wish we could have it here in the US too!
You did not talk about transmisions. The Corolla has a CVT and the Rav 4 has a conventional 8 speed fluid drive automatic transmission. CVT has problomatic durability 8 speed does not.
That’s what worries me.. the cvt
Not the e cvt. It is reliable
This is why the thumbs up goes to you. He never mention price for them.
I have a 2017 CVT Corolla. The CVT is amazing
Weldone work,l can't really afford the new cars; is 2008 Toyota Corolla a car to buy used?.

Do you still have it to sell?
I test the corolla cross its an easy drive vehicle,but rav4 is more powerful. If you are going to work, the corolla cross is good fit for fuel consumption, parking etc
Hi! Is it hybrid and are you planning on selling it?
Very good review.
If you were gonna get a Toyota the best I can advice you is to get something that is AWD and hybrid. Thats it. all the other features are just wants. AWD for Canadian winters and hybrid for that lovely fuel savings..you pay a lil bit but it is worth it especially if its a daily driver.
excellent
Lookslike camera resolution was 360p.
WTH why are the cars video so pixelated as if it was shot with 240p?

I don't think you mention the price different.
We can’t get the Carolla Cross in the UK, it’s either the Yaris Cross or the Rav4. One is a bit too small and the other a bit too big. 😂
I was in the UK last summer and I think the Yaris Cross I saw looks really good. You also didn’t mention the new chr. I wish they had brought that over to North America . Both the Rav and cross look dated although the shape is designed for cargo.
@@moeanthony9308 Unfortunately the UK version of the CHR doesn’t have AWD.
@@ffotograffydd how much snow is there in the uk honestly. You dont need it. More issues down the road
@@moeanthony9308 I live in the Scottish Highlands, in a very rural area. I definitely need AWD.
@@ffotograffydd ah got ya
The RAV4 has a much more powerful engine, and it has a full-geared automatic transmission instead of that CVT thing that the Cross has.
It has horrible pick, up, I feel it is not as heavy as my HONDA HRV. I am renting one now and it growing on me.
Camera quality not so good.
I had to screen grab the old video :( I know man. Best I could do
@@ToyotaWorld its ok Marcello still captured the look and feel. Good job with what you had.
I have a cross and the motor is now powerful. Will not get one again.
Plus it has some recalls
RAV4 is the same length as a Corolla sedan
I like your nice RUclips videos, BUT Absolutely STOP, STOP, suggesting people to buy Toyota Gas models that they stupidly Made too Many. I love, love Toyota, but buying non-hybrid now a day is simply not smart!
Totally.
I bet you don't even own a toyota nor you are in north america
Out of curiosity, why is it not smart to buy non hybrid Toyota?

See brother, if anything wrong happens to a hybrid car, which garage will fix that?
