*NEW* 2022 Corolla Cross LE Review - Everything You Should Know!

[@Toyotajeff]

This is the NEW '22 Camry trim level www.torquenews.com/6626/joining-dark-side-new-2022-toyota-camry-trim-level-arrives I get $$$$ for each click on my stories. I would appreciate a click if you like my content. Have a wonderful weekend everyone! Jeff

[@historydude2743]

Hi Jeff, I’m buying a new car soon. Trying to decide between this and the Subaru Crosstrek. I’m leaving toward the crosstrek because of the AWD system. Is the Corolla cross AWD system full-time or something like the Camry AWD? Thanks much! Love the videos!

[@BrianCinBengals]

I just got my Cross XLE a few days ago and absolutely love it. My biggest immediate takeaway thus far is how ridiculous most reviewers have been about the car’s acceleration, which is perfectly fine. I live in Greater-Washington, DC, with some of the worst traffic anywhere and have had no issue merging into aggressive traffic barely tapping the gas petal. It’s also incredibly spacious and comfortable from a driver’s perspective if you’re tall, which needs to be put out there. Thank you for the great thorough reviews, Jeff.

[@industryandaudio]

Test drove the LE and felt the same way. Was being gaslit from other reviews but it’s got a bit of everything you need 🔥

[@tonyI0]

Same. I think it feels a lot faster to me than it actually is because all these reviews conditioned me to expect the slowest car I’d ever driven in my life. It basically feels like a normal car for the price point!

[@jeanni7129]

I'm so glad you wrote this review because I ordered mine from my auto broker. Should be getting it in about 2 more months. 😀

[@jaydel3]

It’s because these car reviews are from salespeople not the general public. They compare it to premium sports vehicles subconsciously. They review vehicles with 300 HP so then when they feel a “normal” car it is slow. I drove just the normal corolla 22 and it felt normal to me too and it wasn’t “noisy” and sluggish. I think they don’t realize 95% of car buyers dgaf about 0 to 60 in 5 seconds. Also MOST do not go off roading, most do not quickly accelerate in sharp turns, most don’t drag a trailer or boat. Also, most people don’t “punch” the accelerator from stop light. We just normally press the gas pedal gradually.

[@Flying-Fox19]

@@jaydel3 Those reviewers are idiots and stuck up trying to upsize you to a Lexus or BMW . Why don't I buy the hybrid model then upgrade to nice seats found on luxury vehicles at a custom shop.

[@abes7181]

Keep up the great work Jeff. May I ask for a side by side comparison of the Corolla Cross vs the RAV4? I think a lot of us would like to see that if you could make it happen. Thanks 🙏.

[@kaleimaile]

The RAV4 is much better than the Cross.

[@frederickmoller]

@@kaleimaile but not as good looking as the Corolla Cross, IMO!

[@kaleimaile]

@@frederickmoller , haha! I love the look of my RAV4. I don’t think I can go back to a sedan or compact car again. I love the height of the RAV4.

[@Deluhsional]

@@kaleimaile They didnt even ask about looks. They asked for side by side comparison, what you said is 100% irrelevant. Also not everyone can afford a 32k Rav4 Compared to a 21k Cross. Why be so divergent?

[@kaleimaile]

@@Deluhsional , IF you look at the comment above me, Frederick made a comment about the RAV4 not being as good looking as the Corolla Cross, so I responded back to him regarding his comment. 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️. People have preferences for what they want. I saved up for 3 years for my RAV. I was driving a Corolla before I bought my new car. I wasn’t trying to be ‘divergent,’ as you say. 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

[@samlowe566]

Just built an le with the moonroof package I’m so excited. Its amazing to see that you don’t have to get the highest trim level to get the higher end features.

[@lindathomas2407]

Thanks for the review, Jeff. I like how Toyota added Safety Sense 2.0 to all trim levels. I'm disappointed that the rear turn signals are not amber, like RAV4 (safer, IMHO). I'd be interested in your take on DRIVING the Corolla Cross: acceleration with the CVT; quietness at speed; seat comfort; handling on rough roads; independent suspension (AWD) versus torsion bar (FWD). Keep up the good work...

[@menguardingtheirownwallets6791]

Reminds me of a larger Toyota Matrix. Those things were also built off of the Corolla sedan and had a lot of cargo room (way more than the Corolla hatchback).

[@Trinidiva25]

Just purchased the corolla LE and I love it, but I'm really liking the look of the corolla cross!

[@0Acacia22]

I loved this review! I wished i had waited. A year ago I got the Honda HRV because Toyota didn't offer anything I liked and affordable to me at the time. But now I'm regretting not waiting for this one.

[@kaugusta1]

That's the one I just "built" online - pretty close to going for it :)

[@Ford_TImelord]

Jeff - love the music references and energy!. I don't really dig SUVs but this is more of a Wagon like Toyota did with the Tercel 4wd and Corolla Alltrac of the 80's. Those were great 4wd wagons which used the proven parts of Toyotas mainstream cars and packaged them in a wagon body with car handling and enough AWD to get you out of trouble. I'm looking forward to the Hybrid AWD version here in Australia being released later in the year.

[@Ace130020111]

Just ordered one. Can't wait till it gets here!

@@Toyotajeff Definitely, thank you Jeff!

[@tzachus]

Thanks for the review, Jeff but if you put the link for the XLE review it would great

[@ofcbob6391]

I like these but the MSRP gets pumped way up by Toyota forcing things on the consumer, such as Toyoguard wax job for $699, and hood film for over $419, and mats for another $399, and even patchcords for phones. That's $1600 of stuff you really do not need. And then the dealers add their own add-ons. So look at the MSRP, then add around $4000 for stuff you really don't need. Hate that about Toyota.

[@rayemanuel7460]

Jeff, I believe the FWD comes with a rear torsion beam suspension. The all wheel drive model comes with the multi-link rear suspension.

[@toronado455]

Did he say it had multi-link again? I know he made that mistake in the previous video. Yeah it's only multi-link on the AWD.

[@jimliu2560]

Is it underpowered? Is it okay during quick freeway merging?....or is there a delay in acceleration after you step on the gas?

I like this car and am considering it as my first car but the gas tank is kinda small for it’s size. Even the c-hr which is smaller has a bigger gas tank

[@victorramosjr2239]

I tell you what I DON'T like about it. We've had ours for just a bit less than a month. Toyota skimped out on the paint job inside the doors & the rear hatch. No clear coat! Just flat paint. That's bullshit! I wish I would have noticed it earlier. Was too excited about having gotten rid of our old Chevy Traverse. I plan on complaining about it later. It's not what i would expect from Toyota. Other than this, it runs good for a 4 banger engine, a helluva lot better quality than our old Chevy Traverse.

[@staceys1870]

Ugh. No clear coat? I need more advice here! I am honestly not surprised, yet stunned at the same time. Thank you again! I asked you a question of about the mpg in a different post. = )

[@ZZZZ-mkv]

Nice video. I really appreciate the detail you went into for the interior and cargo area. I just wish this vehicle had more HP. 169HP for a 3125lbs (or 3325 with AWD) crossover is not so great. Also, lol that you totally avoided mentioning the transmission is a CVT. It's ok. Toyota knows what they're doing. The launch gear makes it a lot better than other CVTs since most of the torque is handled by a real gear before switching over to the CVT for 20+ MPH.

[@pjmasks5297]

I love this crossover! I just purchased the same one but gray interior even though I wanted black interior, I will take it. I cant wait to receive it.. 😁It was hard for me to find out here in PA.

Cool! 🆒😊

[@sorinmiliescu]

Jeff, let’s put it this way: I am 6.2 and when I am sitting next to my RAV4, it looks smaller than your Corolla Cross, when you are sitting next to it 😎

[@Aristaifly]

Rav4 used to be this size until 2013/14 when they blew it up. The thing is Rav4 should have never grew to the size it is now because in Japanese market there were Hilux Surf and Prado that were bigger than Rav4 and smaller than Land Cruiser. Those two are not represented in North America's marker where vehicles grew as the size of population grows. I wish they would just introduce Surf or Prado, or Land Cruiser and Raf4 would be same sleek, compact SUV as it once was.

[@jiahuizhao4194]

So did they fixed the water leaks on the roof rail yet? Toyota drilled holes through the frame to mounts the rail but only plugged them up with simple plastic gasket, some has reported leaking after a while due to heavy rain or car wash... which is the same design as RAV4 and that car was also reported leakage. Wish you can do a view about this more in detail

[@staceys1870]

I just bought the Cross XSE yesterday. Can you direct me to find out more information on the roof rails? Thank you so much.

My spouse was looking at the CHR but it felt to small for him because he is a big/tall guy. He said the RAV is too big but when we found out about this car he loved it and said that he wants the XLE. So we will get him that in 2022.
