2023 Toyota Corolla Cross L 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl CVT)
49 of 51 people found this review helpful
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.

Beware L Packaging - Toyota Petty

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

6-7 mm body gaps are beyond belief. I've never seen another vehicle with body gaps like this. You can almost adjust the door hinges without opening the doors. Is this a Toyota? I thought it was perhaps that the car was built at the new Mazda-Toyota assembly plant in Alabama. I visited my local Mazda dealer to examine CX-50's that were built at the same plant as the Corolla Cross. The Mazda has consistent, tight 3mm body gaps that were repeatable on all three vehicles I measured. Then it was clear: Toyota used cheap on the body tools and the interior of this car is an ocean of hard black plastic. Not going to age well. Having said that the Gen 5 hybrid drivetrain is really well sorted.

Definitely not a family car. After driving 3 different model Camry's for over 20 years, this car is a complete disappointment. Only reason I bought this cross is, I was having a difficult time getting in and out of the Camrys, since they were much lower to the ground than the SUV. Other than the gas mileage and the original reason for purpose, this cars performance is very poor. Noisy, very sluggish, no get up and go,. Guaranteed. I will not have this car very long.

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.

Of all Toyota's car that I had, this one is the worst! I was so happy to, finally, get a SUV smaller that a Rav 4 and, my expectations went out to a hole without end. First, let's talk about its price. Mine was $28,100 and, when I started negotiating here and there, they added $700 from nowhere. It is not Toyota's fault but the dealer for this one but, because the dealer says "Toyota," the company is responsible for everything their concessionaires do. My goal was to buy a Rav4, but it has 18 inches more. Eighteen inches means more money so, I was not in a huge mood to add more than $7,000 for a car to go to my work that is 4 minutes away from home. So, I decided to buy a Cross. The experience to drive it was a short 1-minute flat drive. FLAT... Important detail because its motor is the worst one that Toyota has. Before buying it, try to have a test drive on a hill. You will analyze better if you want to have such "investment." This is the second no, no, no for this car. Third, it's very light which helps you to save a lot of money in gasoline (which is a pro) but, if you take a hole (we have lots in Puerto Rico), you think that you are in a spaceship because it "flies." Another aspect that I am so concern is that no matter you have two hands on the wheel, the car wants to go to its own destiny. The last one, for now is that the basic model does not come with a rear windshield, and you need to clean it before you start to drive for your destination. In rainy days, this is not good because you have to use the mirror and cameras which are in the same condition as the back of the car. Good things: the interior features are good! Big space in the front and back to make comfortable guests.
