- The Corolla Cross Hybrid is all new and Toyota wants to destroy the competition. On the outside you will discover LED headlights, 18in wheels, and raised roof rails. On the inside you will be greeted by cloth interior, 8in infotainment screen & wireless charging. Under the hood is a 2.0L inline-4 paired with an electric motor producing 196HP. Is the 2023 Corolla Cross Hybrid a BETTER new SUV than a Honda HR-V?

10:40 raiti should do stand up comedy on the side. He always comes up with hilarious dialogues😂
Thanks for letting me share the laughs with you and the cars!
As always, great review, Joe. If I decide to replace my 2018 Rav4 Hybrid, this vehicle in XSE trim is definitely a possibility. The only thing is, good luck finding this vehicle (or most any other Toyota, especially hybrids) on dealership lots for sale. I wish that you, along with other reviewers would address this issue that has affected nearly every manufacturer, but in particular seems to be an unending one for Toyota and Lexus. And the supply chain excuse is growing old, especially now that we're approaching the halfway point of 2023, with 2024 models either here already or right around the corner.
Very good points David! Thanks for watching!
Great little vehicle……awesome mpg. Loved York peppermint patties ! 👍. I think the cargo net holder could hold a fish that you just caught……and you have the roof cross bars to hold the rods. Good selling point 😎 🐟 🎣
Joe and STEVEN thanks for bringing this COROLA CROSS HYBRID to us! LOV VE HYBRIDS. LOVE THIS car!NICE colors! I,ll see you guys on another ride. GLAD to share this video.
That really means so much Lester.
@@RaitisRideskkk
Epic Video Joe!
Happy to see a manufacturer finally furnish the press a mid-tier (SE) version to drive/review rather than a fully-loaded (ie, XSE) like they normally do lol. Looking forward to test-driving one of these as soon as they become available here in central Florida.
I totally agree with you Harrison
They have Eliminated the lower trim . The auto companies they order by trim & options that is what 90% of them are doing now
You could be waiting a long time. I've been waiting for one to show up at Toyota dealer near me. I was assured as soon as one is on way, I would get an email, pics and a call. It's been a couple months already and no sign of one. The poster above made an excellent point about auto manufacturers, dealer and even reviewers not addressing the elephant in the room. The Toyotas just aren't available, but you wouldn't know that by the TV commercials. In my market and I'm sure it is the same in most, Toyota has their commercials on every 5 minutes. It's annoying and doesn't address reality.
Glad you mentioned the dead space around the screen & rear view camera quality difference between trim lines.
🏁❣️ Thank you, Joe and Steven! 🤠❣️
Joe and Lori and keep up the good work and I love the video 👍
You got it man!
Keep up the good work
Hi Joe, love your reviews. Here's my 2 cents, I think its better to use the old-fashioned edison bulbs only cuz they're so much easier to pay for and swap out. i've seen so many LED bulbs that are out on cars every day and i'd hate to have to pay for the whole unit (unless you're ocd) vs swapping out a $10 bulb.
You can get the HRV in AWD. For $3-4k more you can get a CRV Sport Hybrid that's way bigger and has more power.
Unfortunately some people dont have those 3-4k ....they have to pick between more hp and space and food for the family
More power sure, but the Corolla cross hybrid is still quicker on account of weight
You have to remember for many who live and drive near cities, bigger isn’t necessarily better. It can be a real drag.
🇺🇸 *LIKE this new Corolla Cross Hybrid* !! *Difficult to choose between this or the HR-V* !! *Do prefer hybrids to full EV* !! *Wish the price was lower* !! *Wonderful content Joe and Steven* !! #RaitisRides 🇺🇸
I can understand where you are coming from on pricing!
I think most buyers will go the hybrid trim just to save extra fuel and I think at trim Toyota will profit more
Like the door trim. Agree on the AWD emblem. Should be in the back
Nice vacation on hawii enjoy yourself 💯💯
Nice review
nice two tone color matching and corolla cross engraving... but I like the front design of gasoline model more.. especially green color
Thanks for your thoughts on this one.
I really love the analog gauges 👌🏽
They are really clean.
Like the funny “Half Zonk” for the lower trim. You’re right though. It’s just okay. Might look weird without it. It’s not functional like the original purpose of protection from door-dings.
These look pretty nice for the money. Sadly, I just looked locally. I see our local dealers are still marking up all the toyotas from $1K to $8K (except the bZ4X which are discounted). I just can't imagine spending $42K on a corolla Cross XSE (which is all that's showing up for 50 miles). Even the Corolla Hybrid sedans are marked up $8K ☹
extra 8k could drove regual gas car for 5-7years lol
Europe will be receiving the ZR-V (the name for the North American Honda HR-V in Europe and Japan) with a hybrid powertrain.
It will use the same powertrain as the Civic e:HEV, which is 181hp and 232lbft of torque from a 2.0 hybrid setup. Front wheel drive is only offered in Europe, but consumers in Japan can opt for 4WD too.
That has always bothered me that Europe gets all the new models BEFORE America! The USA tends to be the larger market. Wise up Honda Toyota and Lexus. I might have to buy a Ford or Chevy! Just kidding.
Gotta Love that “All slip, no grip” action . C’mon Randi, it’s a family show!! LOL
LOL You crack me up!
Market adjustment?
The eCVT is different from standard CVT transmission. It has planetary gears and uses electric motors. Have one in my Avalon.
Toyota should have the LCD and they should be more generous for the seats. Toss the console cover for Pleather. Cloth vs Pleather at the SE level needs to be offered.
It’s a better SUV, period! Great video Joe!
I a, so glad that you like this one.
From one Italian to another. Saluti. Bel lavoro il video
Gratzi!
Joe Raiti thank you dude .
You are so very welcome!
Spare tire ???
Funny shaking of the vehicle with the roof rack. “…Looks like off-road”
Nice video! God bless you and hope you had a great Mother’s Day!
Toyota needs to make a Corolla Cross Prime(PHEV) 😤. With the XSE trim and AWD 🙂
I don't think that will happen.
that sounds like something that's gonna be in the 40k range
Wow, it offers a lot for the $$$. Of the ones you mentioned, this would be my choice, especially in that color.
DEFINITE VALUE WINNER
ENJOYED AND I LOVE THE SUV!!
I am so glad that you like this one.
Hi Joe ,like the corolla cross has it got a spare tire.regards
Thanks Terry for letting me share it with you!
I’m looking to replace my Blue Hyundai Tucson I like the gas mileage and the look and size👍
I´m glad that I can my 2022 Kia Sportage 1.6 L Turbo 180 HP 48 V mild Hybrid, 7 speed DCT, with a weight from 3600 lbs drive with over 40 mpg on the German Autobahn, whats the point of this full Hybrid with 38 mpg on the Highway?
? All slip no grip???? 😂 I’m on my way to buy one today. The base trim is perfect for my mom. Goodbye 2012 c250.
Good video, but there's a couple of points I'd make.
Commenting on the appearance of the front of the vehicle is fine, but don't you have a licence plate on the front as well as the rear? That's going to make a difference.
Given that this is on the Internet and the World Wide Web, this will be viewed around the globe. I'm British viewing this in Thailand. We're used to converting from miles per US gallon to miles per UK gallon (about 20% more) or litres per 100 km. Plus, cubic feet to litres. When it comes to the size of the storage under the centre armrest using a camera and your hand might be best to show the size. I've no idea if the size of the items you mention, although that may help US viewers.
I have to say those fuel consumption figures look very good. Hybrids seem like a good compromise for those who regularly have to travel longer distances or don't have access to a reliable and widespread charging infrastructure.
I'll check out your video on the higher spec Corrola Cross.
It depends on the state.
I would mention that there is a real spare (donut) tire included with the car. Alot of manufactueres are not including them with Hybrid models.
They probably put the AWD on the side because there is already FOUR! other!! labels on the back.
One thing I’ve always found funny about car companies’ decisions to do that.
Corolla
Cross
SE
Hybrid
…
AWD
i would love to have the Yaris Cross in the us
What up Joe? Toyota Let's Go!!!
I was really interested in this until I heard you say you are 6' tall. I'm 6'4" and 250. It looks to me like I'd be cramped. I'm currently in a Jeep Patriot and I don't think this will be my new SUV. I need more room than this.
Please do the fully loaded XSE version 🎉 if possible please 🙏
I already have Eric!
@@RaitisRides oh wow thank you! 😁
Excellent
I prefer the HR-V design but this Toyota sips fuel and it's not very expensive.
Wow amazing
Dunno why toyota did not give us rear amber turn signals like on all other markets outside n. America....they are safer snd really do not cost more as they already on the vehicle outside this market.
fr!!! idk why they omit them, the brake lights/ turn signals are so small compared to the other market crosses...I'd hope those are plug n play and maybe try to buy and ship over here lol
For the same money I would go Prius but I don't need AWD or the extra room.
I’m agonizing over which to get. Prius for fuel economy but Cross Hybrid for seat height and cargo. I’m not liking the idea of needing to adjust seat in Prius so I can see if everything but then will probably hit my head when exiting.
Hey Raiti! What kind of car(s) do you own? Have you ever purchased a vehicle that you've reviewed? Which car is undeniably fun to drive over all others?
I have just recents bought a Type R. Yes I have
@@RaitisRides how many cans of pringles fit in the type R glove box 🤔
@@RaitisRides Nice!
@@Dr.PussNballs Literally, 25% of me watches this channel to hear about the Twinkies and Snickers. LOL
I like the design of the new Prius, but the low head room and compromised backseat space drives me to the Corolla Cross Hybrid.
That makes sense.
Joe have you heard about the AC Cobra GT roadster?
correct
Yes I have.
@@RaitisRides I’m wondering if it’s going to be here in the USA but however it’s only done through reservation. Close to 300k I think.
@@RaitisRides and the pedal box on the manual
PERFECT FOR HEEL TOE DOWNSHIFTING!
Good review of a car that meets its purpose. 32K makes you think some of these 100K vehicles you test not seem so expensive now.
This is very true Alan!
22:46 all slip, no grip 😂
I wish that the front end and rear end looked more like the gorgeous Corolla Hatchback as this Corolla Cross is still a little generic looking. Other than that it's a real winner and I'd like to see this hybrid system in more and more Toyotas and even other brands like Mazda and Subaru. Honestly I'd really like a Prius Cross that looks like the upcoming Crown Sport, that car is absolutely gorgeous but might not be coming to the US.
Thanks for your thoughts on this one.
Some chrome would have made this vehicle pop too much flat black on this vehicle it would have been nice to see some chrome finish especially on the fender. Also not digging the roof racks on a vehicle with a sunroof. If they wanted roof racks on this vehicle it would have been better to not have a sunroof or if they wanted a sunroof then don’t put roof racks on it. It just doesn’t work for me to have both.
Too bad they keep the tiny multimedia screen in North America. In Europe the Corolla Cross hybrid has a huge 12' screen.
That is a very good point!
Perfect
I like this vehicle the blue crush is attractive lacks LED lighting and the flat back along the bottom and around the wheel wells is a definite zonk!
I like the color on it! I must buy one bestie.
I'm pretty sure Joe the HR-V comes with AWD. Did you mean it doesn't come standard with AWD like the Corolla Cross Hybrid does?
Thanks you
You are so very welcome!
First like and watch. I have same one but regular gas.
The flat black that needs to go that should be body paint it
Agreed
I guess for price point I’m ok with it but color matched is always better
u can watch launching of all new YARIS CROSS 2023 for asia market. the car compeplity new. using DNGA. yaris cross is head2head with honda hrv
Very good
You gloss over if there is space for a spare tire or if it comes with one.
I almost bought one earlier this year.
Almost don't count !
I'd be happy you didnt!
It's a better buy .
The HRV has full led head lights in all of the trims
That is a great point Brent!
That arm rest! Omg😂
I know right!
For 2k more you get a xle rav4 non hybrid though
I am a big fan of Toyota. But I am not a fan of the looks of the Corolla Cross. I like your review though. Idk. Maybe it will grow on me in a few years.
Toyota doesn't offer the Land Cruiser here anymore. That fact is the KING of zonks
Thanks for
1. 4 days till the unveil of the 2024 Tacoma
2. 11 K more subscribers till 1 Million!
I hope when you review the Tacoma Joe you can cover the TRD Pro And the new Trailhunter trims. 😉
Can’t wait bro
@Cobra427BigBlock I think the mid size truck wars have officially begun bro. What side do u take? Lol
TURD PRO PLATINUM
@@Blackwing668EMILIOBALL, YOUS will wait at once. MUAHAHAHAH.
@ericbrett3444 Hahahahha CUb BOOp. I'm on team trailhunter vankooooza.
The perfect appliance. Nothing to be excited about on the road manners, but so great when you combine practicality to fuel efficiency.
Wow!
For safety reasons NO vehicle should have any headlighting except led....halogen are simply not bright enough
Thanks for sharing your feelings on the lighting with the Corolla Cross.
Beautiful SUV.
I am so glad that you like this one.
@@RaitisRides Always Joe!!
Lovely, his reviews don’t get lame lol
Thanks for taking the time to say that Chris!
😂 you are hilarious. "Unless you got a mole or a callus" maybe file down a mole or callus while eating a jar of pickles.
Nice
👍👍 nice
I think that the Honda HR-V Hybrid is also a good compact SUV.
Perhaps you mean the CRV ? HRV isn't a hybrid .
Toyota can not produce basic Corollas LE's to fill orders and here we are reviewing " fancy hybrid" that will probably never see the showrooms, that is just reality 😉
It is a crazy time right now.
These were not supposed to cost this much when they were first hawking them. I knew that would be a lie. And I was right I just love where you see vacant plasticware something supposed to be and it's not - fog lights come on- when a car company comes out with a fully loaded,small, reliable, no options for 25k they will be the ultimate big winner and sell a s*** load- they almost did with GM- new Trax- but just didn't do it quite right- as usual for GM. Lousy engine transmission A+ no all-wheel drive couldn't even give the people an armrest in the backseat put a Bose system in it like they have in the old model and leave the height alone
The zonks are the old school old fashion Thomas Edison light bulb at the front of the vehicle, the exposed rear wiper is a zonk, the all wheel drive badge is too low and that’s a zonk which I don’t like where the badge is located and the cloth armrest is another zonk. The awful and terrible horn button on the steering wheel is a zonk. This vehicle is so easy to get in and out and easy to park in and out like in cities and you can so easily park in the garage. It’s not that big. And a traditional shifter which is an automatic I like 👍. Just like every other SUV and crossovers on the market.
Very good points on this one Mitchell!
The HR-V is so much slower than the Cross Hybrid, that alone would make me choose the Cross over it.
A surprising little car.
You are spot on with that!
Hi Joe
Hi Derek
30k?????? Hell no.
only advantage Honda HRV has over this is probably the available spare tire.
If your going downhill put the transmission into B drive.
Good
You forgot to put Toyota in the title.
For SEO purposes, that matters!
How many Twinkies in the center console?????
Could be a "Heavy Hitter" for Toyota. 👍
I think you are so very right!
Only if they can make enough of them!
Y’all remember how everyone got mad at Mitsubishi for calling their new SUV eclipse cross. I don’t see anyone getting mad about Corolla naming theirs Corolla cross.
I think it was more the Eclipse portion of the name.
Good luck finding one that's not marked up at a dealership....
