Toyota continues to lean heavily into the hybrid market, with the 2024 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid XSE. This vehicle is all about getting from A-to-B efficiently and reliably and affordably. It's a Corolla on stilts, with Toyota's 5th generation hybrid/all-wheel-drive system. The system makes a combined 196-hp, with power coming primarily through the front wheels via an internal combustion engine and an electric motor, while the back picks up the slack as needed with a separate, smaller electric motor. A third electric motor helps to get the engine going, along with helping to power the other two motors. This thing sips gas, with a rating of 45 mpg city, 38 highway, and 42 combined. Is this $30k Corolla crossover worth a second glance? Let's go ahead and take a look.

If you spec the car that you have reviewed it is closer to $36 000+.The options on that car may push it over $37,000. No way could you get much of any discount at most Toyota dealers so that price of $30,000 is more of a lower trim.

Fair point. XSE trim starts around 31k, but after the additional packages and destination it's closer to 36k. I should've been clearer on the price. Appreciate the comment!

If had 4 Toyota SUV and 2 cars. I stopped buying Toyota because I can’t convince my wife to buy a new car every 5 years. But with your review I will buy the Toyota Cross . Thanks.

We don't get Changan cars in the States, unfortunately, so I'm not familiar with them

Toyota should have axed the cross and build a small truck. The wait list in my area for a Ford Maverick is 2-3 months.

Is this car silver? It doesn’t look like the silver Cross I’ve seen in photos online. Maybe it’s just due to the trees in the background?

Yep, this is Sonic Silver

It's almost like Toyota goes out of their way to make their vehicles look as cheap & budget-built as possible...& then charges a premium price for them.

@GearboxCarReviews 22 күн бұрын

Yeah, they're definitely underwhelming in the looks and interior touches departments. Most other automakers have managed to get the "cheap" stuff to not feel quite as cheap, but Toyota is holding back a bit. I think the price is still about right though. The thing about the Toyota tax is that you get it back when you go to sell it.

No 12v outlet in the luggage compartment is pretty incredible. A 20 year old Lancer has that.

I really like the ease of driving this car, but I didn’t like the lack of the or position of the arm rest arm rest so I didn’t buy it. It’s sits far back and so tiny.🤷🏻‍♀️

@alanjm1234 22 күн бұрын

I thought one of these might be a good option for my neice, who's a mother of a two year old and soon to have another baby. But no kick to open tailgate and no 12v in the luggage space is pretty incredible in 2024.

@GearboxCarReviews 21 күн бұрын

It's pretty bare bones. It's strange because they offer kick to open in other countries. But oftentimes the smallest crossovers in the lineup are last to get the latest features. The Rav4 has it, and there are some other compact and subcompact crossovers around that do, just unfortunately not this one.

Hey, interior designer. How about a little info on the mechanics.

@GearboxCarReviews 16 күн бұрын

Trying to cover as much as I can without making a 2 hour long video 🤷 I mentioned the hybrid system setup and transmission, and tried to pick things that the majority of people will care about. But I'm happy more than happy to answer other questions.

Most Toyotas for the past several years have had a similar look. Kind of like a frustrated baby about to scream. I call it the "Greta Thunberg" design.

This car doesn't come from the factory with run-flat tires.

@GearboxCarReviews 22 күн бұрын

I appreciate that correction! I could've sworn I found that the Goodyear Assurances were run-flats somewhere, but now I'm seeing that is not correct. I will cut that comment out of the video. I appreciate it!

Seems like the car doesn't come with much at all...
