I have driven a Rav4 for 4 years (leased car) and now purchased a new Corolla Cross. My thoughts: Rav4 is just a born cruiser, there is no distance that would make you feel any kind of back pain or anything like that, even over 1000km in one day was not a problem. It felt heavy while driving, siting position was more SUV-like. Fuel consumption combined was 5.6l/100km. On the other hand, Corolla Cross feels surprisingly similar to drive in the front seats yet the siting position is more toward just a hatch back than an SUV. It is smaller in size so indeed, space in the back seats and in the trunk is a different league compared to Rav4. But for a family of 4 is absolutely fine, which Rav4 will also easily handle a family of 5. Fuel consumption in Corolla Cross with the same driving style is 4.8l/100km and driving this car in the city is way easier compared to Rav4. So, to sum this up, I would recommend Rav4 for slightly bigger families (more people and luggage to fit inside) or when someone does long journeys on regular basis. Corolla Cross is much better for city / suburban area and when you would need to take it for a longer drive few times a year it will also do it well. Both cars seem quite identical from the engine power point of view with a slight advantage on the Corolla Cross side - feels a little bit more punchy (and at the same time just a little bit noisier on a highway). Would I switch back to Rav4? Well, in my use case scenario (family of 4, majority of driving is 50-60km a day and 4-5 times a year a longer, like 1000km, journeys) Corolla Cross is a better choice. One last thing - I think that if you or your family members are really tall (over 6 foot and 2" / 188cm) or a bit, as it was said in the material, "generously weighted", or have or need to fit the child seats at the back (it is doable in the Corolla Cross but is a way easier in the Rav4) then the Toyota Rav4 is the car for you (taking seat at the back in the Corolla Cross is just a bit of acrobatics). I hope this helps 😀.

Wish more comparisons were based on the base or mid level models. Most can’t afford top of the line trim levels.

The 2023 rav4 has updated tech. The instrument cluster is now fully digital like the Corolla and the infotainment system has been updated.

In America u gotta wait months, here in Australia we gotta wait 2 years 😂😂😂

I'll take the Cross, its the perfect size for me, nice for around town and for outings...the AWD!

I have owned the 2020 RAV4 XLE, and just picked up the 2022 Cross XLE. The RAV4 definitely feels more truck-like than the Cross. We haven't had any snow yet this year, so I can't comment on the Cross. The RAV4 was very good in the snow. You stated it had 16" wheels, but mine came with 18" wheels

I love the RAV4 because of the front and also the whole car as well. Good looking

Good review, I would like to see the Corolla cross vs the Yaris cross, think that would be interesting, keep up the good work 👍

Expert comparison and great job as usual...Thnx AJ :-)

Thank you for this excellent and comprehensive comparison. This is just what we needed to see before going into a dealership.

One of the best reviews on RAV4 vs. Corolla. Thanks!

Thank you for the rear seating room for tall people, I’ve been looking for a good rear seat review.

You can't expect the "electric drive" mode to be something you could rely on city center for driving through. It's OK to maneuver in a parking garage for couple of minutes and that's it. The system is meant to be changing all the time between electric and hybrid mode. A full battery depletes pretty fast

Ive tested and seen them both. Rav4 is much much better in terms of quality of materials. And the price being so close, the corolla cross just cant justify its high price :(. Its like a low cost car when you look inside :(

Love both car but RAV4 is really looking more rugged and beautiful 🤩

I like this comparison. We just purchased a 23 Rav4 hybrid. It hasn't quite come in yet, but driving the demo vehicle was great. Thought about the Corolla Cross, but the smaller size for about the same cost didn't make sense here in the US. After 14 years with a Ford Escape hybrid (180K miles, great vehicle). We are sold on hybrids.

5:45 - That balls scratch :D

Enjoyed the review and would agree with the RAV4 comments. I've had my RAV4 nearly three years and may change it at three years old, so useful info for me, thanks

My family and I just purchased a Corolla Cross. We absolutely LOVE IT!!! We went from a Sienna to a Cross. It is smaller but for the money it’s totally worth getting into a Cross. To be honest I didn’t see or feel that much of a difference. For the value I go for the Cross!

Bro you did an amazing job with this. i really appreciate it. you changed my mind from the Corrola Cross to the Rav4. all the detail i wanted to know that the website didn't offer.

I had ordered a Corolla Cross in Mexico with a 4 months delay for delivery :When I realized that the price was raisng each month and it was almost the same price as a RAV4,, I got desilusioned and I cancelled the order.

The conclusion in this review captures why both these cars exist at the same time. The RAV4 is geared towards families. It's for buyers who need that legroom for their kids, who need that extra cargo space in the back, hence why it wins those comparisons. The Corolla Cross is not optimized for family hauling. Its target demographic is singles and couples looking for more space and better driving visibility than a car and general SUV capabilities to enable out of town trips. Toyota will never create two products that cannibalize each other.

Very good presentation, honest appraisal and useful comparing two cars.

Definitely the Rav 4 , keep in mind the new rav4 2023 has the same tech has the cross

Excellent review. Thank you!

Corolla Cross isn’t that small compared to RAV4…it’s actually quite big compared to other cars in the sub-compact SUV segment. It’s much more than the Corolla hatchback…so a little zonk for your review…rest all good with your review…cheers!

Thanks for bringing us this content, so well done!

Hey great comparison! My wife drives the new Corolla Cross and I’m thinking buying the RAV4. For the Corolla Cross i can also confirm that the consumption is between 5 - 6 l/100km. For the RAV4 i doubt that it consume only 7L/100..Maybe the Plug In one is better choice but also expensive..

During the interviews for the intern position, Tomas would be “let me measure your leg’s length”

Thanks for this video. I currently own a 2021 RAV4 and I am quite happy with it. Note, my wife drives a 2008 Highlander which is good but gas mileage is not as good as the RAV4 (20 MPG versus 28-30 MPG for the RAV4). However, I am looking to purchase another Toyota SUV and the Corolla Cross is one of the vehicles that I am looking at. Things I like about the RAV4: plenty of space, 28-30 MPG, smaller and a bit more maneuverable than the 2008 Highlander, and updated safety features. Things I like about the Corolla Cross: Smaller and more maneuverable than the RAV4, similar features to the RAV4 (my daughter is learning to drive in the RAV4 and she has mentioned that she definitely likes to drive the RAV4), Better gas mileage than the RAV4 (32 MPG versus 28-30 MPG for the RAV4), and Cheaper. So, I think I will keep the RAV4 and get the Corolla Cross for my wife. I'll let my daughter keep driving the RAV4 and start learning how to drive the Highlander. Eventually, she will most likely be driving the Corolla Cross. :)

Great indepth comparison. I am checking your other videos now.

Thanks for the excellent review. Question: Do you think is worth paying EUR 2,500 for the AWD technology on the Corolla Cross?

when you ask for visual comparison comments it would help the viewer by your providing views that give a simultaneous view of both vehicles. Similarly, when you are presenting measurements facts it would help the viewer if you provided them in simultaneous tabular format. Say Hi to Thomas. I know that he would prefer the corolla simply because it is BLUE!

'If you have a second car, a bigger car, for the whole family. Than the Toyota Corolla Cross is a much better pick, because the compact dimensions make it easier in the city even more...' The measurements of the Toyota Corolla Cross are 4,46m. x 1.83m. THAT'S NOT COMPACT. A compact car is usually around 4m.x 1,73m. That's my only criticism, otherwise very well substantiated review, keep it up!👍

Here is a neat trick to get more rear leg room behind passenger side. Move the front seat more forward and recline it back a little. This is my driving position also. Does everyone have to be 7 ft tall and sit in the rear. Have your tall friend drive his larger car instead, just give him some gas money. Also for the CVT noise, don't most ppl listen to music or want to hear all the car and road noise so it shouldn't be a deal breaker. Luxury cars has more sound deadening and premium sound system. You wouldn't want to waste that unless you are very old and rich and don't like music. You only love having lots of money and focus on business and not pleasure.

Love this detailed review!

I like the look of the Corolla Cross better. Whether it looks like an SUV or not does not matter to me. I also think that SUV’s waste all kinds of space compared to minivans. I have never felt “soccer Dad Dissed”. Besides, I need to cart mode airplanes around! Economical operation would be my best-all and end-all. In (northern) North America, with our typically cold winters, hybrid (plug-in would be nice) is a must.

Excellent review )

Good review... This guy is just as good as Thomas :-) It looks like that the Corolla (and maybe also the Rav) engine will get very dirty when driving on wet roads

Thank you for finally mentioning the FISH FACE. Maybe a *carp* searching the bottom mud? Is this a marketing strategy to convince buyers unappealing vehicles must be really good when they sell or is there a hidden message? Toyota's styling is in a slow lane for years now. Both vehicles are a good investment due to their reliability. Your reference to "Atkins cycle" is as clear as the mentioned fish habitat. Atkinson cycle ( if that is what you meant) implements delaying action of intake valves to save fuel and was here long before the invention of CVT.

Thank you for this detailed review. Honestly I have toured and understood both cars. Is Cross a Fielder that was modified??

best review i was looking for this for very long

is the current Toyota RAV4 a popular small SUV within Germany? Thanks!

Just bought the RAV4 hybrid a month ago, loving it 😍

Do these have adaptative cruise control? i.e. can they drive in traffic braking and accelerating alone?

You cannot make a choice as you are most likely to wait 24 months for a delivery for both of them. Just crazy!

Very useful video, could you please make a video compare Toyota corolla cross hybrid and lexus NX300 hybrid

The only issue with this review is the trims. People dont mention the trims in their videos and people get confused.

Very good review !

Corolla Cross is a PRIUS SUV.. reliable engine and transmission system, best system for the next decade or two especially for people not wanting to live at a charging station ! With all wheel drive, plenty of city torque and newest electronics it offers a better system than all other sized competition from VW, BMW,FORD, etc

Good review my friend 👍

You can't go wrong since they're both reliable and great on fuel

Thank you for the great review. After debating RAV4 vs Toyota Corolla cross, I just got the Toyota cross in Germany and I’m loving it! After your review I’m glad I got the cross not rav 4. the feel is great and it looks beautiful. Thank you.

I do not notice the issues with a CVT that everyone describes. There is lag in a normal automatic transmission too.

Such a nice review! Could someone inform me about the colour of the Corolla cross? Is it blue crush?

You said 16” wheels for the Corolla Cross, they are 18”

Great review, thanks

Great review. Will there be a phev with the Corrola Cross?

Wow my friend 👍 Wonderful opinions for comparison between the 2 SUVs. Corolla Cross: 5 to 8 thousand$ Cheaper, better milage, newer 5th generation hybrid as oppose to RAV4's 4th hybrid technology, better Latest TSS 3.0... Corolla Cross Hybrid is much easier to drive and park plus much more better MPG mileage, just a very little less is seating and cargo storage - but for me, I would recommend the Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid👍👌

I wish this comparison had been made between the gasoline-only models as opposed to the hybrid models, which not everybody buys. 😒

I’m interested in the RAV4, but, does it come with electric adjustable side views mirror, for example when you start it the mirror comes out, and can you start it remotely like in James born movie? please let me know!!! Thanks

2023 rav LTE hybrid is what I'm getting, I'm soo excited!

I've liked and subscribed Thank you 👏👏👏👏👏👏 I have a RAV4 I am 75yrs old I find the RAV4 very easy to get in and out I don't do a lot of mileage 8,000 miles a year compared to the RAV4 what's the ease of getting in and out I am a widower so I don't space just easy getting in and out your thoughts please thank you

Schöne Farbkombination!

Compared to the Honda HR-V, the Corolla Cross looks very cheap inside. The fabric seats, the plastics, the boring design. And even though it is more than 10 cm longer, there is much less space in the back seats. Yes, you can carry more luggage in the boot, but you also don´t get Honda´s magic seats. So I am happy with the Honda!

I like both cars so I have the Rav4 and also ordered the Corolla 😁

Hi guys! Took the Corolla Cross 2 liter Hybrid on a test drive and I found the engine sound becomes quite loud and unrefined during quick acceleration. I think they saved on some more noise insulation here. Is the RAV4 sound much quieter during acceleration? Other than the "acceleration noise" and the traffic sign recognition, I liked the Corolla Cross, though.

Good comparison...!.

I'm considering both these vehicles. I'm about 6 foot 2 and 3/4 inches in height. I rarely have passengers in my vehicle. Mostly I want fuel efficiency but not at the cost of comfort. I have bad knees that I find feel better in SUVs. I was hoping to save money on the Cross hybrid over the rav4 hybrid. Though some people tell me because I drive so little I shouldn't own a hybrid. My main question to anyone who is around my height is will I be comfortable driving the Cross hybrid?

I totally don't understand complaints about the engine sound. You want sport sensations, you buy a sport car. What did you expect from famly friendly crossovers?

The Hybrid Cross is not available in the U.S., yet! The RAV4 is getting dated IMO. We drove a 2021 XSE RAV4 and it's underpowered for its size. It needs the Venza engine and horsepower, at least for the U.S. market with our long drives and major highways. For around town, to/from work and on short trips, the Corolla Cross Hybrid is the perfect blend of practicality, functionality, updated Tech., and better gas mileage.

how do you compare the corolla cross hybrid system with the one on Honda's new HRV e:HEV? Thanks

I like any interior without fabric. Not easy to clean.

Corolla cross looks more functional. No real extra crap they are stuffing into new cars.

Thank you 🙏.

Yea all cool and stuff, can we talk about supply chain issue which doesn’t exist that dealers are emphasizing to drive car prices

Not a word about suspension softness of hardness.

How’s the fuel consumption on the rav4 ?

What is the gas milage of this vehicle in hybrid mode? i read somehere it was 38? that is not that good unless other engines are available.

2:13 What a huge nose the Corolla Cross has ! Even as a crossover you should provide a minimum of off road abilities. With that huge overhang you can't even approach a normal curb.

Don't like the cup holders on the cross. Not sure about the screen either. Back seat would be issue

It was necessary to take the Corolla Lounge version🔥🔥🔥👍 for comparison with RAV 4

Great review thanks I love spacious car/suv , I want to feel comfortable on my seat with wide front and back view , toyota make great engines and transmissions , I just dislike this weird big screen which stand in front blocking the front view and give you limited access to dashboard eg when you want to wipe it from dust , why they just make it part of dashboard block 😊

I love the sequentials on the CC Europe model... wish North America got that...

Both seems like nice cars but all else aside is any of them helpfully 4WD when pulling a boat trailer up a boat ramp from stand still? It's a deal breaker.

My 2017 Escape was totaled. I’m in the market for a new car. I think I’m returning to Toyota, I’ve had a Corolla and 2 Camrys. There’s something about the RAV4 I dont care for. I’ll have to try out the Corolla Cross

If you are going for the lower class of the Corolla Cross, you'd be better off going with the Kia Sportage. If you want to just save money, go with the Subaru Crosstrek, which is actually an offroad vehicle.

Hi there, can you please put here which model year for these cars in your comparison?!

I know availability and all that but why compare compare an old model RAV4 without mentioning it? The 2023 Cross has the more up to date safety features but both 2023 models have the same infotainment system.

I have a love hate relationship with both of these 😂. Love the exterior of the RAV 4 but felt like i was sitting way too upright while driving. Like the interior of the Cross more but hate all the black plastic on the exterior

THe Rev 4. is 10 thousand more, and I dont see its worth it,,,, 10 grand. no way. I bought a cross. love it

@ 6:58 "If you anything about Toyota's that they are not the quickest to innovate". Not entirely true. Toyota has introduced countless world's first but they often keep these to JDM only vehicles. The Toyota Crown had a full digital color display dash all the way back in 2008 some 10 years before german luxury makers started using digital dash.

Why do other countries get better exterior details?

…and don’t forget the Yaris cross. We get that rather than the Corolla cross in the UK

2023 Rav4 has the tech upgrades now

Great detailed review thanks! I recently test drove both of these cars. The Corolla has an unacceptable noisy CVT drone, is too cramped & has lower quality, than the RAV4. I bought an almost new RAV4, for the same cost, as this overpriced Corolla.

My rav4 has the same multimedia system as the corolla cross and the instruments is completely digital just as in the corrola cross, same 12.3inch display

i don't know why,,i seem to the front gril of corolla cross look like opposite 🤔🤔
