The 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid XSE Is A Fuel Thrifty Electrified Small SUV

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 พ.ค. 2024
- With a fuel efficient new powertrain from the Toyota Prius, the #CorollaCrossHybrid is one of the few #Hybrid options in the pint-sized SUV segment. While the regular #ToyotaCorollaCross was a solid entry when it first debuted, the #Electrified option takes this small SUV to the next level with up to 45 MPG, standard AWD, and nearly 200 HP combined.

Besides being very thorough, one of the best things about Redline Reviews is that you are excited to show the good features and will warn us of all the ways the vehicle falls short. A lot of other reviewers straddle the middle.
Glad it was helpful! We try to strive to keep it real in every review ❤

Reliability is why people buy Toyotas
I agree; I have a 20 year old Tacoma that I plan to keep for another 10 years
Only problem with Toyota is they choose not to keep up with demand. Great little suv here. Love the color combo.
I have owned many corollas, they are very cheap to maintain these cars. Insurance is cheaper too, because they put non expensive parts to repair unlike the competition who will put camera's that cost thousands of dollars in costs to repair. Subaru impreza had headlight bezel that cost $$2500 to fix. Simple is better if you need an affordable car, and Corolla hybrid will save you money from fuel, and last a long time. That money can help you buy a sport car.
Always some of the best reviews and analysis. Interesting high-mpg AWD ride with very few competitors. Intrigued.
It’s empty here .. I have never been this early to the comments section.. Can’t believe I came here for a Corolla 😂
A thick one lol
Thick, ha
I😂0⁹normal ❤
And as you can see it's better to be early than good.
This is the practical, reliable, and great gas mileage vehicle folks need if they donot have a large family. Great vehicle if you can find one. Expect to pay through the nose for one or wait until inventory catches up. They are made at the Toyota/Mazda plant in Huntsville, Ala. I hope the quality is as good as ones Made in Japan, we shall see. If you don't need a vehicle currently, get a 2024 model, which will allow for any quirks or kinks to have been fleshed out and fixed. 🤔
Nicely done. A lot of information with no wasted language. Currently driving a Crosstrek and planning on getting a new car next year. I much prefer that the Crosstrek has the infotainment in the dash (can't stand that elevated screen), but I like the hybrid and improved gas mileage w/ the Toyota.
I hope when I graduate with my CS degree in 2024 that I can get my hands on one of these :)
hopefully the economy turns around by then
If you have a CS degree, you shouldn’t be looking at this car.
Very nice review. I sure to share with someone looking at one of these. Thank you
As always honest great reviews
Thanks
A good review - as always by you - thank you.
Thx for the great review. Getting one soon.
I'm getting one soon. Thanks for the video
i have a 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. so l smile when i see the gas pump, and its a different kind of fun to squeeze for MPG.
Hey, you again! Lol.
@@A_A_J. boasting my amazing MPG, 🤣🤣
Pfft I always go over a 100 and still get good gas mileage lol im just a heavy foot driver lol.
Great analysis! Very informative and detailed regarding attributes that could effect daily driving.
I purchased one with the Nightshade package in Celestine paint on Monday of last week. It's my fourth Toyota hybrid, and I'm super pleased with it. We have a long steep hill near us, and this is the only one that could/can take the hill at the speed limit without the engine going nuts. Definitely an improvement over my 2019 Prius AWD.
I have no trouble with my wireless charger in a couple of different types of iPhone cases, FYI. It always charges. My main issue with this vehicle is the engine is a bit loud but acceptable. Suspension is good, corners well, good safety tech, warned me of an imminent bumper-to-bumper issue today... good car to own. MPG as promised.
Great input!
I like the engine feel in the pedals and the sound. It's like haptic feedback. Otherwise sometimes you forget its on.
It's actually pretty impressive how well they emulate a normal drive train.
You gotta remember that even the idle speed is "faked" and it simulates an idle speed. It simulates drag downhill (hence the needle dipping into the charge zone downhill).
Tapping the "gas" gently downhill doesn't apply "gas", but rather, reduces the drag and returns the needle to "zero." xd
Also consider that because the engine can be off while it's driving, the A/C is electric, the steering is electric, the braking is electric. The gear shift isn't shifting any gears. There's no "parking gear", so it has to engage a parking brake. All kind of mindblowing stuff.
Excellent review. Camera work and preparation was top notch. We are looking at this vehicle this month as our Prius was hit head on by a illegal immigrant, no license, no insurance, di not own the car, and car registered owner had no insurance. Yikes. Prius was totaled. I just bought a Corolla LE 3 months ago and enjoy driving it for city needs. The Corolla Cross will be our travel out of state car to see our kids and grandchildren.
Had one as a loaner last week. It was really great on fuel (EU spec hybrid).
Good for Toyota! Glad that Soyfan reviews everyday cars, but adding some spice to the mix would be appreciated. I like it when he gets excited about the car.
I like watching videos by Redline Reviews :)
I like to watch
@@gerry9306, me too 😂
@@gerry9306 That’s good 😊
Nice video and I might try to buy this Sofyan.
Comes only with the vacation-wrecker fix-a-flat kit. No way to even stow a spare tire because of the electrical junction in the middle of the spare tire well.
And especially when the rav 4 comes with a spare
Great car, only problem is that all the Toyota dealers near me are marking up this model for at least around $3k-$5k. :D
I love Corolla’s. Driving an 06 LE now. And it’s my 4th one but when they released the cross, I was skeptical until I drove one and immediately fell in ❤.
If I could afford one, I’d get one. Definitely my choice of small crossover!
Simply best in class like every other Toyota 😍👑
Toyota car fire recall is a problem.........
@@crow_2k11beatsbydre8No thats Hyundai
@@davevolz6138 No its Toyota, google it........
@@crow_2k11beatsbydre8it's hyundai fingers crossed
@@kevij371 Toyota is issuing a recall over concerns with faulty electricity converters that could increase the risk of a fire, with approximately 43,000 Toyota and Lexus plug-in hybrid SUVs affected by the issue. Affected vehicles include model-year 2021-22 Toyota RAV4 Prime SUVs and model-year 2022 Lexus NX450h+ SUVs.
Interesting. Going to the builder at the Toyota site, it says "not available in your region." But the site for my local dealer (literally 3.1 miles from the house) shows 4 of them on the way. Price ranges from $32,690 to $35,290.
You can get the 2 tone on SE and XSE. Also, there is only S, SE, and XSE.
Excellent overview!
I've made up my mind. Buying the car now. Is there a wait list due to its popularity and positive reviews? Thanks
Best car in the segment!
How does this handle in the snow for places like Colorado or northern AZ?
I want a Toyota, but every time I drive one I hate the lack of steering feel. It makes the car feel bigger and less intuitive. That being said, they are the best at hybrids, resale values, reliability, etc.. This one beats out the HRV, CX30, Kona, etc in this category though.
CX-30 turbo is very quick
cant wait to get mines
Other than the engine noise , how's the outside noise on the highway?
Awesome Video 📸 😮☺️👍 Question? IS it More of a Tomato 🍅 Red or a 🍓 Strawberry Red or Cherry 🍒 Red??!?😊
I personally like the interior and exterior of the new Honda HRV more but I should have looked at this first before buying it simply because this car offers more features and power.
But the fuel economy for the HRV is atrocious for the class - I think it’s literally the worst in class.
@@Socooomfy Yeah it could be better, but it could be worse. Like I said, I should have looked at the Corolla cross first
How is the road noise on it is better than camry ?
I have this car, the electric motors are under powered and the gas tank is only 10.5 gallons. Other than that It great.
European corolla cross has a panoramic sunroof 😂😂
Car companies really do americans dirty😆😆😆
Just more leakage when it goes bad.
You need to understand that every country has a different taste/preferences
So, essentially, this is a Prius crossover.
If by the word 'Prius' you mean 'hybrid', then yes.
the MPG isn't that impressive.
Interior isn't as nice as the Prius
It's a corolla SUV duh.
I have a 2023 Corolla Hybrid and I absolutely love it! My one and only knock on it is actually the android audio...it's glitchy as heck...freezes over constantly...
Can you fit a spare?
@@SimplyLeona it came with a fix a flat kit so I don't think so...at least a full size one wont
@@texarican_77 I’d pay for it to be included. That’s the only thing stopping me from making this my next vehicle
@@SimplyLeona you have to remember the design...a lot of cars give you more trunk space but sacrifice the space for the spare
Very Nice Bro! - Get Good People!
Which is better overall car this or Subaru crosstrek sport?
It would be nice if the glass behind the A pillar could be opened/vented.
Just got a Hybrid Rav4 limited for MSRP today but we were considering this also
What was the difference that made you go Rav4?
@@almostkindaalso have Rav4 limited hybrid. The Rav4 is bigger.
@@JustHavingFun_ I have a Rav 4 hybrid as well! Love it
I love Toyota cars, very good mpg, durability, and simplicity.
lov'in the color.. is this bigger or smalled than the C-HR?
Bigger
Trying to decide between Corolla Cross Hybrid XSE and the new Prius Limited?
Did they release?
At 6'4" would the Seltos be more comfortable than this Corolla Cross?
Could I have a buddy, with the knowledge and equipment, modify the seat mounts for more comfort?
Insulation. I like being able to quickly hear the "click, click, click" of a screw or nail in a tire. Comprende?
I bought a Hyundai Tucson Hybrid over a Toyota Rav4 Hybrid last year because of these drivability issues
Toyota has the best hybrids in the world, no doubt. The problem is the cost-cutting and the lack of refinement is felt
The Tucson is seamless in driving. Really feels more like an EV than a regular gas powered crossover
The Rav4's interior isn't on the Tucson's level, the sounds coming from the powertrain are unrefined, and the extra 3-4 MPG isn't enough to make up that difference in refinement.
12:22 "Even though this car is all wheel drive" It is in name only. The rear wheels are powered by a tiny electric motor meant only as an assist, not to prevent wheel spin. There is no mechanical connection between the front and rear axle and it can't transfer torque. Stay far away from this type of AWD system if you encounter slippery roads on any kind of prolonged incline.
It's certainly good enough for most AWD needs. If you have lots of bad weather, then maybe, but plenty of people drive FWD in those same locations so you could just add snow tires and be more than fine. Really bad area... get a Subie.
How can i buy it pls guide me.
My Rav4 XSE burns out the tires all the time in sport mode, too, especially on turns. lol. It's actually kind of annoying.
I've read it's a common problem with the default tires. Might need to shop around for new ones.
For a car in the 30-35k range, you could also get a wrx. Not really the same but i think you get more performance for your money in the wrx.
Sofyan your voice sounds much better now!
This was filmed before he lost his voice! 😅
@3:26; how about those nice two tone/contrasting bumper&fender panels lol
I like the front of this one rather than the gas only one 😮
I'm considering this car because the Crosstrek and Forester still don't have the hybrid option. I own the 2019 Crosstrek and it's a pretty great car but having it as a hybrid with 40+mpg would just be the best. Sadly, they're not having it yet and I need to get a car now. Sorry Subaru!
Agreed. They'll have hybrid options in 2025, but that's just too long of a wait for me and probably many others, and word on the street is that their MPGs on those models might not even be much higher than their standard gas models, which is a little silly. That all combined with Subaru's abysmal infotainment system (both the technology and the ridiculous iPad-size screen they're putting in all their new cars) makes me very likely to jump ship to Toyota.
It's not AWD, but isn't the Kia Niro (hybrid) in the same class as the Corolla Cross hybrid?
The fact you can’t even slightly criticize a Toyota product without all their little keyboard warriors in the comments arguing and liking each others comments is crazy 😂😂 y’all should be on Toyotas payroll
So true, I’ve driven nothing but Toyotas and I’m so sick of them lol
They come with issues too and I don’t feel that they are as reliable as they used to be
I test drove the Corolla cross and the drive was awful, it’s only selling because of the Toyota badge. Also from what I read, there’s a lot of issues with this car.
We can harshly criticize Toyota because they make it so easy to do that
Harshly criticizes Hyundai kia Honda Mazda genesis or bmw and everyone will laugh at you.
Toyota feels like they have to stay in competition with other companies by making vehicles like this, but I guess they never realized that the cars they made in the past were the best cars ever.
Can it go off road?
Center infotainment screen straight out of Ice Age...
As a mental health Case Manager, a C-HR hybrid with AWD would be perfect!
Can you do a full comparison vs the new Kia Seltos
Can someone tell them to bring the new C-HR to North America, looks so much better!
Sofyan, How is it possible that Toyota executives approved a final design that offers 3-4 fewer inches of rear legroom than chief competitors? 🤨
To brag about a 0.001 better fuel economy 😁
Most cars don't use the rear for 95% of the time.
@@A_A_J.Are you demented ? All of these fuel-efficient cars go to rental car companies, fleets companies Uber drivers and small families ..
@@levondarratt787 Even small families don't use the rear seats, most of the time. Most of the time it's just the driver. And for young families, a smaller back seat (smalLER, not small) is fine, because the kids are... small.
Calm down.
@@A_A_J.in fact, small kids use more room. The backward facing car seats take up so much room that I don’t think this car can even work.
Phx Toyota dealers are selling these models at $50k+… I ended up picking up a hybrid Tucson limited at msrp instead and I love my choice, a little larger but wayy nicer interior.
50K??!! What moron would pay that for a Corolla Cross? I hate these dumb people paying these prices and ruining it for those of us with some financial sense
Until in Hyundai fashion it self destructs by year 3. It's a shame all the endless problems in the Hyundai/kia's
Hate to say it, but my wife is an auto adjuster and she gets fire claims all the time on Hyundai’s and kias. They are death trap. Do not park your Tucson in an attached garage!
i have SE , im getting 46.4 m/ gl mix driving
If only these rims were on the Corolla hatchback 😭
Excuse me Corolla cross Are there problems such as roof leaks?
Toyota really needs to get on the stick and extend its Corolla Cross Hybrid line to Plug-In HEV. They tout the Cross Hybrid as having the same power train as a Prius; however, the Prius has a 'Prime' version (a PHEV), along with its RAV4 Prime, a PHEV. A Corolla Cross Prime, therefore, makes sense and should incorporate EV-only range and equivalent power train options in line with the Prius and RAV4.
Would make it more expensive than a RAV4 hybrid, and they'd start poaching their own sales. And they'd need a much more powerful electric motor. Complete redesign.
I'm not sure that squares, A_A_J. Apples to Apples, a plug in version of a Corolla Cross would unlikely out-cost a RAV4 Prime ($43,090). Also in 2024, the Venza is rumored to be coming out with plug in version; then over to Lexus, one has the NX450h PHEV. The Corolla Cross's direct competitor at Kia, for example, is the Niro PHEV; which starts at 33,840, while the Corolla Cross XSE Hybrid starts at $31,065; add the plug in feature for another $K or two and one can see there's plenty of room for PHEV options in this segment. Yes, it would need a *bigger battery* (for EV-only range), prol'ly requiring re-fit, but not necessarily a bigger electric motor.
Well it's not touting. It is only having a Prius engine. Being a larger SUV compared to a Prius it should have a bigger and better engine of course
@@levondarratt787 which would also make it more expensive, plus you lose the economy of scale for using the same engine and not having to have an extra production line. You can get ANYTHING if you want to pay for it. People looking for a corolla want to pay LESS, not more. You definitely don't need more power in this little SUV... 0-60 in about 8 seconds is more than enough.
Both front seats are power?
No, only driver side and only XSE
Why the tiny screens? i just watch a review of the european Corolla Cross and it has an 11" multimedia screen and a full screen difgital instruments.
Exactly! So outdated, so cheap.
large screens are not as good as mid-sized screens. The screen you should be focused on is the WINDscreen.
Toyota: built just good enough to sell a lot of units and not a tiny bit more.
In Thailand, I guess the Corolla Cross minor change will still be 1.8 Liter engine with the new facelift. It has to compete with the Chinese EV cars which get more attention from the Thai customers.
Should have bin called the rolla4 or 4rolla.
What is price in USA SANTA CLARA
By now, I feel like I know the neighborhood 😂
I have a 2018 corolla myself. What i wouldnt give to have something like this with a higher commanding view of the road.
Well the higher it is, the lower you are in the hierarchy on the roads. Truck drivers at the bottom. Formula 1 drivers are at the top. The lower you sit to the ground the better. It's the fallacy of American car buyers , they always need to make themselves look larger.... sits higher so the next car has to be even higher , and even higher and look over the other person. They constantly compete because of their inferiority complex.
Step by step till you're stepping up my nose LOL!
But why in Toyotas grave mind wouldn’t they make it available with the same macadamia/cream interior as the non-hybrid XLE?!? Would’ve made the car 10x more attractive (for me personally). I know it’s ridiculous but it’s a deal breaker for me
Same! I'm waiting to see if the 2024 has it. I want wind chill pearl with tan interior 😊
@@alaorilla9716 glad I’m not alone, I hate all black interiors! Hopefully they’ll add it because the Corolla hatchback has the macadamia interior with the same sport seats so I think it would be pretty manageable to produce the cross with the same interior
It’s because they used the se/xse trims which are supposed to be sporty as opposed to luxurious. I’m with you though, I’d prefer the full on softex interior as opposed to the mix interior
Most marked up toyota, market adjustment of almost 10 %
If it's for power and handling, Cx30 is the best in the segment. For efficiency, Corolla Cross is best
Cx30-25k -21mpg
Corolla cross-35k - 40mpg
Paying 10k more to save on fuel doesn’t make sense to me!
@@cyrusthegreat3081the highest trim cx30 with not turbo engine you need to pay at least 33k
@@netgarnet4337 i have compared cross hybrid prices!
I was going to buy the KIA Seltos X-Line, but after this review, I chose this vehicle instead.
I believe toyota hybrid is 6 months+ wait in So Cal...1 year for prius
It’s a econobox so the noise and vibration is typical with Toyota econoboxes
You kept mentioning Subaru Crosstrek, but that’s not a hybrid, so not a competitor. This is basically a Prius V replacement.
that looks like rurual maryland!
My sugar mama just bought me one today! ❤️
Yeah, only in your dreams! 🤣🤣🤣
Guys, what u think of its acceleration?
Great vehicle. Still with Federal EV tax breaks for Tesla, I take a Tesla instead.
Let's go a little further and have a scale, in your review, of how comfortable a vehicle is at varying heights. No?
