2024 Toyota Corolla Cross XLE Review - A Better Value Than A RAV4?

The 2024 Toyota Corolla Cross redefines what a subcompact crossover is by truly being a utility vehicle rather than being a lifted hatchback like so many competitors in this market. In a segment where the Corolla Cross goes head to head with the Honda HR-V, Subaru Crosstrek, and Mazda CX-30, Toyota might have an appealing alternative.
Huge thank you to AutoFair Toyota in Tewksbury, MA for providing this Toyota Corolla Cross XLE for this review.

For me, the Corolla cross is the new matrix, and the Corolla hatchback is the new Yaris. To me, it makes sense because The Buick encore (GX) Is basically a modern interpretation of the Pontiac vibe, and the Chevy Trax is literally an evolved Saturn VUE.

I'm 6'2" and have an extra few inches of leg and head room in the back seat, even with the front seat set for me. It's unbelievably spacious for such a small vehicle.

You failed to answer the question, is it better value than a rav4?

My sister likes these, but the hybrid. Nice review Mike!

This seems to be a 2023 version

For my "exquisite tastes", I find the inside boring and cheap. I would only consider the XSE Hybrid -- but none of the dealers around a 50-mile radius have one available. All are pre-sold, with a 4-8 month delivery date. I don't need one until October, but would like to test drive one before deciding to shell out $36,000 for hybrid with convenience package. Oh, and the local dealers that do have them (again, pre-sold), all of them have a sticker price ABOVE MSRP, with such add on equipment as roof cross-rails, mudflaps, floor mats, and "dealer stuff". Sorry, but I will not play that game anymore!! Reliability is less a factor when leasing for only 3 years, so it's either a high-tech Hyundai Kona or KIA Niro PHEV. Plus, I'll be eligible for federal and state tax credits off MSRP for the EV or PHEV versions, so they will be cheaper than a Toyota! Finally, no dealer markups!
