2022 Toyota Corolla Cross | MotorWeek Road Test

The Toyota Corolla is one of the best-selling cars of all time, and over the years, #Toyota has tried to expand its reach by offering variations on that traditional 4-door sedan Corolla shape that we’ve all come to know. Their latest attempt to shake things up is this #CorollaCross utility. So, let’s see what this Corolla-flavored SUV can bring to a very crowded small utility segment. #ToyotaCorolla

It never ceases to amaze me when I stop to think how I've been listening to John Davis' mellifluous voice reviewing cars for 40 years! The automotive world now is so different from what it was when John started, yet he keeps soldiering on taking it all in his stride and doing a great job reviewing cars; may he continue for many more years to come.

[@brianlee9233]

I agree. This is the second model ending with Cross (including the Eclipse Cross) that I love so much.

Just like the RAV4, Camry and Highlander, the powertrain to get is the hybrid. Toyota has worked so hard to perfect this system over the years, it’s really the better choice for most, if not everyone in these segments.

i have the corolla cross with 2.0 engine. i use extreme driving style to get 5.0L/100km, which is 49 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.

I got turned on to the Corolla Cross when they first made the announcement that it was coming. Toyota quality, I believed, would more than outweigh that typical "avoid brand new car designs because they haven't worked out all the bugs yet." I started comparing it with the Subaru Crosstrek Sport and thought it was going to be a tough decision. Unfortunately, no matter how many websites showed this vehicle being in stock, I could never get my hands on one until the local auto show, by which point I had bought a RAV4 XLE instead. The Crosstreks had a long waiting list and these Corolla Crosses seemed to be as rare as can be so I had to jump on the first RAV4 I could find. The whole supply chain issue is going to hurt new entries like this no matter how good they are as I'm sure there are a lot of people like me that just had to settle for the next best option available at the time.

[@CalvinHikes]

The whole supply chain thing has been frustrating for a lot of different reasons! Especially in the automotive world as you well know. You can't just see a car you want and then go buy it.

[@gregashlag8790]

I was lucky to get one since a dealer in upstate NY ordered 12 of them early on. Took me 45 min to think about it, 10 were sold, so I took the Blue one that was left. The car is great, but I would love to upgrade to a RAV4 when the lease will be up. I want an 8-speed transmission as opposed to CVT, and stronger engine. I would like to note that the rear seats do not recline, I had 2 separate complaints from passengers about it, it would be a nice feature to have. I am curious to find out how the RAV4 drives? you like the ride? Does it feel like it moves easily? People complain about the Corolla Cross Engine that it is too weak, I find it slow to accelerate but while you are rolling at 30 MPH plus it moves nicely but still probably does not match the Rav 4 power to weight ratio.

[@tomlester5291]

@@gregashlag8790 I conveyed this same thing on another YT video and a woman replied that she got lucky very early on like you did but actually had to travel from NY as well to the dealership right by my house! Crazy car buying times, for sure. As far as the RAV4 goes, it's been great and I really don't have any regrets about not being able to nail down either the Corolla Cross or the Subaru Crosstrek. The increased room doesn't come at a cost surprisingly as I average almost 31 MPGH in mixed/mostly non highway driving. That 8 speed/2.5 liter powertrain is VERY smooth and gives plenty of power with no concerns over compexity of turbos and CVTs and their associated issue(s). The ride is very smooth. I have an XLE and although I admit I would've liked a moonroof, I cna't complain about ending up with this vehicle. Prior to the pandemic, I was an Operations Manager for Hertz so I had a chance to test drive lots of different cars and the this new gen RAV really stuck out as a perfect mix of everything. I'd definitely recommend one.

[@gregashlag8790]

No doubt you got a better car than the Crosstrek and the Corolla Cross. I hope when my lease ends, I can upgrade to the Rav 4

A few years ago the HVAC controls would've been labeled as tiny, a distraction, etc. Times have changed. The low power numbers will be the demise of ICE vehicles like this.

I had an opportunity to rent a brand new Corolla and if the Corolla Cross drives at least as well, I would definitely buy one. The pricing isn't bad, but I can count how many I have seen on one hand though. Otherwise not bad imo. The braking performance is great.

[@tonyI0]

This is mostly a supply chain issue. I’m sure a car that is essentially a cheaper RAV4 would be selling like hotcakes if they could keep it in stock. I had to pay way too much just to get one in 3 weeks. If I weren’t in need of a car immediately, I’d have to wait 6 months to get it at MSRP

Comparably equipped, the HRV is about $1,000 more expensive. In my opinion, it doesn't look nearly as attractive. Looks like a blob. You can also get a lesser equipped Corolla Cross for several thousand less than the cheapest HRV. Corolla Cross is definitely the better value all around.

[@Steve-yp4mx]

Really skeptic about Toyota's advertised 169hp with their 2.0 engine. Acceleration is weak from their sedan to this crossover. Not reflecting what is expected from 169 horses.

[@oldtwinsna8347]

They were testing the top trim which weighs in at a hefty 3325 lbs. That gives it a 19.7 lbs/hp ratio. Combine with a sluggish off the line CVT configuration and the acceleration figures are consistent with the power rating. More so, there is only 151 lb-ft of torque @ 4400 rpm so this is quite a bit of workout for the 2.0 engine. An enlarged 2.4 engine would have done wonders here but dramatically reduce gas mileage. A turbo would've raised the price too much.

I leased LE AWD, Sticker price was $32,900 as dealer using current supply issues to raise the price so with current pricing there is no good value. I moved from a 1.6 Liter Kia Soul, so the car does not seem slow to me. The ride is very good, visibility is great, feels much larger than it actually is. Easy to get in and out. I have no problem merging into highway traffic, you just have to step on it a bit, the biggest problem is the drivers with BMW X5 or Porche Meccan that think that merging into highway at 4o MPH is safe or maybe 400 BHP is not enough to merge, or better yet gas got to expensive for them so they coast into the highway impeding traffic. This car is not fast but has a good of pull from 40 to 105 plenty for every day use, if I would want a harsh ride an sporty feel I would get the Kona N. I am getting 34 to 36 MPG consistently at 55 MPH, 30 MPG around town. Just great all around car.

Bu that Kia Surprised the hell out of me with its utility.

@@gregashlag8790 We recently picked up a new CRV...had to go 2 hours away to Richmond KY..no markup over MSRP...Stealerships in Knoxville were wanting $2k to $5k over msrp...I wish we could have waited..but who knows how long this craziness will last..and we needed a car

[@CynicalBastard511]

The Hybrid should be quicker.

[@scottvickery2057]

But how expensive will it be? Especially with stealership markups.

[@CynicalBastard511]

​@@scottvickery2057 It will be more expensive, no doubt, but the hybrid will be much better.

Slow as balls, yeah. I bet it's slower than Nolan Ryan's fastball pitches! _(6/13/2022)_

I just bought an XLE model at msrp. Was trying to purchase a hybrid but none exist. If they do, it has 3-10k mark up. Thus far I’ve driven 150 miles. Half of those miles are on the highway. I’m averaging 38 mpg. Great value.

[@JJPMustang]

If you’re not manually calculating miles driven by gallons used, it’s just an optimistic dash computer.

They really said a hybrid doesn’t exist?!🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ they’re really desperate for sales! The Corolla Cross hybrid comes out later this year!

[@jackmoseley1628]

@@jxmar_ I mean technically it doesn't exist for consumers yet. That's a future product

[@allentoyokawa9068]

Will sell like hotcakes

[@grriceman782]

Boring, bland, underpowered and what’s up with the rear end showing all that muffler/exhaust pipe? Perhaps a replacement for that disappointing CH-R?

The ? muffler hanging out the back is pre-'60's Fiat. Come on Toyota, you can do better for less.

Looks like Corolla and RAV4 got busy and had a baby.
