For those who couldn't finish watching the video on the 2023 Toyota Prius Prime, here is a link to the new video: th-cam.com/video/HddsIhRUrbk/w-d-xo.html
I cancelled my 2023 Prius Hybrid booking and booked the Corolla Cross Hybrid XSE. Far more practical and spacious then the Prius.
Awesome reviews as always!
Great stuff man!
Great Review!!!!
Supreme video as always! Cheers mate!!!
Thank you!
In Sweden since 2019 Toyotas models (Yaris, Corolla, RAV4) are only offered as Hybrids because it makes absolute zero sense to pick a non-hybrid one this day of age.
Can’t wait for your Corolla Cross vs RAV4 Hybrid comparison!
have both, there the same thing. the rav4 has like 22 more hp and little more torq, a 3500 pound tow rating vs 1500 with the cross. the rav is just a bit nicer thats it. they both average 41 to 42 mpg. this 196hp vs rav4 219. they both performed excellent in very bad snow road weather. there both build very cheaply. any small hits a deer or anything is going to total the car being an aluminum frame...
Great video , Next year when I’m done with my lease off the cx30 I’m going to try a Corolla hybrid. Thanks
I'm looking forward to your comparison video between the Toyota Cross & Rav 4 Hybrid. Best gas mi for work & comfort for trips. Back seat leg & head room for 6'3" . Do they both come with a spare tire?
Fantastic review, especially for your fluent presentation and perfect summary for each aspect of this car, which sounds like you are reading a carefully prepared script while you are actually driving. As a Chinese consumer, I am so jealous that the US has the AWD edition that can accelate much faster than the FWD edition.
Have you tried the toyota urban cruiser glx? If so what is your opinion?
Been waiting for the this model to come to the US.
Like yout video, straight to the points, practical info, in about 10 minutes
Thank you!
I love Shari.
Exceptional good value for the money! Looks soo good!
Awesome price!!!! 😮
Long delivery 😔
we got our 2023 corolla cross se in Sept.and love it. We have just over 5000 kms on it.
This is a great option in its class. It reminds of a value version of the Lexus UX, with a bit less decadence!
Yes but much more space inside!
@@carhelpcorner if that's what you want. Here in the Western Mountains, we enjoy and need a vehicle that is smaller, lighter and nimble, which is a character we enjoy with the UX. I'm a Colin Chapman fan and former Lotus owner, "Adding power makes you faster on the straights. Subtracting weight makes you faster everywhere" (C. Chapman)
We rarely drive with more than 2 pax.
I happen to find your TH-cam channel and I love watching your videos! Do you have reviews for BZ4X and RAV4 prime?
Thank you! BZ4X coming soon. I'm trying to test a RAV4 Prime but I have videos on the RAV4 Hybrid and Venza 👍
As always great info. Any chance on a side by side comparison of the Corolla Cross Hybrid and the Corolla Hybrid AWD? And Corolla Cross Hybrid vs RAV4 Hybrid? I'm trying 5o figure out which one I'll buy. Mist interested in reliability and resale value.
For sure RAV4 Hybrid vs Cross Hybrid video coming 👍
@@carhelpcorner excellent. You can always throw in some Corolla hybrid AWD comparisons mixed in the RAV4 Hybrid vs Corolla Cross Hybrid. Other than not being an SUV there are probably some points to be made in comparing it to the other two vehicles.
I’m getting my Hybrid XSE in about 4 weeks. It’s white and doesn’t seem to have the black roof. I went in to get the standard XLE, I got there and the dealer told me the XLE was going to take about 2months to arrive but they already have hybrid XSE coming in in 4 weeks. I’m so glad I opted for that option. I paid a deposit to lock it down and can’t wait to take delivery. The amazing thing is my dealer is selling it at MSRP in GA, USA.
Thank you, you have a new subscriber.🎉
You don't know how lucky you are! When I asked, I was told 5-8 months. Down to 3 months now. So frustrating.
How does it compare to the Venza hybrid?
This is a car I'd be interested in. I've owned Toyota's for about 25 years off and on and I'm driving a Toyota Tacoma now. Toyota's a great choice for anyone.
I needed help. buying 2023 LE cross while waiting for hybrid cross. I needed help. thanks
Excellent car. I love it.
It’s not affordable, the Lexus is on par with cost .
Still a 1-2+ year waiting list for current Toyota hybrids. What’s the point?
I am somewhat optimistic that this may be my next car. The dealership where I recently test drove a regular (gas version) Cross, I think they were tacking on $3,000 of "market adjustment." Which is nothing compared to the $10,000 market adjustment another dealer was tacking onto a Rav4 last fall. I really hope if I like this car I can get it for a fair deal.
Fair deal always will be the MSRP. Good luck. Hope you get the car at the MSRP ..
Don’t pay the additional mark up you’re being a victim of a greedy dealer. Check around other dealers that are not applying this BS mark up. Buyer beware
Toyota cannot supply cars for their current line up. When will these actually show up at dealers?
They will start arriving in June
@@carhelpcorner and Don't forget the $10k mark up AKA..RIP OFF ADJUStMENT IF if you can locate one..just like the prius..$10k MARK UP for a XLE /FWD😆😆🤑.toyota has big plans for all the morons who pay for mark ups.
@@carhelpcorner I booked Corolla cross LE model which is coming on April end or May 1stweek ....Is it good to wait for a cross hybrid vehicle ?
Yes! Hybrid’s driving dynamics and gas mileage are way better than the gas version. If you don’t mind how the gas version drives though, you’ll get it much quicker! Would suck for you to have to wait all over again!
@@carhelpcorner when is the booking will start/open...dealership saying no idea at all
Rav4 hybrid will be better option?, good review 👍 thanks
RAV4 Hybrid vs Corolla Cross Hybrid video coming 👍
What size gas tank please
Wish the grill wasn’t so big! Plus the stripes along inner side of seat really bug me on XSE which is the level I want. Wish it was ventilated softex instead.
Been on the wait list for one of these for a while but still haven't seen any news about when they are coming to Canada
First ones arrive at dealers in June
@@carhelpcorner 😂 first ones for customers will be June 2026
@@mikej238 Worth the wait though to have a Toyota Hybrid.
My dealer has one coming in first week of July in USA and I’ve paid a deposit to lock it down. Can’t wait… and the amazing thing is they aren’t adding anything extra to the MSRP value.
How do u compare Mistsubishi to this
Currently driving a 2022 Hyundai Kona Limited. Our other car is a 2023 Toyota Camry XLE AWD (1 month old). Both leased. I may be looking at the Cross Hybrid in the future when my current Kona lease is ending and not just lease another Hyundai. Prices on new Hyundai SUV are getting ridiculous now.
Can you address the non-spare tire ?
Living in LA and having no kids, this is the perfect sized hybrid for us.
The Corolla Cross hybrid addresses the main faults of the Mazda CX-5, less than economical fuel economy, and skimpy interior space. It retains the bottom-feeder grille, although hopefully allowing more road clearance in the front. The black roof is a really dumb idea in the American south, southwest and California. Will test-drive one and see if I can convince my wife.
But the driving experience is superior in cx5
what a pity that you don't do Suzuki cars in Canada/ the US
Why does Toyota Canada say the mileage of the Corolla Cross Hybrid is 6.4 l/100 km? What mileage did you get while you were driving it? I am comparing to the Niro Hybrid which gets 4.5 l/100 km
Toyota just updated the rating to 5.6L/100km which is easily achievable. I'd say forget the Niro. The Corolla Cross is a far better value and a safer choice for longevity.
@@carhelpcorner the problem is the Niro is available now and the Cross isn’t even listed as an available vehicle on the Toyota website.
Do you have any information on when it may be available? My 2012 Prius V is getting old with 330000 km and I’m afraid the hybrid batteries might give out.
it's a good low budget SUV, and a good sub for the RAV4 prime if you can't afford that SUV
Best value for
Will the awd do good enough in the snow ?
With good winter tires absolutely
Not much different than FWD. Northern states sand and salt the piss out of all the roads anyway. And run plows 24/7 when its snowing outside.
Most Toyotas are available at the small town dealerships here in the Midwest. And at sticker price, not mark ups.
Share the dealers if you can! I'm sure many consumers would appreciate this and would love to buy from them.
Please suggest between
Prius Prime vs Corolla Cross
not valid to compare a subcompact car to a suv, come on mang....
Review the Trax 2024 bro
İ have the blue one, perfect suv , just like a jeep
I want to buy the base model but a bad point for me is that they are coming with halogens Headlights and not LED.
Barely matters... halogens have been fine for decades. What's worse is that it doesn't have a rear wiper which means you can't see out the back in bad weather.
to me it's sized right...I prefer the more nimble to the more cargo
You’ll have to wait a year to get one. Toyota still experiencing major delays in the hybrid production, no parts, chips and hybrid battery shortages. Ongoing 3 years.
but doesnt the cvt engine suck?
Most of us drive low mileage daily. Wastage money depreciation, maintenance
the problem is buying one in stock with the right colors without 5000 dealership markup.
Here's to never being able to find this model in stock just like the Rav4 hybrid for the next 2-3 years
By the way. Does this have a spare tire?
No such thing as a hybrid car that has a spare. You're too weak to be able to accomplish that anyway. Its why you have that can of fix a flat on top of your spare tire.
Would prefer a plug-in hybrid.
Toyota should put 50% of resources in building this vehicle alone.
I agree
I like it its now slightly larger than the original RAV4. I think now its a better value than the RAV4
I've been waiting for this car to come out. I currently drive a Corolla Hatchback and would like a slightly bigger car that provides comparable gas mileage. However, I've heard there is no spare tire, so I will probably wait a couple of years and hope for a redesign.
you wont ever see a spare tire on hybrids. it needs the space for the huge batteries. also being a chick, yur never going to change a tire anyway, be real here. just use a $10 can of fix a flat
@@srobeck77 Nonsense. My 2002 Toyota Prius had a spare tire and my 2018 Honda Accord Hybrid also has a spare tire. I have AAA and they come when I call. Fix a Flat is useless when your tire is slashed, which I have experienced.
@@karenpike2420 nah, plus u couldnt use it either way. Be real
I suppose you could always just buy a spare and keep it in the back, flat in a carboard box... or braced up against a side. Not ideal, but most days you wouldn't fill the back anyway.
@@A_A_J. Thanks for the suggestion.
This video sounds like a commercial…not a real review…
In what way is this car inexpensive or "affordable " lol? That term is used too liberally when it's actually a very relative term.
Well it is the least expensive AWD hybrid SUV you can buy
Its one of cheapest SUV on the market. In the future, go ahead and do a 30 sec google search before posting and looking like a fool next time. Youre welcome, in advance.
Starts at 29k add your 4k toyota "market adjustment" and you're looking at the price of a top of the line corolla cross for saving "$500" a year in gas.
The dealer where I recently test drove a regular Cross gas model was tacking on a $3,000 market adjustment.
No market adjustment pricing where I live. Thats prolly just some media hype you read about somewhere and believed it.
Just bought a 2023 Cross Hybrid. No "dealer markup at all. Great start to what i'm sure will be many years of great driving.
Too long Queue
Either Toyota cut-off some models or increase industrial capacity
They keep pushing the date back further and further, and the mpg is kinda low for it's size.
38-45 mph is low?! No more drunk posting, lady plz?
This is better than overpriced Rav 4 hybrid
While the eloquent praises of this model are well appreciated it would be more meaningful if you add what you like and what you don't like in this model to the video . Corollas are known for their road noise
( own 2 of them currently) and this has to be highlighted in the video for a better overall coverage of this product from Toyota.
You should discuss safety packages when you review.
I thought I was going to buy one. I went to the dealership, only to find out, if you are 6'2" it is really, really too small. When I sat down in the driver's seat, and my knees were still bent, I went to move the seat back only to find it could not be moved back any further! What?! :( Then I got out to see how that position affected the back seat? Guess what? The seat back was up against the front of the back seat cushion! So, even if I could manage to sit in the front, no one would be able to sit behind me! In the end, If you can't go to the airport and pick up 2 people and their bags and drive them home, then that is a fail for me. I really like your reviews, but I wish you would be more careful and complete with actual real world dimensions. This car is not will not be utilitarian unless you are no more than 5'9 or 5'10 max, or a fairly smallish hobbit, elf, fairy or leprechaun. Apparently size does matter, who knew?
Hmm odd because I have spoken to buyers around 6' that are perfectly comfortable in the Corolla. This is great feedback to hear though for sure.
I have the RAV4 hybrid and it’s a little the same. But it’s not an insurmountable problem.
My dad fits in a corolla sedan comfortably (he owns one) and he has no problem fitting and he is over 6 foot tall, there is also still a somewhat decent amount of rear legroom behind where he would sit in front comfortably
If yur 6'2" why are you looking at a subcompact suv based off the tiny Corolla car? Seems obvious now in hindsight, ya....
@@srobeck77 My 6ft 2ins friend easily fits into his Toyota Corolla Cross.
no spare tire
zero hybrids have a spare. u new to the internet or somethin?
You're not actually driving the car that you are reviewing. That is very questionable.
Too pricey little car.. And don’t forget the Toyota dealership markups!
You have to change your delivery style. Sounds robbotic.
U have to use some emojis to avoid posts that are robot 🤖
I want more leg room in the back
than dont buy a subcompact suv? seems obvious now in hindsight, ya? wow.....
I currently own a '15 Kia Soul, a subcompact with 39.1" of rear legroom.
I’d look into Lexus much nicer interior . Cross is not a suv.
Everyone doesn’t have the money to afford Lexus. So this would be a cheaper alternative. Of course Lexus interior is nicer, it’s a luxury car brand. That’s like comparing a Benz to a Honda.
Let me guess, this is a rich person flex?
You ain’t looking into shit, that’s why you’re on the Toyota channel
Ugly styling & a low-budget look to it.
Hahahaha 😂😂😂😂 I’m keeping laughing 😆 about how unaffordable Toyotas are. You think Toyotas are affordable cars? Nope. They are so expensive to start 26 grand bucks and look how sucks with a Toyota Corollas
so like the same price and usually cheaper than most cars being sold today. LOl you didnt think this one through very well here bruh.....
If you think 28k is expensive then ur broke
That is if you can get it for 28k
@@srobeck77 look at Mazda. Way more better than garbage Corolla. Corollas are way Too boring. Too slow cars. Worst interior design. Worst entertainment screen. And worst worst for everything and getting more expensive for this. Very well little fella
@@srobeck77 Toyota in Australia and Europe has more features and less expensive and way more efficient than American and Canadian models
@@majood245 wasnt a hybrid u genuis monkey
Affordable!!!
this is what inflation looks like.
