- The ALL NEW Corolla Cross is here and Toyota wants it to be more than just a lifted hatchback for 2022. On the outside of the base L trim you will find a flat black grill, 16in steel wheels w/ hubcaps, and LED headlights. On the inside you will be greeted by cloth seating, 7in infotainment system and analog gauges. Under the hood is a 2.0L inline-4 producing 169HP & mated to a CVT. Is the 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross L a better SUV than a Subaru Crosstrek?

I really appreciate showing us the lower trims.
Of course! It’s great to bring it to you!
Ditto. Everyone and their momma is showing the XLE. I’m sure they’re probably paid or have some sort of agreement to show the XLE, but I want to know what the base model has since all the dealerships here in vegas don’t have any showroom models.
Its so rear to see any model from ANY manufacturer, that is shown in this form! Good point
AC vents for the rear passengers...on a base model?? Now this is something that should become an industry standard
I totally agree with you!
@@RaitisRides Yeah, that's not even on the base AWD Rav4!
And a center arm rest 🥴
2023 HRv left the group🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why not just open the window…?
Thank you Raiti Rides for reviewing even the lowest trim. Believe it or not, that's what most buyers can afford.
I’m so glad that I can bring it to you!
I can’t afford even that, but I would certainly like one
@@riazhassan6570 I am in the same boat. Which car did you end up buying? Thank you!
@@staceys1870 I have an old, I mean really old, RAV4 which still chugs around. I shall probably have to keep it until it falls apart
@@riazhassan6570 I completely understand!! I have an 06 Tacoma, and is no longer worth fixing. It's also rusted out completely in the frame. Ughhh. Thank you for your reply. If you have any ideas of a budget car, let me know. My issue is my legs are very long. haha!
ive never been much of an SUV person yet this corolla cross for some reason has sort of sparked my interest
I think that is how Toyota wanted it.
Same here
The Ford Maverick is a nice sedan substitute too.
I’ve resisted buying an suv because I live in an urban area. However, I’ll definitely considered the Corolla Cross once a hybrid is introduced. The Corolla Cross maybe my Goldilocks car: not too big, not too small, but just right!
I've never been either, mainly because of the size of SUVs like the RAV4 (and competitors) and the corresponding hit to fuel economy. But the subcompact SUV segment is sort of a nice balance- smaller, but still get some benefits of the SUV form factor like taller ride height, suspension travel, and storage capacity compared to a sedan or smaller hatchback.
I just bought the LE Corolla Cross :). It's the first car I'm buying myself. I live in Canada and AWD is practically a must. I tested the RAV4, but it felt a little too big, since I'm used to driving a small car. The Corolla Cross has everything that I need. I'm not a guy who cares about speed, rather I'm more about function (saving gas, AWD, space, etc), and this has all that I need. Unfortunately, my car won't be arriving until like February, can't wait!
😀 Awesome review. I don't even watch any other reviewers anymore. You bring the content and laughs complete package. For me now your humor is a mandatory aspect of your reviews. And thanks for bringing out the lower trims...very much appreciated.
Even though the suv trend is still in high demand this Corolla crossover will sell big. Use the popular compact sedan and use it for this. Smart market strategy
You are so very right about that!
Not sure about that big sell. Same trim is about $3000 cheaper than the Rav4. I'm not biting.
I'd buy it. I just like that it has the Toyota reliability. There's prob better value vehicles but not as good reliability as Toyota.
@@paultaylor907 What you said makes complete sense. Would the next step up be the base Rav? I wonder how the base Rav's driver seat compares with the Cross XLE driver's seat? I vaguely remember I did not care for the Rav's driver's seat. Any thoughts? Thank you!
I just bought the Crosstrek and I couldn't be happier.
Appreciate that fact that you reviewed the entry level!.. That shows that you have ALL in mind!!! Great job
I have recently purchased the 2022 Corolla Cross L FWD (Sonic Silver). If I don't write a review, that will be injustice to this excellent vehicle. Due to this chip shortage, I had to preorder it, before even seeing or test driving it. I was looking into the TH-cam videos to have some idea. My concerns were: 1. FWD rear wheel torsion beam suspension: I have driven CRV multilink and corolla cross torsion beam one after another. I was not able to notice the difference. Torsion beam was noticeable in 11th generation corolla sedan, which is not in Corolla cross. May be there is some change in construction of the suspension. 2. Rear seat legroom: It looks to me perfect. 3. Visibility: Excellent visibility. 4. Cargo space: Perfect should be the word. 5. Exterior: This is one of the beautiful Toyota I should say. 6. Cabin air noise: Driven a 2022 Corolla sedan and Cross one after another. Cabin air noise level is same as corolla sedan. 7. Tire/ Road noise: Same or less compared to corolla sedan. 8. Engine noise inside the cabin: Corolla cross uses a 2.0 L naturally aspirated engine which is used in corolla hatchbacks. This engine can be loud naturally at certain RPMs. So engine noise at certain RPM inside the cabin can be high. But it looks to me OKAY. Lets see how long it can last!
I bought the le Cross love it!!!!
I really appreciate your hard work man. You're visibly sweating but still keeping the pace of the review. I'm really glad I subscribed to this channel. 👍
That means so much! You have to put the hard work in!
I plan on getting a Corolla Cross L in a few months already been in touch with the dealer it suits me just fine and it won't put me in debt! I can't wait!! 😀
You're the man, most people will buy base trims I'm really glad you keep showing them all other TH-camrs just show the higher trims
Looking forward to sanding my crusty elbows on that centre armrest.
Great work, as always, Joe and Lori.
It’s a mini RAV4! I’m ok with that. I have a 2016 RAV4 and it’s absolutely perfect for a family of 4.
I like that it has a key.... good review, joe.
Surprisingly pleasant version of a Corolla! I've always appreciated your input on all trim levels, really speaks to all manner of income. Kudos for putting up with the heat, and a burrito sounds mighty tempting about now. Lori, your camera work is next level, loving your shots. Thanks for all you do!
I’m considering getting the XLE version of this. Your reviews are helping me make a good decision. Thanks Joe and Lori.
Thanks David! I’m so glad we can share this with you!
This would be a great upgrade from my 2005 Corolla because I’ve been thinking about changing to a crossover. I was considering a used Honda CRV, but even at two years old they can cost more than this base model and I’m very used to the Toyota Corolla.
Haha we are in the same boat as well. I have a Corolla 05 CE.
Me too, I have a 05 Corolla, I need something new, steering racks leaking and my AC quit. I have 200k on it. 1800 to fix it, which is not bad, but I'm just tired of driving it.
Get a Base RAV4 instead….
About same price ~30K, but more hp, No CVT, and will last much longer…
My mother would love this cuv! She doesn’t care about speed or luxurious creature comfort, she’s ok with the basics.
I am so glad that she would like this one.
Finally after 25 years waiting, a Toyota Corolla AWD!! I owned 2 1990's Toyota Corolla All-Trac AWD Wagons. Great vehicles, only sorry it took so long to see it again!!
I like their lowest & highest trims of the Corolla cross 💯💯
I appreciate this review. Other reviewers seems to only do higher trims or only supercars and not cars that common people can afford👍
Thank you for showing the basic trim .. always enjoy your snack food storage options in the car
That really means so much! Thank you for your support!
We have had a Jeep Compass for many years. And now we switched over to the toyota corolla cross, and it is just way better👍🏻👍🏻
love this car for some reason. its a good competitor to the cx30
The Corolla Cross hybrid will be the one to get.
Steel wheels for the win here in the Rust Belt.
When this will hit sales floor and stores by 100's, with multiple trims and colors.
You are so very right about that!
@@RaitisRides When are they expected to hit the show rooms?
*When these are ten years old this will be the perfect winter beater or first car*
As I am getting closer to my 50's I am thinking I really don't need all the "bells and whistles" I would buy this baby any second put on some blind spot mirrors I that's it you got your self a winner economic practical and its a Toyota. Very good job Toyota for 22,000 there is nothing better now. Thank you Toyota :))
this is by far the funniest car review ever, you’re really funny and informative at the same time. don’t lose your humor.
Shoutout to Lori working the camera! The Corolla Cross is definitely on my list.
Great review. Love the humor too LOL. Thanks.
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. so l smile when i see the gas pump, and its a different kind of fun to squeeze for MPG.
Great video! Whenever my 2012 Rav4 dies (may be awhile) I'm looking at something a little smaller with AWD for the Minnesota winters. Nice that you reviewed the base trim because that's what I'm usually buying because I don't need/want all the high tech stuff.
Great job with all the information. I'm going to check it out and the L model is plenty for me. I've loved the Crosstrek since it came out, and also the Honda HRV. I have a 2013 Nissan Juke S with 77,000 that I've been extremely happy with thus far. Not one problem, knock on wood. Thanks again.
I am so glad that I could share this one with you!
$26300 CAD with AWD plus shipping and tax. It will last 15-20 years and has android auto and apple car play which are here to stay. As a previous salesman, this is my new top pick for almost everyone friend, family, stranger. I drive an FRS in manual, its perfect for me. This is perfect from almost everyone else.
PS -Physical turnkey key cars are theft and hack resistant now. It's a feature.
Thank u Joe for brining in the Lower trim because that’s pretty much what I can afford.😂😂
I totally understand Willy! I am so glad that I could help!
I love this video!! You’re too funny and not only that but informative as well!!!!
Thank you for taking that time to say that. I am so glad that I could share my passion with you!
I've always appreciated -- and envied -- the fact that you can somewhat customize your vehicles in the US and Europe when buying off the dealer. Not the case here in Mexico where, if you want to get the AWD, you can only get it by going to the highest and most expensive trim. You always get stuck with the lowest features if you want an entry level trim.
Great entry level car for a student or 1st car. Definitely not exciting but practical. Thanks for reviewing the base trim Joe.
how about last car?
how about middle car?
Man, you do such an incredible job!
Thank you sir
You are so very welcome!
Very nice of you to showcase the 2022 corolla cross L.
Love that you reviewed the lower trim. I'm gonna hold off for that Hybrid model. That's when this will be perfect 👌🏽
Ordered one today ! $40000 in Aust !
These things are going to be all over the road. That platform rides nice, it has a Toyota name and it's reasonable pricing. You'll see them everywhere.
I think Toyota has definitely struck gold with the Corolla Cross! Can't wait to test drive one!
You are so very right about that!
Hope the hybrid version is coming soon …. We need more hybrid vehicles with more horsepower for Boston, Miami and the whole country…. Cool info
Nice little Toyota SUV. Really liking the clean looking two tone interior and the overall dimensions, not to mention phenominal MPG for an AWD vehicle!
Maybe some TRD parts might give a few extra horsepower to this engine, but overall this is a great value, and for most people who are looking for this type of vehicle, this would be a great choice.
I think hybrid is the next step for this one,
It’s weird calling a crossover suv a “Corolla”
I can understand where you are coming from!
I wish he would get a sound reader to give us a decibel level in each vehicle that he reviews so we could see how loud the road noise is Inside the cabin. Say road noise at 65-70 mph
Front facia looks great 👍
it sure checks off most if not all my boxes. I think I'll get the hybrid version for increased power and better fuel economy
Thanks for the test drive….. cool dude
Thanks Fernando!@
Great representation I rented one but I wanted to see the specs and more you did an awesome job explaining 7/16/23
Best car review show ever. I watch all of his videos just to see what funny stuff he'll say.
I want this vehicle and for the whole gang. Le model. It's funny how you measure volume with food items haha. Beautiful car. Much better looking than the chr.
Radar cruise on the base model is hard to believe!
Toyota says they'll eventually build 150,000 Corolla Crosses a year. Yeah, if they can get enough chips to power them. LOL.
Rear taillights are a major disappointment: no separate amber turnsignals!? All-red is just not as safe.
That jab tip is gold! 😂😂😂
I love this video, especially about rear sear centre arm rest, I ordered one.
I love it my boy Joe keep up the work and I love the video lot real true 💯 👍 💯💯💯
Thanks for base model review. I want to spend the least on a new car as I mostly invest my money rather than waste it on depreciating "assets" like cars. I'll be retiring very early :)
I can understand where you are coming from. You are very welcome!
I think I found my wife’s next vehicle. I’d definitely pick this over a Crosstrek. Will probably go up a trim level though. Great review, as always Joe.
All you get at the LE trim here in Canada is heated steering, alloys, and blind spot warning. For $2k more, I'd put that money into winter tires, a spare tire subwoofer and a very nice night out.
I was sold with the Toyota napkin. Just brilliant 😎
I knew you would be!
Steel wheels with hub caps with the LED headlights is interesting
The difference in price from the base to the LE isnt worth it to me. 24k in L vs 28k in the LE
Great comparison! Love the Cross but I'm ordering a Crosstrek sport primarily due to the upgraded engine. Toyota needs a more powerful option.
I can totally understand that!
Yeah Toyotas have always been dreadfully underpowered
I think people are more for reliability/practicality.
That little sucker looks roomy as Hell …humm, it’s simple, practical and somewhat fuel efficient . I likes 👍🏽
This looks great, but I’m going to wait for the hybrid
It will be coming soon!
I drive a 2014 Corolla S Plus, MSRP about 20k. Keeping those familiar, easy to use, reliable corolla aspects, but totally upgraded, even at the lowest trim. Almost the same MPG as my compact sedan! This is fantastic value for folks like me looking to move up to a crossover. Thanks Joe and Lori!
The mpg for the corolla cross is identical to the matrix which is ok but not the best. The sedan version has way better mileage its night and day compared to cross
I will always prefer a regular old fashioned start key. Less complicated and one less thing to break over time.
My crosstreck gets 36 miles on the highway at 70 miles an hour.
As usual, great job guys!!!👍👍👍
Thanks for the demo.
I feel like I'm listening to a shamwow commercial lol! Lots of enthusiasm. Personal opinion... Crosstrek looks like a much cleaner vehicle and it's a proven platform, plus better fuel milage with AWD makes it a winner in my books. I'll be looking forward for some off-road comparison reviews coming out in the next few months, because you can't truly compare to the Crosstrek without taking it out to the wild.
Im thinking on buying a new crosstrek but i do not need AWD here in florida,I think this is my next car base model thanks for the review👍
I am so glad that I could share this one with you!
Two things you rarely cover in almost every review. First where is the catalytic converter located. Prius is the prime target for catalytic theft. What about all other toyota.. second, tell us about the sunroof. For driver that like open air experience or claustrophobic ppl. The sunroof and side windows are such important. So. Catalytic converter, sunroof… and by the way, the cross will have hybrid trim in 2023-24
Referring to food to measure the size of storage 🤣 great sense of humor sir
Good review. Like that impromptu rear seat armrest tip.
I've been planning to get my first car next year and this one got my interest. great video btw.
You always give us the best review 👍👏👏
if they put 190hp engine to this one... the Rav4 would be suffered
They can put a 230 hp motor in the RAV4.
@@user-tb7rn1il3q haha that would cause chaos
I like it! The better news is it's made right down the street from me in Greenbrier! That's between Bellminor and Madison Alabama at the New Toyota Mazda manufacturing plant!
Do the seat and legs sit up right like a suv or like a car?
This seems like an awesome choice to go with for those who work for commuting companies, like uber or lyft!
Really liking this one. Great review as always!
The only thing I don't like is that sideways muffler that is sticking out low.. Great video, and the low average trims are what most consumers purchase. Best from Montreal
I sent the conversions in a previous video about the Corolla Cross.
Thanks for doing that Dave.
I love seeing the hazards on thank u!!
You got it man!
had I known y'all are gonna be in San Antonio TX for the 2022 TUNDRA ... I wish I saw y'all in person for Photo op. more power to you and wifeyyy!
Maybe next time for sure!
9:01 I think by now all cars should have this as standard.
I try that arm rest trick for the back seat!
"Smart engineering", i like that
Thanks for saying that!
The fact that the base trim has Sirius XM compatibility is a huge plus 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
The question is when is this coming out for sale at dealerships? I’m ready to check it out in person and go on a test drive!
I was told end of November here in the DFW area in TX.
I’m thinking about getting one of these for myself. I really don’t care about hub caps because I would get some off-road wheels and tire for this thing and maybe even lift it a bit. I think it would look sick with some off-road touches
I am glad that I could share this one with you!
Great review thank you
