      But it was what I wanted/ needed/ and compared with the RAV4 it is dam near the same size minus 5 centimeters in headroom/ and a lot of different options available.

I test drove a new Honda Civic before I decided on the Cross and was totally unimpressed. The ride/suspension was horrible and very uncomfortable for one thing. Just wasn’t the car for me. So back to the Toyota dealership for me! With the Cross, I’m also impressed with the mileage I have been getting. The other day, I got 39 mpg out of it. Who needs a hybrid? 😄 Besides, I wanted a spare tire and hybrids don’t have a spare.

My bigger issue is the crappy CVTs they moved to in the last 10 years. Those have caused issues. Also some problems with fuel/oil intermingling in CRVs, mostly in colder climate areas. Niece took a used CRV over 210,000 miles in college. Loved it and bought her first ever new car, 2020 CRV. It has had a few major issues and while the dealer has addressed them, mostly, she is not a "raving Honda lover" anymore. Since she is still paying for her car she cant afford to trade it in and get a new one but I would guess when she does it will be a Toyota.

    I own a 2020 Toyota Corolla Hybrid. The 50 mpg you mentioned is way lower than the mileage I have ever gotten. I bought the car new in the Spring of 2019 and it now has 52K miles. I live in the Pacific Northwest and get 55 mpg in the winter and 65 mpg in the summer, averaging 60 mpg. So far it has been completely trouble free. That said, I am very satisfied and will NEVER buy an EV. The only problem is that the state of Washington doubles the cost to license hybrids every year because they use less gasoline (hence less gas tax revenue) and those greedy politicians want to get some of it back. I hope that’s not a problem in most states.

      I originally thought I'd buy a hybrid, but I'm retired now and have another car as well, and realized I might not put even 4k miles a year on the new one. Which is not a concern most people have, I know. But if you don't put that much mileage or more on a hybrid the batteries don't get charged like they need to and they won't last as long. What I don't want is a hybrid with its batteries wearing out earlier in the vehicle's life than they already do.

I usually know ( or try to at least ) enough about what I'm buying before I do so. I'm in the same position as you are, although, I put more kilometres on a vehicle in a year, perhaps than normal, about 26,000, and that amount will be lessened to about 18000 or so in the coming years.

    The Toyota Cross Hybrid looks like a decent value proposition. Compared to the Subaru Outback Premium its off-road capability looks like it is lacking but it does get better fuel economy. The XMODE on the Subaru offers better AWD traction and it has slightly better ground clearance. For under $30k the Subaru Premium (sold below MSRP) may be a better overall value. It is larger and other than silicone gaskets should last over 200k miles.

    I test drove one of these and I didn't like it. Very under powered. Sits low to the ground and the blind spots are terrible. I had to floor it to get on the interstate during my test drive. I was replacing a 2004 Rav4 and it for sure didn't have anymore power than that Rav. I ended up with a Subaru Forester and I couldn't be happier. If you are just driving around town the Corolla Cross would be ok. If you do a lot of highway driving, look elsewhere.

    I prefer the CHR over the Cross any day. The reason why we went with a Subaru Crosstrek instead is because it’s still in production. But I was very vocal about wanting a 2024 C-HR.
    Any word on the models of the Cross being produced in New Zealand?

    In 1960, i recall the sudden popularity of compact cars. My father bought a Ford Falcon which was small, light, and had no frills, not even a radio. At that time, the only pickups were driven by working farmers, and the speed limit on our country roads were 55 for cars and 45 for trucks. This austerity was the genesis of the resulting boom in the auto industry. Today's car are more like the overweight, overpriced and overindulged people who drive their too large vehicles.

    We own a 2020 Corolla Hybrid. It's one of the best cars I've ever owned. 53 mpg, and it has a full size spare tire! I had to buy this tire and a rim aftermarket, but at least Toyota provided a storage well for it under the cargo floor. I love the idea of the Corolla Cross Hybrid, but somehow, it's fuel economy is a whopping 25% LESS than that of the regular Corolla Hybrid. And Toyota chose to route several high voltage cables through the spare tire well, and provide only a patch kit, so you can't use the well to put a real spare tire in there, even though it's big enough to carry one. Very disappointed in this, Toyota!

      @bartlebyscrivener2980 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You're seeing marked-up Crosses then. The new Huntsville plant is producing much lower numbers of them than the demand for them so far, just a fraction of the North American RAV4 production. There is even higher demand for RAV4's, but much higher production, too, and the supply shortfall is worse for Crosses. To get a Cross for MSRP you pay a deposit and wait for half a year or more.

    I’m planning on buying one of these to succeed my 2010 RAV4 that’s still going strong, but starting to need that annoying high mileage maintenance. Hopefully I can get it for less than $25k out the door, but realistically it’s gonna be more than that if I buy brand new … kinda hard to justify not buying new when used are literally $1-2k less, it seems!

    Reality is, OEMs price cars are what the market will bear. If customers are willing to take bigger and longer loans terms to afford the latest and greatest, that's what they will do. Both Ford and Stellantis seem to have abandoned the compact budget car market, GMnstill has the Equinox, Spark . This matters, bc the average salary has not kept pace with inflation and this entry point in the market is big, volume wise. The Japanese, Korean brands have not abandoned the sub compact segment. When the Chinese arrive, you can bet that they will focus there too. Volume is key in auto. As it allows you to spread your development and tooling costs over more units. Very short sighted by Ford and Stellantis.

    Corolla Cross has bigger fuel tank , I think they both are great value for the money

      There's no excuse for rudeness. But I also noticed what an awkward situation Toyota salespeople find themselves in. They don't have their in-demand model cars available for customers to look at and test drive. And if it's a dealership that does have Crosses or RAV4s on the lot, that's only because they've marked them up and offend customers that way. They're stuck as just wait-list managers, or else shysters with the high markups.
