It's a great size and I like the LE AWD trim package, it has everything I needed. I have had some issues though six months into owning it. The door seals are great and have an occasional whistle. It has no guts to accelerate from a stop or from speed so passing is iffy. When I picked it up a blindside detector chip had blown and needed replacing and now the fuel sending unit is blown too. Both covered under warranty but not things I expected.

This is one of the more affordable small SUV's on the market and hopefully it will retain its' value. It provides a nice ride and easy handling. The rear compartment is ample but leg room for rear passengers is a little less so. There is no rear window wash or wiper! The windows are not tinted; that bothers my grandchildren & myself on sunny days. You can open this vehicle with your key fob but you have to press the buttons, it doesn't automatically open if the fob is nearby. It does not have a powerful engine, so it will take time to get up to speed. It's easier to connect to your phone if you own an Apple phone. You will need to download APPs to use the phone and radio.

It's good enough to get on the highway and does excellent at highway speeds. Yes it is a tad slow to get to 60, however how often will you have an open track straight to a highway without dealing with some form of traffic anyways. It has the best in safety and so far there have been no recalls. I have the Cross LE which is recommended by Edmonds and I love it!!! This vehicle was built for fuel economy and safety so still be surprised at what you pay at the pump. I left Nissan for Toyota and couldn't have been happier!!!! If you have the money then upgrade and get a Mazda CX-5 or 30. If you want reliability for the next 20 years trouble free well remember this was modeled after the Corolla which is the best selling vehicle out there and a Toyota brand. Also stay away from the dealerships right now!!!!!

Overall, Edmund's is spot on with their review of the car. My wife and i decided to go with the LE, Red/with Sunroof Option. It was only a two week wait, so it was worth it. XLE was tempting but dealers are milking the unwanted extras hard and forcing you to pay way over cost, so the LE was our best bet. Overall, my wife loves the car and for her it feels luxurious compared to her 2018 Volkswagon Jetta. The interior is nice, but does indeed feel a bit dated, as does the back camera, and the touch screen. I can tell where they cut corners, so if you can live with that its not a big deal. The Engine is a bit overly noisy too. Some nice things, the ride is smooth and punchy. Lane assist is really helpful, cargo room is good for what you get. We alsos love that the LE gives you AC vents for the front and back. Apple Car play is great and intuitive. Nice amount of USB ports. One in front and two in the back. I am really happy with the Q wireless charging as well. This is important as being able to charge your phone wirelessly in an emergency is vital. 6 Speakers sound great, especially If you dig electronic dance music like I do. Bass sounds great and high mid range. But it has its limits. Go too loud, and you can start to hear it struggle a bit. My wife's one issue is that she feels the car is controlling!😉 it has a number of saftey features that keep you in line, even when you park. It is always beeping at her! I think its great, because i know how she drives and she needs it! She does adore the sun roof and it was worth the extra 950, which we think is a fair upgrade Price. Overall, it is a nice car and a great value and serves well as a mid high end commuter car. It will not rock your socks but its reliable. I do hope one day Toyota will take a playbook from Mazda and give more trim and feature options beyond Mazda CX 30 has over 8 different variations, giving customers a nice range to fit ones style and wallet. A Carbon Edition Toyota would be sweet, but alas will never happen probably. Oh well! Overall, we are pleased!

Beware L Packaging - Toyota Petty
Cross Lover Wareham Mass, 08/08/2023
2023 Toyota Corolla Cross L 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl CVT)

I have a 2023 Cross L AWD that I picked up in late March and now has 11,000 miles. I love this vehicle! What amazes me the most is the fuel economy. I’m getting a consistent 34 mpg or so. I’m coming from a 2016 Scion iM that got 36 mpg. So to have this Cross get similar fuel economy for a vehicle much larger with AWD is nothing short of phenomenal. I chalk it up to the efficient low revving CVT transmission. I loved the CVT in the Scion, which has already gone 210,000 miles. I chose the Cross and it’s CVT over the RAV4 and it’s 8 speed auto, as I assumed correctly that the Cross fuel economy would come out on the high end of the EPA numbers. My fear was the RAV4 with its slightly larger chassis, bigger engine, and less efficient transmission would return fuel economy in the mid-20’s. That fuel economy difference adds up when you take a vehicle over 200,000 miles. The engine has plenty of power for me. The warnings about the low power just don’t ring true for me. I find it has typical Corolla power, efficiently getting the job done. I have even pulled a utility trailer loaded with 750 lbs of firewood with no issues. My biggest complaint is that Toyota can be so petty in how they packaged this L. I am especially pissed off that the “so called intermittent” wipers that are just a single constant delay intermittent, rather than a common sense variable intermittent. Toyota is so petty they could have added the intermittent feature and increased the price another $25. To torment us L owners like this, is unconscionable. Oh what a feeling in any light rain! The L also does not come with a rear washer/wiper. What would this have cost them? $150 max? So damn petty to the point of not even making sense. So beware if you are thinking of getting the L model. Toyota intends to torment you for your thriftiness. I’m a little concerned about the thousands of times over the life of this vehicle that I press that “cancel auto stop” button to turn off that incredibly annoying feature. I’m not sure that Toyota designed that switch to cycle on and off that many times. I’m also not a fan of the automatic parking brake. I’m wondering how much it’s going to cost me when that inevitably fails, when the servo no longer serves. I’m loving the Apple car play, although getting from it to Sirius XM is less than intuitive when Apple car play is locked in. I love the ground clearance and the AWD system has worked well. The sound system is good. I have experienced that road noise “living in a sub woofer” effect, but I quickly get used to it and it doesn’t seem to be all the time. The seats are typical Corolla seats. Not as comfortable on long trips as my sporty Scion iM seats. The Cross handles well and the ride is surprisingly smooth on bumpy roads. Basically I consider the Cross to be a 2/3rds sized RAV4 without the $5500 price premium and with better fuel economy. I see a lot of L’s, so Toyota is capitalizing on the value of this great vehicle.
Engine start/stop malfunction

These cars have a engine start/stop malfunction that causes the wheel to lock and you are not able to move the car. Upon further research it has something to due with a glitch when the windshield wipers are on at the same time you use the stop engine function. Several people have has this problem over a year and toyota is still selling these cars even though it’s a huge safety concern. I was stuck in the middle lane on a road with a 50mph speed limit. Luckily with my hazards on people payed attention and went around. The warning reads “low steering power” then says to “press brake firmly to restart”. That does not work. You have to put the car in park wherever your stuck and press the break with the car start button a couple times. I have filed a safety report NHTSA. The service at the dealership is obviously aware since they specifically asked me if it was raining while this occurred. I emailed my sales person who simply replied to “make a service appointment” as if they are’nt aware of the issue and have not been able to fix it for a year! I cannot believe they are still selling these cars. DO NOT BUY THIS CAR! Im so disappointed. I had a bad experience with a ford dealership and went to toyota hoping to get a reliable low maintenance car. Ive only had it a month:( UPDATE: I’m still having this problem. I’m working with a lemon lawyer to get it sorted out. Also, the car has a driver’s side airbag recall with no remedy going on 3 months now.

Picked up a 2022 Corolla cross LE AWD a few days ago and let me tell you I am in love with this vehicle. It’s smooth, comfortable and it’s oozing quality all around. The acceleration is good for my driving style. Size is perfect, ground clearance, Toyota reliability and resale value. This vehicle checks off a lot of my must-haves in an SUV. Toyota did an excellent job on this new model. Highly recommended!!

I have put 1600 miles on my New Toyota XLE Corolla Cross and paid 31k for it plus for the extended warranties. My XLE has heated seats with switches in the dash to turn them on and off just below the navigation (works great so far). The seats are comfortable for me but I am 5'4 and my significant other who is 5'9 but fitting a car seat in the back that is large greatly reduces the leg room. It has Wifi I think it only works with LTE and I have NOT noticed 5g so for a new 2022 this feels dated already. It came with JBL sound system which sounds decent (newer cars /tvs tend to have terrible speakers. So in comparison this one is as good as my 09 camery) Some times I have noticed that the dial will not adjust the volume which can be remedied by turning off the radio and turning it back on. Navigation says I will need to download an app to utilize it however I feel this should have been pre-installed and I have not found how to install the app however my apple play works great and I can use the navigation on my phone to project on my cars radio. Sun roof (no leaks so far works as should) Adaptive head lights (this is weird and seems to blind everyone coming my direction/ in front of me even when going up hills I don't know how safe this is but I can see like it is daylight at night) All wheel drive (seems to work as it should) Space/glove boxes/trunk (feels more compact then my 09 camery did inspite of it's SUV shape. The RAV4 is larger) materials/fabrics (decent but not luxury by any means) CVT Transmission- sounds terrible while Idling and doesn't stop sounding grindy until you reach 40mph. The Cross is very slow to gain speed so passing has to be carefully planned but it also gets 28 mpg on average with AWD being a reasonable trade off especially with current gas prices. **********Warning lights currently lit at 1600miles or before*** Note car has not been damaged in anyway and is under warranty ******* -Check Engine A malfunction in the electronic control of the engine, throttle or automatic transmission has been detected. NO DATE OR TIME LISTED -Headlight System A malfunction in the Headlight System has been detected. NO DATE OR TIME LISTED -SRS Airbag System A malfunction in the SRS Airbag System has been dectected. As of 2/25/2022 9:54 AM -PRE- Collision System A malfunction in the Pre-Collision System has been detected. Do not rely on this system. 2/25/22 9:54 AM -Blind Spot Monitor System A malfunction in the Blind SPot Monitor System has been detected.

Picked up my Corolla Cross from the dealer a few weeks ago, it took a few months till it finally came in. This is a very solid, well made vehicle, reminds me of a larger Hyundai Kona which I owned previously. Lots of great tech and the mileage has been good so far too. Reminds me of a Rav 4's younger brother. The only downside is the road noise, I wish Toyota would have put more sound deadening material into this vehicle. Kudos to my local Toyota dealer who did not try to add thousands to the sticker price due to limited inventory. I am looking forward to years of dependability driving my new Corolla Cross. Bill fm Lawrence, KS. * 6 month update, Still enjoying my Corolla Cross, just had my free maint done. My only complaint would be in certain situations it is a bit under powered. Pulling out from a stop into moving traffic can be a bit tricky, the car does not have much low end power. I have read the hybrid model is more powerful, that may be a better choice to make. I am retired and do not drive every day. If this was a daily commuting car, I would definitely want more power and torque. As far as reliability and quality, no complaints ! UPDATE ONE YEAR LATER- It is one year later, pretty much the same with my Corolla Cross. As far as power, I am using the manual way to shift the automatic to pull out into traffic from a dead stop, it gives me a lot more power that way, M1, M2, M3, etc. The vehicle has been very reliable and mileage has been approx 30 mpg the past year. Only issues I had there was a air bag recall check, and a metal heat shield came loose underneath the vehicle that rattled, but my local dealer here in Lawrence KS, did a great job taking care of those issues for me. Kudos to Crown Toyota.

By far my favorite car I've ever driven. It's so smartly done and I love the way it handles. Very responsive steering and braking. Excellent on gas and I love the real time AWD, which my Rav 4 didn't have - it had to be engaged. I just love this SUV. Things some may consider cons, and to be considered when thinking of buying: it's not a speed demon. It does perfectly fine when it gets up to highway speeds but if you're looking for acceleration that blows you away this isn't that car. Space is adequate not plentiful. If you have a larger or growing family you may want to opt for the Rav 4 or Highlander. The front seat of the Cross is very comfortable, and there is smart storage in the cargo area but a couple sports bags will do a good job of filling it up. Overall I love it. Perfect for my needs.

Drove it for 4 weeks and I just love this car. For my driving style, it is perfect. It is smooth, low cabin noise while driving, good gas milleage, and comfortable. The only thing that is less positive is in the legroom on back seats (which is due to ample cargo space) otherwise a perfect drive.

This SUV has plenty of room and a great amount of trunk space. It drives smooth and seamless. There really is a big difference between the Corolla Cross and the Toyota C-HR. If you feel the RAV4 might be a little too pricey or too much space for what you’re looking for, the Corolla Cross is the car for you. I love my Corolla Cross LE!

Ordered the Corolla Cross to replace a 2016 Highlander Ltd. Loved the Highlander but wanted to downsize to a Toyota vehicle for our mostly city driving. Could not have made a better choice. I was not expecting a high-powered performance vehicle that sucks gasoline but wanted quality, flexibility and good gas mileage. The Cross fits perfectly. The transition has been interesting because of all the new technology since 2016 but am gradually learning all the capabilities of the car. Very roomy in the front seats although the back seats are a little tight but my dogs have not complained. Surprised at the rear storage capacity which is very good for an auto this size. Passed on the "adaptive" headlights since I questioned what they might do to on-coming drivers vision. Have had no problem with acceleration in traffic - what do you expect from a non-turbo 4 cylinder engine? Would I buy the Corolla Cross again? Absolutely! The only thing I miss is the built-in GPS which is not available on the Cross. Not everyone has or wants to use a cellphone for a GPS! Of course the auto manufacturers GPS offerings have not really been the best and the cost to update the mapping is ridiculous. Would love to see the automakers partner with Garmin to provide a built-in. I believe Toyota has created another winner in the Cross.

Have driven a Corolla for years I was excited that Toyota was upgrading it to a small SUV. I was disappointed with the feel of the seating, not comfortable at all. The design of the dash and screen placement is subpar. back seat room was almost nonexistent. The road noise level was way too loud and not much pep in it's step. Overall it is not worth spending my money on this car.

Overall the Toyota Corolla Cross is a pretty good little car. It gets really good gas milage and suites my needs for now. However, with less than 1500 miles on the car, the windshield randomly cracked to the right of my rearview mirror in a "J" formation. I have read that this is a common defect with Toyota vehicles. This is not covered under warranty. Also, if you you drive in snow conditions, you will want to turn off the auto correct steering function. I can't tell you how often it will attempt to overcorrect the car and put the car in a worse driving situation.

Just purchased my Toyota Corolla Cross XLE AWD. With limited availability purchased without test driving beforehand. Did research online and read reviews to get a feeling of the vehicle. When seen for first time, was impressed with style and size. It’s only been a few days owning, still figuring out all the technology and features. Only complaint I have is vehicle is supposed to have heated front seats, however the switches aren’t there to turn on? Window sticker shows car is equipped with the heated seats, as does the specs on the Toyota app? Seats are wired for the electric to heat, so Toyota what happened to installing the switches to activate them?

I have recently purchased the 2022 Corolla Cross L FWD (Sonic Silver). If I don't write a review, that will be injustice to this excellent vehicle. Due to this chip shortage, I had to preorder it, before even seeing or test driving it. I was looking into the YouTube videos to have some idea. My concerns were: 1. FWD rear wheel torsion beam suspension: I have driven CRV multilink and corolla cross torsion beam one after another. I was not able to notice the difference. Torsion beam was noticeable in 11th generation corolla sedan, which is not in Corolla cross. May be there is some change in construction of the suspension. 2. Rear seat legroom: It looks to me perfect. 3. Visibility: Excellent visibility. 4. Cargo space: Perfect should be the word. 5. Exterior: This is one of the beautiful Toyota I should say. 6. Cabin air noise: Driven a 2022 Corolla sedan and Cross one after another. Cabin air noise level is same as corolla sedan. 7. Tire/ Road noise: Same or less compared to corolla sedan. 8. Engine noise inside the cabin: Corolla cross uses a 2.0 L naturally aspirated engine which is used in corolla hatchbacks. This engine can be loud naturally at certain RPMs. So engine noise at certain RPM inside the cabin can be high. But it looks to me OKAY. Lets see how long it can last!

First month of driving this car experienced low rattling sound in the engine like something loose then next couple of months sound was higher when engine cold,Sound like tractor and transmission also sound like something loose but when I take it to service they keep saying nothing wrong with the car although Toyota mechanics and manager where able to hear that sounds of engine and transmission so frustrating that absolutely no one including Toyota customer care don’t want to fix this problem.

The vehicle began to vibrate on the way home on the first day. As I pulled over on the side of the road, a message appeared on the display that the engine had stopped, steering power was low, pull over to a safe location. I parked on the shoulder and the vehicle would not start again. The dealership has confirmed the engine needs to be replaced. I understand that, percentage-wise, there will be some issues in any vehicle line but I am incredibly frustrated to be dealing with this after waiting months for it to arrive.

In all my years of owning different vehicles from Ford, General Motors, Chrysler, Honda, Mazda Subaru, and Volkswagen I have found Toyota Cross to be my number one in choice of all the cars I have owned. I ordered it in June and had to wait until the last of September for it to arrive but it was worth the wait! I have not found any thing that I don't like about this vehicle. It is tight and does not have any rattles or noises. The seats are comfortable and everything works the way it was supposed to work.The gas mileage is amazing [34 mpg] around city driving and 41 on a longer trip. I chose the silver color and the dealer applied the paint protection package and it surprises me that it stays clean as though it just came out of the show room. I added some after market products to add to my car [$50 for a cd player that works beautifully through my sound system, for instance] and they improve its looks considerably!

Got this last month and I am over the moon for this vehicle. I had owned a Camry but wanted to downsize to something that would give good gas mileage and a few more modern gadgets. I bought the L because I am the only person in the world who doesn’t like the push starts. So mine has a key. This vehicle checks all the boxes for me except one. When on the highway, you will notice it’s a bit sluggish. The engine really works when you are getting the speed up. A bit disappointed by that. But it is beautiful to drive, it has a lot of space, the sound system on thd l model is wonderful, it’s just a well designed visionary vehicle that is made for people who don’t want the cost and intimidation of buying a rav….it also has the incredible Toyota name and I really believe this will be a game changer in the North American market with fuel prices on the rise. I hope they come up with a camping tent to make this extra cool for nerds like me:)

I had watched the Toyota press conference on the Cross and eagerly awaited it's release. I always have done the base model for past Toyota's as they have more than enough tech/performance/etc.. Super happy with the Cross. Handles amazing, good acceleration and great gas mileage. Great standard sound system, leg room is ample and prefect storage space in the back. This really is a great sized vehicle not too big but not small and the ground clearance is really high up. Really only 1 big CON so far is that on the L Model there is no rear window wiper. Seems odd to me that Toyota did not have this standard. Cannot say enough good things about this vehicle.

Aside from the fact that this thing doesn't have enough power to get out of its own way I started having problems before the second month of ownership. Shaking in the front end, plastic pieces on outside of door come loose, pocket in front wheel well allows snow and debris to get in then the plastic rubs against the tires, plastic accordion in sunroof popped off track and got crunched up in sunroof, driver window was cracked open and was clearly making a noise of hitting metal however I was told there was a pebble inside my door, (how does that happen,) engine runs rough at idle, and it jerks into drive from a complete stop at times. I fully do not recommend this vehicle for anyone. Especially after having it looked at by a field tech and being told it is normal! Sadly because of this, I will never have another toyota! *Update@24 months. It is in the process of being bought back by toyota. Standing water in the back floorboards under the weathertech mats caused MOLD To grow on the upside of the carpet. When they took it apart it was found that the mold was significantly worse underneath and there was more standing water there.

I’ve had my Corolla Cross XLE AWD for almost 7 months. i love everything about this vehicle. I was looking for an SUV and this was my perfect match. it’s comfortable for long trips as i do a lot of traveling, it gets great MPG, and on the cheaper side for gas for an SUV. the only down falls i would say are it doesn’t come with a sunglasses holder so i have to keep them in the center console, the AC/HEAT power is not very strong, and the acceleration is pretty slow but for me it doesn’t bother me that much. the pros to the car is it’s very comfortable while driving long distance, you do get a lumbar support. a lot of reviews say the cabin is loud at high way speeds but i don’t think it’s very loud since my previous cars were sedans/low to the ground so the cross is a lot quieter for me. The ABS system is wonderful as it helped me in a situation of icy roads, apple car play/android auto is a very nice feature. it has blue LED interior lights that are in the cup holders and door handles and they get brighter when parked. The rear view mirror dims at night when headlights are shined behind you, i wish they made the side mirror dim but they did not for this car, but having that one mirror dim is definitely nice. auto high beams are a very nice feature and the headlights are VERY bright. overall, wonderful car, the cypress is a lot prettier in person. wonderful job Toyota. I had to update my review but i wanted to say the Lane Keep Assist is wonderful!! it’s one of the best ones i have seen. the vehicle does a wonderful job keeping the vehicle in lane and does a great job even on turns. if you have this feature on your cross, turn on your cruise control and use your lane assist and witness it for yourself. it blew me away!

I drive a 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross for work. I'm a Medical Courier and this vehicle really stands up to the high mileage. My personal vehicle is a 2002 Toyota RAV4 and I loved it. My daughter bought a 1018 RAV4 and as far as I'm concerned, that was the last good year for RAV4. We have a 2019 and 2021 RAV4 at work and they accelerate slowly and shift chunky. The Corolla Cross is more like the old RAV4's. I always thought I would buy a RAV again, but not anything after 2018. Now I would buy a Corolla Cross. I find it handles well and I hit the freeway on ramps at freeway speeds. It does just fine. I also have a leather steering wheel in my 2002 RAV. I missed that about the 2019 and newer RAVs. This 2022 Corolla Cross has a leather wrapped steering wheel. If I were to get a new car now, it would be a Corolla Cross.

We were driving to Florida when my beloved 2013 Highlander broke down. Fixing was going to take a day and a half away from our family trip. Inventory at all Toyota dealerships have been scarce for months now. We figured all costs and age of my car and decided to trade. The only small SUV on the lot was a Cross Hybrid. We bought it and boy do we have buyers remorse. Stupid idea of no spare tire, a repair kit in the trunk. The backseat is not spacious, cheated out of one back seat pocket, middle console can only hold a pair of glasses. Too many gadgets for a person over 60 to learn. When you change lanes it is quite difficult because there is a type of force that makes it scary in high speed traffic. Wireless charging pad is not compatible with every phone. I'm sorry to say that from our experience with Toyotas, this car is a hard pass.

Don't know what people are talking about love my cross has plenty of power for what it is I think people are expecting too much power for what they're buying the computer-simulated shifts are well-simulated compared to other cvt's out there good ride for what we are buying also I just don't know why people are being so hard on this compact CUV? I mean its a Corolla not a Highlander

This is my first crossover vehicle - transitioning from a 2017 Subaru Impreza. I've driven the corolla cross LE with AWD for 5 months now and I really love it. The interior is very comforting and while I wouldn't call it luxurious, it's definitely nice and a big upgrade from my previous car. I opted in for a sunroof, and it is great. It's definitely a bit slow at accelerating but is fine once it hits your desired speed. It drives SO smoothly and has a lot of safety features which I like. Soundsystem is great! And pretty decent on gas for a larger car. Highly recommend if you are looking for a crossover vehicle.

Cross XLE pros and cons

Just got a new blue crush xle and I’m really enjoying the car except for a few things I noticed. Pros: nice design and look. I wrapped the top with metallic black and blacked out all the emblems. Looks amazing with the tinted windows. I like the main console screen in front of steering wheel…lots of options and nice bright colors . People upgrading from a regular car will really appreciate the height. Push button tailgate is a big bonus…you usually do not get this in this size car. Never had one but now I can’t live without it I find it spacious in the front All the extra electronic stuff is great and works well Seats are comfortable and electronic settings with back support is great I love the Toyota connect app…allows you to do many things remotely through your phone like start the car. Information it collects is really interest as well Cons: can’t find a way to turn off lights manually. It has an auto and an on …no off…found that odd Compared to the other carmakers, the infotainment screen seems a bit outdated Not too crazy about the seat material. Reminds me of pleather. I would have like the option of cloth seats in the xle I noticed some worrying gaps around the headlights, trunk an where the spoiler meets the roof. Seems big enough to cause some long term damage in engine dirtiness and rust. Hope Toyota did proper testing for these gaps for Canadian winters I looked at another xle and same gaps. A bit noisy when driving. Expected a quieter ride for an xle. Toyota connect is only free for one year and then you have to pay monthly. Definitely a money grab that will force you to buy other things as well Odd that the muffler can be easily seen from the back…seems a bit low and maybe problematic when driving over snow The look overall is great…the only thing missing is an exhaust tip. Surprised it was not offered on the top trim like most other cars. Or at least put the pipe straight through a cut out modded bumper in the back and give the consumer the option to add one on his own. The current pipe bends down giving it a cheap look.

Admittedly, we didn't test drive more than a couple others before buying the Corolla Cross. Let's face it.....the popular ones are hard to find at dealerships these days. No matter, we were sold on this SUV the moment we got in it. We already have a Corolla, and my wife had been driving a RAV4. But she wanted something a little smaller & nimble. Plus, she doesn't like leather seats & the RAV4 only offered black cloth. The Cross was the perfect answer & the price is SO reasonable. If you've looked around, you know it's tough to find a reliable SUV under $30,000! We LOVE the Corolla Cross. We've only put 10,000 miles on it so far but haven't had a lick of trouble. It's the perfect SUV for us & with names like Toyota and Corolla, you really can't go wrong!!!

Biggest thing for me was that there is not enough legroom anywhere in this vehicle. At a little over 5’6 i found my knees starting to be strained after a few weeks of driving it. Its tight in the rear passenger section too. I sat jn the back for a trip and couldnt believe how tight it felt. It’sslow. But I really didnt mind how sloww as it drove smoothly and safetly. Thats said. I finally traded it and got something roomier and satisfyingly faster.

Not a good vehicle for tall drivers, anyone at 6 foot will have a hard time of it with this vehicle. Would love to see Toyota make a quality small SUV for a tall driver...!...That also gives room to back seat passenger. There is plenty of length in this vehicle they just need to adapt it.

I purchase my Toyota Cross in September 2023 and by December 2023. I wish I never purchased this car. This car has the most uncomfortable ride and I've been using the car for rideshare and the seat is quite uncomfortable for long periods of time that I've developed a right hip problem from my hip riding on the seat belt or from the cushioning. Not quite sure I would not recommend this car

Just picked up Toyota Corolla cross XLE 2022. It very sluggish in taking off. Compared to a scion Tc I had before. I thought Toyota is a good vehicle but I'm disappointed in this one. Cheap dash material. The console could have been little bigger. I don't like that you have to hold down the window button to open but not to close it. The lane departure is on the side mirrors. What's the point in having such a large screen in the vehicle and not have it on the screen. It's not very sealed, it's loud. The steering is a little shaky not firm for a new vehicle. I'm very disappointed after waiting so long to pick up.

The good: A practical hatchback that is easy to steer and has AWD for inclement weather. Great for first time drivers and seniors. Stereo has surprisingly good sound. And with limited power under the hood, your high-school senior can't get into too much trouble. Good outward visibility. The not-so-good: Not a "driver's car" (although not much made by Toyota is.) Quite under-powered, 0-60 in about five minutes, especially with passengers. Audible turn signals are beyond annoying, and they can't be silenced or lowered- I frantically researched it. So you either go slowly mad or start finding ways to not use them- probably not a good thing. Fasten your seat belt or THAT alert will also destroy you. Cup holders are tiny- not good for most contemporary water bottles, seem designed for a 12 oz. can of Coke and that's it.

Had been looking at new cars for about a year and was looking for something a little bigger since our family was growing. With the way the market is and it's limited availability for new vehicles I bought this car without seeing or test driving. Drove it home and loved it until I put car seats in it. I'm an averaged height guy at 6'. In the passenger seat and the seat back as far as it can go with the car seat in my knees are up against the dash, in driver seat I have about 1" between my knees and the dash. My wife at just under 5'7" is uncomfortable in it as she feels the seat is to straight up and she is leaning to far forward but cannot recline because she would have to move the seat forward which would put her knees in dash. I would not recommend buying this vehicle if you have kids in car seats or are taller than 6'. Other than how tiny the cabin is this is a great driving vehicle and it is a toyota so will last and have a high resale value.

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.

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.

To the frustrated owner that said their cross stalled the first day. I bought a Toyota 2023 Cross 4 weeks ago. It also stalled the first day and once since that. The dealership told me it is in the button in front of the shifter, the circle with an A on it. Toyota is aware of it. I keep the button off now. It is very frustrating. If I could sell it back, I would. Other than that, it is a nice car. I hope they find the solution to this.

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

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.
