Took delivery of our Corolla Cross Xs Hybrid at the end of November. Fuel consumption avg urban cycle is around 4.9l/100km. Went for long weekend away and avg is around 6.0l/100km. Hybrid all the way so far.

i have a 2022 toyota corolla cross xle that i bought in october and i absolutely love it and would recommend it to anyone. not only is it fantastic on gas but it’s also a fun car to drive. it’s got a lot of cool features

I have over 10years living with hybrids including legendary Prius and if u buy the hybrid to save fuel, think again( not that much difference, cause fuel saving is 80% driving style & 20% the technology can offer). Those manufacturer figures, just add 7-10% for real world figures if u hyper mile drive it. However, the exciting thing Is the hybrid instant torque( much better than RPM depended turbos in-real world).The core of hybrid is environmental benefits from less CO2 per kilometer. The last positive of hybrid ( particularly Toyota/Lexus) is undisputed reliability.Anyway, expecting better fuel in any SUV ( terrible wind coefficient design) is a pipe dream. 2010 Prius (Gen3) had a ,25 wind coefficient hence its polarizing looks( which I still luv madly).Good vid lady..

Any direct comparisons you'd care to make between the Corolla Cross and the Jolion? That's basically the choice for us right now, but my wife doesn't like the mesh sunroof that comes standard in their top model, which is the one I'm interested in. I think you expressed similar annoyance with one of your recent reviews, I forget which model now.

While I adore this Corolla Cross, I actually disagree. I’ve driven both, and can comfortably say I made the best choice (for myself) with my T-Cross 1.5 R-Line. Monthly instalments were about a R350 difference, which (again for me) made the T-Cross more worth it.

@@josh3221ify tbh not enough for me to justify the Corolla Cross over the T-Cross. Sure it’s definitely a subjective view. Drive both cars and tell me how different they feel. The kick down of the T-Cross is superior. The Corolla Cross felt a little bit choked/sluggish on the kick down. Turbo v NA I guess. The T-Cross was a far superior drive in my opinion. The VW DSG box vs the CVT of this car is a far nicer drive. And when you spend most of your time in a car, you look for these things. I took both on quite a lengthy test drive, and found myself missing something in the Corolla Cross. Wasn’t sure what it was until I got into the T-Cross. Don’t get me wrong, the Corolla Cross was a smooth drive and it’s stunning to look at, but for me the T-Cross won. Hence the reason I bought the T-Cross over the Corolla Cross.

Great review, objective information. I wonder what the standard non-hybrid variant delivers in terms of fuel consumption. Read somewhere that the petrol engine requires an oil spec of 0W-16 synthetic.😅Like water. Still a good package. Was watching the Dakar 2024. The Audi team' vehicle uses a parralel hybrid,the engine Is putely a generator, topping up the battery. The consensus is it used appropriately 1/3rd less fuel for the equivalent HP output.

Toyota sold 1,757 of them in the first month after launch, so their popularity cannot be denied. However what could have been a truly great vehicle is let down by an absolutley awful dashboard - I mean who designed that centre stack? An amateur? Time the gloss black trim disappeared for good too. Then there's the interior, black carpets, black seats, black seat belts, black door panels, black headliner, black dashboard, and not a contrasting colour stitch in sight. That's about as bland and unattractive as you can get, but I see there is a Terra Rosa option on this model. I'm not a fan of the sad-faced grille either.

Why do your titles have to start with "Juliet drives..."? We already know the test driver is Juliet. That music + sun glasses segment is starting to get tired. Please create something new. Lastly, the videos can be a bit more detailed. Things like the boot space, back seats capacity, option list if possible, etc. A 12-15 minutes video is not bad. For me it's not about watching the shortest and quickest video, but it's about watching the most informative video PS: I like your dry humour.

If you only keep your cars until the warranty runs out then the only other question is how much does the vehicle depreciate.
