2024 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid Consumer Reviews
Pricing
Perfect small SUV
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 the snow. Glad I did not opt for the RAV4. ---- Initial review: I picked up this car 2 days ago and drove it 90 highway miles home, and then in town. This was a great choice, the best in "small" SUVs. We had a 2017 RAV4, and considering a replacement for my 2009 Prius, I had gotten on the list for a Prius Prime. After 8 months, I started looking around for a small SUV instead, focusing on the Subaru Crosstrek. Unfortunately, that car is no longer made as a hybrid, and the new RAV4s have gotten so big, they are like pickup trucks IMO. When the hybrid version of the CC came up, I got very interested in it and got on the list. Both the Prius Prime and CCH came in on the same day to different dealers, and I chose the SUV. Turns out the CCH is about the same size as the 2017 RAV4, but is still considered small. And do not listen to people who say it's "not fun to drive" or boring in some subjective way. This is a great car! It is agile, peppy, smooth-riding, fun to drive -- and very safe. The interior is fine. No ghosts of the Toyota Corolla here, except for the reliability. My only beef is that (1) navigation without using your phone is $15 a month, and (2) the wireless charger does not seem to work with any phones I have tested it on. Cheers.

The Perfect Size with Hybrid and AWD Combined!
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 driver’s seat. The interior trim of my XSE model is very nice, although I don't care for the "floating tablet" infotainment screen. Only one serious gripe: NO SPARE TIRE! Currently, the hybrid CC's only get a spray-can to fix a flat, which is only helpful with minor leaks. Overall, I highly recommend the Corolla Cross hybrid AWD for its size, easy parking, very short turning circle, and fun, athletic ride!

Practically self drives
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 the baby one. We had a leak on the freeway, stopped and used their goop to try to fill the hole... That didn't work, so I called my dealer and somehow I had AAA get me towed to buy a new tire. The tire shop told me to NEVER USE THAT GOOP, YOU CAN'T PATCH A TIRE THAT HAD THAT STUFF IN IT. Now what??? Come on Toyota!! Get a clue and put a spare in it?!

Missing my CD player, but the headlights-Amazing!
2024 Toyota Corolla Cross Hydrid XSE Purchased 8/10/24 It took me 3 weeks to find a cross hybrid due to I wanted the Barcelona Red and wanted the liftgate package. And when I did, that was the first time I test drove one and really didn't need to, as I watched so many reviews on you tube. I owned a brand new 2016 Prius 4, for 2 years, and I missed that car. The parents thought it was too small so I traded it in for a used 2019 Hyundai Tucson. What a regretful mistake. I've missed being part of the Toyota family ever since. Now for my review; I feel very empty not having a CD player. I'm in my 50's and I understand this young generation is all about streaming, but I wish it was an option instead of no option. It makes me miss my 2002 Toyota Highlander that had a 6 CD changer!! I wish there was more storage space to put my lip gloss, reading glasses, a pen & small note pad to track my mileage. I have to use the cup holders for these items. I was surprised the cup holders do not have something to grip your cup or bottled water steady. What happened there Toyota? The car cost 40k! Other than that, I really love driving this car. And happy they added the sun visor extensions. The 2016 Prius did not have that. The "check the back seat" notification after I turn off the car is annoying when you don't have kids but have a large lunch bag hanging in the back seat. The headlights on this car are soooo amazing!!! My 2015 Hyundai (which was my trade-in) headlights were so bad I stopped driving at night. I love driving at night now. I have the adaptive headlights as well. The phone charger is a super convenient feature when i travel to the bay area to visit friends. The salesman told me the mirror did not have a garage door open feature for my home, but i found that the homelink mirror does. If it wasn't for you tube, I'd be at a loss with all the features in my new car. It is pricey, but I couldn't afford the RAV 4. I love that I have 2 years of Maintenance and a 10 year warranty on the the battery. I am getting used to and familar with the apple play, which I was afraid of and why I held off from buying a new car for so long. I'm happy I waited :) I am used to having navigation. The apple maps seem to work fine for now. I might try a month subscription of the Nav later. The Safety features helped save me money on my car insurance. I couldn't believe my insurance was cheaper for a brand new car! The lift gate makes me feel like i have a luxury car. Only other thing is there is a dash cam shown as an option to buy for this vehicle, but the dealers don't seem to carry these for me to buy it.
