This SUV Will Be A Game Changer! 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross review - inc Hybrid, price and more! 4K

- The 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross small SUV is set to shake up the segment. But is it any good?
With competitive pricing, hybrid powertrains and better space than you'd expect, Richard Berry says the new model hits the nail on the head - but why on Earth did it take Toyota so long to figure out this could be the sweet spot in the market?
The brand already has the C-HR, which is a bit too quirky for some and very tight in the back and boot. Then there's the Yaris Cross, which sits below the Corolla Cross and is going to be too small for some family car buyers. And then there's the all-conquering RAV4, which might be out of your price range, or just a bit too big.
That's where this model - the Corolla Cross - lines up the crosshairs and fires for success. It is considerably more practical and spacious than the Corolla hatchback, and offers better usability and the much desired ride height over the Corolla sedan.
So, is this the best model to wear the Corolla badge, yet? And are there any downsides? Watch the video to find out, and rear Richard's review (link below).

My dream car. Now to keep the dream alive I have to keep dreaming for 13 months.
Love this. What's missing are delivery timeline predictions, as everything else fades into the background when you find out that you won't get this car for 12 months
True, that's why I went on buying a good old brand new full petrol engine as what it is available straight away in the market for my needs.
Why? Isn't it imported from Thailand?
I orderd it yesterday and I’m getting it before the end of this year ;)
@tin12445 did you buy the petrol or hybrid?
good review & funny as well....saves me watching Benny Hill tonight...!!!!!!!!
50.000k for the corolla cross and no ventilate seats I think they are getting too much greedy 🏧🥶
It's too small for the price
@Jovan llijevski Its called GLOBAL CHIP SHORTAGE. Currently Demand Exceeds Supply. Thats why Toyota is charging higher than usual.
Do all models have air cond outlets for the back seat passengers?
Atmos get auto parking? The Toyota website doesn't mention it. Can you confirm this?
Was driving this in Taiwan since 12/2021. One of the best cars i ever owned.
Does the passenger seat have a height adjustment?
According to Toyota website. Top of the line RAV4 Edge AWD with 2.5litre engine and sunroof - Driveaway $56,098. Top of the line Corolla Cross Atmos AWD with 2.0litre engine and sunroof - Driveaway $53,552. Smaller vehicle with less power, less towing capacity and a floor that does not lay flat. Bugger all difference in fuel economy. Why would you bother for such a small difference in price?
Well you can get this car sooner and in some cases this year or early next year.
The RAV4 will already see a price increase and given the 18 months wait times, the RAV4 will be considerably more expensive before it is delivered.
@@marlonspeed24 I do not know where you got that information about this year or early next year. Whilst there may be a small number of deliveries to entice people to purchase, Toyota's global website indicates that production delays are affecting all models, particularly hybrids with the suspension of production lines at numerous factories, and the "situation remains difficult to predict due to semiconductor shortages and COVID-19."
RAV4 will be getting a price increase of a few thousand dollars in the coming months, plus wait times are now approaching 2 years for the hybrid models. Toyota are passing price rises onto customers so even if you were to order one today, the final price you pay may end up being several thousands more than what was initially agreed on.
They are upgrsding the rav 4 to have same tech as this from my understanding and it will have a price increase.
With no turbo rip off
Is this the Toyota Corolla Cross 2023 LE AWD Premium? Ty
Toyota New Zealand charges $48K for the Limited version & $44k for the GXL version. The Corolla SX is $38k. Capped servicing is more expensive @ NZ$305. My 1st car is an Aqua 2013 brought in 2018, so will order a 2024 Cross or SX Corolla hatch next year. Cross versions arrive early in the year, hatch versions later in the year.
What happened to Toyota's CEO saying no more boring cars??? ....
😂😂
Loved your comment about King Chuck's ears. This SUV looks to be a good option, but having to wait a long while to get one delivered isn't appealing.
You can't get one basically,he doesn't mention that
Does it have a FULL SIZE SPARE WHEEL..
Turning radius 10.5m, compare that to the 12m turning radius of a Ioniq 5. This Corolla Cross car is nimble so easy to park! Ladies and Gents will also love the comfortable suspension... it's a very sensible car, it's great!
Best car reviewer actually
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BEHAVE LIKE AN IDIOT TO REVIEW A GREAT CAR. THE CAR DOES NOT DESERVE SUCH BEHAVIOUR. IT'S A GREAT CAR AND I HAVE ONE, THE HYBRID.
Awesome man he is... love seeing his reviews
The corolla cross or the rav4 which one would you pick?
No petrol AWD?
this is basically what the rav4 before it grew larger over time.. same w honda crv and hrv
HRV is considerably smaller
That old Rav4 could tow something bigger though ;)
And where can I buy the hybrid version of GX for 35K?? 🤔
Lol mr berry very entertaining 🎉😊
Get the GXL without the electric seats and without the sunroof (which doesn't open) which add a 142kg to the car! Plus you backside wont burn on leather seats.
Shot bro , just bought the GXL hybrid
Do I have to wait 3 years to get one?
Good luck
Depends how much you're willing to pay for one...
Hilarious as usual. But always a joy to watch.
These things are going to be everywhere ... in 12 months time
just a newer version of the Matrix, the Matrix was a great car and I'm sure the Corolla Cross won't disappoint either
So happy to hear the news today that our Atmos Awd Corolla cross will be arriving in January. We just did the order a month ago. Exciting!
Wow that’s so great! What state are you in? We haven’t had any update since ordering our atmos awd over 2 months ago..
@@ItsMadiison Central Queensland
Nothing is to be excited about This vehicle has very sensitive traction control, which means no matter how slow you are driving when you hit on a pothole or the road is an uneven step on the brake the traction is on, but Toyota said that is normal😂
@@stonelock2155 that's fine. It's not gonna be a big deal when it's not gonna happen all the time anyway.
as usual a very dramatic review, I love it Chris
Richard
@@oggyoggy1299 ya I know. He looks like captain America aka Chris Evans
That was great ! Now I keep waiting for My AWD Atmos to Arrive early next year.🎉🎉🎉
The point he made about the rear window is an important one. It means the rear view mirror sits very low on the windscreen and different height drivers have to adjust the seat height every time they use it. This is done by pumping this stupid lever on the side of the seat. How could Toyota stuff it up so badly?
The moon roof plus electric seats add 142kg to the Corolla Cross Hybrid. That's a lot! Doesn't help performance!
You've been very positive re the petrol Forrester lately, so is this newby value for money?
I thought it was a new 2023 xtrail. In side profile anyway.
Wait time .???
I hear wait time is 4 weeks .
Anybody recognise which beach that is? (it's a Northern Beaches, Sydney beach)
Whale Beach
@@EnShinNoi Thanks - thought it might be
Happy to see this . Have one on order !😊
What colour ?
@@mvnorsel6354 jungle khaki if we can get it as the dealer still has no idear what colours are comeing on next arrival yet!
What are the current wait times?
@@THEAC83 My dealer wait list is not over the top and
estimate early 2023. On the model I order. But in this day and age anytime .
@@THEAC83 it depends on the dealership. So ask around. I reached out to a few and every dealer has a fixed allocation each month. When I asked around earlier in week( Oct 15), some dealers were saying they had already exhausted their allocation and wait times were 6 months. However, a couple still had a few models available and were currently being built with delivery in December or January.
In Australia you have to pay a $9.95 to $12.50 a month subscription service for Toyota Connected Services after 1 year free. Also has wireless apple car play but is wired android auto🤡🤡
I moved to Sydney from the States and bought a Hyundai Palisade last Ausgust. I'm selling it now....Why? Australian roads are too effing narrow, under ground parkings are the worst, they are only designed for teeny-tiny cars like this corolla. SMH.
50k for a Corolla lol
Such a huge fan of this guy😅
Compare this to the Honda HR-V. The Honda has a smaller engine, significantly lacks many key features, has a shorter service interval and is priced the same. Hmmmm, I wonder which is better value for money?
All SUV's should be checked for a flat floor when the back seats are folded down.
"Hybrid: You don't need to plug it in"? You need to plug petrol in at $2/litre. Probably not in the manual.
Not really a Corolla. But I like it and this will sell like sauages in bread on Saturday at Bunnings.
No wonder the Haval is selling like hotcakes. 50k lol
Exactly my thoughts mate 🙄
34,500 top of the range haval jolion
Try and sell a Haval in 5 years. You might get change for a cup of coffee if you're lucky.
@@seriouslysampson We might wait for another pandemic and sell then for the same price we bought it for instead! ;) Enjoy your plastic hilux for 60k in the meantime! haha
@@seriouslysampson The Haval will most likely be rusted away in 5 years chinese metal and design is rubbish sadly the average buyer does not know this and will find out the hard way.
I like him.
There is no space at the back….
It is a 5* euroncap;)
So jealous y’all get all the features!😖
Shame you can't even buy one.
this is going to be a good review..😁😁
Best review by the best reviewer. And I'm the best reviewee btw. Sauce bottle scene deserves some sort of accolade.
This thing looks sooooo plain and uninspiring. Toyota’s white goods designers are back in force! The hire car companies are going to love it.
It will be as successful as the Yaris cross 🤣
Too much road noise!
50 k? Hmmmm
“Cross” obviously stands for cheap interiors in Toyota speak. What is with those heated seat and steering wheels switches - they look like the ones you get from eBay for $2.
CarsGuide found the the missing magical element for good car content, and its Richard Berry.
Typical modern car. SUV, CVT, the personality of a fry pan, and overpriced to hell and back - No thanks
The Atmos has a significantly better sound system which wasn’t mentioned.
Not worth paying $7000 extra for it though
For this price, I pick haval hybrid h6
Haha!
Overpriced especially AWD - RAV is ugly virtually same price - almost in realms of Luxury Tax
So this is where those just out of acting school end up. 🤔
Would prefer a plugin hybrid version.
The review of the inside could have been better. You did not show them properly. How big are the back door car pockets. Are the back AC air vents standard across the range. Are there charging ports in the back seat, and are they standard. Things like that. I like your videos for making the videos interesting, by your commic elements, but this review really looked half baked. Very little details mentioned here. The camera hardly went inside the car. Also, I did not see the differences in the different varients of the car, when you got to drive all of them.
Back door pockets fit a regular 200ml water bottle or a slim larger bottle. Rear passenger AC vents are standard. Rear charging ports are standard on the GXL and Atmos variants.
@@marlonspeed24 Thanks for the information. We can all get the information from Toyota Australia website. My point is, that they are missing a lot of details in the video. The comedy is good, and I like him for making the reviews interesting, but in this one, it looks like a half baked review.
@@avghosh I get your point. However, this wasn't a full review. It was a launch event and no one had a lot of time with the vehicles. Once the journalists get a car in their garages I hope to see a full detailed review.
@@marlonspeed24 I understand that, but there are reviews launched already by other Australian car reviewing channels with a more comprehensive review. And I have been seeing the car on the road for more than 2 weeks now. Isn't it good enough time to review a car. Ideally the review should have come earlier.
@@avghosh as far as I'm aware the launch event only happened recently and the embargo for reviews only lifted on 20th October at 19.00.
I agree that some reviews are more detailed. However, some channels also had a longer period with the test cars.
I’ll say this about Steve, Phillip and Janine, they’ll make sure you know.
This gave everyone more reason to buy the haval jolion hybrid , more car , higher tech better safety features and way more space and comfort for $5000 less
You should work for the Haval marketing department 😀
Those are ugly cabin interiors.
And they are roof rails not roof racks.
The Corolla Cross is 100% NOT an SUV. It’s a Crossover. In fact it’s the very definition. An SUV-like vehicle based on a passenger vehicle (car) which this is. Also the name is a giveaway like the Yaris Cross and the Eclipse Cross - these are all Crossovers not SUVs.
An actual SUV is a Sports Utility (vehicle) NOT based on a passenger vehicle (car). It’s either based on another SUV platform, a Ute platform, it’s own unique platform or a different body on frame platform (sometimes - often in the US).
I think you’ll find the door will only lock/unlock with excessive water splashing if the proximity key is also in range of the said door.
I have zero interest in this car, it's ugly, expensive and impractical.
But I will watch absolutely any review with Richard Berry in it, dude is sooo entertaining! 😂
Different good.
Geez it is a boring looking car, not sure how you could add a bit of flare to it, some sort of sports pack? wide wheels? roof racks with a bolted-on surfboard.
Nah, sorry. As for the humor….
How big is the battery and its range?
It’s a hybrid not PHEV
No one is going to buy the Hybird for $49 grand. You can get a Highlander very nicely equipped for that! Toyota is loosing its' self, can't see the trees for the forest. Corporate greed and desperation on full display.
Just review the cards the comedy stuff is an annoying distraction.
Who would be stupid enough to spend $50K on a hybrid when great full ev suvs like MG4 are arriving for less than $40K and you will also save another $5K to $10K in fuel and maintenance costs?
People that live in apartments without chargers, as the public charging infrastructure is still years behind relative to the number of new EVs sold. And even worse, any long distance driving outside of the city only further compounds the fact.
I've had six Toyotas but I'm pretty sure my last one will be the last one.
If we can put the rise of Hyundai and Kia down to anything it's Toyota's habit in the last decade of bringing boring, overpriced cars with short warranties to the market and then daring potential buyers to look at the opposition.
All the legacy manufacturers are doing the same thing with EVs. It's almost as if they're purposely pushing people into Chinese cars and raising the manufacturing expertise of the Chinese car brands.
In fact the term "legacy" is interchangeable with LEMMING.
nothing stays still. they evolve.
I'm sure toyota will miss you.
11:16 if that's referring to the keyless entry system, my Mondeo does that too if I'm hosing down my car with my keys in my pocket.
11:46 remember the Tercel?
should I buy a Toyota or a Jeep? Jeep might be better quality, but Toyotas look nice
Wish we could get Ford territory 2023.
You can't buy one at the moment so this is a pointless exercise
What’s the point of this car? Why everything nowadays gotta be SUV? Pointless especially small and medium SUV… just as small as a hatch back (much more expensive, consume more natural resources), basically a hatchback with more ground clearance and high Center of gravity to make handling worse to add to the insult… if I buy an SUV I will sure get a full size SUV, not a small or medium size SUV. Just my opinion…
it's a corolla station wagon and 8to 10 k too much
Typical bland Toyota interior .
CVT 🤢
Dont waste the sauce.
Don't tell people what to do with items they purchased :)
@@kellytomlinson4439 be careful what you wish for
This guy is painful to watch. First review on the Corolla Cross that I have seen. Thought I would watch it but could only make it to the three minute mark. Interesting car. Can’t wait to see a normal review of this car.
CvT... I'm out.
The top model doesn't worth the price
First
No it won't be a game changer. It looks like crap.
Why would u get this ancient dinosaur rather than a BYD Atto 3 for the same money?
This rubbish sounds like paid advertisement than an actual review.
If you live in an apartment with no charging duh. And don’t get me started on public charging, same cost as petrol if not more - and that’s assuming you can even get to one with how limited the availability of charging stations are.
Auto park is laziness pointless feature
This guy is a fool.
Embarrassing presenter. Just foolish
Troll
See you in 2025
