Great review. like the Corolla Hatch legroom is the challenge but not enough to put me off. Enjoy the coffee!
Relating to the customer needs in a fun a nd witty manner, well done Nobby
Another great video, keep up the work. I like your style on how you present the car from a normal family/everyday perspective.
Looks like the intended customer for the car is someone who likes to sit very close to the wheel 😏. We have a previous gen RAV4 and appreciate what Toyota do, as you say if it ain’t broke and all that. Great review as always 👍.
Such a shame you don’t get the AWD in Ireland.
And a shame the Corolla Cross is not yet available in the UK.
Nice video, i just got my 1800/140ps in Greece. It was love at first sight
Could you please give us some information about the 1.8 since its not available for testdrive so far? I am looking forward to be hearing about it from an owner!
You didnt answer if its better than the other sportage, tuscon or Qashqai though :(
Great review, thank you. Cheers from Sydney Australia.
Thanks for watching!
Good review, honest and accurate. Ordered Corolla Cross in same colour in late December. Delivery in April. Only difference in my spec was exactly what you recommended, going for light grey trim on inside.
Good choice on the brighter interior I think!
Have a Sol ordered since October and still no sign of it drove the a demo back in October and loved it
Ring them every week!
Hi Nobby, I do about 180km a day and currently using diesel. M1 and M50 use daily. Would this car be much harder on fuel overall or should I go for another diesel. Thanks
Have you tried the 1.8 version yet trying to figure out which one to go for
Best wishes Mark on becoming a full time RUclipsr. Hope your channel goes from strength to strength, from a long time subscriber! Thanks for the great review!
👌🏻
Hey Nobby!. When reviewing vehicles, could you add whether the standard Sound Systems is any good. Thanks. P.S. I've bought a car recently based on your review, a CUPRA LEON. Keep up your great work.
Will do!
I get mine in september, and its MADE IN JAPAN tought it was going to be made in burnaston england but no
Excellent review in simple terms, for the people who do not want the wishy washy nonsense, congratulations!
Thanks David
I’d buy this car anyday above a qashqai, I’ve never trusted nissan since Renault sprinkled their unreliable dust over them, my father had the old bluebirds back in the day 1986 model, what a brilliant and reliable car they were when nissan were nissan, not anymore though. Great intuitive review Nobby all the important things were covered.
I remember the Bluebird well.
We had a 2011 Megane from new until last year, high mileage on it. Not a single day of trouble from it.
Qashqai is the best selling and most reliable car in the UK.
We are still driving a 2013 Xtrail. Great car, never had any trouble
Good luck with full time channel.
Thank you!
Rav4 territory in prices. Corolla touring has 590ltrs of boot space. Toyota still not getting back seat space right apart from rav4. I tested Corolla and going from mk7 9yr old Golf I couldn't believe space was better in Golf passenger area and seat comfort was better in Golf. Great review Mark. Congrats on going full time into channel.
Thanks Gareth. Rear is a bit tight for sure.
Yes yes yes. Toyota engineers really need to sit in a Golf once in their lifetime
you are Toyota hiters...Corolla cross is 3 class better then VW.
@@dimitarjoveski9917 😂😂😂
You spend 43,000 euro and the sat nav is subscription - what the hell world do we live in!!!!! Madness. They are not alone, I know, but just terrible. Great review as always. Tiny leg room and small boot.
Don’t worry about Satnav as apple or android auto are much better
Looking for a good 2nd car runaround for 2 empty nesters . would you go for this or has the Lexus UX better ride and interior ?
Nicer interior anyway, not sure the ride would be vastly different.
Great video as always I might go hybrid for the next car Toyota could be the one what was the price of the car you were reviewing
41k
Many thanks
Not available in UK ☹️
Good review 👍🏻
Thanks! 👍
It's a good looking car, and it's a Toyota, so it won't break if you maintain it and it'll last for decades
satnav screen looks like its set too high for the driver'am not sure if it tucks away though
It doesn’t
Test drove one of these the other day. The boot is far too small for a family car
Thought it was a Suzuki S Cross at first glance until I saw the price
What version of the Toyota safety system is this vehicle supplied with? 2.0, 2.5, or 3
Just ordered mine, it’s TSS 3.0.
I wish Toyota sold this in the Uk, they would sell loads.
Nice this new Corolla Cross ,but to bad that is not available for purchase in UK .
Why why why didn't they release this in the UK????? It looks perfect 👌 😍
I have to say Nobby that's least excited I think I have ever seen you about a car , its very bland and a wee bit expensive for me , but a good honest review 👍
Noobby I just know that you thought that the DS4 was probably the best car you drove in a while 👌
That screen in the dashboard is to big. Lets all ignore the road and mess around with the display! Sure its no different driving with your phone in your hand. Its to expensive for what it is. The normal corolla saloon is a real winner. Just because you can afford it - dont mean you should get it. I just use my car to get from a to b.
Yess it is better. No 1
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.
I hesitate between the cross or the rav4 .what do you suggest?
@@JASHVEER22 i am the right person to ask because just before the Corolla Cross, I had the Rav4 Limited with the 2.5 L engine. I prefer the Rav4's interior, more mature and more comfortable. The overall feeling of the Rav4 is more refined and tough, especially with the 8 speed automatic. I get about 38 MPG for the Rav4 on the highway, which is not bad, but can not match the CC for MPG. The CC, the overall feeling is econo car, nothing special, and with the CVT, you have to be gentle with it, no hard and sudden acceleration. (will cause slippage down the road) But you do get incredible MPG. i mean the CC revs only at 1500 RMP at 100kM/h. So here's my take on the two car. Good luck.
@@walltiger6603 thank you for your reply. I had the chance to see both cars. I have preference for Rav4 looks classier, but budget wise my pocket tell me to go for CC :)
@@JASHVEER22 good, can't really go wrong with either.
When you give prices for cars are they MRSP or OTR ?
Wouldn’t always be OTR as that can be dealer specific and I’m just quoting the brands for prices.
Sounds like Toyota have nailed it again but the only downfall with this model is the legroom for the back seat passengers!
Great review as usual.
A bit tight in the back for sure.
And the drab drab drab soulless interior
How tall are you and your back passengers?
@@markmd9 6ft
Better off with something like the kia sportage GT line plug in hybrid. Space, looks, performance, economical, good looking and feeling interior etc.. im a japanese car fan and its disappointing they just not getting the space and interior right! Comon!!!! Toyota!!!!!
Thanks for the review, Is the seat height as high as the qashqai?
Absolutely as much flexibility in it anyway
is your test car FWD or AWD?
FWD
Do you guys have catalytic converter theft issues over there? I honestly couldn't do a hybrid SUV cause it makes it even easier for them due to height and hybrids is what they target. Either combustion or full electric for me, one or the other, no combos. Just my 2c. Nice car indeed for what it is, really nice car, but this one is going to be targeted big time by thieves. Maybe fake badging would help to pretend it's the petrol only version so they don't bother, who knows.
It happens alright for sure!
@@NobbyOnCars Interesting. It's everywhere it seems. I am picking up my new Cupra Ateca tomorrow (the 300 HP/400nm version), Australia here, and I was thinking of getting some sort of catalytic deterrent since there is a lot of news about the thefts lately in OZ. Hopefully that, and whilst alarm is blaring will be enough for them to go to next vehicle. That said I am doing a full tri cam (front/rear/interior) dash cam setup with parking mode so I can at least see who does this sort of shit if it does happen (but mostly for possible accident evidence of course).
Do you reckon they definitely target hybrid over 100% combustion cars? Ateca is not that high compared to normal SUV but I think they can still get under it easier. yeah I have full insurance already but it's the hassle of it all.
Love the reviews by the way. You do a good job and it's great for me cause you mostly do right hand drive variants. Cheers!
How does the 1.8 engine compare with the 2.0 in terms of actual driving? Is the 2.0 worth the extra money?
Haven’t been in the 1.8 in this yet.
Mine is 1.8
The flashlight in front are not the same and the driver dashboard not the same..everything else is totally the same
You just kind of glanced over it but why in this day and age why would anyone pay for a sat nav subscription , is this Toyota trying to start the same stuff there doing in the USA where you get charged extra to make the remote door locking and unlocking on the key fobs work .
You can program that yourself.
You get four years subscription with the car and pay after the four years for over the air updates.
Toyota are too late with this car - they could've owned this space in Europe 10 years ago. Plus when they did launch it, it was 2019 and it's been on sale in Asia since 2020, so it's older than the Yaris Cross
If you put the sportage be side it. You would drive away happy in the sportage.
But they say many things about sportage's transmisson :(
I can’t see how this is better than a Qashqai ePower in any way. More expensive, grim interior, equipment much less comprehensive, smaller, CVT auto etc etc. Possibly a bit more economical. Have you driven the latest Qashqai? I did last week and bought one straight away -€40k for a Tekna with two tone paint. In a different class.
Sure have!
Nissan Qashqai e-power review | How easy is it on petrol?
ruclips.net/video/YfFx2n9aYCg/видео.html
Nissan hybrid system is young and not fine-tuned
Great review. Hard to like though. Most Toyota’s in the market are very bland, hard to how know how long the bland safe strategy is sustainable for.
Seems to work for them to be fair 🤣👌🏻
@@NobbyOnCars They are in deed death by Grey.
Obviously you fail to answer your own question. Let me instead: No, it is not better than a Tucson. Not even close.
What would I do without you eh?
@@NobbyOnCarsget a life?
@@caskraker you’re the one arguing with the internet 🤣🤣🤣
Outdated safety features - compared to KIA Sportage.
A bit cheeky to compare Toyota and Nissan. Toyota will never have the bad reputation that Nissan has
Normal people won’t give a flying f, they just want to know is it bigger or smaller than an Qashqai.
@@NobbyOnCars I think you underestimate normal people who watch car reviews on RUclips
Well put it this way, you're the only person that's mentioned it here.
@Nobby On Cars Reliability has to be factored into any major purchase. I understand you're not going to call them out on it for fear of not being given cars to review by the manufacturer.
Nissan/Renault are known for bad electrics and have many failures with their diesel engines
Is it just me or this car looks like it has a sad face 😦. It seems Toyota designer are generally sad.
Overpriced and far too small.. gloomy, dark interior... Much better vehicles at this price..
Just too expensive!
Diamond cut alloys and piano black plastic, the scourge of nearly all moderns...
A way to charge more money eh
@@NobbyOnCars Had a MK7 GTI with diamond cut alloys, which was bought used from a franchised VW dealer. The alloys were 'refurbished' by said dealer prior to purchase, but within 12 months they had started to corode, badly. I complained and was told, not covered by the extended warranty, the drivers seat also broke and this wasn't covered by the so called 'VW warranty' either and they wanted £500 to repair it. The Drivers SEAT! I declined. I then went to a proper alloy wheel repairer and was told by them that the wheels had been 'butchered' by the previous work done, they had taken off too much material, this was the wheel repairs undertaken by a franchised VW dealer, remember, and that my only option was to have the wheels painted, they recommended gun metal grey and did a fabulous job, unlike the franchised VW dealer. But that's John Clarks VW for you. Piano black plastic is a horrible thing which should be banned as all it does is attract, dirt, finger prints and scratches very quickly indeed. Rant over!
Not winning at all is this car. Sol model €44360. Base Rav4 hybrid €43015. 2.5 engine. buckets of room...little higher fuel used but as they say. Bigger is better.
Some people will want spec over space, plenty of money out there for some in this little country of ours
Ug
Looks BORING compared to Hyundai / Kia
It's as boring a car as what I'd expect from toyota
Not available in the UK at the moment so no point watching, bye bye
Hybrid SUV? bit of an oxymoron that. Surely If ur after an economical motor and u dont specifically need raised ride height then an estate,hatchback or saloon will provide more economy due to the more aerodynamic shape and less body weight. Then again Karen might look down at u on the school run in ur peasant hatchback. God forbid u didnt follow the rest of the SUV sheeple.Less space, heavier, worse handling,more.expensive and mpg.I just dont get it??
