Small crossover, smarter tech and more cargo

Written by automotive expert Christian Wardlaw

2/15/2023

Toyota bases the 2023 Corolla Cross on its dependable compact car of the same name. The Corolla sedan and hatchback share their basic design, powertrains and more with the Corolla Cross. On top of that, the Corolla Cross provides more cargo space, more ground clearance and available all-wheel drive. It's a small Toyota with plenty of SUV-related appeal and an alternative if you find the bigger RAV4 to be too expensive.

This year's Corolla Cross gets a few changes. For starters, there is a new hybrid model (reviewed separately on Edmunds) that promises improved fuel economy. In addition, Toyota swaps out the old infotainment system for its latest technology. Every trim level comes with an 8-inch touchscreen that's fitted with new functionality, including an improved voice command system and wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration. Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 (TSS 3.0) also debuts for 2023, expanding on the previous Safety Sense collection of driver assist and collision avoidance features with a few enhanced capabilities.

These changes should help the 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross better distinguish itself from its rivals. Furthermore, now that Toyota has dropped the C-HR from its lineup, the Corolla Cross faces no competition from within the automaker. Overall, we find it to be a decent pick for an extra-small crossover but one that comes up a little short compared to the Chevrolet Trailblazer, Hyundai Kona, Mazda CX-30 and Subaru Crosstrek. Be sure to check out the Edmunds Expert Rating of the Toyota Corolla Cross below, which is based on our testing team's evaluation of this SUV.

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Rex Tokeshi-Torres

Average

7.4

out of 10

We drove the 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Performance: Acceptable acceleration, comfort-first tuning

7/10

How does the Corolla Cross drive? Toyota's Corolla Cross is merely OK from a driving standpoint. Our all-wheel-drive test model accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 9.6 seconds. That's pretty slow but not entirely unexpected for a vehicle in this class. Passing at freeway speeds requires a bit of planning. Otherwise, the Corolla Cross is smooth and easy to live with at city speeds.

Sometimes small SUVs offer zippy handling on the account of their smaller size, but not the Corolla Cross. Everything from its steering to braking are tuned for comfort. That might be all you need, but we hoped for just a little more pizazz.

Comfort: Mostly cushiony, but noisy at speed

8/10

How comfortable is the Corolla Cross? The Corolla Cross provides suitable comfort for the daily grind. It absorbs most road bumps without trouble, though on occasion 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, the climate control fan on full blast is very noisy. But on the upside, the air conditioning works great on hot days, and the Corolla Cross has rear air vents, which is not a given in this class.

Interior: Space shines, rear legroom disappoints

7.5/10

How’s the interior? The Corolla Cross feels spacious in most passenger areas with the surprising exception of rear legroom; it's among the tightest in the class, even compared to much smaller vehicles like the Hyundai Kona. 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.

Technology: Big touchscreen, annoying lag, paywalls

7.5/10

How’s the tech? The 8-inch screen feels big in the small car, and it looks sharp and modern. But it can be slow to respond; we noticed lag when using the navigation system and longish waits for responses to voice input. In the Corolla, the touchscreen doesn't integrate with other vehicle systems (like climate control and driver aids) as it does in some other Toyota models.

The shortcuts for primary functions are useful, but some of the virtual buttons are small and easy to miss with your finger in a moving car. Toyota's app and connected features — like remote start, phone as a key, and car finder — are nice to have, but all require a monthly subscription to use, and it's a shame remote start is only available through the app.

On the plus side, the Corolla Cross' advanced driver aids work well, although we wish blind-spot warning offered an auditory warning instead of just a visual one. The lane keeping assistance system is particularly good — it centers the car in the lane without being overly aggressive. Our test car's upgraded JBL-branded stereo is also a hit, with excellent volume and sound quality for a small car.

Storage: Rear cargo space gets useful—mostly

7.5/10

How’s the storage? The Toyota Corolla Cross has generous rear cargo space with 25.2 cubic feet in our all-wheel-drive test vehicle. You can drop down the rear seats to accommodate longer items, but they don't fold completely level with the load floor, as they do in other vehicles. The wide rear opening helps make loading things a breeze. Interior cabin storage for front passengers' items is sufficient. There are plenty of water-bottle-size pockets and a few modestly sized compartments to use.

Got small children? Installing a large child safety seat won't be quite as easy as it is in other SUVs due to the Cross' narrower lower door opening and rear legroom handicap. All anchor points and top tethers are clearly marked and easy to access. And if towing is something you plan to do, the Corolla Cross can move a maximum of 1,500 pounds, which is respectable for this size SUV.

Fuel Economy: AWD mpg feels credible and efficient

7.5/10

How’s the fuel economy? We tested the Corolla Cross with AWD; it gets an EPA-estimated 30 mpg combined. That's slightly above the class average. The base Corolla Cross with front-wheel drive is a bit more frugal at 32 mpg combined. Our test model posted 33 mpg on our 115-mile highway-heavy, mixed-driving evaluation route, indication that the 30 mpg EPA number should be realistic.

Value: Standard features win, plastics cheapen

7.5/10

Is the Corolla Cross a good value? The Corolla Cross provides good value for the class at lower trim levels thanks to its many standard features. The top trims are a little more pricey compared to other models but add a lot of premium features to help justify the cost. Underlying build quality feels solid, but the interior's abundant use of plastic makes it feel a tad cheap.

Toyota's basic and powertrain warranties are par for the course. You get a 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: Practical, not inspiring SUV driving

7/10

The Corolla Cross is a vehicle of necessity, not something you buy for emotional satisfaction. It'll serve you well in your daily needs as a practical and comfortable SUV, but it's quite uninspiring to drive. There's not much here that stands out.

2023 Toyota Corolla Cross trim level differences

Toyota offers the Corolla Cross in L, LE and XLE trim levels. Each has a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (169 horsepower, 151 lb-ft of torque), a continuously variable automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. An all-wheel-drive system is optional. The highlights of each trim level follow below. Compare the 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross trim levels in-depth.

Which Corolla Cross trim does Edmunds recommend?

Of the three versions of the 2023 Corolla Cross, we recommend the LE trim level. It adds several appealing features at a reasonable extra cost, such as alloy wheels, tinted privacy glass, automatic climate control and wireless smartphone charging. In addition, the LE includes a blind-spot warning system with rear cross-traffic alert.
