My love

I bought a new 2022 Rav4 and every time I got out of the car, I smelled coolant. Toyota gave me different excuses of why I smelled it, and spending close to $40,000 on a car and smelling like coolant didn’t set right with me. So I sold it and took a few months and decided to buy the 2023 Corolla Cross. I didn’t get to test drive it before purchasing it, as Colorado wasn’t getting very many of them from Toyota. My first impression…I loved this car. I didn’t need to apply any pressure to the steering wheel, it turned so easily. The seat was very comfortable. The engine shifted smoothly and didn’t seem loud. With my Rav4, it always sounded like I was flooring the gas, when I wasn’t. A few days after having the car, I did notice a few negatives. My cluster panel is all digital. When the sun comes in just right, I can not see anything on the cluster panel. I can just barely make out the speed I am going. That is kind of frustrating. The other thing I don’t like, is it sounds like I am in a sub woofer box. It is very echoey sounding and certain roads make that sound even worse. I can not tell if it is poor insulation or just the softtex chairs and all weather mats not absorbing sound. It bugs me though. The first time I filled up, I got 34 mpg, the second time was 32 and currently, it shows 36. That fuel economy is almost worth the two things I mentioned above. I do have a FWD XLE, which may make my mod a little higher then AWD.

Poor gas mileage

MPG maddening, 02/13/2023
2022 Toyota Corolla Cross LE 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl CVT)

I bought this car because of the better gas mileage than my Rav4. BIG MISTAKE. The Cross is averaging only 22.4 mpg in the city, and am always conscious of using good driving habits. Toyota dealer says there is nothing wrong mechanically, and this is normal.

Great car with safety features!

It has blind spot and changing lanes safety features as well as backing out. I don’t like the whistling noise it makes when you driver 40 and greater. The dealer check it out and fix the sealer in the front which helps a little. It’s a new line for Toyota. I love it though!

Needs improvement, inside design is lacking

NH, 12/03/2023
2022 Toyota Corolla Cross XLE 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl CVT)
6 of 7 people found this review helpful

We purchased the Toyota Corolla Cross XLE this past week with the Platinum Coverage plan; mainly intended for the wife. In the first week we had some unusual issue when going up an on-ramp - the car had trouble increasing speed and almost stalling. No hard codes, so thought maybe it is the torque converter. Later it went away. The problem was only when the car was cold (outside temp 40 degs). Other problem is our rear door keeps sticking when opening..... have an appointment with Toyota. We only have about 100 miles on the car. The inside/outside is nice, but flaws in its design. The platform charger is a joke. The phone will not stay in place, the wife's Iphone will not charge because the camera's round protruding edge does not allow it to lay perfectly flat. My Android phone also would not charge. My home platform charger works fine, but does not work in the Toyota Cross. Next, the mirror adjustment is small and deep behind the door handle. If you have small hands maybe it is fine, but my hands are larger and I can only reach the electric mirror adjustments with my finger tips.. horrible. The center console storage box is a joke.... so small cannot really put much in it, why bother putting it in? The auto-stop when at a light. Yes, it has a button on the console to allow the motor to keep running if push, but you have to push it (ever) time to start the car, you cannot turn it off completely. I prefer my engine to keep running. It is cheaper than having to replace a starter motor for thousands of dollars because it dies out too soon due to this stop / start nonsense. Leg room: well, after riding as a passenger now for a week it is annoying. I am 6'-1" and with the seat all the way back it still does not have enough leg room, like my other car. When I drive the car, again, need more leg room. I wear a right knee brace and each time getting into, out of, the car it constantly gets stuck on the steering wheel, even with the wheel all the way up. If I open the glove box it almost hits my knees. Auto windows: I do not like the one-touch windows. Every time I put the window down it automatically goes down all the way and is annoying. If it is raining (which it is here), and you only want to "crack open" the window, you cannot.... so in the rain it opens all the way down then you get wet and have to quickly put it back up.... Sound system is ok, need improvement despite the JBL speakers. The display need re-design in selecting items on the menu. I also had a similar problem on my sons new Corolla XLE he bought and it now only has 300 miles on it. One time traveling in his car it took me 1 hour on the road in traffic to perform a function link between my phone and the Corolla. The car is good on gas.... much better than my other car which is a 2.4L, so happy with that. There are many features on this car similar to the Volvo, but again, annoying configuring everything, or trying to shut things off/on. Dec 11, 2023: Right rear door keeps sticking. You can feel and hear it get stuck somewhere around the trim or door lock. I did notice some markings on the rear door latch mounted on the frame - rubbing and scratches, so it is not aligned. Our right front side window (front psgr window) always seems to have moisture on it after sitting. When I run the defrost all the windows (front and rear, and side windows clear up and seem dry), but the right front psgr window stays wet or damp for many hours unless I wipe it off. Concerned about a seal leak in the door.

Get a RAV 4

I bought the LE trim at the end of October-great quality of Toyota of course. Acceleration is a total joke-that launch gear blows [non-permissible content removed]-feels like you are going to stall out when you floor it. Engine way to small for this vehicle-gas mileage no good either. I traded it in on a Venza-this blows the Cross out of the water-not much in price either. Save yourself some time and order a Venza or a RAV 4.

Backing up grinding noise on sharp turn

Have been to Toyota twice with same issue. Loud grinding noise on backing up with sharp turn. They cant find anything wrong. First blamed me having it oiled. But the oiling company says no way. Now I have videoed the noise so will take it to them. Seems to be coming from the driver wheel only
