2022 Toyota Corolla Cross Technical Review | Everything you need to know
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 พ.ค. 2024
- A Toyota Master Diagnostic Technician walks through the major components and design that makes the 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross in this full behind the scenes technical tour.
We finally break ground on 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross on the channel! This is not a full review of the car from living with the car day to day. But rather this is a full technical review of the powertrain, suspension, steering and brakes of the Corolla Cross.
Once you watch you video you will realize that the Corolla Cross is not actually a new model which is a good thing. It's a very functional crossover that have components that have been tested and out for a number of years and is proven to be reliable.
This is one model that likely will have very minimal issues and based on actual real world data from experience from models that share the same powertrain, reliability even initially should be very high.
Initial impressions of the Corolla Cross are very positive. I really like that it's understated and not too much. It serves the purpose it was made for very well. Seems well equipped yet simple to operate for day to day use.
A follow up review will come in the future once I have a chance to get a Corolla Cross to drive for a week to see how it is to live with day to day.
Special thanks to Bredemann Toyota in Park Ridge, IL for allowing me to film in their facility and use one of their cars.

Im watching this out of order. But I’m really going to push this for my wife and daughter.
I appreciate for your excellent review.
At the Toyota dealership yesterday January 21, 2023 they want a Market Adjustment of $2,000 on top of MSRP. No thanks Toyota.
Why don't you just say the head has a shitload of "port bias" on the intake side...
One year owner now, bought the XLE AWD, glad I bought this vehicle over all the competitors, great for around town, camping, back desert roads, "no recalls!" Just a solid dependable,simple well made SUV.
"no recalls" meaning your corolla cross does not have the start/Stop or the faulty passenger airbag issue?
@@clavarojwtI believe there is a recall, but it is a simple quick fix from what I've heard.
I have had it since June of 22
No stop/start issue and yes I have the air bag issue but they have to check my air bag first to be sure. (They bought the spare part, relatively early tho, They know they gotta replace it)
I’m sold! I love it when they don’t put too much new stuff into things. I just want a well tested and reliable product. Point A to B, safely, comfortably, and not too expensive!
The salesman's main job is to conceal the reason you shouldn't buy the product. I like this refreshingly down to earth engineering overview. With your honesty and integrity AMD, I don't think you would make a salesman. This is meant as a compliment by the way. Thank you for this product insight and Happy 2022 to you Sir.
Are there equivalent car care nuts for Ford, GM, Honda, etc? I think he's a great salesman in the sense I only think about buying Toyotas now, but surely there are reasons to look at other brands.
I think he would be a terrible salesman up until he got a reputation of being honest. Then he would be the best.
The CVT transmission, how difficult would a drain and refill be?
The salseman main job is not to conceal shit you clearly don't know what are you talking about
@@roverops he said conceal the reason to not buy the vehicle. Not conceal things about the car. Way too many people buy expensive vehicles with money they don’t have to impress others. And yes they conceal stuff. Most salesmen are sleazy hence are the extended warranties, window etching and 4 square method.
THANK YOU FOR SOUND DEMONSTRATION! Numerous people have mentioned that direct injection is louder than port injection. I have heard the sound change you showed, but I did not realize that was from switching between injectors. That was fascinating to hear. Also I love it when you point to a part and identify it. Thanks for teaching us students.
You really hit the nail on the head with this review. No salesman could ever explain this. May you and the family have a very prosperous New Year. 🥳
If they don't give sales staff the training, they certainly cannot expect them to explain things as well as they should.
This comment is VERY important to know for current Corolla Cross owners!
Apparently, there is an ongoing issue with the Corolla Cross's Auto Start/Stop feature. But it only happens when the wipers are in intermittent mode. Basically, you came to a full stop and the car shuts off to save fuel (and your wipers are on in the rain). Once you take your foot of the brake, the engine will not start up again and the gauge screen will have a warning that says: "Steering Power Low, Press Brake Firmly to Restart". In order to fix this, put it in Park, then shut off the car and turn it back on again. Then you can drive away safely. There have been at least a couple dozen people who have faced this once, and some more than a few times. Some Toyota dealers are saying it is a software issue, but there hasn't been a recall for this yet. It's an interesting problem that I wasn't expecting, but Toyota needs to act on this fast, before any people get hurt. In the mean time, if you drive a Corolla Cross, disable the Auto Start/Stop feature or don't use your wipers at the same time the engine is off at a stop light. I'm sure this problem does not occur for every Corolla Cross, but the chances of it happening are increased if the above conditions are met.
I'm thinking that issue you describe might only apply to US manufactured Crosses? I have a 23 petrol /gas Cross down here in Australia and haven't heard of this issue. As far as I know the one's we get are TMC Japan manufacture and don't have the stop start feature. No recalls so far. Very happy with mine. Only downside is the 650KG max towing weight.
Just got an LE for my better half. She loves it. Great review (I’m a trucker ) mechanically inclined and agreed with everything you said.
Always appreciate the simplified yet thorough technical reviews; and your honesty makes them even more useful and stops them from being Toyota infomercials; kudos!
I love this added dimension to a new car review. We typically don't get the nuts and bolts explanation to how everything works together and your review is very much appreciated. The Cross looks to be the perfect entry level vehicle for a starter family or someone that needs a high quality/reliable vehicle which won't break the bank. Toyota hit a homerun to offer such an important vehicle to fill a particular niche in their lineup.
Happy New Year brother. 2021 has been such an awesome ride together with you and I know that 2022 will be even better yet. BTW, Congratulaions on surpassing 200k subscribers. God Bless you and the Mrs. for putting together such an important channel that car enthusiasts can get really great info that's insightful, honest and easily understood.
The Corolla Cross may just turn into one its biggest selling vehicles.It fills a niche no one has.
@@MultiMusicbuff in South Africa this Corolla is the top selling at the moment
@@MultiMusicbuff 😊
You said it best, “perfect family starter vehicle” and this is what I intend to buy for my family of 3!
What a great review! And such a refreshing change from the "list the specs" reviews most people do. Really appreciate your channel, I just bought a used Rav4 2009 V6 (replacing a 2000 Corolla that gave me 15 years of no major problems), and your other videos were a huge help to know what to watch out for with the older Rav4 generations. Thanks for what you do!
Thank you so much ! You do such a great job of the mechanical reviews ! Everyone in the world who’s a Toyota fan should watch you! I sent your video to all my friends who are in the market for a new car! And yes the back taillights do look like a Toyota Sienna first gen!!
Oh my, he explained everything of this 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross crystal clear!
Happy new year Toyota Master Diagnostic Technician!
Nice car 👍
Agree!
i to agree most reliable car ever built ever
You get a lot of negative reviews on the Cross, slow, loud, but you know what? This vehicle if taken care of will outlast all its competitors!
CVT, no thanks
CVT belts wrap after ~100K miles.... so no, it can Not last long...
Buy a RAV4 LE instead...
@@oskarngo9138taking good care of it means replacing the belt
What's up with Toyota fanboys being overly fixated on making bold claims about how they can drive the car for 20 years. Are all Toyota fanboys poor? Why do you want to drive a barebone, underpowered, underequipped vehicle that is "outdated" the moment they release for another 20 years?
Toyota CVT shall not be compared to any other cvt. Top tier product
Perfect TH-cam channel. When or if you get into fixing complex or common issues you'll go up another level. Great content. Thank you.
This guy is great! He'll let you know a lot bout Toyotas.
That was a really good review, I especially like that you pointed out the differences in the rear suspension setup, and kept showing that this is really a repackaged Corolla hatchback (which is a great thing, for reliability). Also, love the subtle RAV4 V6 nod, which was a hidden gem when it was introduced.
Three cheers for the V6 RAV4!!!
Perfectly timed video as I just learned about this car.
Sounds like a modern Corolla All-Trac Wagon from the 90's. We owned 2 and loved them.
You mentioned that you didn’t have time to drive the vehicle etc…please keep doing what your doing and lean towards the technical side of vehicles. Your #1 for this and it’s what makes your channel awesome. There’s plenty of people out there that want to tell me how it drives haha. Great great job!
Super helpful review! I appreciate you taking the time to go over this sort of stuff.
Best car review! My family and friends love being able to see more inside the car and under the hood and covers. Thank you!
This was a very thorough and awesome review. Definitely subscribed! I liked how you were both positive about the car and excited but also spoke about the things it could possibly improve or certain letdowns that you had
Such a great and informative video. I love how you lifted the car up and explained what's going on underneath. Thank you sir. You would make a great automotive teacher 🥰
Wishing you great year!
You did fantastic job explaining about decent corolla cross. I really like your reviews.
Corolla is TANK car.
I have 1999 with 279000km and its still running like new . Even -40 degrees it performs great. I love it. Nice to see Corolla cross simple and functional.
Thank you and appreciates your input
It's a bulletproof 🤣. I have a 2001 with over 303000km. Still running as smooth as day 1. Everything is still functioning including AC. I'm waiting for my 2022 corolla Cross to deliver, probably some time next month 😀.
Thank you for another great video again. Your videos must be among the very best car channels on TH-cam. 🇫🇮
Thank you for doing this review !! I have been waiting for this one !! I feel alot better about this car after seeing whats under the hood and how things work !!
From a mechanical engineer and crazy car guy, that was one of the best videos I've ever seen. Straight to the point and very informative. You have earned a subscriber
That's a nice looking rig. Corolla always been a great reliable car. We bought one brand new in 1996. Phenomenal reliability. Didn't take getting rear ended a few years later very well though Lol.
What a fantastic review. Thorough, detailed and well done. I really appreciate your hard work and putting this together. The information presented and the way you present it is excellent. Thank you.
I'm a practical, cash paying kind of guy.
Love it.
My tired 2003 Highlander just found a stable mate.
Thank you.
Excellent content as always AMD. Happy New Year, looking forward to many more videos this year!
Awesome man! I just bought my Corolla Cross 2 weeks ago and have already put in 1050 miles on it! I love it
Congratulations.Does it have enough legroom in the rear?
Congrats! How would you say the back seat legroom is? How’s it drive? Noise too high?
Thank you guys It! It drives like a dream, just like a normal sedan but you can certainly feel the weight difference but that's given. If you have ever driven the newer corollas, it will feel very similar. The car is relatively quiet atleast to me..(I have a modified WRX and FRS), and the only time it gets loud is when its trying to merge on a freeway. As for leg room, I am 5'5 and it is plenty of space for me in the back. With how I sit in the front driver side, I still have relatively alot of leg room in the back . If you're around my height you'll have no problem.
Nice;) wat model did u get? Color, Ext. & Int.? Jus wondering. Lol... anyhow i have not seen one & im in LA. Lol..
@@robertogarciajr.8618 Windchill Pearl, with Light Gray interior. AWD LE and I reside in LA County! I have not seen one driving around besides myself but I know they're out there lol.
Dear AMD, I truly love you're video's. You are very honest, & straight forward. I was a Toyota tech for several years & I can really appreciate the technical reviews you provide as a master tech. My girlfriend was shopping for a new car for almost 1 year, & watching your video of the Corolla Cross really helped us decide to order one. She's a nurse and really needs a good reliable AWD car. Thank you for sharing you're skills & talent with us. God Bless & be well.
Great abbreviated review... can't wait for the full one! Thanks for sharing!
Just rented one for almost a month. It is more nosier than I desire but I love it! It is small enough to hit the road daily and transport items like a small truck. It isn’t small on inside but fits me perfectly. If I had the extra cash then I would get it today. At 3.17 gas it filled up less than 40 bucks. Worth the purchase for a daily work car
How are headlights at night?
The car isnt noisy. It's the roads.. when you hear the freshly paved road, it's quiet. No matter what car you're in, then you hit the s***** 15-year-old road then it gets loud
Great review Sir! Thank you for your dedication and splendid work. Have a great 2022! Greetings from Belgium, Europe.
This video does more to explain the differences in the new model than any other. Well worth the watch and much more information that the typical vanilla "driving impression" done by most.
We purchased a FWD XLE model in November for my wife and have loved it. This is our first CVT vehicle and even though it has “Direct Shift”, the driving dynamics still takes some getting used to (for me at least). But this Corolla Cross fits the “practicality” bill for all of the reasons AMD points out. Although it adds a lot to the cost, I do suggest the Audio Plus W/ JBL and Convenience package (moonroof and power rear liftgate) if in your budget. You will be surprised how sharp it looks in person too, as videos and pictures don’t do it justice! Glad to get AMD’s initial “blessing” 😊
XLE only comes in AWD in US / CANADA..how did you purchase XLE FWD ?? Which country ?
@@burjis24 USA Market has a fwd xle and awd xle
@@burjis24 Yup, as @Manny Cali says, USA has the FWD for the XLE. Another difference I believe with the Canadian market is that they get the heated steering wheel along the heated seats, whereas ours only has the heated seats. It may also be available for more northern states, but we defiantly don’t need it down here in Georgia as much as others do…
I test drove a model without the convenience package and audio plus. The extra system definitely helps, my GFs RAV4 doesn’t have any audio plus and she has to have her volume up pretty high and its not quite as crisp. Love my cross, wouldn’t want another car, only thing I might trade it in for would be a hybrid version with a little more power. A boost in power and quickness plus amazing gas mileage would be a dream. Otherwise car is the perfect size and I love the cypress green the most
@@callmej3671 actually the weather package comes with heated seats and heated steering wheel. The adventure model comes with heating and cooling seats here in the USA
Great review! I wish there are more materials, for consumers, on the Direct Injection system. A lot of auto manufacture, whether it's Ford or Toyota, Lexus or BMW, have deploy Direct Injection systems in their newer generation of engines and the #1 complaint I have heard is the loud ticking noise. I've seen clients come in and complain. I have seen service advisor walk them to a same model vehicle on the lot or to a same model loaner vehicle just to tell them that they all have the loud ticking noise.
You are the best walking, talking, explaining Toyota care care nutcase on planet Earth
Thank you for this very informative video. We ordered a Toyota Cross in Jan. and finally getting in on Wednesday. Your video help us in knowing we made the right decision.
Good review sir. I changed the oil in my new camry hybrid after watching your channel at 1,000 miles. I did see a few particles drain out of filter from the manufacturer processes. I probably wouldn't have changed it at 1,000 miles. Thankyou for the car care tips brother. Happy New Year 👍
I have been waiting to buy a new car and based on my current 2008 Corolla with close to a Million miles (No Exaggeration at all) i MUST get another Toyota product preferably a Corolla but need some more room and this is perfect for me. The walk under is the cherry on top, great video, ive seen a lot of "reviews" none of which did what you did, Thank You.
"This is a car with a function, and it does that function very very well" Sounds like a Corolla to me.
I hope you release a TH-cam video when your 2008 Corolla hits a million miles. There are already a number of videos about million mile Tundras and Tacomas but I have not seen one for the Corolla. Was your car made in California or Canada?
Will this corrolla with a CVT get 300k+ if taken care I really have doubts
Wow, what an excellent review. I love your style and honesty. Your character shines. Thank you sir. I will look for your channel when researching cars in the future.
I love your reviews. I learn a lot through them.
I've had Tercel 4wd and Corolla Alltracs before and they have been supremely reliable and similar to the Corolla Cross they are budget 4wd wagons that use many parts from the existing Toyota range. Great for parts and servicing!
First off, love your videos and appreciate the technical analysis of each car. Would you recommend waiting to buy a hybrid version if it comes out next year?
One of the best car reviewers I've ever seen, wow!
If dealers trained salesmen to sell by explaining the car as you do, I predict they would sell more cars. You are SO good with Toyotas!
Yo Nut, i remember when you had 20k subs. So excited that you have over 200k now. Would love if you took a look at older models, like the infamous 2007 Tacoma.
Thanks for another honest and informative review. The Toyota Corolla is famed for being one of the most reliable cars on the market, and now it comes taller, roomier, and with AWD. A starting MSRP of 22K makes Corolla Cross a good buy. You mentioned the AWD uses the same setup, mounting, differential, and transfer case as the Camry and Avalon because of the new TNGA platform; even the suspension is similar. Clearly both a production advantage and consumer benefit.
mrsp of 22k... on the dealer lot more like 28k.. can't even buy one anyways
Anyone looking at this should do themselves a favor and look at a hybrid Maverick. The base model is $20k with a hybrid powertrain standard 0-60 in 7.6 seconds compared to this slow 10 second model. The Maverick is 2' longer and is way more practical than the the cross. The Maverick hybrid system is very similar to a Prius and gets 43 mpg city. Why this vehicle along with the hrv and ch r exists is a mystery. Overpriced and not very practical. Ford flipped the script and made the hybrid standard. You would have thought Toyota would have been the first to do that. I guess they figure Toyota loyalists will always pay more for something even if another mfg makes it the standard base option. I'm sure the hybrid version of this model will add $3k to the price tag.
Thank you for sharing this content and technical tour about 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross. Amazing!!!
One of the best car (suv) reviews I have seen, tank you.😊
I am very impressed with this presentation and explanation of the 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross. There is no sales person who has the knowledge, patience or desire to explain things in such detail. Informed consumers are more likely to make a purchase, and given the Toyota Corolla reputation for durability and reliability, it would not be a hard decision to buy this model. I am probably going to look at a new vehicle in a couple of years, and all I need is an evaluation of the interior layout and noise levels at highway speed. Smaller cars tend to economize on sound insulation, but if car makers are smart, they would add sound insulation to give a smoother ride. There is nothing wrong with adopting existing technology, because that tech is proven and works.
this car is noisy in highways especially with engine revving
Like everything about this car excellent review and very good car. Thank you Toyota for still making reliable gasoline powered cars that last many many years.
The AWD I have been looking for! Thank you 🙏🏻!
Great overview of this car. Love this channel!
Great review AMD! To round out the review, it would be nice to know the price (MSRP) of the vehicle to help viewers decide whether to buy it. Keep up the good work.
Really like your mechanical presentation, unlike a regular car salesman. This is very refreshing.
Amazing car channel. May you prosper for a long time thank you.
Great overview! Looking forward to the review in the future.
❤❤
Nice car! It's right in between the Corolla and the RAV4
Well it is between CHR and RAV4 nor Corolla and RAV4
I bought it in december 10 the same model le and its amazing perfetc size suv. Its powerfull enought to change lines easy in freeway. Do that job very well its not underpower, if you want a racing suv buy a bmw or benz for $80k to $100k lol. Its confortable, its roomy back seat, the cargo area are huge and and the average mpg in 25 miles trip its 43 to 45 👌🏼. Im very happy with my new Corolla Cross 🔥👍🏼.
Thanks for always very informative vids. Happy new year !!
Exactly my thought. If you want Lexus quiet, get a $40K Lexus. If you want acceleration, get a $60K Tesla. If you want a nice BMW or Mercedes badge, get the X1 or GLA. This Cross is a nice tool to get you from pint a to b reliably without breaking the bank.
Happy new Year to you and your Family, May you have blessings throughout the Year. You have taught me so much as I am a Toyota nut as well but have learnt things I wasn't too familiar with so thanks for that and I look forward to this New Year learning more from you.
Aussie chrisso 👌
Great detailed info, I would love to see technical reviews on all new Toyotas going forward if possible.
I remember the wifes 2009 RAV4 V6 had a leak in it's rear differential not too long after buying it. It was of course fixed under warranty and we have never had a problem with it again. We still have the car, quality vehicle without a doubt. Really no problems since that.
You are living the V6 RAV4 dream. I don't know why they stopped making them as it seems to me an AWD CUV with raised suspension needs a V6 more than a FWD Camry.
@@rightlanehog3151 I agree it's a great combo but now, as it will become my 16 year olds car, kinda wish it was the 4 cylinder. A lot of power for a 16 year old!
@@MrGomjabber Remembering myself as a 16 year old driving our Plymouth Duster with a 95 hp Slant Six engine, I would say a 269 hp RAV4 is way, WAY too powerful for a 16 year old. Let the wise parent drive the RAV4 and get the teen a nice, slow, second hand 4 cylinder Corolla or Yaris.
Thank you for the review of this new vehicle. It is encouraging to see Toyota sticking to reliable designs and didn't change what works well. The launch gear on the CVT and using both port and direct injection means this car will last a long time with basic maintenance. I could seriously consider this car when it is available.

This type of review of a vehicle , should be on any manufacturers webpage. First thing I look for in vehicle is engine specs and transmission...Want to know fuel system type, trans, I mean. details like this man does. Most sales folks have no idea on specs, minimal, they dont care. Just want sell a vehicle. I'm impressed with this guy, job well done. I been reading up on the Cross, several reviews, youtube, but info like this wasn't mentioned. Many people just buy a vehicle on way it looks, how roomy it is, but have no clue on the specs. I've asked people, what size engine is it, they say, No idea. Spend $30k on a car and no idea of the mechanics.
Wow, awesome! Toyota has become my favorite brand vehicle from I was age 28 and I am now age 44. I owned Toyota vehicles before and I now own a 2012 Toyota Corolla. I bought from the previous owner who wasn't caring for it very well so I am doing some work on it. I am hoping that by the help of God I will be able to own one of the Corolla Cross. Thanks AMD.
I can't wait for the Corolla cross hybrids coming in Sir 👍 thank you for the information
GREAT review! Thanks for not going on about the soft touch dashboard, map pockets and size of the cup holders. Like any of that really matters!
@@broseph7-7-06 No, I actually mean the way some other reviewers go on about banal things like the softness of a dashboard and can talk about it for 10 minutes! Who cares about that cr@p?
I have a 22 Toyota Cross XLE AWD and I love it. It’s the biggest and most comfortable small car I have ever owned.
Happy new years to you and thx for the review I will probably buy one in a few years.
Thanks even this mini review helped me decide this is the model I want to go with! Love Toyota!
Already placed an order for top trim xle corolla cross. Waiting for another 4 weeks for it to arrive. Thanks @carcarenut for this video.
Wow what a great detailed comprehensive review. I recently discovered the cross after realizing the RAV4 has gotten so big since when I owned the O5 model.
I was able to sit in the cross and it was a much better fit. I wasn’t able to test drive it because it had just come into the dealer and was already spoken for.
I’m hoping to test drive one as In concerned about the noise. In fact I found the newer(2019) I test drove RAV4 noisier than I recall my O5. I’m also iffy about the softex fake leather in the XLE. Any thoughts ?
Finally, the review of the Corolla Cross I am waiting for. I am now sold on this Corolla Cross. will fit between the Highlander and my old Corolla sedan.
Very good description of the new car.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Thanks for the explanation of the AWD system. It's not a Hellcat for sure, but most of us need reliable and functional transportation, that will not let us down.
I agree but it would be more functional if it had the fold-forward front passenger seat the Matrix used to offer. I don't think you can easily carry 8 foot ladders or 2X4s in the new Cross.
As a loyal Toyota owner, I really appreciate your videos. It’s fascinating to learn more about these cars and how to maintain.
Happy new year this is awesome doing a video at Toyota garage !!
I really liked to hear about the mechanical aspects. No bells or whistles. Looks nice
I actually owned this engine/ transmission configuration in my 2020 Corolla SE. I owned it for a year and sold it. There was often a really hard abnormal shift when coming out of launch/1st gear into the CVT. You'd agree if you owned it for a year. Also, equally annoying was it would redline on simple acceleration typically around 35 mph when giving it just moderate acceleration. If you research and look on the forums for this you will find other people complained also.
For me it just created a negative driving experience that was very unsatisfactory so she had to go.
Thanks for The video and happy New!
The first gear is a regular gear and then shift to cvt transmission, that would explain the harder shift....
well what did the dealership say about it?
@@ericchen776 , it didn't do it Everytime so when they tested it they never noticed it. It was a very odd thing when it did it and the fact that it was random concerned me. I guess we'll find out in the long run
@Nombre Apellido Pirelli tires with corolla 2004 are the best combination. My corolla 2006 was perfect in snow and rain with Pirelli tire more than Michelin
@Nombre Apellido that's the only tire I would purchase when I had a 2010 Corolla S
Thanks AMD for this new review. May you and your family have a Happy New Year.
Awesome!! I have this vehicle and love it. Ready to hear all the technical details about it to learn more. I watched a lot of your Toyota videos to make sure I make the right choice. Thanks for taking the time to give your review of this vehicle.

You can't yet get one in my area. The local Toyota dealers don't have any new cars.

Thank you so much for this video! I'm looking forward to your next thorough review of this model, when you get the opportunity. I'm personally waiting for the hybrid model, so please do that one when it becomes available, ok?

@@stamperman1 Expect the 2.0 already used in the Lexus UX.
Highly informative, I learned a ton. While other reviewers of the Cross complain about engine noise, you explained (and demo'd) the combo port injection and direct injection, with the noise impact of the latter. I had no idea this dual fuel injection system even existed anywhere. Also loved the electronic AWD diff engagement description at the back of the car. Now if you could only stop saying "simple" and "old school" over and over again until it reaches the level of water torture.....
Customers complain about engine noise as there is no noise insulation!
Since I love Toyotas I really dig your channel. I like how you go thu it in details.
True down to earth simplicity that does all what needed as a great modern transportation.
AMD, I’m wondering your thoughts on the transmission cooler/warmer- I’ve read that engine coolant’s operating temp is higher than transmission fluid’s, this would lead me to believe that the warmer would be effective in cold weather but may be unable to cool the fluid once the car was warmed up. Is this accurate?
Looking forward to the hybrid/and or electrified version, if ever! Ready to switch to more efficient non-polluting Corolla! Thank you for the insight & mini review👍
The hybrid version is already being sold in the Asian market. I have one.
Thank you so much AMD! Happy and healthy New Year to you and yours!
Thank you for all your knowledge of these vehicle, its comforting.
The best analysis of the corollar cross model.
U truly is the Master Toyota Technician.
Happy New Year
God Bless U.
I love it!! No engine cover?? With gas prices expected to hit $4 a gallon soon, Toyota should have a very successful year for sales!!
Yes. Domestic Full size Pickups and SUVs will be a dime a dozen. Many of their owners will go bankrupt. Toyota body on frame SUV and truck buyers tend to skew wealthier so they will probably be ok. Toyota sells a lot of fuel efficient cars and SUVs and has more access to semiconductors so they will probably gain a lot of market share.
Its almost $5 here in cali
@@boywrenz1057 Consider yourselves lucky, still. The 5$ tag is per gallon, right? In Europe, you will pay 2$ for a liter of gasoline. That would make an equivalent of around 8$ per gallon. We have 3-4 times lower monthly incomes, and an average car is 20-30% cheaper in the States in comparison to Europe (with much better starting equipment and engine power in the States, than the European version).
Happy New Year !!! , I love your channel , so much good info , and I like it , Toyota does it again 👍👍 ❤
This review was amazing, thank you very much!
No offense to Scotty but most of his videos are all about screaming! This guy on the other hand is purely epic! He well explains how things are put together in a scientific and well composed way! So many thanks to you sir.
SCOTTY = CLICK BAIT
Scotty who?
Have to give Scotty respect. He pioneered this type of tube content and introduced countless non automotive people to atleast the basics. I mean you don't have what 10million or so followers with garbage content. I love this channel cause I own Toyotas and plan to buy more in the future so makes sense to follow someone who dives deep into Toyotas. Scotty has to satisfy every car guy/girls and alot of non car people. Both do great at what there target audience is wanting.
Very glad to see this! Was interested in buying a base awd model but there is no rear wiper on that model...then you go up to LE and the price is too close to rav4....What is your opinion on the lack of a rear wiper on a hatchback? Visibility in wintertime or rain would be awful and i think toyota should not do such gm move, wiper are not luxury after all!
I wish they would consider adding the wiper to all trims as I think it’s needed on that body style
@@TheCarCareNut Thanks! No review of that car mention this fact so i put my comment in in hope that they would do it! I really enjoy your channel!
I would want the base model because it does not have push-button start. I would like the i6MT from the SE Corolla, but it looks like that's not going to happen.
Great video AMD. Nice car, it will sell well. Happy New Year to you and the family!
Thanks AMD, I've been waiting for this for Corolla Cross
