More Power + The Best Fuel Economy | Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid First Drive
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 พ.ค. 2024
- It turns out that sometimes, being powered by a Prius powertrain is good. Case in point: the new Corolla Cross Hybrid shares its new eAWD hybrid system with the new Prius. Although rated for 42 MPG, we managed to average 50 MPG without trying terribly hard. Highway numbers should fall closer to 40 MPG, but any way you slice it, the new Corolla Cross Hybrid is an interesting alternative to the best-selling Crosstrek. It offers more power and significantly better fuel economy in a more boxy package.

This is a more functional, with more interior room, new Prius. And that’s a compliment for its power and fuel efficiency! Well done
The zero to 60 time for this Corolla Cross hybrid is impressive! Sofyan from Redline Reviews did it in 6.8 seconds! In comparison, TheTopher said it took him almost 13 seconds to do zero to 60 in the 2023 Honda HR-V!
@Steven Strain Even when comparing the non-hybrid options, the Toyota Corolla Cross wins over the Honda HRV. Corolla Cross has 169 hp and 151 lb ft of torque. HRV has 158 hp and 138 lb ft of torque. Furthermore the Corolla Cross has the unique & superior Corolla CVT with a physical first gear that gives you faster acceleration off the line and better reliability. HRV has an old school CVT with no physical first gear.
@@braetonwilson4296 no one mentioned the HRV
@@RemixerUltimate Steven Strain did but then he deleted his comments.
Do not erase the Prius with another crossover please
I am 20 years professional driver ,I have bought the corrola cross hybrid , it's a really fantastic car ,better than the Rav 4 ,if you don't want bigger space and more off road capabilities
You are correct in everything you said
Does the rear seat have enough space for larger passengers? The Corolla Touring Sports has more leg room because they stretched the wheelbase several cm. They should have done the same for the Cross.
How long have you wait to get one?
How is the suspension on bad roads ?
I don't think Toyota will be able to (potentially ever!) make enough of these things. It sounds like the essentially perfect vehicle for a lot of people (at least, a lot of Americans) given current economic conditions and uncertainties.
Still an 8 month wait in my part of Canada. That's a big "NO" for an order.
That is a problem, I'm waiting 4 months now. Good luck!
Been driving a CCH since December, 2,700 miles. Great car but I'm averaging 36.5 MPG, not 42. Second, the fuel tank is only 10.8 gallons. My practical tank is only 8 gallons with a range of 288 miles. That's not very good and I find myself buying gas almost as often as my old Crosstrek. I thought I could get used to this but I was wrong. A 14 gallon tank would have been a home run.
This will just be another great car that Toyota doesn't have on lots and when they do, they will be asking 5K over sticker. None of these new cars really excite me until they are actually available to buy and for MSRP.
Toyota doesn't ask for an additional markup - it's greedy independent dealers who do. You have to find a dealer who sells for MSRP. They're out there.
@@kenhoward3512 Toyota is partially to blame too for keeping new car production low. Toyota has come together with Ford, GM, Nissan etc. and pledged to keep new car production low. This allows them to keep prices high and save millions of dollars by not having to pay cash rebates and marketing costs. Due to low production, less cars are sent to dealerships which forces dealers to sell these cars at higher prices so that they can still make a profit.
@@braetonwilson4296 what size do you take in tin foil hats?
@@ATH_Berkshire Look it up yourself instead of dismissing it.
So F’ng true!
I’ve been waiting for this forever! It was released before the Prius but yet Prius is available already.
Got the Corolla Cross Hybrid XSE with blackout badges and love it!! 40-50 MPG depending on drive. Comfortable, easy to drive, pretty fast, lots of headroom, all the bells and whistles, adaptive cruise control is amazing, breaks are amazing, heated seats, sunroof, blind spot, lift gate, AWD, pretty decent audio, apple CarPlay, navigation, nice seats, and just an amazing small SUV. Traded my 2 year old BMW X1 and never looked back. Happy to be back with Toyota for sure! This is not a family SUV, there’s not a lot of leg room in the second row but for a couple it’s perfect. So much better than the “ever expanding RAV4 “ which keeps getting bigger in size and in price. This is like “mini RAV4 meets mini Highlander”! Finally a small hybrid SUV from Toyota! Not everyone wants, likes or needs a huge SUV!! This is the perfect small SUV!!
I brought home a Nightshade model in Celestine paint last Monday. So far I'm really pleased with it. This is my fourth Toyota hybrid, and IMO its powertrain is the best yet. It will take a long, steep hill near me at 55 MPH without high revs from the engine, something none of my three hybrids before it could do. The fastest I was comfortable driving my 2019 Prius up the same hill was 45 MPH. I'm looking forward to our first long trip with the Cross. Thanks for a great review, Alex.
Great review, thank you. The most recent official news I saw last week said they would be in U.S. showrooms in June. I hope this won't be a waiting list + high dealer markup situation!
Good luck getting one of these anytime soon. After watching this review, I called the local Toyota dealer here in the SF Bay Area and was told it will be months and months before we see one. Looks like a winner though.
Great episode, Alex. I am in the market and have cross shopped the Corolla Hybrid, the new Prius and the RAV 4 Hybrid. This looks like another fine option.
What about the Venza?
Im in the same boat
I likewise am looking at those 3 options too. The RAV4 Hybrid, which was always my first choice but high mark-up prices turn me away from two dealership ; Corolla-Cross Hybrid, which before the earlier estimated mpg of 37 was a turn off, and for the very first time I love and want or won't mind getting into a Prius of which nothing about it turn me off.
I think this is the best balance between rear headroom and overall interior space, fuel efficiency, and decent performance. The Corolla is slower, the Prius is more fuel efficient. This is the middle ground. If I was in the market, I’d be getting this one.
Great review Alex. Seems like a home run for Toyota. Unfortunately probably another car we will wait over a year or more for after you place your order.
Alex, thank you for explaining everything! Great video.
A friend of mine is in the market for a small crossover, and when she called a few of her local Toyota dealers, the waitlist for a Corolla Cross was significant (small refundable deposit + 12-18 month wait)
unfortunately this is like every new toyota now
Jesus that's a wait!!! I hope she gets it sooner rather than later.
So what your saying is I should get on a waitlist now for the 2024 model. My Forester will be 8 years old by then so I think its time for a replacement.
Yikes!
Great review!! After rejecting a new RAV4 because of the noise and stiff seating, this sounds like it would be a great alternative. Will just have to wait til they arrive in our area to teat drive. Thanks!!
Love it! Hard to understand wasting so much hatch space with the emergency, high voltage, disconnect. Was it a temporary design on a test prototype, and the engineers forgot to circle back to move it to the side?
This is on my shortlist! Perfect size for living and driving in LA traffic and compact parking spaces.
Great review, thanks!
I've been waiting for this one. I liked the idea behind the original Corolla Cross being lower cost and slightly smaller than a RAV4 (I like driving slightly smaller vehicles in general and am in the market for a practical CUV...), but reading peoples' experiences with the 169 horsepower engine put me off. Hopefully the additional horsepower with the hybrid electric engine/motor makes up for that. The fuel economy is extremely nice, too!
The 169 horsepower engine is great for the Corolla sedan/hatchback since they're both about 300 pounds lighter than the Corolla Cross. However the Corolla Cross is simply too big and heavy for that engine. Honda made the same mistake with the 2023 Honda HRV, giving it the Civic's base 158 horsepower engine. TheTopher said it took him almost 13 seconds to do zero to 60 in the 2023 Honda HRV.
Yeah, but say goodbye to low cost! Other countries are getting the lower end "L" line, configured like current Corollas and Cross's.
@@braetonwilson4296 wow, that's a pretty long time to go 0-60 😬 Not sure I'd be confident merging on the freeway with that
I'm with you, I really liked the way the Cross felt in the seats and the steering, but the acceleration was underwhelming.
Having driven my friend's Corolla Cross, I think it's good enough for everyday driving. Some people just don't anticipate and can't drive without v6 torque while some own dinky 100hp 90's Civics and do just fine. It depends on the driver but anything is better than the garbage CHR they had before.
Do you get the impression Alex was REALLY impressed with this vehicle!
Nice. However, this makes me so grateful my 2022 RAV4 Hybrid has a Spare Tire.
Exactly I don't see myself buying a car without spare tire, eventhoug I almost never need it
If you buy rather than lease this car, it looks like it'd be pretty easy to cover up or even reroute that high-voltage line and stick in a spare.
@@Ithirahad I am almost sure that moving the wire will void the warranty
I don't know why I was so amused at your excitement about the powered lift gate. I also thought it was a burrito in the glove compartment. I have bad eyes.
Great review as usual. I would love to see results for these hybrids in more congested/city environments to see what the real world mpg/range would be. I'm older people now and my needs have changed. We currently have a 2016 Outback w/2.5 and CVT when we we working it easily averaged 17 commuting/errands runs but now my wife is lucky she goes more than 6 miles for shopping/errands and of course in hot weather the a/C is full blast giving her around 11mpg typically. On the highway it still easily gets 33mpg but that amount of driving is greatly diminished these days so I want something that would still get big mpg with our use these days and since my Spark EV is awesome it's size is too small for her comfort meanwhile I'm 6' and she's 5'2 and I love it. Anyway, it seems an efficient AWD hybrid may be in our future and since the dealers are soaking folks for a Maverick Hybrid this car seems like a great option. BTW, your review of the Spark EV helped me decide on one and coming up on 4yrs of ownership I'm still very happy with it so your reviews are a great source for my research on vehicles, thanks!
Such GIANT bezels on the infotainment screen!
i love this generation of toyota hybrids. more power and great gas mileage...best of both worlds!
Very impressive for economy at 50 mpg for your drive. Make mine Cypress Green. Thanks for the thorough review 😊
yes ut díse
Nice review! These cars will be like Sasquatch trying to find in Canada. I think this cross vehicle is different enough to warrant a new name, and maybe move away from the Corolla name plate that is plagued with crazy insurance rates. Nice to see Toyota refining the hybrids and not moving to full on electric, which doesn't work for me.
Spot on Alex!
They should have offered a bigger infotainment screen. Many are doing 10.25 in. That area around the screen is MASSIVE. It make it look smaller and cheaper.
Lack of spare tire sucks, but you can get your own. No big deal.
The 0-60 is pretty good. Considering how heavy it is and lack of turbo.
The MPG are actually good. Before Toyota said 37. Which wasn’t that impressive. Getting mid 40s on paper but much higher in real world is amazing.
Good luck to everyone on getting one of these. I would love one as well, but Toyota still has extremely bad supply issue.
I wonder how long the wait is.
Yes, weird that the host acted like people were just going to go pick these things up for sticker price down at the dealership. These cars are going to be a major pain in the @ss to buy. Back ordered, waitlisted.. the demand is going to be very high and the dealers are going to be tacking on their ‘dealer adjustments’🙄
It’s a shame because it really does seem like a nice car, and at or below MSRP it seems like a good value. But most people probably aren’t going to want to pay a couple thousand over sticker and then wait like 9 months for delivery…
@@tbc210 Yikes
It will take YEARS to get one in Canada

Shout out to the good ole hymn Lift High the Cross at 10:28
Alex, Wow, the Cross Hybrid is finally here! Toyota must be relieved they beat their initial MPG estimate while vastly improving performance over the 2.Slow engine in the regular Cross.
It is reassuring to see the impressive new Prius drivetrain going into a genuinely practical vehicle. 🤩Toyota buyers will now have to decide whether they want to be on the interminable
waiting list for the RAV4 Hybrid or Hybrid Cross.😉 On the subject of headroom - HALLELUJAH!!!!🥳🥳🥳🥳 What a pity the Cross has so much less legroom than its chief rival the HR-V. 🤨
@RightLaneHog which one would you choose to replace your matrix
@@broseph7-7-06 RAV4 Hybrid. It has a bigger back seat, a spare tire and a higher tow rating for a couple of extra monthly payments.
There only a $1420 price difference between both of them
How long is the wait list for this vehicle?
The Cross Hybrid is here only if it's here,and it isn't.
Looking forward to seeing and using this hybrid system in the Mazda CX-50 when it comes out!!
I’d expect the 50 to use the one from the RAV4. If it uses this one it’ll be underpowered since it’s a much larger/heavier vehicle.
@@BrandonG8Man not really though because the base engine in the cx50 has less hp and much worse mpg
35K?? Ouch!!! I would rather step up and opt for a RAV4.
That 35k can only get you the base trim of rav4 hybrid
@@kromahj a base rav4 hybrid is around 30k. 35K would get you an XSE hybrid
@@naveenthemachine that not true bud, xse hybrid is like 42k. Maybe you talking about xle .
@@kromahj the limited trim of the rav4 MSRP wise is over 40k
@@naveenthemachine gas yes, not hybrid bro. Cuz I got the xle hybrid for my wife in 2020 for 37k
Shockingly good value on this! If it's as reliable as my 2008 Highlander, it's gold.
Need more in-depth comparison of CC vs RAV4, one thing for sure it will be hard to get at dealership
I went to japan recently and saw a good amount of these. I noticed that japan has the amber signals where the white space is in the outer brake lights/signals...I'd do some sort of conversion to fill in that space or buy jdm spec lights altogether lol
Asked around for this car. Nearly 6 months after introduction, the wait time is still over 8 months for this.
8:30 that’s a bottle holder. Because it doesn’t have space for the typical lower compartment on the rear door, they at least throw in space for a bottle.
Please discuss safety features like blind spot monitoring etc.
Alex, can you tell me what the fuel tank capacity is for the CCH? The regular one is either 12.4 or 13.2 gallons depending on the trim.
I went to the Toyota dealer last week. The only new cars they had was 1 Camry and 1 ugly base model Rav4. Titus Will ford in Tacoma WA.
Hi Alex, thank you for uploading such informative and helpful videos so consistently!
How do you think this compares with the Niro PHEV? In Canada, it seems like the Niro PHEV would be the better buy since it gets a $5000 rebate while this does not, so I was trying to convince my friend to go with the Niro PHEV since he can charge at home and AWD is not necessary. However, after hearing you give the Corolla Cross Hybrid such high praise, I'm not so sure anymore.
I think both would be a sound investment. I think the Corrolla Cross hybrid would my pick between those two(I like the Toyota engine better.) The PHEV wouldn't be that advantageous for me personally, but it may be for someone else.
@@ghenry85 Fair points, I guess the Toyota tax exists for a reason since it's always so hard to convince my friends to consider alternatives. If this is as good as Alex says it is though, the waiting list will be long enough to convince some buyers to go elsewhere.
Niro competes more with Prius
@@chezzyperson3339 Agreed, but my friend wants something "SUV-like", so the Corolla Cross Hybrid would be a better fit than the Prius.
buy ít
Actually I am going to the Toyota dealer in my locale tomorrow. This was pre-planned of course, but I viewed this because I wanted a 'head up' on what I should expect, BEFORE the sales rep
tells me all I should know. (maybe some stuff I don't need, but hey, it's what they do )
Alex I really like your reviews very through all around. I would like to know a bit more detail on the engine and the transmission on this vehicle. Thank you.
Check reviews on the 2023 Prius...same drive train.
Why are they not providing a spare tire? What's the alternative other than the repair kit
No cable# for this one too compared to the RAV4H, correct? Lots of disappointment on RAV4World with the HV cable corrosion.
Please let us know how comfortable seats are. Please be honest.
I've seen so many reviews of this car and no one mentioned anything about it.
Also how the seats in xse model?
Those seats are the same as RAV4?
I subscribed and gave a like.
Thank you
Amazing!! Looks like will be hot sales, hope Toyota sends enough to dealerships 😪
Toyota won't unfortunately. Toyota, along with Ford, GM, and Nissan, have pledged to keep new car production low. Low supply allows them to keep demand and prices high and not have to pay millions in new car cash rebates and marketing.
@Braeton Wilson I mean that is the jist of it, but they also just don't want to have large inventories at dealerships just sitting for months and have to offer incentives to move them.
XSE starts at $31k + $5k dealer markup...
I got mine well not hybrid last year ❤❤very economical saves me gas , been in Vegas 2x very strong engine I have no complaints .33 miles per gallon 👍👍👍not bad.. I don’t like turbos coz it makes ur engine stress
These front ends, how do you get the bugs off? of the goal is fuel efficiency, why a textured front end. The ugly has been keeping me away. A great video as always.
Seems like an excellent value and like most new Toyotas, rides quite well. The thing is, can you get one. And if and when you can, will the dealer jack the price way up?
Sounds like you already know: you can't get one and the price will be very high. Whereas other countries are releasing the more standard "L" line, here we're only getting the higher end "sport" line. You may be best to wait a couple of years until (1) interest rates come back down, (2) supply issues are resolved, and (3) the "L" line is released.
i have the corolla cross with 2.0 engine. i use extreme driving style to get 5.0L/100km, which is 47 MPG. i never go over 100km/h, seldom let the engine go over 2500rpm when accelerating and hyper mill when ever possible. its a different kind of fun squeezing for MPG.
are roof racks available
Semi Prime? 😊 Is that epa rating for the S trim or all trims?
I much prefer the Corolla Cross design to to the RAV4 design.
Probably moving the wire will void the warranty, spare tire is a must for me, eventhoug I only need it once every 10 years
Paddle shifter great on mountain 2 lane roads where we live at. Agree not necessary on flat land.
In general we love it. Minor downsides- memorize the climate controls because otherwise you need a magnifying glass to see them while driving ( : Also any weight over about 100 pounds in the cargo area definitely affects the steering feel in a negative way. This is not a cargo hauler. If needed, drop the rear seat backs and shift cargo forward.
@6:00 you know that wiring seemed like a after thought but next year you bet Toyota will definitely change that design flaw. Than again this is Preproduction so... Hope one of the hybrid trims offers vented seats.
My everyday hybrid SUV! I might buy Alex.
He's not cheap (I hear).
Looking forward to seeing the SE model.
I was hoping they would at least show an interior of the SE
Very helpful, detailed review! 👏🏻 I’m really bummed about no spare tire, but hopefully you’re right that one could be purchased and jury-rigged to fit into the cargo space.
QUESTION: I’ve heard the center console does NOT have an armrest that slides forward-could you please confirm or refute that? Thanks! 😎
I drove the S model, it doesn’t have an armrest that slides forward.
The armrest is tiny and sits high-I did find an armrest on Amazon that does slide forward.
I guess that might help??
Yes, thank you! 👍🏻 @@joannestazio4495
How quiet on HWY driving is it?
But on Toyota official website says combine 6.4L/100km
Means around 36mpg
From where you got 42mpg info
Would you say this is the modern version of the Prius V?
Did it come with that roof rack or did you add it?
Today 4/20/23 in the Wall Street Journal a story about a new ev Sodium Ion battery. It makes me wonder whether new/replacement batteries will be available for these cars in years ahead should you need one.
Very interesting. This is now on my watch list. I don't like the black roof and would prefer the front end of the non-hybrid version, but the added acceleration and fuel economy win out, IMO. I need lots of headroom, this looks better than RAV4.
I think the Corolla Cross is pretty dull, but in this form it's just about the perfect modern economy car for most buyers. Aside from a lackluster interior, I can't see anything significantly wrong with this, and even the interior is acceptable for a relatively inexpensive car, and would have been premium twenty years ago.
If Toyota doesn't sell massive numbers it's because they either aren't making enough or haven't figured out how to market them. For most people this will be just as functional as a RAV4 Hybrid, and save money. It's not as if the RAV4 interior is any nicer or much roomier.
Honestly the main pain point for marketing is the name. Whatever this thing is, it isn't a Corolla. It aims at a subtly different market segment and does not have any of the Corolla's limitations.
I agree with your take on the Cross. The interior is cheap and the ride is soft but feels odd on regular surface streets.
My friend just paid $37k for one. I drove it and Im less than impressed.
The lack of a spare tire, when there appears to be enough room for one if the area were better-designed, is disappointing. I would appreciate a dealer having a modification package to accommodate a spare (or, better-yet, change this design Toyota!).
Finally someone mentions AMBER LIGHTS AT THE REAR. I will not buy any vehicles without those Amber lights. Safety is why I like those lights especially when changing lanes or 4 way flashers. No spare tire?? Oh I AM REALLY NOT BUYING THIS VEHICLE
You are an excellent communicator. Would a donut spare fit easily in the back? Kudos.
my wife drives 2021 rav4 hybrid mostly city driving she got 45mpg avg amizing car on fuel
Looks like a winner, where I live the waiting list is longer than a year.
Where do you live?
Any towing capability? Looking for something to tow a futility (brush and such) trailer or a light (
1,500 pounds.
is it quieter than the RAV4 hybrid?
Great video, i can dream
Just got back from dealership in Vancouver WA after putting down a deposit for a new Wind Chill Pearl Corolla Cross XSE at MSRP. Do not pay markup. Several month wait likely but you never know how many they may pump out of the new Alabama factory for June.
oh holy cow. i guess i no longer think i need a kia niro phev. this is only a few MPG less, but i'll spend about 12k less for the car. it would take me forever to make up that cost. AND:
- this toyota should be more reliable
- and this should hold it's value longer
glad i waited.
And wait you will
How much can the corolla cross tow?
Another great review as usual. This engine has Toyota's D4S fuel injection system, yes? Next time could you show us or tell us if Toyota did the same correction on this model as they did for the Rav4 hybrids due to cable corrosion? Thanks, keep up the good work.
Check “car care nut”’s channel
@@ItsAlive111 I follow the car care nut & he did a review on the Corolla cross non hybrid but not the hybrid yet. Since I posted that I watched " Motormouth " on TH-cam ( they are the Canadians, Andrea & Zack ) Andrea stated " the cross hybrid has a different cable & you do not have to worry about cable corrosion ". The info came from Toyota.
50 mpgs wow! I've got 49 mpg with my Rav4 Hybrid a couple of time, don't think Ive ever crossed 50.
One question: is that 2 litre engine the Atkinson cycle variant?
Yes it is
@@AAutoBuyersGuide Hi Alex, did you have to use any hypermiling techniques to achieve that mpg ? That's very impressive for a crossover.
Alex great review as you make a huge effort to make this vehicle likable, just not a fan 🤔
I'm interested in knowing what the noise levels in db are at 70 mph on the freeway?
I don't know if any reviewers brought their db meter to San Diego for the test drive but others have noted this is as loud as other cars in its class.

Are you going to do full review?
I am going to buy one. The only thing is the XSE price...trying to find a dealer here in Florida that will work with me.
looks like the infotainment screen in top us spec is smaller than euro spec version, also outdated gauges even on top version.
Where was this when I Bought my new 2023 Corolla SE last November.
You bought too early
Could one just buy a small spare tire and leave it in the trunk for those long trips. I really don't need the full cargo 99.9% of the time and I don't go camping. This is my type of vehicle to get soon. Great detailed video
Just toss in a can of fix-a-flat and gtg
the EV fanbois are always knocking on Toyota for their insistence on hybrids but to this day people like these practical vehicles!
Such a great hybrid suv!!!! Wish they gave the Corolla hatchback the same treatment with all wheel drive and the higher power hybrid motor like this and the Prius get. Why don't they?????!!!!! I would go for the smaller Corolla hatchback if that were the case and you would have a warm hot hatch with AWD and great fuel economy. The Corolla hybrid can't compete with the Civic hybrid.
That underload floor situation is so weird, it's almost like they were going to fit a larger battery and ran into thermal and packaging problems.
This will probably be the new best car for Uber Drivers, or anyone really that needs good dailu transportation.
The new Prius looks amazing.. but the rear headroom is not good... or the storage. This will fit better for that need, and be more efficient than a Rav4 Hybrid.
Oddly I would want one without the AWD.. I have No need for it where I live.. It's an option in the Rav 4, too bad they did not make it an option in this car. Would save some weight and unneeded complication.
The Rav4 reminds you of your parent's family car. This is a great car for city-dwelling younger people.
Why do you think the Hybrid is more reliable than the "regular version of the Corolla Cross " ?
The lack of a spare is a non-starter for me FWIW.
Thank You for the concise and informative review.
Data. Toyota’s hybrids have on average been more reliable than the non-hybrid drivetrain in the same vehicle. Toyota’s traditional hybrid systems are far less mechanically complex than a traditional transmission.
@@AAutoBuyersGuide thank you
@@AAutoBuyersGuide 😁
What's the wait list time?
Disappointed to see that black two-tone color scheme seems to always be included in the higher-end editions. Damn near impossible to keep clean and spots up like hell if the weatherman even mentions the word rain.
You spoke of reliability. Is it yet known how reliable the extra motor and AWD system is for these types of hybrids?

Toyota has made millions of vehicles with similar hybrid drive trains, and they have proved extremely reliable & durable.
@@hereigoagain5050 good. I will buy one.
I know it’s probably a minor thing for most, but a red turn signal is a deal breaker for me. I just don’t feel that red turn signals are safe.
Ive been waiting for this segment to catch up for years now.
Im tired of the ever-increasing bloating of whats supposed to be small crossovers and the mpg suffering because of it. If I want a midsize SUV i'll get a damn V6 4Runner and it will be a real functional SUV. And waiting so long to make these crossovers hybrid is baffling. Stop trying to make them what theyre not. I want a modern hybrid sedan-like with extended cargo/liftback. IE a mini station wagon that gets great MPG and good power/nimble carlike handling. IDK why thats so hard to accomplish these days. Finally Toyota showed up to the party.
