Very concise review. I have seen a few on the road, looks quite interesting. The cost is a higher than I thought at $50k, but given their popularity a long wait list will surely follow.
Test drove the GXL. Toyota New Zealand Kent Tce Wellington branch. Toyota New Zealand calls it Limited instead of Atmos. But you do get pure leather seats, sunroof, wireless phone charging, HD cameras, and driverless parking mode assist. Limited costs NZ$49,000. GXL NZ$45,000. The parking mode assist would indeed help in tight narrow city streets like Wellington where parking is a premium with limited small spaces.
@@surferdude78 Toyota's once owned and deserved reputation has become tainted since about 2015. The excellent number of dealerships though compensates.
Thanks great review. I have had my eye on the Cross for 12 months and take delivery of my atmos finally in 4 to 5 weeks after have Mazdas for 20 years.
I got my Corolla Cross Atmos Hybrid FWD , 2 wks ago. I only waited for 2 months to get mine, since nobody wanted the white color, and i was in need of a car for work. Great fuel economy, i sometimes get 4.0L/km fuel econ on a 30-40km drive. I got the sunroof and the spare tyre too. Really enjoying it, and lately i just found out it can run on E10 (which is cheaper than Unleaded 91). I gues i was lucky that nobody wanted the white color - i was hesitant when they called me about this, since I always loved gray or red colors for my car. So far, im loving the white color, looks fancy 😅
My biggest annoyance with the car are its huge side view mirrors which create a blind spot when turning right. Aside from that, the lack of a volume dial and no seat memory, its a great car.
How does the top-of-range 2WD Corolla Cross Hybrid compare to the new Nissan Qashqai TI. The Nissan doesnt have the e-power model in AU just yet, but the one overseas has around 140kw of power too? Any thoughts? Qashqai is a stunning looking thing, looks are so-so for the Corolla Cross.
That low hanging exhaust pipe on the AWD version isn't present on the 2WD version. Definitely makes the 2WD version a bit more appealing especially if ground clearance is important to you.
Just a little bit about the automatic Bluetooth connection to your phone. Just check your phones unlocked so make sure glances at your face unlocked and then it might auto connect and instant something I found out that’s a bit annoying and it usually fixes the trick when something is just sitting there waiting, but hopefully you’re not trying to use the phone at the same time and you’re not driving and waiting for it to Connect
Thanks for a great review. I took the GXL model for a test drive and found it very dark inside because of the black roof. The dealership doesn't have an atmos that I can compare, but with that big sunroof it looks light and airy. What was your experience with the lightness in the cabin?
Hi, Cris n concise review. I am currently confused between Kamiq Signature and Corolla Cross Atmos 2WD due to the interiors, second row space, seat memory function. Hybrid isnt a concern and I always fill U98. Can you help me pick which would be right car for me. Thanks
It lacks adventure,WTF does that mean? I want a vehicle that is safe, comfortable, and economic to use on a public road . If i wanted adventure I would buy a unimog . Car reviewers are in a world of their own.
I am looking seriously at buying this car, however the only thing I don’t like about is how boring the design and interior is. Come on Toyota live a little
I'm surprised you got 4.4 L/100km. That's impressive. I agree that a volume knob would be good. Also, the fuel tank range is low at around 500km. I wish all SUV back seats would fold down flat.
Ordered mine ATMOS HYBRID AWD in Moondust 6 Nov 22. Got lucky and it was built in Dec and I will get by the end of Jan 23 or the next. The dimensions are perfect for everywhere. Yes the RAV4 will be better value but just was a little too big.
@@pjb5594 yes that is the hybrid and I ordered on the first day when Atmos was available to order. I was told 6 too but got a early build. Each dealer will have a list and really luck of draw and size of how many ordered. I was the first Atmos trim for the dealer
That's great to hear. I ordered mine (GXL AWD) as soon as it arrived in the showroom. I am first in the queue and so far only 1 GX AWD was received by my local dealership in regional Victoria. The wait is annoying, but hopefully, it turns up soon.
You're very lucky to get it so early. I put mine down for the GXL (loved the Atmos but couldn't justify $50k plus for a sub-medium SUV) and was told end May.
@@pjb5594 I ended up putting down an order for petrol Subaru Forester instead. Apart from a shorter wait period, I have found the Corolla Cross Hybrid a bit too small for my family needs. Ultimately the RAV4 Hybrid would have been perfect but their ridiculous waiting time was a moot point.
Didn't have any clearance issue on test (on tar and gravel) - not sure if you'd want to do actual off-roading in this thing when there are more suitable choices (Forester being one)
I don’t think many buyers at all would consider using this on trails - they buy it because small SUVs are increasingly replacing hatchbacks and small sedans as Australia’s vehicle of choice - alongside utes. If you want a trail-ready small SUV, probably best to look elsewhere.
Why do I feel this Re-review feels a little forced. It is like Toyota contacted chasing cars with a new script correcting the "differences" that were originally said. I'm currently looking for a replacement for my 11yo ASX and this review has now made me neutral. I will have to see it for myself.
Feels exactly like that doesn't it. I visited Toyota in recent weeks enquiring about the Corolla Cross and it's a 12 month wait, RAV4 was a 2 year wait; salesman was honest enough to tell me to look at other brands. Ended up with a GWM Jolion with superior kit and comparable servicing costs for about $40k.
Kurt - we don’t take dictation from car manufacturers. What happened here is we spent a week with the variant in question and found it more likeable than our first impression - which is always cynical in the context of a short launch. After a week you learn a lot more. Thanks for the feedback.
@@aznprodigy17 And is already worth less than half of your purchase price, if you can sell it. Every other part of the comparison is debatable, but resale value is incomparable between the two brands. I wish you well of your new vehicle, but they don't compare.
@@jeeves6490 You're wrong about the resale. If you did some research you'll see the resale is only marginally lower than established Japanese brands. Australia deserves more competitively priced vehicles and more standard features than the dated kit and higher prices we get from established players these days.
Nice prompt review. The Atmos is similar in NZ as Corolla X Hybrid Limited AWD. Toyota NZ aren't even allowed to order them until they get the go ahead from up top, sounded like end of the year after test drinving one last weekend which my partner and I absolutely loved, so we put our name down for one. So we likely won't recieve until mid-late 2024. Who knows at this point, its fine but it does sound like production will improve in 2023 :)
NZ also here, I test drove as soon as one was available locally (in mid Sept '22) and ordered same day, estimated arrival is Apr/May this year. Email updates from Toyota are far and few between, mine is still at "order confirmed", probably won't hear anything until the factory confirms a production date. I also looked at the new Kia Niro, which was probably a bit more stylish inside but smaller than I expected, when I saw it in person, and the Corolla X a fair bit more price competitive.
@@nightowlnzab I ordered a RAV4 Ltd in late Oct 2021 but when the Corolla X was announced, I also test drove one and ordered on same day, an AWD Ltd in green. The RAV was supposed to arrive first and that would have given me a good chance to extensive test drive before the Cross arrived. I think the new RAV is bigger than I need but the Cross is bigger than my 2G 2005 I'm driving now! Talked to dealer yesterday (24/01/2023) and he told me the Cross was getting built this month and would be in NZ in March and the RAV maybe a couple of months later. So looking forward to a more modern car with great safety features and half the fuel consumption! Will cancel the RAV order.
Thanks, Curt. Great review. I just wish this model would have the option of a Front wheel drive hybrid but with a space saver spare. I think that would tick the box for alot of Aussie buyers. Although the price still hurts a bit for the hybrid; I may as well just go for the Rav4 instead for similar money.
In my opinion it looks like this car has the best infotainment (glass instruments and larger infotainment screen) of any Toyota. It would be good if Toyota would follow this precedent.
Why didn't you showcase the Corolla Cross' connected services which is a point of difference to the competition. Or the Atmos' advanced park assist self parking features which the lower spec siblings lack. Did you even try this in your week of testing?
I have ordered an ATOMS in Nov 22 and might have to wait until mid year 2023 or later to receive it. Yes its expensive. I hope I can get the jungle khaki colour I ordered. Why can't I get what I want for that price? Other car dealerships allow you to fix the price when you order it. Toyota want you to agree to pay more for any price increases they impose before you receive your vehicle. How rude. Pleased with your economy numbers. But I don't believe it was designed as a rough off road vehicle. Fingers crossed you don't get booked for going over the double lines in the demo. Thanks. Good review.
I like this one. Nice in red too. I don’t have any issues with the cost, just the wait time. I would likely get the Atmos with all wheel drive and just get a spare wheel to put in the back. Though I don’t think I need all wheel drive. I will need to test drive one to see if the brake pedal feel is an issue. Brake pedal feel is an important thing in driving I think. Can you turn off the infotainment screen if you want to while driving to reduce distraction, or would I need to put something like a black cloth cover over it.
Looks like im not missing out on much with my 22 RAV4 hybrid Cruiser AWD for under 50k drive away. The RAV4 looks better in my opinion. Well worth the 9 month wait at the time.
The 5 year capped price has now been increased to $250. It's no longer $230. My question is does the AWD drive a little smoother and quicker due 2 electric motors? I know the specs say it's 1 sec faster, but does it actually feel quicker?
We’ve now conducted independent performance tests on both the FWD and AWD hybrid models and… the result was 7.47sec 0-100 for BOTH of them! Still that doesn’t tell the whole story - the AWD Model feels a bit more tractable on corner exit and can actually slide a bit on throttle on loose surfaces too…
@@chasingcars Thank you for your speedy reply. You mentioned in your reply that the AWD can actually slide a bit on throttle and on loose surface! Does that mean that the AWD looses traction? or did you mean it for the 2 WD?
Any car can lose traction on gravel. What I meant is that the AWD version has decent torque from the rear motor so it can gently oversteer. On some AWD cars you never feel any contribution from the back end.
I will say the AWD has independent rear suspension just like the front. It helps a lot when you off road and pot holes. 2WD has the single beam so a little firmer. But again it comes down to how you want to drive it. I ordered mine in this exact trim on 6 Nov and will get it this month or next. Got lucky. Going to love it!
@@mharro88 I really don't think you are buying a corolla cross for the "Fun" factor. The Rav4 just presents a better package at this price point of you don't miss waiting for one.

It was disturbing to see the car driving from one side of the road to the other on numerous occasions. I can only hope that this review was done on a closed road or test track for filming. Even on a closed road many would consider it poor practice to be changing lanes as you go through curves especially as professional drivers.

BYD Atto 3 money…
And the BYD is a full blown ground up EV.
A comparison between the two would be interesting.
Was thinking the same. Why would I go for this over the Atto 3...? Only reason is brand...and Toyota is slowing losing their brand loyalty..
@@surferdude78 Toyota's once owned and deserved reputation has become tainted since about 2015. The excellent number of dealerships though compensates.
@@surferdude78 well, you can drive almost 800km with the Cross without stopping, on the BYD u have to stop every 300+km's
It is a bit bit of a punt on the BYD I think the Toyota is a better bet, I think it will be 10 years for me to buy a full electric car
Are you serious? A BYD over a Toyota?

$55k of hard earned for a small SUV...that's just ridiculous 😕
No not all after all there's a 12 to 18 month wait pretty sure Toyota could ask 70k and the sheep will still queue
And yet plenty of buyers for it, it seems.
Using that logic. You can pay a lot more for a much smaller car.
You don’t get much for around 50 grand now. Besides you can get the more basic model for low 40s if you want.
It’s perception. The Corolla Cross is the same size as the rav 4 a few years ago.
How about cabin noise when on highways?
i really hate that toyota gave the Cross that bigger infotainment screen, but didn't shove that into the mid-life update for the Corolla.

No, it is a private test track and there was damaged pavement at the time of filming (since fixed).
I’m still asking myself what the point of this vehicle is over a Corolla?
It’s a lot larger in the back seat and boot - and a lot more powerful in hybrid form (Corolla hybrid is 90kW vs 146kW here)
Mostly practicality - the boot is much larger than the Corolla hatchback.
@@chasingcars the 2023 corolla will have 103kw. not as powerful as the corolla cross, but more than enough for a small car.
Its more roomy and gas a bigger boot space.
