The Corolla name stands for many things to many people. So, placing a popular nameplate like that on a SUV should equate to a winner, right? More so if it’s a hybrid because fuel efficiency is the name of the game these days.
Well, that’s what the 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid hopes to accomplish. After all, it has decent looks, enough poke for all but the most lead-footed of drivers, a fair amount of bells and whistles and a badge on its nose that is synonymous with reliability.
Easy win, then? Not so fast…
Join Gregory as he discovers why a landslide victory might not be on the cards.

Oh it's Greg! Good presentation. IMO the Corolla Cross Hybrid is definitely the best all around family SUV for the price point. (For non national brand)

@prithambalakrishnan 2 жыл бұрын

Well presented, Mr. Gregory! 👍 Hope to see you more in the reviews! A good SUV! 👍 Toyota surely is very reliable even with their hybrid or EV! Minor complaint is that Toyota could have given the infotainment as a real stand alone position instead of having the housing on the back. Toyota may have reasons for that but is a minor complaint. Driver seat is lacking a back pocket as well which Toyota could have given that. Overall, this SUV is solid and attracts!

I like hrv design, epb/auto hold & honda sensing but love tcc driving experience, comfier than hrv & it feels like driving a bmw for me. Some says it’s an aunty car but others like it’s perfomance. Same goes to hrv, some says it’s a boring car but I guess young ppl love it sleek design & latest specs.

Using C segment platform but shorter wheelbase, no rear multilink suspension and underpower. The price range already set at B segment, so can't be a C segment car. If I want buy a C segment SUV, Cross will never in my list.

@esk4105 Жыл бұрын

But comparing between HRV and Corolla Cross for wheelbase, Corolla Cross has bigger wheelbase than HRV. Comfort and boot space for Corolla Cross is also better than HRV. Honestly, comparing between Corolla Cross and HRV, Corolla Cross is better than HRV as Corolla Cross comes with BSM, RCTA, 360 camera and front parking sensors as HRV lacks. Even reliability for Toyota is also better than Honda.

@TheOne-ed1dv Жыл бұрын

Wheelbase not mean anything, just 3cm longer than HRV. If u go Cross passenger rear seat will more smaller than HRV. Only boot bigger only, space inside on Cross not like C segment, it more likely is a B segment SUV. Sales unit will prove which Brand more reliability.

Very nice exterior, although it looks somewhat similar to the new H-RV at first glance. The interior seems to be leaning more towards the 'clean' design and the type of materials used (more soft touch parts). The rear air-cond vents are nice to have but not really required in my opinion, since the car is not that big (as shown in the rear passenger's leg room space). Probably they could've removed it and use the budget for something more interesting such as better cameras for better resolution/full digital meter for the petrol variants/damped glovebox/back pocket for the driver's seat lol.

Audio quality is not good in this car. Quite painful to live with.

I kinda miss those days that local Toyota used Pioneer head units for the cars... Even my Vios NCP150 audio quality from stock HU and speakers sound much better than my current Cross Hybrid.

@zions6886 Жыл бұрын

C Segment but using torsion beam, footbrake, not to mention all the other lacking deets. For the hybrid price, top up a little more - you could get a better segment such as CRV and CX5 with better ride, handling and multilink suspension.

@esk4105 Жыл бұрын

Based on reliability for braking system, footbrake/manual parking brake is better than electronic parking brake. Besides, some of features for CRV and CX5 doesn’t have like what Corolla Cross Hybrid have. Even reliability for Toyota is better than HRV, although that Mazda is also more reliable than Honda
