2022 Toyota Corolla Cross XLE AWD - POV Review

[@TheTopher]

MSRP: $27,625 MPG: 29 city / 32 highway Horsepower: 169 hp @ 6,600 rpm Towing capacity: 1,500 lbs Engine: 2.0 L 4-cylinder Curb weight: 3,325 lbs Tire size: P225/55R18

[@braetonwilson4296]

Corolla Cross has the same 2 liter engine and CVT as the Corolla SE/XSE but weighs 300 pounds more, no wonder power is sluggish. Not to mention the extra weight puts strain on the engine and CVT transmission too, not good for long-term reliability.

[@braetonwilson4296]

@Jonathan A CVTs don't do well with heavier vehicles. That's why Toyota uses an 8 speed automatic with the Camry, RAV4, Highlander etc.

[@braetonwilson4296]

@Jonathan A You're ignoring my point too. If Aisin CVTs are so bulletproof, why doesn't Toyota put it in the Camry and RAV4?

[@braetonwilson4296]

@Jonathan A Corolla Cross is 300 pounds heavier than the Corolla sedan and hatch. That's not a little heavier LOL.

[@alexl.102]

@@braetonwilson4296 agreed. My tuned civic with cvt with 260hp/260tq has plenty of power for something thats 2900lbs

If Toyota makes this a reasonably priced hybrid or plug-in hybrid it would be a killer product.

[@caranx192]

I thought that hybrid and plug-in hybrid were avoided In Europe and America.

[@shiitake69]

The hybrid is available in Asia, around $25K-$28K give or take. I heard the NA market is getting the hybrid, though I'm not sure on that end, would be nice if we do get the hybrid.

[@MARTINRIGGSS]

This vehicle feels sluggish compared to the Corolla sedan and hatchback with the same 2.0. I own the sedan and drove the cross. To think the hybrid will have LESS power and a worse CVT (the one used in the Corolla sedan hybrid doesn’t have a first gear like the XSE / SE). No thanks. This vehicle will definitely feel like a CHR. Very overweight and underpowered.

[@tails300]

@@MARTINRIGGSS the hybrid doesn’t have a worse CVT. It isn’t actually a CVT at all as there are no belts or pulleys. It’s what’s called an eCVT which pairs 2 electric motors to the engine though a series of planetary gears.

We watched a ton of Toyota Cross reviews online leading up to our purchase last weekend. I saved most reviews to watch again after we picked up our SUV. After driving our awesome XLE the last 4 days, we watched them all. By far the best detailed and concise review was this one! u touched on every critical point good or bad precisely! We especially enjoyed and learned how to manipulate all the extras our new Cross offers on the highway. So thank u!

[@jeffreyjones5670]

​@@americandude3825 yah definitely engine struggles and is loud when trying to speed up to merge into highway traffic ... but after almost 2 months ownership we love its overall performance!

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

Weird how it's a Corolla crossover, but hey, for those who drove a Corolla and want a little more ground clearance and visibility of the road, this might be a good option. And it's literally the same as a Corolla inside, so interior-wise, it should be very familiar and it shouldn't drive any different than a normal Corolla sedan~~ Toyota simplicity, efficiency, and reliability should also give you enough reason to buy this, or any vehicle for Toyota really. It's just a good daily driver, and it's a good option for those who may not want to drive the RAV4, which may be more rugged and bigger. Just think of this as a mix between the C-HR and the RAV4, that's how I like to think of it.

I put 300k miles on a Toyota matrix xrs. I obviously loved that car. It was a workhorse and everyday commuter and just fun to drive. The cross is basically the matrix upgraded for the new decade. Finally gave up the matrix and test drove the cross and the subaru crosstrek. Also tested a rav4 and a honda crv. All four had their pluses and minuses. In the end I settled on the crosstrek. Maybe I just wanted something different from a Toyota but honestly I love this car and am now a Subaru guy. At least for the next 300k miles....

If Toyota gives the hybrid a 195hp engine for the North American version, I'd give this serious consideration as my daily driver. If they go with the current 121hp, that's in the sedan hybrid, I'd keep looking. This is a practical, straightforward vehicle that makes good sense as a daily commuter, and hopefully as a road tripper too.

[@walltiger6603]

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.

[@tomlester5291]

I'm convinced the Corolla Cross is the unicorn of the automotive world. It's been promised since at least July in the US and, at this point, I've only seen 1 at a dealership. That's it. I really wanted to test drive one and expected to either buy one of a Subaru Crosstrek Sport but had to give up on both and go with a bigger brother RAV4. At least the Subaru had a delivery date somewhere on the horizon but Toyota dealerships has that look of "What are you, kidding me? We don't know about this Corolla Cross you speak of."

[@dragospahontu]

Maybe Volkswagen Taos is better

[@catbirdler]

They exist!!! I also had the same experience as you - some dealerships in my area told me that "nobody has them" when in fact I test drove one at a dealership a bit further away. It's very hit and miss at the moment and you have to call around. They are trickling in, but many are already spoken for by the time they arrive at the dealership. I actually bought one this past week. I live on Long Island and found the exact car I wanted in Pittsburgh. I put a deposit down online, flew to Pittsburgh the next morning and finished the deal in person. Drove the 400 miles back to NY last Wednesday in my new Cross XLE. But it took scouring the internet using several sites over several weeks to find what I wanted for a half decent price.

[@alanf5351]

Only wish I can see is that there should be more torque at low to mid RPM for better acceleration/safer passing left of center line of slower vehicles, power seats on front passenger seat, up and down adjustable lumbar support on driver's seat, driver's seat memory and power folding mirrors at least on the XLE trim. All vehicles should come with an under hood blanket/sound insulator as added on the 2nd year (2020) of the current Rav4 generation. I will be looking at this when I need to replace my 17 year old Corolla that is still driving like new. So I just saw one at the dealership today. Not allowed to drive it due to Covid. I'm 5'10" tall and with winter boots on with a slight 1/2" sole, my head would barely touch the rear liftgate when opened. I will now look more at getting the Rav4 because I do not want to slouch everytime the liftgate is open and I will likely forget from time to time and hit my head.

[@Mark-ye8ro]

Hopefully the next gen will be turbo charged. The cross sounds like it's crying when pushed. I question the level of confidence one might have when wanting to overtake in traffic.

[@nkyryry]

[@graumail]

@Jonathan A we have the Subaru Impreza Sport which gives you different settings for the CVT. We love it. Is it as fun as my BRZ? No. But the CVT has a negative connotation mostly from the early models. Once you’re used to a good CVT a regular transmission feels so jerky and unrefined. My father in laws F-150 has 9 or 10 gears and sure can’t pick which one it wants, so it’s basically continuously varying too lol

[@ofcbob6391]

Pretty good review, was looking at the RAV4 but the XLE on that comes with so-so fabric seating, this XLE appears to come with their version of a leatherette, looks real nice, surprised that you didn't comment on the feel/texture of them at all.

[@catbirdler]

I just bought the XLE with a black interior and the seats look great, very soft and comfortable with adequate bolstering all around, and I'm not even a fan of leather/vinyl seats. The XLE comes with 10-way power seats and adjustable lumbar support which makes a HUGE difference. I also tried the Rav4 and wasn't impressed with the seats. Seat comfort is very important for me and I drove my car 400 miles right off the dealer lot, no complaints. The only car in this class that does it better is the Mazda CX-30 but the more spacious cargo area and touchscreen of the Cross sealed the decision for me.

[@ofcbob6391]

@@catbirdler Cindy, the interior you have, is it called "black with linear express"? I never wanted a black interior because it's well, so dark. A dark gray would be ok with me, as it won't show wear over the years like the light interior shown here. Also, all the car reviewers complain that it is just underpowered. But who floors the pedal all day long like this guy? He must be getting 22 mpg they way he accelerates. Have you tracked your mpg?

[@catbirdler]

@@ofcbob6391 The interior I have is simply called black, or black softex (the faux leather material that comes standard with the XLE). The interior shown in the video is called macadamia/mocha. I see you can get grey fabric seats with the L trim, but in the XLE these are the only choices you get, and I much prefer the black (yep, dark) interior over the 2-tone lighter option. I hate that so many reviewers emphasize the lack of power in this car. Sure, there are peppier cars out there in this class like the Kona and the Mazda CX-30 that might be more "fun" to drive. But no-one is buying this car for drag racing, right? For everyday city and highway driving, it does just fine, you certainly won't notice the lack of power in stop and go traffic LOL. If you're the kind of guy that likes cut in and out of traffic on the highway at 80+ mph, maybe this isn't the car for you, but I had no trouble passing trucks, and if you use the adaptive cruise control it actually increases your speed automatically as you change lanes to facilitate the pass. Kinda cool. My only minor complaint is that the engine IS somewhat noisy when doing anything but light acceleration (like, when ramping up to speed on a highway) but I can live with that. I tracked 30 mpg for the length of my trip.

[@ofcbob6391]

@@catbirdler Wow Cindy, you should be a car reviewer! I noticed on some vids when they show the engine, there is no insulation under the hood. Toyota did the same "mistake" when they introduced the RAV4 in 2019: it was noisy. So what did they do right away for 2020? They put the insulation underhood. Why oh why didn't the Cross have that from the get-go? I betcha Toyota will add it for the Cross next year.. I guess just turn up the radio volume if you need to get "on throttle" ... for now. Anyway, is your black leatherette sort of a dark gray, rather than black? My local dealer wants $699 for a wax job and another $400 for clear plastic on the hood and mirror caps. I don't need that but it is forced on the car at the Toyota port in Jacksonville. What a scam.

[@catbirdler]

@@ofcbob6391 Heh heh thanks for the kind words! SOooo, there is in fact insulation under the hood, but *only* in the XLE trim level. I noticed it in my own car when I popped it open and if you watch Cross videos featuring the XLE trim, you will see it when they open the hood (including this video at 3:50). The black leatherette is really a soft black, more like a deep charcoal grey. You can get a good idea for the actual color in the video at 1:23 where you can see the side view of the driver's seat and the area with the controls below the seat cushion. That and the steering wheel are pretty much the same color as the leatherette and you can see how they contrast with the piano black accent around the gearshift and the touchscreen. Hope that helps. I think you're getting off rather easy in terms of dealer mark-ups. I was all set to order a car from my local dealership until the manager pushed a price across the table that was $8,000 above MSRP!!! 😳 I went home and searched for cars online between New Hampshire and South Carolina (and I did look at Jacksonville too, once). Most places were marking up their inventory by at least 2K if not more, or were adding junk you didn't want but were forced to pay for just to keep the price more in line with what other dealerships are charging. I ended up flying out to Pittsburgh PA to get my car and driving it back to Long Island right off the lot. Apparently I'm not the only person to have had to jump through these hoops to find the right car at the right price. Crazy stories for crazy times. Once more thing, since heated steering was mentioned in the video - FYI a partially heated steering wheel IS available as an option, but only in Canada!! I guess Toyota didn't feel it got cold enough in the US to make it worth offering south of the border. Bummer!

[@rightlanehog3151]

Since the same CVT and 2.0 engine are installed in many Corollas assembled in Mississippi, I would be very surprised if the Alabama Matrix's drivetrain is not made in the USA.

if you haven't used adaptive cruise control or lane trace assist before, you'll get spoiled really quick.

nice I am first for once, not that it matters XD

If you have 32,000 why not buy Rav4?

[@tdnamur]

Because we pay full taxes in Europe according to cubic inches or power….Rav4 is 2,5 l and about 300hp. Corolla will come with 2.0 and 200hp and it’s really enough for our traffic.

@@tdnamur I live in Europe and RAV4 sold here have 2.0 engine

Not in Belgium….

Oh man, that noise like from a motorcycle...and headache after hours of driving, no thanks

[@keN-pm5zl]

it did 0-60 at snail speeds, literally climbing up 3 mph every second "Welll the power is adequate" seriously? for 27 grand that is not acceptable

[@andybub45]

It’s a Corolla… what do you want?

[@benjaminmeza5372]

Yes pretty standard Toyota stuff..... Plastic plastic plastic

[@EatMyShortzz]

Would rather have the 2023 HRV

[@P4SDetails]

“Power is adequate.” I like how you make even fairly common vehicles not sound boring. You do great work bru.

[@P4SDetails]

@@naveenthemachine I was trying to say that without directly saying that. It’s gotta be hard to not knock a common vehicle when you drive soooo many cool ones.

[@braetonwilson4296]

Power is noticeably slower than the Corolla sedan. Think about it, it has the same 2 liter engine and CVT but weighs 300 pounds more. That sucks! Just buy a RAV4!

[@braetonwilson4296]

@@naveenthemachine Yep another benefit to the sedan. Corolla sedan FWD also comes standard with multi-link rear suspension but Corolla Cross FWD comes with the cheaper torsion beam suspension.

[@P4SDetails]

@@braetonwilson4296 really not a bad point. Might as well get a little more space for your money, right?

[@braetonwilson4296]

There's something about this car that I just seem to love. Maybe it is it's simplicity?

[@catbirdler]

I feel the same way. I absolutely love the simplicity of the interior and the matte black buttons on the steering wheel without any chrome accents. I also love the slightly rounded and chunky shape of the car. As a matter of fact... I love this car so much I bought one! 😁

Same lol
