Why The Toyota Corolla Cross Is A Goldilocks SUV
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.ค. 2024
- The 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross splits the difference between SUVs that are more car-like and the ever-growing modern mid-size SUV. Where SUVs seem to be getting more gargantuan every year, Toyota brings its successful Asian crossover state side.
Propelled by the venerable 2.0L four popper making 169hp and mated to a CVT transmission, it won't be lighting up dragstrips anytime soon. But it does come with AWD available on every trim package from the afforable base L, to the fully loade XLE. While technically part of the Corolla family, the exterior evokes strong RAV4 vibes while the interior is more car-like. Unlike the Corolla, there is finally a very usable hatch area with the seats up. When the the second row is folded, there is more than enough cargo capacity for outdoor weekend getaways, or some light furniture hauling.

I love this Corolla Cross, my first car was a Toyota Corolla back in 1994. I lasted 7 years with that Toyota Corolla, it was a very reliable vehicle. And now the only reason why I don’t buy the Corolla Cross is because I have a Toyota Highlander already. I have had other brands of vehicles, but nothing beats a Toyota period.
You click baited us... I was so forward looking that Green paint . 👁
They only had one green one at the launch and about 24 of us...
Yes, that green color is why I clicked, too. So pretty.
It ant easy being green
Excellent informative review! Got what I wanted to know about the cross
If I was in the market for a smaller type of SUV / crossover, I would definitely buy this one with AWD.
Great review Eric! Thank you
I have a 17 Corolla, and I'm considering getting this one.
Great review. I think this would work for my needs. Looks better than the sedan. It's 12k less than a 4runner and gets twice the MPG.
Eric you did a terrific job here 😎👍👏 and yes I am considering this vehicle(in the sonic gray)xle. I'm pretty much sold at this point and saving for the purchase. Also glad you got in the back cuz I keep hearing people say how big 8t is but with you in there I definitly know the size(and that's with the seats up 😎👌 thanks for your review, appreciate you.
Glad you enjoyed this!
Introducing, new for 2022: The Corolla Tacoma 4x4, the Corolla Supra Turbo, the Corolla Camry Hybrid Corolla, and the C O R O L L A, which is just a bigger and wider regular Corolla.
hahahahahaha
Forgot the Corolla TRD pro
Corolla PRIME hybrid with plug in electric battery!
@@foxtayle683 I think we may see one in year 3.
Corolla Camry hybrid Corolla ....😂😂😂😂 🙏
Very good review. Thanks for sharing. I like the 8" ground clearance. But looks like there is no back up camera.
There is a back up camera. There is a mandate that requires it for all new vehicles sold in the US.
I think i might recommend this to my dad his old ford escape is starting rust underneath and it's almost got 130k miles. He doesn't trust the new escape with the turbo. So this should be a good choice for him and it's about the same size of his old ford escape.
Great review! You covered all the bases I'd have been interested in. I'm currently on a hiatus from Toyota after having owned three Corollas prior to my current Subaru Impreza hatch (which I love) but definitely plan to test-drive an AWD XLE version of one of these once they start arriving at my local dealership. There's just something about Toyotas that I keep getting drawn back to...
This will probably last a long time
It's the reliability and the stronger brand name associated with trust
Definitely would like this when not driving my Toyota truck.
I like the AWD with 16' rims with all-terrain tires...
I got mine lastnight I love it le awd has great acceleration and the ride is so smooth sound system is great
Great to hear!
How was the pricing? I heard dealers are charging thousands over MSRP
Great review just ordered mine in le and in this color
How long is the wait?
@@usa174 was told about 2-4 weeks @ Longo Toyota
@@alejandragamboa2896 Oh that's not bad. I've been reading about supply issues. Congrats and enjoy!
I think the photos at 13:16 between L and LE are switched
Thanks for the review.
The more I see of this vehicle the more I like it. This is going to be massive for Toyota, probably going to eventually be a "hatchback" and/or CR-V killer, can't imagine Toyota
continuing all three platforms. I had a Matrix for 16 years and finally got rid of it last year. I really went "rogue" and ended up getting a used Jeep Renegade which
at times makes me question my sanity, but I wanted something "more fun" at the cost of reliability. If this had been around last year I would have taken a serious look at it.
I think this will also bring some people "back to the barn" that might have strayed over to Honda, Subaru, Kia, etc. I think you are right, it is "just right'.
We too have a Matrix and it's an ''04 bought used, been driving it for about 8 years. Excellent little car, super reliable and it scoots pretty good for basically a Corolla h/b. I am pretty confident this Corolla Cross will be that replacement Matrix vehicle people like myself have been waiting for. Something roomy, compact, peppy, reliable, highly functional and good mpg .
By the way, how was your Jeep Renegade? was it troublesome? how was the mpg? resale value?
@@tonya.1697 Funny you should ask! I'm actually going right now to pick it up from my local mechanic after waiting for it for 4 days! The alternator crapped out, he ordered the wrong replacement twice in a row, finally got the right one yesterday and finished it up today. Another time, the clutch fluid line became "unclipped"(its a manual), clutch pedal went down to the floor so had to have it towed back to dealer. A few months ago the AC stopped working(O Ring leaks on back of compressor) $800 plus repair. Would I do it again, knowing what I know now? No, it's not worth the aggravation. When it's working, it's a fun car to drive, but in 18 mos I've already had more trips to the shop than in 16 years with my Toyota.
@@jaykay6387 yah , i get it. I gave up on buying new or used American vehicles after my last one from 1995, Chevy Beretta. Kept 3 years, a few stupid issues. Went back to strictly Buy japanese.
I’m sure there are some very good American products, but I’m content with new or well used Toyota, Honda and current Nissan.
Others around me mostly kept buying American and go thru transmission problems, electrical, fluid leaks, alternator, computer software issues, water leaks….meanwhile i just do routine maintenance, gas up and go, replace wear and tear high milage parts as needed. Often able to do it myself.
And bonus, i get good resale value because i looked after and the vehicles i buy are highly sought after Japanese beaters ( Civic, matrix, dodge colt, nissan pickup, corolla SR5s, etc) Might be boring vehicles to some, but they run good, cheap to maintain and insure, gas up and go.
Good luck on your future vehicle purchase, whatever you choose. 😉👍
@@tonya.1697 Unfortunately, I didn't learn my lesson from my Saturn fiasco from the mid nineties when I bought into that BS. That thing was in the shop more than it was on the road and I swore "never again". Right after that I bought the Matrix, but once again tempted fate with the Jeep (even my mechanic warned me before I did it), so I have nobody to blame but myself.
I always think, "how bad can a car be"?, and the answer is pretty goddam bad!
I live in Southern Ontario and have been driving front wheel drive vehicles since 1978. That includes 12 Toyotas since 1996 … 2 Siennas, 3 Echos/Yaris’, Corolla, Terrell, Matrix and one 2010 Rav4. I currently have a 2015 Yaris. We get some pretty severe winter weather and I have never needed all wheel drive. Personally I think it’s just a marketing gimmick to gouge a few extra bucks out of the consumers’ pockets. I am looking at the new Corolla Cross now as my next vehicle, however I am going to wait until the hybrid model does become available. Plug-in Hybrid would be better. I’m not giving Toyota an extra 13 or14 or $1500, whatever it’ll be in Canada, just to have all wheel drive.
I’m not seeing a RAV4 vibe … more of a mini Highlander. The lines are smoother than the RAV4. I actually like it somewhat better than the RAV4. Although I’d like to see a premium level with some additional options that are available on the RAV4 put onto the Cross.
This is going to be my last ICE /Hybrid vehicle before going fully electric by 2027/8 I suspect.
I'm from Toronto ;)
I agree KA1133....I do not want to pay for something I do NOT need....ie AWD...$1300 cost...Hybrid SUVs should be getting more than 36 MPG. Shoot, with the naturally aspirated gas engine...40+MPH is reachable....And these terrible "add ons" such as increased dealer fees are way out of line...I don't care about the chip shortage...the auto dealers are gouging everyone.
I agree. I'm from Toronto. I still own my FWD 2005 Camry. No issues. Almost 17 years old with over 350,000 kms. AWD is not needed. Marketing Kool-Aid.
My family has been a Toyota family for the past 42 years for the most part: exception One caddy, 2 Fords, One Honda, One Mazda. Had 2 Corollas, One Pick-up, One Prizm, 5 Avalons, one Matrix and One Vibe and all have been extremely reliable. My SUV could go the way of this car but I wished it had the 8 speed trans as I do not like our Honda's CVT trans.
Yes looks very good and more room for your belongings.
I can't wait to get the specs so I can compare this XLE AWD to the Hyundai Kona Limited AWD. Big price increase for Hyundai, but the 1.6 Turbo with DCT has 195 HP and a 10" screen with Navigation (not available here). I am guessing it all comes down to availability when my 2019 Kona lease is up in November! Kona SUV are made in Korea. Where are these SUV manufactured? Right now, there's no cars to see as dealers have no stock!
Bought mine a year ago ❤❤❤
I wish that center display was about 1 inch lower.
I recently purchased hybrid model, initial acceleration is ok but overall can’t complain; very comfortable drive to state the least
No hybrid in the US for the first year, but I'm sure they will bring it soon
@@revmatchtv forgot to mention I’m based in UAE where the model is available
I like it! 😊
I plan on buying the hybrid model next year when it goes on sale.
I think the hybrid is the one to get for efficiency.
Does this have the kinda hollow sound of the corolla? I've always found the RAV much more quiet
Hollow sound? I don’t recall any. The Cross is not loud unless you’re mashing the throttle.
SUV = all-wheel drive. people need them in snow-filled areas of the country.
CUV = a car with a 'high' ceiling in them, making it easy for old-people/fat-people to get in and out of them, and for everyone to get a better view of the road ahead. But that 'jacked-up' vehicle has more wind resistance, giving it less fuel efficiency.
I’ve had 3 Corollas. I’m going to check the Corolla Cross out when it hits the dealership.
If you like the idea of a bigger Corolla, this fits the bill. It's much more usable than the hatch or sedan.
I would spend a couple extra grand and get the RAV4.
@RevMatchTV: Heated steering wheel on XLE?
I'm not sure. Best thing is to build one on the Toyota website.
@@revmatchtv Canada only. Not available in the U. S.
Could be a good replacement for my Pontiac Vibe
Anything would be a good replacement for your Pontiac Vibe
@@homelessmillionaire1 vibe a matrix were are are great little cars
Toyota could have added a visible Dual tip exhaust
They're not aiming for sport yet. Maybe whe they release the S trim levels like XSE.
love everything except the CVT only thing.
CVT gets good mileage, but it's not a driver focused car
Everything has a CVT now - corolla, civic, cr-v, forester, nissan rogue, even accord. Only rav4 is holding out.
@@drivingontheright The Rav4's are probably better in the long run
Unfortunately cvt is the future. Deal with it
@@brokenSnake I am. By not purchasing cvt autos. autos n manuals aren't phased out yet. Was surprised the crosstreck offers a manual. very nice! 👍
The clip at 0:33 is hilarious!!!
Think I just witnessed my next new car. Trading up a more powerful car, but looking to save on gas and money so this may be it. Even the xle trim of cross is under 28k or meeting that amount.. we’ll see with markups on every single car these day 😩. If this ends up being over 30k I can get a rav4 xle for 29-30k I have very good positive equity on my current ride so it will all work out just fine 😎
So Fast Foward to Goldilocks will these prices be offered in near future with the chip shortage, supply chain ,,,,,,ETC, ETC, ETC and when as I am in no rush and when the Dealers Parking Lots are full, PleaseAdvice, and Thanks.
Is this classic silver or celestite? Kinda hard to tell at times
I had access to multiple cars. It was both colors in the video
@@revmatchtv How about at the start of the video?
@@Soundwavextreme Classic silver
I work on the assembly line for this car and I’m kind of shocked that you reviewed it
Is this car going to suffer from assembly issues?
At the new Huntsville plant?
@@revmatchtv Yes, sir!
@@ragnarok67 Awesome!
@reliant Is there still a shortage of toyota vehicles?
This looks very promising built on a corolla platform ...wish if they can add AWD to corolla TRD may be
Maybe down the line. It's a great size.
It would be nice if the regular corolla or the hybrid had more than just dead squirrel road clearance. Even an extra chipmunk in height would be appreciated. It's tough to straddle even an opossum in a corolla . I would like to see a slightly lifted corolla prime one day with a somewhat lower mounted info display. If you are short it's sort of a view blocker..
So this basically has similar specs to the original 1st gen Rav4. Lol
It's a similar size actually. Yes - SUVs have gotten massive. I like this size for urban duties.
Yup and that was a great car during it's time.
Does it have a remote start?
It has Remote Connect via your phone so it's possible, but I don't recall them mentioning it in the presentation.
@@revmatchtv okay, thanks. I’m done with car shopping. This was hard to get! I got something else.
Just to point out here, if you are a sane driver FWD with good 4 season or snow tires will do you just fine. You can have 4 wheel drive or six wheel drive if the rubber won't stick it won't mater. If you drive over uneven surfaces where one drive wheel will lose contact with the ground then it makes sense to have more then two driving wheels.
Proper tires are actually more important than number of driven wheels in snow. All seaons are the ultimate poor compromise. They don't do anything particularly well, except last a long time and are usually less expensive. If you're in the snow, get snow tires!
2022 civic or cross I'm stuck between
Totally different vehicles! Here's my Civic review th-cam.com/video/6d8IfFfmtgk/w-d-xo.html
COROLLA CROSS OR SANTA CRUSE BOTH CLOSE IN PRICE WITH AWD DONT KNOW ONE IS BETTER THEN THE OTHER JUST TOWING CROSS ONLY 1500 LBS CRUSE IS 3500 LBS
Try 3 "trims" not "grades". Hybrid will bring over 40+ MPG next year. Pricing may be an issue. Knowing Toyota they may increase the price of the RAV4 thus being able to price this accordingly. Too bad the 2nd row is not flat with the cargo area.
Toyota likes the term 'grades'. It's an odd thing tbh. A hybrid is definitely on the way and that's the one to get for best economy.
MSRP in Taiwan is $RM 137,000 , so about $34K USD plus destination floor mats , other stuff like dealers stiffing you etc.
@@markbajek2541 For that price I will buy a RAv4Hybrid in the US. Better yet a CX-5
It’s kinda ironic that the rest of the world gets a hybrid model of the Corolla Cross before the United States… Seems more like Japan, Canada and South Africa get first dibs… Why is that even an issue nowadays?
I don't really know much about their rollout strategy, but I do know they intend to ramp up production as much as they can and they will absolutely bring a hybrid to the US.
It's 47 outside right now.....
👏🏻👏🏻
Saturating the market what next an Aygo cross
Toyota is in business to sell a ton of vehicles. I’m fine with this because the SUV sales fund the cool cars.
It would be Goldilocks if it didn't have that giant hump with back seats folded down. You can't put a sleeping bag back there, unless you go to a lot of trouble to build a platform to create a flat surface. Not Goldilocks in my book. It is a cute car though. Btw, why does Toyota make their steering so loosey goosey? I test drove a CH-R, and when I had to make a left turn, that car almost made a donut.
Not a small price for what you get. I like it but it's not a good value. If you want all wheel drive, get a Crosstrek.
Starts at low 20s… AWD is $1300 for any trim level. Crosstrek is very competitive I agree.
Why is there no value at those great prices under $30k?
CX-30 is the same price and you get way more and it has more of a luxury interior.
@@foxtayle683 CX-30 and this compete very directly. At entry level neither cabin is luxury.
@@revmatchtv you don’t think the CX-30 feels like a little luxury?
No hybrid trim = no interest. Ordered RAV4 Hybrid limited instead
I think we'll see a hybrid in the near future. Toyota has said as much.
@@revmatchtv can't wait that long, civic is about to fall apart and I have a a new wife from Japan to drive around
Throw in 3S-GTE for good measure
Those times are long gone...
@@revmatchtv well we can be wistful eh??
You seem to be sitting in a pit or hole. Way too low. Does the seat go up and down ?
Yes it does
Still wouldn't buy any car with a CVT unless it's an ECVT.
What's your thinking behind this?
@@revmatchtv If I tell you it's based on real world experience or repair statistics, then the debate would never end. Instead, I would just ask a very simple question: why auto makers only put CVTs in their low end high volume cars, but almost always equip their luxury lines of vehicles with hydraulic automatic gear box? They want to maximize profit by giving you a cheap CVT, and reserve the more expensive 8 speed or the latest 10 speed auto box to Lexus.
@@kevinw1090 Of course. You pay more you get a more premium product. No surprise. My question is why eCVT vs CVT?
@@revmatchtv The only common thing between ECVT and CVT is that they both do no have physical gears. ECVT is a electric motor. Hybrid vehicle motors are more related to electric cars. Obviously, hybrid is not 100% electric because its torque can come from both the electric motor and the ICE at the same time. Toyota has been making hybrid for so so many years. I never had any issues with their ECVT.
Corolla Cross hybrid gas milage... 34-38MPG, Honda Accord Hybrid gas milage 49mpg. huh?
far from it i'm afraid, its mpg is pathetic at 32 highway at its best on a fwd its sloooow.
I'd love to see this with the Camry 2.5 and 8 speed auto or dare i say a V6
32 mpg is pathetic for a naturally aspirated, non-hybrid SUV? What SUV in this class is far better? This starts in the low 20s...
32 for a non-hybrid is really good…
Yah man sales man from toyota🤭
It's ok! Hope they not turning into mitsubishi
Oh heck no! Toyota has the GR brand which they keep adding very good products too.
I avoid Ford at all costs! This vehicle is excellent for city driving and occasional trips! I'm retired looking to purchase one...
Toyota can't seem to make these... There is ONE in SoCal... IF you pre-order, you have to wait 3-4 months... Sorry, no test drives... Nothing available to look at or drive.
PREDICTION... These will be out of style, before Toyota can actually deliver many.
✌️👏👍👌
Great video.
I recommend you upgrade your attire.
Thanks for the fashion advice!
There is nothing wrong with his attire, we are watching this video to get some information about this new car, not the way he dress up.
Heterosexual men don't care how he is dressed. Stay in your closet!
He's dressing for comfort, He's in the heat and humidity of Austin for the presser, besides it's a good example of knee room.
We need Toyota Avalon SUV ...
Toyota already has a load of SUVs!
Looks like an unattractive lifted family station wagon, & the top $32K+ XLE trim still looks like a $19K budget Crossover. No thanks personally, but I'm sure it will still sell like hotcakes for Toyota USA.
The XLE with AWD costs like 26k. I would buy this over any competitor if I was in a market for one.
@@pkingpure100 Have fun with that. The factory is shipping all the XLE fully loaded with packages, etc. so the pricing is closer to $30-32K. Considering how much trouble my TNGA 2020 Corolla SE Sedan was that I traded in last month after only 2.5 years of ownership, not sure I trust modern-day Toyota's commitment to quality.
If you're gonna get a beefed up car grab a Mazda CX-30 instead. It has more bang for your buck. It's a Mazda 3 on steroids. I think most people would pick a 3 over a Corolla.
I don't disagree with your assessment, but sales figures tell that the Corolla VASTLY outsells the 3 nearly 10 to 1 if you include the hatch and the sedan. The CX-30 is nicer, but the Corolla Cross has more cargo space.
I tested a CX-30 and was NOT impressed with the cabin space. Mazda focuses on faux "luxury" interior and in that they do pretty well, but the Corolla Cross is more practical while still looking good. I think the sales numbers speak for themselves and most people have actually been choosing the Corolla Cross, not the CX-30.
@@JA-rn5qv The CC isn’t at dealers quite yet, but I have no doubt it will sell well.
@@revmatchtv That depends on what country you are in. They've been at dealers in Peru since July.
@@JA-rn5qv Indeed. It’s been available in certain Asian countries for about a year. In the US, these will be made at a new assembly plant in Huntsville, AL.
Gas cars are dead. Didn't you hear about that!. These cars are dead in the water.
Gas cars aren’t dead according to anyone except Tesla, Rivian, Lucid and a handful of Chinese manufacturers. We’re on a 10-15 year transition timeline as I’m sure you’re fully aware.
The network for electric isn’t mature. And I’m sure no manufacturer would continue to make cars that are dead.
I hate the “open mouth” grill. Toyota should get rid of those. It is fking ugly
Current design language. Toyota sells more SUVs with this front end on the RAV4 than anyone else. I expect we’ll see this continue for a while through the industry.
How about the cute kissing mouth of Mazda?
Or u could wear nicer clothes.
Barry. You aren’t a nice man.
Heterosexual men don't care how he is dressed. Stay in your closet!
same ugly front grill
Toyota is playing it safe in the styling department.
