The 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross Is A Value Packed AWD Corolla Cross-TREK

- The @toyotausa #Corolla is the best-selling nameplate globally. With over 50 million units sold around the world, there's a good chance you owned one or knew someone who drove a Corolla. For 2022, the family expands with the AWD #ToyotaCorollaCross. Unlike the C-HR, the #CorollaCross has a more traditional SUV shape which gives it more space on the inside. #Toyota says the Cross is a direct rival to the Subaru Crosstrek and at a starting price of just over $22,000, it should become one of the best-selling vehicles in the segment.

Good morning everyone! Toyota is clearly going to sell a ton of these. Anyone looking at a Corolla will see this at the dealership for not much more money. It reminds us a lot of the first generation XV Crosstrek nearly 10 years ago. More space, capability, and a higher seating position over the Corolla hatch. No word on when the Hybrid will arrive, but when it does, it should be the same powertrain from the UX 250h.
That hybrid would be much faster and refined than this
This car is just affordable normal suv. She is good for new/young family.
Of they put that UX 250 hybrid in there, I'm in, 181hp and it's subsequent fuel efficiency would be a winner for me.
I'm surprised that the Corolla sedan has 3 inches more rear legroom (35 inches vs 32 inches), superior independent rear suspension in FWD compared to torsion beam suspension in Corolla Cross FWD, is noticeably faster because it's 300 pounds lighter, and is cheaper. I choose the sedan over this Corolla cross.
@@braetonwilson4296 well that doesn't really mean it's more comfortable, when your in a crossover/suv, your feet are more stretched out because your higher off the ground vs a sedan where your legs are more upward. So corolla in theory does have more legroom but doesn't necessarily mean it's more comfortable
I don't understand the "slow" critique, these suvs are clearly geared towards practicality, not race car drivers.
There are slower and less slow cars in every segment. Would be absurd for it not to be part of a review especially for people who don't test drive a lot of cars and might assume every sub compact SUV is this slow. I've never owned anything remotely sporty but I feel like anything that takes 10 seconds 0-60 tends to feel inadequate for 2 lane road passing etc in a way that most turbo charged vehicles don't.
@@chrisransdell8110 When the turbo wears out they will take 20 seconds or more to get to 60.
@@user-tb7rn1il3q Yes and in 1985.turbos wearing out was common. It isn’t so common today.
We need 400hp
It's about a second slower than the Prius so it does sort of beg the question of why the nonhybrid drivetrain even exists for this car.
I will never understand the desire to have soft touch upper dashes in any car and criticism of those that have plastic. Am I lying down on that? Am I EVER touching that? It's ripe for long term deterioration due to sun exposure. Also for the lower door panels...going to be kicked and need to be cleaned. And yet, reviewers always comment on it.
Dashes were going hard plastic in the 90s and those still look great. Too bad they reverted to 50s style padded dash. They won’t last. With air bags, definitely unnecessary
I mean we have a 2013 challenger with a soft dash.
Not a single sign of wear.
@@davevolz6138 my older Lexus has soft touch and has absolutely no damage to it. It might simply be better for longevity and presentation.
Some people put their bare feet on the dash (not me)
@@XXtheJUMPoffXX
I'll kick a person out my car for that lol
Honestly...the only guy I come to for vehicle reviews. Thank you for another great and information review.
So true. I watch others for entertainment. But Sofyan gets the final word lol
No Raiti’s Rides or Savage Geese? What about Alex on Autos or Throttle House? There are some good ones out there. I did start with Redline, but gradually branched to some others.
@@universalenergy2311 i like Raiti but he doesn't really get in depth with his reviews like Sofyan. i
100%. Not putting on a show. Great, clear, excellent information.
People who say “Honestly” are the same people who say “Literally”
Man...I'd get the hybrid just to have AC when the engine is off.
Good way to slowly kill your battery life over time
@@kermit1 keeping the battery cool extends the life more than the tiny bit of discharge the compressor causes.
Always great reviews. You're our favorite!
You do a great review. Thanks.
Great Review as Always, thank you , ...... Definitely, if you want a automobile the just works and affordable to maintain its a Toyota Corolla! ( my family had 3 Corolla(s) and all of them ran past 200,000 miles with basic oil / fluid changes and recommended maintenance ) (Engineered for long term reliability & simplicity )
I definitely wait until year to see if Toyota offers the Hybrid powertrain, as sold in other parts of the word
It's already confirmed
I drive a 2000 Toyota Corolla CE and love the car. I will get a Cross just for the ALL WHEEL DRIVE! Plus the back seats fold down so I can put my Snowboard inside the car!
Nice review!!
At 6’4 I wasn’t comfortable in the current gen Corolla which was surprising considering I was comfortable in the previous gen. After renting out the kicks for a few days, it was zippy, more comfortable than the Corolla and great on gas. Going up the hills you’re right the cvt drags.
kicks? that's nissan, can't be compared with toyota which is the superior brand
Great review.
This Looks Totally Awesome and I Can't Wait For The Hybrid Version!!!!
And when is that releasing?
I love this vehicle... Great review.... When are you going to finally get a review out for the ford EcoSport
@soyfan, you drove right by my house. Absolutely dizzying to have watched your videos the past year introduction yourself in various cities & now see your latest in my backyard. All the best brotha
Great review as always! I wasn’t surprised when scrolling through the comments and saw several ppl comparing this to the new Civic hatchback. Currently, I’m torn between which one I want and which one I need. For myself, the Civic touring sport hatchback 6MT marks all of the boxes. The ground clearance for the Cross is a bit impressive, but paired with CVT and underwhelming power for an AWD car at 3300lbs, I’ll probably get the new Civic. #savethemanuals
a very well rounded review
Love it!
We had a 2017 Honda hrv until it was totaled last Sunday. My wife loved the Honda until the wreck. She is ok, but the car did not hold up to the accident well at all. She said that the hrv is not in her list of cars after the accident, It did not have braking mitigation on that year. Looking at the 22 hrv, not much has changed in 5 years, they do have the braking now. I always felt like the Honda was cheap, very sluggish, leaking rear tailgate, just cheaply made. The cvt was terrible. We are looking at the cross now and the RAV4. Going back to Toyota. Thanks for the video !
i’ve sat in a lot of toyota corollas, and somehow the rear legroom is totally fine for me at 5’10’’. I think it definitely is has a comfy back seat. Might want to move that front seat up a little bit
Yeah looked like the front seat was pretty far back, because my mom's similar sized '21 Chevy Trailblazer has more rear foot space than what I saw in this video. Wouldn't be a deal breaker for me though.
If you want more rear legroom, go with the Corolla sedan. Sedan has 35 inches of rear legroom, this Corolla Cross has 32 inches.
In my 2021 I can sit behind myself with the front seat all the way back and have enough room to spare and I’m 6 feet
@@MattCC16Gamingare you referring to the hatch or the sedan ?
@@braetonwilson4296 The current Toyota CUV architecture borrows space for cargo space from the rear seats. You see the same thing in the Rav4. Small cars just don’t need to be limousines. If your knees aren’t touching the seat in front of you then you’re as comfortable as if there were 3 feet there.
Great review! I was thinking that at the end I would see a link to your revised one, after spending a week with it.
There are two comments I have, having seen a trend in these reviews:
1. Most are reviewing the top-of-the-line, which will presumably be the least sold, while the LE FWD will probably be the most sold. And there's a lot of distinction as you know. So my first comment is on the AWD vs FWD: the difference in acceleration is apparently notable. I've seen 0-60 ratings of 8.6 and 8.8 where the tester had a timing device on board. I think I saw one under 10 for the AWD, but maybe that was one of a pair of non-XLE reviews, which may mysteriously also affect get-up-and-go.
2. I was glad that after commenting about no paddles you later mentioned the manual shifting. I am unaware of a difference, with the exception that, anybody who has driven a manual, and likes manual shifting, is accustomed to that right hand shifting below. I mostly drive with only my left arm, and often below in the middle, so those paddles are a deal breaker for me: I don't want 'em!
AND, after all my ranting, I'll most likely hold out to see what'up with the hybrid. It will probably price me out, thus giving me the time I'll need to instead pick up a much cheaper 1-year old certified pre-owned from all those people who will dump their original purchase in favor of the hybrid! 😄
Heated steering wheel (side sections only) is an available option in Canada. The switch for it would be located just to the left of the heated seat switches. I wish Toyota offered it in the US as well and can't understand why it chose not to do so. It reminds me of the old Red Rose tea commercials: "Only in Canada, eh? Pity."
Man it's a good thing you mentioned that "it's not a fast car and you don't expect it to be" and then talk about how slow it is throughout the entire review, the target audience of this car will likely never put their foot to the floor
maybe hes having fun ringing out the 4 banger
Honestly I might have considered this vehicle if they had offered it sooner. I traded my 2019 Corolla for the 2021 Crosstrek (Premium Trim) to get that AWD capability. Honestly don't find much of a problem with the 2L engine, but I don't tend to drive it like a sports car, which when you drive like how I do you don't find it to struggle very much
Good review. I wonder if it might hit that 9 second 0-60 on a 70 degree day with an engine that has run in a couple thousand miles? Another thing I wonder about is why testers comment that the top surface the dash is hard touch where you really don't come in contact with.
OCD?
The Toyotas I’ve owned get more powerful over time, opposite of the domestic cars I owned.
They complain that the top dash is hard, but not that the chrome/black trim rattles like a snake. It's a very annoying problem in *many* new cars.
Lovely review. Do u have a comparsion btw this and the Honda HRV?
You are the man soyfan, great review as always.
👈😂💖💖💖💖💋💋💋💋💋💋💋
@@RLTtizME soyfan? hol up lol
@@lunisce Who?
from some angles the back end looks like VW Alltrack. It's a your typical commuter car, but with AWD. It's okay, but rather the corolla hatch SE for the sportiness.
Might just consider trading my 2018 ford escape se for this! However the small leg backroom concern me a bit but other than that decent looking for a cross over! I kinda miss having a Toyota better yet a corolla! I've owned two in my lifetime loved them cars they are GREAT cars! Now that it's a suv now is just wonderful and Toyota might just win me back! I agree these will sell! Toyota was smart here!
@Redline Reviews: You are the first reviewer to mention that there is no heated steering wheel! Thank you. This really sucks because it is standard on LE in Canada. This will cost Toyota a sale because they don’t offer memory seats or heated steering wheel. I would have bought one.
Thank you Sofyan, any news on when hybrid will come out?
I recommend get the hybrid model. It worth every penny. Great daily and because it's an crossover you can go light off-road if you're into that active lifestyle.
There is no hybrid model of this type of vehicle.
@@patfraser3869 not in the us market. Maybe in a year it will.
@@patfraser3869 The hybrid version is a hot seller in Asia, I doubt they won't bring it to the US in a year or so.
Toyota already confirmed the Hybrid is coming to the US. I had a 2020 Rav4 Hybrid that I sold recently since I work from home now and 40 to 45 mpg plus the extra power you get from the electric motors is worth every penny. Should also shave a second or 2 from the 0 to 60 times on the Corolla Cross.
Uber and pizza delivery drivers will love this for the practicality and gas mileage. They’ll hold their value well like the Tacoma, 4Runner and RAV4.
Kinda reminds me of a modern version of the 2003 Toyota Matrix XR that I owned for years.
The Matrix/Vibe was a fantastic underrated vehicle! I have an 04 with 250k miles in the driveway as our backup car. Always starts, everything still works, fun to drive and huge inside!
The Matrix has more interior volume and rear legroom than the Corolla Cross 😱
What's the colour for the one in the still pic? Anyone know ? My old 92 camry was in this colour lasted forever and I want to order it!
Very Nice!
Probably good for the everyday commuter and Costco runs. Toyota has good reliability and longevity. Have 2002 Highlander V6 which still runs good, no oil leaks etc. just not good on gas.
Is there a "Sport mode" like on the Corolla?
The hybrid version of this is gonna be insanely popular.
Where is it ? I don't see it in dealerships
wish you could get it without the infotainment thingy stuck on the dash. CVT only kills all interest though.
Welcome to Austin, Sofyan! 🤠
Thanks! We’ll be back in a month to drive the new Civic Hatch! :)
Do you think the FWD model will have better pickup?
Loving this car
Why the RPM is at idle when you're driving it?
can you do, can it family? or did i miss the video? i really like the car. im scared of putting a car seat back there, a chr was really small to put one.
This is a great vehicle... should sell like crazy!
It looks good too!
Looks like a raised up station wagon, though...
I really wonder if they’ll bring out the SE & XSE AWD.
The matrix was basically the station wagon varient of the Corolla...
*Hi...which is better this Toyota Cross or the Mazda CX-30??*
Does the LE trim come w heated seats ?
My boy mentioned the door close sounds not as a solid thunk rather a tinny slam. Gotta love his choice of words for the door closing sound.
It's same size of toyota matrix ?
We're never getting the Corolla sports touring wagon in the US ..
No wagons of any kind.
.. why I haven't seen not even one on the streets? ... I guess for the same reason,, I'm still waiting for mine after almost 3 month lol...Beautiful colors but I prefer Silver. Also between a Highlander and a pilot what would you recomend. .thank you!
Great video. Need a Corolla cross and RAV4 comparison video next. Maybe even throw in the Venza for giggles.
How would the Mazda cx-30 compare to the corolla cross?
I think the price on this really will drive it's success just not very convincing for SUV owners. Entry level SUV perfect
I remember one episode where he closes the door and there was a water bottle in the cup holder and it sounded like shit when he closed it 🤣.
If anyone knows which episode please tell me I've been looking
This car is absolutely perfect for its target audience.
not really, people want good styling, modern tech and a refined driving experiance. This offers neither of that
@@kristians2704 based on how many people buy the Nissan Rogue and Honda CR-V, there are a lot of people that don’t want to stand out. The driving experience of this car is as bad as many other subcompact CUVs. Only the Mazda CX-30 has very refined driving manners
Does it come with computer chips? 😆 Nice preview 👍
Lol. Good one. You will be waiting forever
@@moeanthony9308 lol think have enough chips available to sell a lot of these in their first year
@@Reu_ag potato chips at the dealer as you salivate for one maybe
Would love to see an AWD Corolla Cross hybrid
Did I see it correctly, the XLE doesn't have remote start?
If you got the smart key it should be some weird combination with the lock and unlock button to get it started. Instead of a dedicated button.
Press lock lock lock (hold until the lights flash) then I’ll start
I think they are cashing in on the SUV craze. The Cross LE with destination $26,394, 0-60 10 seconds 25 cu ft. cargo. 2022 Honda Civic LX Hatchback CVT $24,540 with destination 2.0 engine (non-turbo), 0-60 in 8.5 seconds 24.5 cu ft. cargo a lot more rear seat leg room for passengers. I know the hatchback probably doesn't have the same height as the Corolla Cross for tall items, but I am sure a lot more pleasurable to drive and also gets better MPG.
This is actually built in my hometown of Huntsville, Alabama.
Yo, I also live in Huntsville!
@@PrituBhai I grew up there. I live in Nashville now! Great town!
@@ParkerHarless I was born and still living here. It’s a good place to live, beautiful city.
Holy smokes! That’s a lot of piano piano black on the center console
One of the good things about this car is the basic naturally aspirated engine. All these tiny turbo engines like Honda uses are not as reliable. Turbo engines are great for a weekend sports car, not so much for a daily driver if you want it to last well beyond 100k miles.
@@anonymous00117 They use those tiny engines because of government mpg requirements. It's common sense that an engine with more parts has more failure points. I'm sure some turbo engines are pretty reliable, but all things being equal, they will never be as reliable as an engine without forced induction.
Needs more of an aggressive gearing , but there will go the epa gas mileage economy numbers.
Super basic, and definitely not to my taste, but I imagine it will sell well and be a hit with those looking for a more budget-friendly alternative to some of the more expensive mainstream CUVs these days.
Or people who don't like larger vehicles. Anything bigger than this is too big IMO.
I appreciate your honesty in telling your readers what you really feel. Ha!
readers? I'm here to watch
The back reminds me of the Toyota Sienna
I think it be kinda cool if they somehow come back with the FX16
This color looks better than the white and red ones making the rounds last month, in my opinion.
Awesome review Sofyan this will sell like hotcakes
It will sell like hotcakes because Americans and Canadians are crazy about crossovers/SUVs. You could make a crossover out of literal human feces and still there will be a long line of Americans waiting to buy it. Considering this is slower than the Corolla sedan/hatchback due to weighing several hundred pounds more and has inferior torsion beam suspension, I would rather pay a few grand more and buy a RAV4.
@@braetonwilson4296 Well said. Just buy a Rav. Torsion beam.. Yikes.
No doubt Toyota will sell a lot of these Corolla Cross, and likely will steal sales from the CH-R. While Toyota is keeping the CH-R for now, I wonder if Toyota will eventually axe it, or keep it around as a "niche" entry level model?
Its popular in Japan and Turkey.
Thanks... can you compare this to a Kia Soul ???
Um when I saw the review for the Corolla l it did not come with a switchblade key but the older in-keynremote
4:20 I get more of a Subaru vibe from the back.
I full on fell for this thumbnail telling me you had a green one.
When is the Corolla cross TRD coming
No, nothing
@@yosmilemo oh ite
I’ll wait for the hybrid.
Very Nice Car.
I was going to criticize some things about this car but honestly compared to my current car I’d be extremely happy to get one of these lmao
Lol
When is available in us
Goes on sale next month!
0:30 looks a bit like a Goliath grouper ..perhaps I am being unkind to the grouper ? (I will check it out at my dealer all the same as I am in the market for a new car.)
Toyota sells this here in the Philippines with a mild hybrid engine as the only option.
I believed in Asia only the hybrid is available, as the 1.8L hybrid seemed to be the only engine option in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand...
@@silcosilva yep and in other Asian countries like India, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh too.
Thanks for info 👍I guess we'll be getting it next year in the USA.
The Philippine model Corolla Cross is offered with the 1.8NA engine from the base US Corolla and the 1.8 Hybrid (not Mild Hybrid) powertrain from the Prius.
Toyota do have a 1.2 turbo in Japan. Those US executives worries about their pay more then giving what people wants. That's why so many Toyota Camry, Sienna, Highlander, Lexus ES, RX, LX and LS drivers opted for Tesla.
Yet Toyota sales and profits still trumps? Some leave some come back and some are new to Toyota. No big loss.
It's a fuck re-badged 2021 Highlander (sitting in my driveway) minus the 3rd row seating.
I think the grille looks like the one on the RAV4, this looks like a baby RAV overall, the Highlander has a more squint like grille.
My favorite reviewer. Just also watched his CX-30. Would pick the 2.5 with no CVT from Mazda.
thanks
took a while to adapt because americans already keen on rav4
Agreed. What’s the point of this model when the RAV4 exists?
I understand what you mean Soyfan, but I disagree. I’m glad Toyota is keeping the 2.0 NA so it will last longer. I’d get a Kona or Seltos with the 10yr warranty if wanted a turbo for speed.
Maybe the future hybrid may help with speed.
Should put the 2.5L from the Camry into the Corolla X. The 2.5 Crosstrek is so much better to drive vs the 2.0 when I go up hills or overtake.
At whose expense. Then buy a Rav
@@moeanthony9308 Big wait list for the rav4 prime
@@nintendoatarikiller Yes and regular Ravs too.
@@nintendoatarikiller my point to you is.. Once you put a Camry engine into this the price goes way up. It's adequate with the engine it has.
If they can make the hybrid model get 50 mpg or close to it I'll get one
The hybrid version rated for about 54.6 mpg in Thailand and Philippines
i actually like the way it looks and it seems decent but man these 4 cylinder subcompact SUVs are such penalty boxes i just couldn't. 10 seconds to 60 going downhill is absurd.
Yeah.
Kona, literally any of the turbo charged Mazda CX line, Tuscon Hybrid, ford escape 2.0 show this market can have decent power.
Konas 1.6T can push 60 is less than 7 seconds (6.7 of I remember right)
The Tuscon Hybrid can push it in roughly 7.5
Escape (2.0) can push it in 6.9
And the Mazda lines with the 2.5T engines are all within the the 6-7 second range as well excluding the cx9 as it's a larger vehicle.
They should have uses the new 2.5 engi they use in the rav 4. 40 more HP and a decent bit more torque. And paired it with the 8 speed auto instead of the CVT.
That alone would make this a much better vehicle
@@nighttimestalker They were probably aiming for better mpg. Gas is going up. I would predict this being hot with older drivers.
@@lindap.p.1337 MPG is not all that great for this Corolla Cross. What is it, 31-32 mpg? Corolla SE sedan gets 40 mpg on the highway.
Yup Veyron you have a point. Even Corolla sedan gets 0-60 of 7.9 seconds with the CVT and 7.5 seconds with the six speed manual. This Corolla Cross is a lot slower than the Corolla sedan because it weighs 300 pounds more.
Over 10 seconds, so it’s as slow as HRV and Kicks, I think crosstrek might be the fastest in the segment without big turbo engine.
This car is pointless vs the Corolla hatch , but hey people will buy them because it's a sUv
ONLY if you get the optional 2.5 engine. Once the optional hybrid becomes available on the CC next year, it will beat it.
@@afcgeo882 hybrid? Like the same one from Corolla hybrid? It’s also slow.
@@blackwhirlwind1245 I doubt it’ll get the 1.8 hybrid from the Corolla. Toyota has been employing solely dual drive (AWD) hybrid systems on its CUVs, so it’ll either be a 1.8 or 2.0 engine mated to two electric motors, one front, one rear. That means it will likely get at least a 30hp boost over the Corolla Hybrid, but quite possibly, the 2.0 hybrid plant from the Lexus UX which puts out 181hp. My guess is that Europe and Asia will just get the 1.8 hybrid, but North America and the Middle East get the 2.0. Either way, it will be faster than the gasoline engine.
Except cx30 turbo is faster but it starts at 30-31k
Great review, as always. But the Corolla was about as boring as a car could ever be (my wife drives a 2008), so this would be intolerable for anyone who likes driving in any way. Sad.
You didn’t mention the road noise. I imagine it’s a noisy cabin.
