2025 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid Review

by the Edmunds Experts

High fuel economy for an all-wheel-drive SUV
Touchscreen interface is easy to use
Quicker and more efficient than the standard Corolla Cross

Cons

Offers less rear legroom than other small SUVs

What's new

No changes for 2025
Part of the first Corolla Cross generation introduced for 2022

Overview

The 2025 Corolla Cross is Toyota's smallest SUV sold in the U.S, measuring about 4 inches shorter lengthwise than the RAV4. In this position, its hybrid version, the Corolla Cross Hybrid, bridges the gap between the RAV4 Hybrid and the Prius and Camry hybrids, making it a great fit for shoppers in the popular subcompact crossover class. With an EPA-estimated 42 mpg in combined city/highway driving, it can save you quite a bit at the pump compared to the standard Corolla Cross' 30 mpg rating, and in Edmunds' testing, we easily exceeded that estimate.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2025 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid S 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.01 per gallon for regular unleaded in Virginia.}

Edmunds spotlight: The Corolla Cross returns largely unchanged

The changes to the 2025 Toyota Corolla Cross are purely cosmetic, and even by that standard, they're minimal. A new paint color has been added along with black accents for sideview mirrors. A shark-fin-style radio antenna rounds out the minimal changes. Oh, and the hybrid model now boasts an HEV badge on the rear bumper. Neat.

Competitors to consider

Subcompact crossovers are gaining in popularity, but it's taking a bit longer to get hybrid variants in the class. At the moment, the Kia Niro is the only direct competitor. Neither the Corolla Cross Hybrid nor the Niro is particularly fun to drive, but the Toyota gets up to speed noticeably quicker. The trade-off is fuel economy, as the Kia beats it with an impressive 53 mpg estimate. Check out our Expert Rating below to see where else the Corolla Cross Hybrid leads and what could also use improvement.

Our Verdict

^{The Edmunds Vehicle Testing Team evaluates a fresh batch of vehicles every week, pairing objective assessments at our test track with real-world driving on city streets, freeways and winding roads.

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

7.5/10

How does the Corolla Cross Hybrid drive? The Corolla Cross Hybrid's driving experience can be defined in one word: easy. This is the type of crossover that delivers exactly what it promises. It needed 7.9 seconds to get from 0 to 60 mph, which makes it substantially quicker than the standard gas-only Corolla Cross (which took a lazy 9.6 seconds to do the same deed). Power delivery is immediate and smooth, and it feels like the electric motor gives the hybrid version a nice kick as you pull away from a stop. In daily driving, the Corolla Cross Hybrid is perfectly simple in operation and largely stays out of your way.

Comfort

8/10

How comfortable is the Corolla Cross Hybrid? The Corolla Cross Hybrid provides suitable comfort for the daily grind. It absorbs most road bumps without trouble, though on occasion it can feel a bit too soft and floaty if the road has consistent undulations. The front seats have decent cushioning but come up a bit short on thigh support for taller drivers. The rear seatbacks are set at a comfortable degree of recline.

There's a noticeable level road noise that enters the cabin at highway speeds. Also, you'll notice noise and vibration from the engine, which is mild when cruising but highly intrusive when accelerating or climbing a hill. But on the upside, the air conditioning works great on hot days, and the Corolla Cross Hybrid has rear air vents, which is not a given in this class.

Interior

7.5/10

How’s the interior? The Corolla Cross Hybrid feels spacious in most passenger areas with the surprising exception of rear legroom; it's among the tightest in the class. The cabin is otherwise pretty easy to get in and out of, and the interior layout is practical and simple. The 8-inch infotainment touchscreen is easy to use.

Build & Price

Technology

7.5/10

How’s the tech? The Corolla Cross Hybrid comes with a solid number of driver assist features. These include adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assistance. Most of the systems performed as expected during our testing, and we didn't experience any false alarms. The adaptive cruise's following distance, though, is tuned a bit too conservatively to operate effectively in rush-hour traffic. Be ready for other drivers to pull in front of you.

The optional JBL audio system produces decent clarity and punchy bass. There's no onboard navigation system, which is becoming more common these days since many people prefer Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration.

Storage

7.5/10

How’s the storage? There is enough storage space inside the Corolla Cross Hybrid to stash most small items away. The main cupholders and doorbin water bottle holders are of decent size, and the center console is deep enough to fit other items like your glasses, phone or wallet. The hybrid does have slightly less storage than the regular Corolla Cross (21.5 cubic feet compared to a max around 25 cubic feet), but it's still generous enough for grocery runs or fitting a few suitcases.

Got small children? Installing a large child safety seat won't be quite as easy as it is in other SUVs due to the Corolla Cross' narrower lower door opening and rear legroom handicap. All anchor points and top tethers are clearly marked and easy to access, though.

Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below

Fuel Economy

9/10

How’s the fuel economy? The EPA says the Corolla Cross Hybrid should get 42 mpg in combined driving. Our test vehicle actually outperformed the EPA estimate on our real-world evaluation route, logging a combined 45.6 mpg. Some hybrids we test come up short in our testing, so it's nice to see the Corolla Cross Hybrid doing well here. It's a genuine fuel-sipper.

Value

7.5/10

Is the Corolla Cross Hybrid a good value? Build quality on our test model was more than passable. The panel gaps were tight and little to nothing rattled. But we'd like slightly nicer materials for the touch points like the steering wheel, shift knob and radio controls, especially at this car's asking price. That said, we're mostly satisfied with the car's quality.

Toyota's basic and powertrain warranties are par for the course. You get three-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper and five-year/60,000-mile powertrain coverage. However, the complimentary maintenance plan for two years/25,000 miles with roadside assistance is a nice perk.

Wildcard

7.5/10

The Corolla Cross Hybrid isn't meant to stand out — it's meant to be a nice place to temper your lead-footed habits and to make sure you don't spend too much on gas. Its long list of amenities, and Toyota's reputation for reliability, will hopefully give buyers peace of mind. It's the kind of car that does exactly what it says on the packaging, and that's all it needs to.

Which Corolla Cross Hybrid does Edmunds recommend?

We suggest checking out the XSE trim. It's rare that we recommend a top trim, but in this case, you get a lot of upgrades for a reasonable price. These include a digital instrument panel, dual-zone climate control, and heated front seats upholstered in synthetic leather.

Perfect small SUV

2023 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid XSE 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

One year update: I am still very pleased with this vehicle. I had only 1 problem -- a buzzing speaker, which was replaced. I would note that my mileage is better than predicted. With about 20% freeway and 80% city/other driving, I get ~ 47.5 MPG (instead of ~ 44). And I figured out the phone charger -- have to rotate phone 180. Overall very happy with the performance and pickup. Great in …

2023 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid XSE 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

This car is more of a "station wagon" by design and proportion, rather than a boxy "SUV." This suits me just fine. I have the 2023 Corolla Cross XSE Hybrid. The headroom is amazing for my 6" frame, and the ground clearance make entrance and exit easy. The ride is fun, zippy, and responsive, and its fuel economy is impressive! As well, it offers excellent visibility all around from the …

2023 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid XSE 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

It is fun to drive and had lots of options. Comfy for a longer trip, if you can get all your stuff in. I get about 38 mpg on the freeway where 75 mph is the speed limit. I get 42 ish in town. So that is less than I expected. It is not intuitive to use the radio, or climate controls. But easy to play my downloaded audiobooks and use my Spotify account . Worst part- no spare tire, not even …
