Love to see more hybrids hitting the market. Now if only they actually got to the dealership. Every Toyota seems to be in "transit!" 🙄🙂

[@bheezy4388]

These aren't even allocated yet. 😢

[@Mycameron2323]

Have to order them. Gonna be that way for the future

[@melissawilliams2492]

And our local dealer is tacking 2k on to the MSRP then adding dealer prep, tax, tag, title etc. jacks them all over 40k. I’m out!

[@castorkat4868]

Cant find one in NJ. They few they have they have jacked up 3K for being HARD TO FIND

[@hrdcore5757]

Same here. Seems like Toyota is making them for the world except for the USA. Read That they are making more than ever. But yet US supply is lacking. Intentionally?

[@srinip]

Thank you for the comparison - very, very useful! I guess the XSE could be thought of as a no-brainer, but then dealers in my area are still tacking on that "market adjustment" fee. I went to to one this morning, and they had one L in the parking lot with a MA fee of $7500!! Traveling out of state to avoid that is a total no-brainer!

[@user-gq2vn1xj2r]

Give it a few more months and I'll bet that markup will be a distant memory. Dark skies ahead.

[@gmary524]

L is likely not the hybrid

[@srinip]

@@gmary524 L is definitely not the hybrid. It’s academic at this point, because I found a RAV4 LE ( non hybrid) without a markup, and it has everything I need. I couldn’t be happier

[@mrrod3004]

You don't want this car, I have totaled 3 off the most basic smallest hits imaginable. This car will kill you in a major wreck.

Wow Jeff thanks for the tour of the Corolla cross hybrid. My only hope is that availability will be available for all of these Corolla crosses and not have to wait years to get one. I used to be a loyal Toyota shopper until the pandemic started and Toyotas were not on the lot or were never available. Sadly I drifted to another brand and I’m not sure if I’m going to come back ,but this car looks amazing!

Finally we get the hybrid, it’s great to see that it has more power than the standard one, besides it looks bolder as well, which I like, it also is fuel efficient, i would definitely buy this over a regular Corolla Cross I am second let’s go🗿

Hi Jeff, I was wondering is the XSE model going to have the adaptive headlights package like the XLE model currently on the market?

[@vonmitchell]

Excellent Review 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@HumbleBearcat]

Do they all come with sound deadening material under the hood?

[@heckiiacosta5600]

I have a 2022 XLE and I absolutely love it. Wished they had a hybrid option in the XLE at the time though. The xse looks really good but one thing that throws me off is you can’t get the full latex leather seats in the xse it’s a mixture of latex leather and cloth

[@LauraFlores-xn3ii]

When do you think we will be getting the hybrid in Southern California I order one since June of 2022 and nothing yet!

[@ankera7460]

nice review!

[@LacDole]

I think for southern customers, the rear vents for all trims is a big deal for families. That center armrest is sometimes good to have but you can easily make one. Plus it keeps the center console cooled. The S model have great basic features. Great video Jeff!

[@scottkronmiller3746]

Are heated seats an option on the SE? THANKS

[@lindathomas2407]

Jeff-Thanks for your comparisons; they're really helpful (I've subscribed and liked). When they announced the Cross Hybrid in June of 2022, Toyota said they'd also have the hybrid in the "L" series Corolla Cross too (the LE and XLE). That did not happen; maybe for the 2024 model? (the "S" series bulbous nose is not of my liking). AS to dealer markup, you're right: dealers have the right to "markup/gouge the customers" on sale price. If they do it during the sale transaction, there's a strong possibility they're ALSO doing it on the maintenance side of the house. Since maintenance is where dealers make most of their profits, markups may be "short term gain for long term loss" as I wouldn't take my car to a dealer for maintenance that hurt me on the sale. Just sayin'...

[@APOSTLESDOCTRINEPHOENIX]

The roof rack right over the moon roof wow that's not good, thanks for the video!

[@MichaelMcCloud29]

My only beef is they didn’t keep the green cypress color for these hybrids. I still want to trade my 2022 for a hybrid

[@Sara-um1hk]

So can you get blind spot detection on the S? And why doesn't it have a wiper? Can you add that after market?

[@TheAndyk123]

Aftermarket rear wiper would be crazy expensive. You would need to get entirely new rear glass because the standard glass has no place for the housing for the wiper motor. And you'd need to run new cable all the way to the battery to get electricity back there.

[@midwesternertk3714]

Hey Jeff, any info on an XLE hybrid version? My dealer said that's available in my location. Not sure if I'll get the XSE or XLE.

[@Toyotajeff]

Your dealer does not have correct information sorry. It’s S, SE, and XSE. That’s for United States.

[@threekerr1345]

I'd rather get the XLE Gas model than the S version of the Corolla Cross Hybrid. I believe both of these models are around the same price, but the lack of rear wiperblades is an instant no for me. The SE would have been perfect balance, but it did not have Softex seats from Toyota.

[@ianferguson3840]

LOL---"The Price Is Right" I knew this would be good, and you always rock these videos. The upgrades are not that impressive between models, although I like the yellow color.

[@Toyotajeff]

[@karenpike2420]

Great review. Can I get a heated steering wheel? Can I get cooled front seats?

[@pantloaded]

[@armandolo17]

Does the SE have front and rear parking sensor?

[@usmankhalid9438]

31000$ for hybrid is little bit expensive should be 25000$ max

[@henryhonda8408]

good luck with that price....... sure doesn't sound like you'll be getting a Toyota hybrid unless you get a sedan

[@jxmar_]

Thanks for this comparison! This is what makes you different from everyone! Love to see auto lights on the S. The L model doesn’t have that. Neither does the RAV4 LE or LE hybrid.

[@Toyotajeff]

Thank you very much and I really appreciate the compliments

[@MattCC16Gaming]

The LE RAV4 has an auto function for 2023.

[@jxmar_]

@@MattCC16Gaming it has auto high beams but no auto headlights.

[@st252297]

Is Cypress color available for hybrid?

[@Steve_in_NJ]

I'm driving a 2022 Hyundai Kona and very interested in migrating to CC Hybrid XSE in 2024 when my lease is up. My 2nd Kona, but they are getting expensive!! Meanwhile, we just got a 2023 Camry XLE AWD and loving that car too (but I like my SUV more for my needs). I'll be test driving the CC Hybrids next year (new Kona but no plans for Hybrid versions in the U.S. at this time).

[@immnotaboutthatlife2086]

Loved this review! Really helpful. XSE wins.

[@tyronewilson7890]

Hopefully the the hybrid XSE isn’t as tough to get as the RAV4 hybrid XSE

[@farmecologist3395]

How much coffee did Jeff drink before this review? Haha.... Seriously though, nice review! Great to see someone actually talking about the base model.

[@Toyotajeff]

The way I look at it the base model is equally as important as the other two trims. Everybody will be looking for the right one and that is one of three considerations.

[@ahintea]

when do these start selling in canada?

[@kevinstarski1598]

We all know nobody will see the base models at the dealerships much at all, since manufacturers are now hellbent on higher trims...

[@mikespencer3824]

Can you put the 17’s on the xse?

[@kaym4389]

Ground clearance?????

[@jasonkernjr5343]

I think the SE is the most balanced trim. Just wish it had heated seats.

[@stephenwierzbicki4463]

SE is the Best Value Overall, 🎉 Cool Video.

[@walltiger6603]

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. its a different kind of fun squeezing for MPG.

[@henryhonda8408]

Sounds like you would get incredible mpg with the Corolla Cross hybrid. I easily get 49 mpg on my Rav4 XSE hybrid with some highway driving under 65 mph. I also always drive in ECO mode which I think is one of important keys to great mpg.

[@walltiger6603]

[@mbalenhlekumalo8634]

Thank you

[@Hopeless_and_Forlorn]

No sale. My roomy and comfortable 2018 Camry Hybrid is low miles and currently delivering 43.5 mpg in combined driving. If I lived in a snow state the AWD would be attractive, but for now I wait to see what the 2024 Camry Hybrid will offer.

[@bigtimerusher53]

I for sure take out the S model immediately based on it not having the back wiper, still an amazing value. I am torn between the XS and XSE. I think it just depends on personal preference. I like the displace on the XSE, it is most similar to my current car and it gives it a more sporty look, which is a must for me. I have been on the market for a new car, but no one currently has a car that fit my needs. I was doing research and saw they were finally releasing a new version, hybrid! How is the engine compared to the 2022 model? A lot of consumers thought the engine was underwhelming.

[@katietatey]

I would bet if the Rav4 is any indication, the hybrid is peppier. I test drove the '22 gas of the Cross and agree it was a bit sluggish and loud.

[@ericmuller719]

The hybrid model has more punch, and has 198

[@jtone20]

I'm waiting on my XSE hybrid at the moment, don't know when it will arrive, but definitely excited about it! I've heard outstanding reviews on the hybrid, and the maintenance isn't that bad at all. 2.0 l ECTV transmission isn't bad. They rate it for having 41-45 miles per gallon city! That's insane for a suv... one downside about the hybrid is that it doesn't come with a spare tire... there's no room, but it would be cool if they at the very least had an option to put it on the back of the door like they do with jeeps. Other than that, with AAA I think I'm alright 😅. Still very excited about getting the top trim in a hybrid...😊

[@mrrod3004]

Iv totaled 3 from the most basic smallest stuff stay away from the rav it's made out of plastic and aluminum you're family will die inna wreck.

[@barneyboyle6933]

I don’t hate the front end as much as I did at first but it’s still a bizarre choice to make it different than the standard cross which imo looks much better. Toyota has a weird obsession with offering two different faces on its vehicles but only pairing certain feature with either one. I feel like I can never have exactly what I want with any given combo

[@markanthony3275]

Toyota is just like satellite T.V....you have to buy the package that has a lot of things you don't want, to get the things you want.

[@long_fellow]

You forgot the most important part. Give us the dealer markups.

[@Toyotajeff]

Lol how would I possibly be able to share with you the intended selling prices of each individual dealership in the entire country? MSRP is recommended selling price. Dealers are allowed to discount vehicles like they have for decades, and they are also allowed to sell them at retail suggestion and at higher prices. You could have 1500 dealerships and 1500 different prices :) Thanks for watching!!!

[@curiosityredpill7030]

@@Toyotajeff well what about the dealership you work at?

[@BuRNingFLaN]

Hi Jeff!! Thanks for your excellent and funny reviews--! Question---> does this Toyota TSS 3.0 allow the lane centering to work independently even if the adaptive cruise is not activated? Thanks!

[@Toyotajeff]

Good question and I’m not entirely sure. I feel you need to have your cruise active for the lane centering assist to work, but again I’m not sure of that. Will have to investigate

[@BuRNingFLaN]

@ToyotaJeff Reviews ok thanks for the quick response sir! I like how Honda and KIA/Hyundai allow lane centering to be turned on at anytime! It really helps for trudging through the tedious parts of traffic here in socal!

[@S.Norman]

Thanks

[@alexat62]

Thanks! Very useful comparison; I’m very disappointed with Toyota’s lack of interior color choices. I prefer lighter interiors.

[@I_discovered_civilization]

I’m surprised the torque is so low for having electric motors as a hybrid. That can’t be right.. Usually electric motors are mostly torque. This hybrid has 3 electric motors. The rear one gives it 40 HP. The front electric motors are 152 ft lb and the 2.0 I4 is 139 ft-lb. Toyota hasn’t released official combined torque specs on this. It’s obviously well above 200 ft-lb of torque though.

[@softride12]

Why do the Corolla cross hybrids all have Texas license plates in all of the various videos?

[@agpawpaw5912]

Does roof rails standard or optional? I think for most of us it’s useless things, especially on hybrid, it will only herd mpg and never will be used

[@HumbleBearcat]

I absolutely dislike the roof rail & rack (I wish it's optional) so that leaves me the S model but I want the sliding visor, blind spot monitor + manual lumbar adjustment. I hope they come standard next year.

[@thomassteele7451]

I think the rail is just optional. I would rather have the sunroof free of the bar. I liked the gas model ‘23 XLE, so if the insurance is too high on the hybrid, I could go that route. So glad the hybrids are finally on the Toyota website. I have to decide on a color😮

I understand saving money wherever possible but it should not be at the expense of basic functionality such as visibility through the rear window under poor conditions. It’s AWD! People are buying it to drive in poor conditions! No rear wiper? The only thing I can imagine to cover that would be to make the rear camera function while driving forward, AND be mounted high to see farther and avoid dust/mud.

[@katietatey]

I was like HOW DID JEFF get 3 Cross Hybrids in stock?! Then I saw the ocean. :) Press event! Welcome to SoCal, I hope you had a good time. I have been seeing a Cross gas model on my daily commute for the last couple of months. It is a gorgeous Forest Green color. Glad to see the hybrids rolling out. They weren't available when I was shopping so I ended up with a Rav4 hybrid that I love, but as a Matrix owner for 13 years, I love that Toyota is finally rolling out something similar. That was a great little car. I sold her to my friend and she still is kickin!
