A Little RAV4, A Little Highlander And A Lot Of Corolla = The 2022 Corolla Cross
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.ย. 2021
- The Corolla turns out to be one of the most versatile nameplates in history. It's been around forever, there have been sedans, hatches, liftbacks, coupes, and wagons. There have been boring Corollas, cute Corollas, ugly Corollas, diesel Corollas, hybrid Corollas, and sports Corollas. So why not a crossover Corolla? That's Toyota's logic to bring the Corolla nameplate into the 21st century, and I'm kind of OK with that. Although the interior is a scale model of the Corolla sedan and hatch, Toyota absolutely nailed the exterior design by mixing a little RAV and a little Highlander into this subcompact CUV.

Great to see a review of a sensible affordable SUV compared to all these other $50,000 plus new SUV’s hitting the market.
looks good to not a jelly bean look a like hard to see out the back no love for the Venza
A lot of the new luxury SUVs have horrid reliability and poor real world fuel economy.
💲💲🤘🏼💲💲
Depends on your definition of "affordable" 40k is not affordable either for most buyers.
@@homelessmillionaire1 id just look at a base model no over priced opts
Thank you for not only showing/focusing on the top trim. Most car videos only show off the most expensive version. Great video!
Alex says exactly what we need to hear, and nothing more. And nothing less! He really puts other car reviewers to shame.
very well said.....now if we could only get him to comment at least once in the comment section ;)
He didn’t tell us if the hybrid system will be available with AWD, but he took time to tell us what stitching was real, and what was not. I didn’t really need to know that.
you mean the part that he's young, hip, and urban?
@@rzu7120 That's because nobody freaking knows when it will come out let alone what it will come with genius.
Looks like a home run but I'm going to wait for the Hibrid version.
Kinda makes me wonder why at this stage they’d be even introducing a new model like this with a gas engine. Just go hybrid and plug in and get over the petrol addiction.
Same.
@@JohnCap523 There is still a battery component shortage around the world and the engine/transmission are straight from the Corolla, so readily available. Petrol prices in North America are MUCH lower than Europe too.
@@afcgeo882 Point taken but they didn’t decide on this last week, or even 6 months ago. There’s just a resistance to moving forward that trickles down from Ford, GM, Toyota, to the buying public.
In the US, in particular….
Hybrid systems are amazing but you pay extra up front then face faster depreciation because many do not want a used hybrid battery vehicle.
Every other car reviewer this morning - Hey, this is new Corolla Cross.
Alex - A Little RAV4.
Return of the AWD Toyota Matrix ?
My thought too
This is the Corolla Cross review I've been waiting for. The others out there so far are fine. There's just something about your review style that covers all of the bases in the way that my brain clicks. Looking forward to hearing further impressions from you once you have a chance to do a little more of a traditional AoA test.
I do really like it. But I wish the just brought a Corolla Wagon from overseas and just gave it the Outback treatment. I would be all over it.
AGREED! ?they have an AWD Corolla wagon on sale in Japan.
Excellent review. I think a ton of these vehicles will be sold in some markets. Affordable, and reliable is what Corolla stands for, and this is a more practical version of that, which is good.
Just what I need. I'm in a '20 Crosstrek, that's me, it's ok, I prefer Toyota. If Toyota puts in a good size hybrid engine like the Lexus UH 250 181hp, I'm in. This is a nice car! Great job Alex!
Richard: The Hybrid will be out next year, I am sure it will have that hybrid system. My Hybrid save me alot of money.
I doubt it will be that much Horsepower, because it will want to save fuel because of North America strict standards. It will have Prius system with over 121 hP. But if you know Toyota's Hybrid system, they have plenty of power because it uses two motors powered with the hybrid system, so there will be alot of torque. Toyota hybrid the torque is not rated because it can be very high, also if you want more power you need to get the Rav4 hybrid which is 219HP . I want to get one too, i expect it to get adleast 40 to 50mpg.
Difinitly the way to go. Hybrid-AWD... Wait & see....✌🏽
Another great review that is professional, objective and concise. Too many other channels go with funny vibe, not professional at all.
The hybrid is exciting. This could potentially be a car with 8 inches of clearance, AWD, and ~45 mpg.
Absolutely. However I'm concerned they will use the Prius drivetrain. They should at least pair the hybrid to the 2.0
In Asia the hybrid is paired with 1.8L and is rated at about 54mpg
Wow 54 is wild. That's basically a Prius. I wonder if they will do the awd hybrid though
@@adammorrone875 I'm sure their rating cycle is nothing like that in the US. I've seen 55 mpg in a Prius driven gently, but this is heavier and less aerodynamic. I'd expect 50 mpg in perfect circumstances, but an EPA rating in the low-to-mid 40s.
@@chonk1071 Agreed, the Prius is gutless, cannot imagine that drivetrain in a vehicle with greater size and mass.
I am pleased to hear this is bigger than the first 2 generations of RAV4s. I am still driving the 2nd gen. It is still going strong and I don't need a new car yet, and I definitely don't want to "upgrade" to today's bloated RAV4. This Cross would just come in handy. Now please make one in hybrid prime and you will have my money.
In Canada, Heated front seats and a Heated steering wheel is standard in the LE trim, it's much appreciated in northern Ontario!
Carries the torch of the Corolla name fairly well I'd say. The driving performance is boring, but that's not why you're buying this - it's because you absolutely, positively need a daily that will go 100k+ miles before you ever have to worry about long term maintenance issues. If the money matters to you, then this vehicle is on the short list. AWD (or really good snow tires) is a must if you live in a place where winter is a thing.
AWD gets you an independent rear suspension which will be well worth the additional expense.
Toyota is very smart. They are putting their highest/most sales car and slowly converting it into a SUV/CUV class category so that in the future when the sedan car categories are dead or almost dead or even when the sales slumps then their Corolla SUV/CUV still remains and have already had a strong foothold in it. They are targeting all the customers in their mind, if you want a sedan here is a Toyota Corolla sedan and if you want a SUV/CUV then here's this too.
These are going to be EVERYWHERE
Agreed. People love the Corolla name, and this adds a big dose of practicality. The performance is ho-hum, but for commuting and going to Target, who cares? It will be a very popular transportation appliance.
Great review, as usual. I'll wait for the hybrid.
Should have been hybrid-only from the start, like the Venza.
given toyota being anti-ev you might have to wait awhile.
Just concerned about WHICH version of the hybrid it is; the 1.8L is barely enough in the Corolla, let alone this heavier version.
Is a Prime version planned?
@@laloajuria4678 They aren't anti EV, they are BEV-averse. They love their PHEVs and Hybrids.
Looks much better than the C-HR. in my opinion
Your straight forward and detailed review is greatly appreciated.
I suspect this will sell like hotcakes in Canada assuming the price is right. Canadians are more price sensitive since cars are usually 20% more expensive due to currency exchange. Corollas are more popular than Camrys, as are Civics vs Accords compared to the US. These CUVs are the hottest selling segment too and if the AWD add-on is reasonable, it's going to be a hit.
I'm from the US, and drove up to Vancouver for a week in a rental CX-5 and I was surprised how small some of the parking spaces are compared to the US, this Corolla Cross would be the perfect size as a daily grocery getter and commuter.
@Pauline Weinberger cela n'est pas gentil
Corolla wagon would be a better choice if only it was available. Awd is not an absolute necessicity ( I live north of ottawa ) and unnecessarily eats gasoline which as you say is very expensive here.
Work at a Toyota dealership in Canada. Nobody has yet to come in and ask about this. The rumored hybrid probably will be rare; we can't even get a RAV4 Hybrid or other in a reasonable time anymore. Current wait times is over 6 months because Toyota isn't building much at all. Lots of cancelled orders and upset people. Honestly kinda disappointed by this. Seems really boring, and should have replaced the silly C-HR. Interior also seems like a downgrade quality wise from a Corolla.
@@ShafinRehman lol silly chr and you work for a dealer,? Dude that silly car drives that you call it, is better than most Toyotas period from a suspension handling and nvh. Try again. You won't see a cross for awhile and CHR sales have gone up.
Looks like the closest thing we are going to get to a new MATRIX.
But slower :(
Disappointed you didn't show the back seat folded... this is important for many people, especially those with dogs. Flat-folding seat (or not) can be a key feature.
Great review Alex!
I always appreciate your very informative reviews . Thank you and have a wonderful day.
I'm anxiously waiting for this to arrive at dealerships, I'm ready to buy one 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Very good review and detailed orientated, I think this beats hrv when it comes to style and reliability and made in USA which is nice. I would appreciate if you could add the comparison of cargo space between the Same segment cars like hrv bcz that is the one of the important deciding factor to buy the car. Thanks for the review.
Awesome review Alex , very Detailed oriented, nice that that u show the Base Trim L model, which is one that most ppl will get. hope to see more reviews from the #corollacross 2022
I loved that he concentrated mainly on the LE, which will probably be the volume seller, with a bit of info on the other trims. It's refreshing seeing anything but a fully loaded model.
However, what's also noteworthy is how little price spread there is from the base L up to the XLE, just around $4k, plus more if you want AWD. That's a huge bargain given how much content is added.
I'd definitely get an XLE, if for no better reason that the silver trim cuts down the apparent size of the grille. The oversize schnozz is the only really ugly part of this model. The interior I could definitely live with, and that generous cargo space is super.
Enjoying the fact that a lot of automakers are now leaving engines without plastic out plastic covers.
For me, either the Toyota or Honda for better reliability. I'm OK with slower acceleration, if it's to increase MPG or reliability.
ric,.thanks, Sir. great review I'm considering on buying this Toyota Corolla cross L basic model 4 cilinder 2.liter 169 hp reliable good track record and safety features.and hopefuly should be good for Hwy driving. basic reliable low maintenance car.and it is the same engine as in the Corolla sedan 2021.thank again,take care,stay safe,good video 👍
supposedly Toyota said the 1.8L hybrid is too underpowered for this car.. so im expecting the 2.0L hybrid from the UX
Just bought one yesterday. I have to wait 4 months for delivery. I am worried about the CVT, I hope that it is reliable. Only time will tell.
Great little SUV and the price for AWD and the Toyota name. I am pleased :)
Get ready to say goodbye to the CHR....
Why? Ever look at how saturated kia and hyundai are with small suvs. Naw bro. It will stay
I like this Toyota Corolla Cross way more than the CHR. While I like the aesthetics of the Subaru Crosstrek the most by far, I think this will take the cake because it is more practical than the strange Honda HRV and more reliable than the value-oriented Hyundai Kona.
It won't drive the same as chr. Cross is torsion beam
Good video. I hope they come out with a system similar to the Prius Prime or the rav4 Prime
IM SO EXCITED, I want this car cause I had two vibes in the past and I have an 05 scion xa im so ecstatic to get this
That’s what I was thinking too-this is basically a modern version of a Vibe/Matrix. That was a great car.
I just took delivery on my 2022 XLE AWD Corolla Cross. I wanted something with safety features and with enough room for my golf clubs in the back. This car has every safety feature I believe in existence. the car looks and is much bigger than the corolla sedan. it looks like a RAV4 from the front and similar to many other sun's from the rear. Its 8.1 inch ground clearance gives it a bigger stance and a higher seating position. Handling is extremely good especially on curves and the noise level is much lower than expected. I work for a dealer, which cut out employee discounts due to ver few cars, so I paid full price, without some of the ridiculous add ons that some of them do. $30,050. Used RAV4 AWD are going for $40k so i opted for the Cross and am very glad I did. this car should sell very well, if they can get the chips to go in them. As soon as Toyota announces the hybrid Cross my name will be first on the list.
2:20 Noooo! We need more power than what's found on the Prius. Don't give Toyota the wrong idea!
Hallelujah a base price!!
Except for the front grill design that looks kinda lame and lazy, I like the exterior design much better than the current RAV4.
Excellent review as always. I'd replace my 2015 Camry will this over a Crosstrek and others. Be cool if they'd put the RAV4 Hybrid powertrain in it and call it the Corolla Cross SR or TRD.
This is the first review of this model that I’ve seen where the reviewer actually drove it. Much appreciated.
(I drove a Corolla wagon for 20 years. Loved it! But where I live I need something with higher ground clearance than a Corolla wagon/sedan/hatchback. Will definitely check this out when it becomes available.)
Fascinating, Many consider the Matrix to be a Corolla wagon, which model of Corolla wagon did you drive?
@@rightlanehog3151 I had a 1993 Corolla wagon DX. Bought it new in 1993.
@@dbsantanapr Too bad they wont sell us genuine Corolla wagons anymore. They are popular in Japan and Europe and sell well. I am in year 17 of my cloned Matrix (Pontiac Vibe) ownership experience. No complaints so far and it does offer plenty of headroom and the comfortably raised seating position we see in the new Cross. The new Cross will beat it by an inch or two on ground clearance but they neglected to offer the front folding passenger seat that makes the Matrix so adaptable for hauling longer objects.
I'll consider the hybrid model when it comes out.
Next year
Same
I want to see a more detailed breakdown on pricing and specs between the LE and XLE, but I think the LE AWD will be a good value. Hopefully, Toyota gets the build and price function up on their website so I can dig in a bit deeper.
Another excellent informative review!
Hey, the new version of the Matrix!!!!
Nah, that was a hatchback. This is another sleepy cute ute for people to feel sporty and active.
Mmmmmm . . . I like the rig, the numbers are coming out as I expected, the base AWD price is a bit lower than I'd guessed . . . but that CVT will be the determining factor, driving-wise and reliability wise. The CroCross still high on my list but I'll say that I'd be happier with a standard auto trany.
Thanx, Alex. Appreciate the early posting from the west coast.. Can't wait for the full video out of the Mountain Garden.
if you want regular auto get the mazda cx-30. Most of the competition in this price point is CVT unless you step up into more expensive turbo models
@@miraphycs7377 . . . or the Encore GX, or the DCT in the Seltos. I've driven the CX-30 and I was not impressed and that old 6A is part of the reason.
It's an ECVT with with planetary gears and physical first gear. They've already proven to be extremely reliable in typical Toyota fashion.
@@James-il3tq ECVT is only in the hybrids. The gas models get a traditional CVT with a fixed first gear.
Great video, I would go with the Toyota. Would be nice if they did a XSE version.
Hi Alex! Thanks for the review-- which is the better driver's car::: ve Taos fwd or this corolla cross? Thanks!
Excellent review. Waiting for this car to arrive in Australia.
Me too! Can’t come soon enough!
I love the video and always check the space part because I am also 6’1.
One thing that bother me is that i have a prius V 2014, i love it but i am looking for something high of the ground. So question :
For a price of under $25000 , will yall pick a 2022 corolla cross or a used rav 4 hybrid xle 2017-2019 ?
Does it come with computer chips? 😆 Nice preview Alex! 👍
Hey Young, Hip, and Urban!! Excellent overview! I'll personally wait for the hybrid version in the cypress green with the Two-tone interior. Is the slow-selling C-HR going to be canceled and replaced in the Toyota lineup by this CorCross??
Not immediately, but I'm betting it will after a year if the Corolla Cross is a hit, which it probably will be.
Us old people like these also! Simple, sporty, great for visiting the national parks ..😉✌🏽
I am a sedan driver and usually prefer sedans, but this might be the first crossover that I'd be fully interested in. Back when I bought my '17 Camry I also test drove a C-HR and wasn't impressed at all with it (performance/styling/etc) so if Toyota wants to introduce something that seems more like a Corolla in a crossover form then I'm in, especially with a hybrid. When they introduce the hybrid it'll probably be about the time I look for my next Toyota anyway.
N.America needs to bring back the Corolla wagon with manual transmission. (PLEASE & THANK YOU!!!!)
Excellent pricing especially at this time of ship shortage, at least they not making a entry level car for 40k
Nice work.
Ordering soon.
I would get the Corolla cross but I just got the Corolla hatchback last year!
Toyota is wise to stick with the Corolla formula. It's worked for them for decades. I personally find it a bit boring, but it obviously sells well. Hope they at least offer options for interior colors other than boring grey/black. And too bad they didn't design out that piece of the dash that protrudes into the door opening. It's a knee bash hazard. Wouldn't it be nice if Alex showed us the rear cargo area with the seats down so we could see how practical it would be as a cargo carrier? Is it flat, does the hatch shape and size allow loading of large items? Most buyers don't put people or roller bags in the rear of our cars, so we'd rather see what can fit in there from places like Home Depot, Ikea, etc. I'm sure journalists visit airports frequently and fill the rear with roller bags, but that's probably the exception.
Check out Tom Voelk. He shows a cream interior and the folded back seats. It is extremely NOT flat when folded-- huge bump up for the folded back seats.
No manual transmission option 😩
I know, I know, it is a wrong transmission for this specific car and virtually no demands as well.
@@alliejr Thanks. I'll do that.
I Love this channel!
Needs the birds eye view as an option too.
I'm seeing a rental fleet fav, and something to satisfy the suburban moms. Add a real transmission, and a stronger engine and this crossover would shine a bit. Have to admit though while stellantis fiddles other companies are putting out products that are intriguing. If toyota brings back an S model like the old corollas I will consider it.
I'm an absolute fan of Toyota. And I just love the fact that they are the leader of hybrid cars BUT they don't have any Hybrid Sport car, they stick with good recipes like we love. Toyota knows that Hybrids are good, but they don't want this in
their sport cars because it's killing the passion of a sport car. I just admire this brand
Alex has his shirt tucked out to jive with the young buyers of the corolla cross 😉
When Toyota introduced the Camry-based Sienna, they called it "the Camry of minivans" so it makes sense that this be called "the Corolla of Crossovers." Looks like a very good, lower priced alternative to the RAV4.
Very well done review.....
The hybrid version should get 40-45mpg and also be quicker 0-60. I might get that when it comes out.
Agreed.
Nice style and design and great replacement for our favorite 2003 Matrix. Waiting Hybrid version.
Waiting for the Hybrid is a good idea but it is a shame this new Matrix dropped the fold-forward front passenger seat that made the Matrix/Vibe so useful for carrying longer cargo.
That was my favorite feature of the Matrix I had. Why don't all cars do this.
@@janw7157 Yes, it was common in many vehicles in the early 2000s including my Matrix-with-a-fake-moustache Pontiac Vibe. As far as I know, only the Daewoo Buick Encore and Daewoo Chevy Trailblazer offer it now.
It's a step forward in so many ways, though it looks like Toyota took a step backwards by making a combined brake/turn signal, even though it looks like it has the provision for a separate amber turn signal (probably does in other markets). Maybe when they do a mid-cycle refresh, they'll go back to that style. At least the LEDs for the brake/turn signal are brighter than incandescent bulbs.
Great information!
Nice for 30k. This would definitely be my favorite new vehicle. But, I'd rather get a used Volvo V50 and pocket 25k. These are tough times. So that's what I did. I really think expensive new cars are a very American thing. In Europe, the Middle East and South America, people buy used cars. But with gas prices here, and the Illuminati's economic covid reset, it's a good time to buy used. My friend just paid 30k for an almost new RV which comes with a car, and a huge house on wheels.
If people are buying used, _someone_ has to be buying new. Those cars come from somewhere. Also, this is more like a $25k car, in typical trim. An absolutely loaded one might be close to $30k, but those will be rare.
Its so nice its just weird that THIS is a Corolla
Trying to decide if I should wait for the hybrid version or just get a SF90 now instead. Really torn between the two. Decisions, decisions.
what a tough choice of cars to cross shop between!
Perfect car for a student, running errands, long and short trips, uber and lyft… this car gonna sell like pancakes
Perfect car for senior drivers
I wonder if the sales of of this vehicle will be added to the Corolla sales. Like how the wagon and hatchback are.
If so sales gonna be boomin.
Interesting Toyota is trying to make the 2005 Rav4 they said no one liked. That's still selling for 7000.00 16 yrs later
Probably my next "transportation".
Too bad there's no base model manual option.
Right! Standard would be a nice option.
@@mojavedesertsonorandesert9531 yes, in my case as a car mechanic I just don't feel too trusty about CVTs yet with their FLAKY track record.
Not to mention my daily it's a manual too, so kind of an acquired taste by now.
But as I age and my joints (specially left knee) start to complain, the auto could be a blessing in disguise. 👌
As much as I like them, I’m resigned to the fact that manual transmissions are dead, except for a few specialty cars.
So many vehicles with all this black plastic wheel moldings, also along the bottom and front and rear bumpers. Looks OK on this Corola Cross but in a no go for me on the Mazda CX30 which has way to wide wheel moldings. Guess they save money doing this vs metal and paint which I prefer. I have a 2019 Highland and it looks good, but I do keep up with coating the plastic with UV protectant products. The CX5 looks a lot better than the CX30 but does cost more. I'm going to be helping my daughter with a car early next year and it will probably be a Corolla Cross LE or XLE or a base model Mazda CX5 which does come with a lot standard. I just caught that now all SUV/cross over Mazda's come standard with AWD. I guess to help steal sales from Subaru. My only concern Alex is this 2.0 motor enough power to deal with busy suburbia traffic??
I would definitely buy corolla cross in this segment
Yup. It's not a very impressive segment. The Kona is nice, but getting dated. The Kia Seltos is better, and may be the best current alternative. The lifted hatchback aspect puts me off the CrossTrek. It doesn't have the packaging advantages of a CUV, the main reason for getting one over a hatchback. We'll see whether the HR-V has been improved enough, as the old one had a feeble powertrain, weird styling, and a cheapish interior. It's only plus was the massive cargo space and clever rear seat. The Corolla Cross feels far more premium for similar money. The Kia Soul is homely and cheap-feeling, if well packaged, and the Venue is just plain cheap, without being cheap enough. The Nissan Kicks has questionable Nissan reliability, but looks like decent value as nobody would pay list for it. The Mazda CX-3 is old and cramped. The American brand options are all unimpressive.
This looks like the best mainstream subcompact UV (SCUV?). The Kia Seltos gets honorable mention, and maybe the Kona because it comes in so many variants.
@@markmiller3279 I agree plus this toyota looks more substantial and has a normal shape that will age much better than other counterparts. Also I will trust Toyota reliability much more than the others…
My next and last car and I'll buy the base model . Perfect !
Can you please do a video on the available options packages that are/will be available?
The hybrid is going to be the version to get for sure. If Toyota bumps the horsepower to 185 with at least a 5 mpg improvement in the hybrid then this thing is going to fly off the dealer lots.
This should have been a hybrid only model from its inception, like the Venza and Sienna are.
It will get a lot more than a 5 mpg bump. If it's in line with other Toyota hybrids expect more like 40 mpg.
@@markmiller3279 I am hoping for that but then I thought about what Toyota would probably do if this got better mpg than a Rav4 Hybrid or Venza. But I'm sure you are correct, it's logical. I guess Toyota would give the Corolla Cross better mpg at a huge expense to performance.
Either way, I'm sure I'll be seeing this vehicle everywhere, especially the hybrid version.
Agteed
this is Aug 2022... Im in SoCal, there is exactly 2 of these available for sale at theToyota dealerships. Put your money down, and wait 4-6 months, and you take what they give you, whatever color or options they give you... Kinda like Russia...
Toyota's redesigned interiors already look outdated. The infotainment tech needs a major upgrade and the screen resolution needs to be increased.
The resolution only needs to be increased if you keep staring at it like this 😳 while driving 😆
I'm cross-shopping this vehicle with the Kia Seltos and the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. They all have their pros/cons. The Toyota is the most powerful. The Kia is the most efficient. The Toyota will likely be the most reliable, but it also has the shortest warranty by a huge margin. The Toyota has better resale value, but the Kia and Mitsubishi can typically be bought for a lot less money with bigger manufacturer rebates. Tough decision.
Hey Alex do you know what mph before the transmission switch over to cvt
Is the CVT a chain belt drive like Subaru or gear driven like the Prius?
I think an Apex model would look pretty snazzy
L trim looks the best for my bucks
Hybrid version = the return of the Prius V
The back seat room looks a bit small to accommodate rear facing car seats without impairing front seat comfort. That’s the beauty of the HRV and the Fit because they seem to be the only cars where you can still sit in the front seats with rear facing seats installed, as long as you are 6 feet or shorter.
You are correct.
Too bad the Fit is discontinued in the US. I really wanted the newer Fit offered overseas.
@@thundergato84 North American offer tells you to acquire a big useless pick-up
@@cabaneencac5168 😔
That's correct.
This interior is gorgeous. I wouldn't expect this much luxury from a car under $40K.
Alex, please slow down. I like the longer videos and you being able to take a breath😀
Nah, it's annoying and a waste of time when people talk slow. This video he's quick to the point and gives us the information needed
And then we'll probably have a Camry Cross and who knows, maybe Toyota will revive the Avalon and make it a "Cross"smh. Seriously, how many of the same SUVs do we need. Cars are just continuing to get more boring and uninteresting with people obsessed with these tiny clunkers especially Equinox's.
They’re following in Ford’s idiotic path… Mustang Mach-E anyone? That EV has zero to do with the Mustang just like this has zero to do with a Corolla. Lazy marketing…
Won't happen. The Highlander has always been the "Camry/Avalon Cross" since it came out in 2001. And technically, the Matrix, or first two(or three) generations of the RAV4 could be predecessors to this, depending on how you want to look at it.
If Toyota would give it the 2.5L hybrid out of the RAV4 this car would be a boss. However, that is not going to happen.
Alex, You expect the 1.8 Hybrid system and I predict the 2.0 Hybrid system currently seen in the UX. The 219 hp 2.5 AWD Hybrid system would be perfect but it seems like a pipe dream.
And Alex, we are counting the days until your Corolla Cross vs Lexus UX comparison video. ;-)
i think it’s definitely the 1.8 hybrid system that currently exists in corolla crosses in the Asian market
Can you do a comparison between the Corolla cross and the Honda HRV?
We’ll see if the Corolla Cross Hybrid is good enough to shorten the RAV4 Prime waitlist 🤣🤣
6:47 interesting music choice.
Solid Review
