I just got a Cross XLE. I had a 2020 RAV4 XLE. I have to say this car feels very comfortable. The cargo space is almost identical as I haul equipment as a working musician.
@vn01208503 it is a smaller car, but it rides and handles completely different. The RAV4 to me feels alot bigger. Plus the Cross has better gas mileage. The RAV4 felt underpowered for me off the line. I'm a musician and all of my gear still fits in the rear trunk so that was a surprise.
@@vn01208503 Corolla cross has different engine and transmission. RAV4 is more powerful. RAV4 does has more space. RAV4 is based on Camry, this is based on Corolla
Appreciate the LE review in FWD. This is the model I would get. Interesting colour for sure. Thanks for wait time updates. Has everything I need in a new vehicle (would appreciate sunroof, but don't need awd myself). Thanks 👍
I just got the ‘23 Cross LE, It does have a wireless charger however. I got it in The Celestite color as well. Gas mileage is immaculate, i just drove it to Georgia from Tennessee and we only stopped about 2 times the entire trip for gas. Mine doesn’t have heated seats or steering wheel tho, which is fine since i live in the Southern US. Overall i give it a 8/10 rating. My only complaint is theres not a lot of leg room being a taller person, but thats it. Great Job Toyota
Thank you for your excellent video . Just 2 quick question, Is the fuel tank plastic just like the Hatchback and the sedan? Where is it build? Thank you for your help.
I own a 2022 Corolla Cross for several months now. Love mostly everything about it, but there are two things that must be improved: 1. If you are in a situation where you need to quickly pick up the speed, you push the gas pedal, and the car literally digs itself into a place, in other words, make awful struggling noise and does not move. That can honestly mean life or death in a critical situations when one tries to avoid collision or a similar situation. 2. If for a reason you must stop in the middle of a steeper hill, then start driving again, good luck. Similar result, the car can't accelerate promptly; one has to sloooowly be adding acceleration in order to continue the drive. If you add wet or snow/slippery conditions to that, you are not going anywhere. This is a first hand testimony. I live in a hilly Seattle. Would I buy this car again? Only if these issues were corrected. Otherwise no.
@@athropos exactly correct. I owned the 2006 Corolla, and never had the above mentioned issues. Very disappointed with Cross performing poorly with acceleration. I hope the hybrid model is not experiencing these issues, as I understand it has more HP, but am not sure on how it's distributed when power is needed vs. the gas engine model. I think it's the CVT transmission that creates the issue 😔.
@@unariver5810 I'm going to test the Mazda CX30 today, hopefully I end up loving it. I was really sure about the corolla cross until I drove it and it felt floaty and disconnected and sluggish. Now I'm not so sure. CX30 has a traditional automatic transmission and 191hp so it should be more snappy for sure.
@@unariver5810 Bought the Mazda CX30 today on the spot. In about 30 seconds it felt immensely better to drive than the Cross. It didnt do the whole dig into place thing, very progressive and strong acceleration and the steering didnt feel disconnected and aloof like the Toyota. Very pleased.
I bought one. Rear seat area is very limited, and even more if front seats are slide to the back. Then the knees of rear passengers will be touching the back of the seats. The trunk is big.
Hi Marcello. From Montreal here. I put down a deposit on Rav4 xle hybrid premium this week. I read on the web that premium package might be faster delays. I don't know if that is true. Anyways thanks for your reviews.
Hi, Marcelo I went to toyota dealer hear in ontario and order the same car toyota corolla cross 2023 in same coulor , but the sale man told me canadian side only come with black seats and black dashboard , bur the car you show us in your video is in grey colour , so what is your informations about that , thank you
I've had toyota 2013 corolla S for 10 years where I got bored. I've recently rsvp 2023 corolla cross LE awd in wind chill pearl aka the sexy white with moonroof and roof racks. It won't arrive til mid November and it's like baby rav4.
So this is same price as a Kona but it’s a better brand and bigger? Or do they lie about the pricing? Online it shows price at $23k So could I go to dealership and get that price or is it always more?

"Let's talk about the color ... " yes please , lets do that . Its grey. Its boring as hell. Its blends in with every other boring black/grey/silver nondescript car on the road. It has no soul. Ford has some great colors, and Chrysler does as well. If Toyota wants to appeal to younger buyers they need to pull their heads out of their collective behinds and stop the heavy bias toward BORING COLORS on most entry level vehicles. If you are producing more then two shades of grey than you are pushing it too hard. (Don't bother replying with grey cars sell more because that is a self fulfilling prophesy. Buyers can only buy the colors you offer.)
I've rented a Mazda since than my Toyota still in shop waiting for parts to arrive complete shitshow man, this mazda is a beautiful machine hands down.
@@moeanthony9308 mine is still at the shop, what proof do you need? Cvt failed at 7k miles and engine makes bad ticking sound geting repaired under warranty. end of toyota reliability. I was huge fan of toyota until now, was a diehard toyota fan for over 14years. I'll never buy another one again.
So because yours is in the shop you’re claiming they’re unreliable? Lol. I’m apart of groups on the Corolla hatch, sedan and cross. No one is having issues with this.
I own the Corolla Cross LE AWD model and I had no issues. You're the first person who had issues with this vehicle so maybe there's a defect with yours. But to say Toyota is unreliable I honestly thought that was funny.
I have a corolla sedan 2020, I test drove the cross and it feels the exact same, only difference was I was higher from the ground. I looove it!😊

I actually did the same thing. I put my deposit down a week ago with my local dealership.
Love the color and review!

I paid down on mines yesterday
Me too, I love mine
We are expecting our 2023 LE in Wind Chill Pearl on February 8. Can’t wait!
Hi David, I have a quick question if I may. What is your wait time?
Ordered on January 2.
Im also expecting my rav4 XLE to arrive in feb 26 2031!
So soon?
That’s pretty quick. I ordered in the summer of last year and I was told 3 to 5 months time frame. Still haven’t receive any updates.
I have the RAV 4 XLE hybrid 2023 and I'm in love 🥰 so glad I got it...
Great review 👍 I was waiting for your review , thanks 🙏

I believe yes
Cool nice Car
Thank for the review. What would you recommend rav4 Le awd or corolla cross Le awd?
RAV4
Really appreciate for the video. I was very excited to know about updates, this video helped me a lot. Thanks again very much
Np
Thanks for sharing your video good review can you tell me when the Corolla cross hybrid will arrive take care bye from milton Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
Looks just like my 22 corolla cross le
I bought this unit, 2023, but in the basic model. I am wondering what a small square in the rear bumper is for?
I wish the tailights at the rear should look like XLE which is full LED and when its ON, the lights up the corner bit but also on the lift gate/trunk.
This is the model and color I want

Not necessarily true. It’s a very volatile system
Can a rear wiper blade be added ?
Awesome thanks , what the waited time for this bad boys 😄, can I order through you bud ?
I really like this suv, for what you get. it almost has much as the RAv4 in cargo and very aggressive styling. I would like to get one,
Any update on RAV4 XSE hybrid 2023???
Gorgeous colour
I am considering a cross, can it be ordered with a factory lift kit?
I have the budget for the LE model I like one more than the XLE model, and L model. I drove the RAV4 it's decent.
We love our 2022 AWD TCC , my only 2 beefs, the 47L tank is too small and no push button close tailgate.
Any news about 2023 corolla cross hybrid? And when will be available?
Summer time
I just purchased a Toyota Corolla cross LE AWD and find all the tongues light is always on, I would like to know is this normal? Thank you so much.
Correction: The Corolla Cross LE AWD truck’s light is always on, is this normal? Thank you so much.
does car come with blind spot mirror?
Does the back fold down?

put a deposit down for this exact one in cypress color at the end of june and after a couple delays its finally coming next week!

Did you say 12 month wait time ?

What's the point you can't buy one
Looks like its fresh off the 1990's assembly line..
No wonder why Toyota wanted to buy my cross all they doing is upgrading the 22 model with new features smh same body and all
That's a USB ???
Looks like the bottom ends of the dash might interfere with knees getting in and out. Such a big bulge.

LMAO, "Necessary alloy wheels".
This car has a much bigger screen it seems than my 2023 highlander xle gas model. SMH. wtf, toyota?
