I purchased one a week ago. I absolutely love everything about it. I agree with everything in this video.

Thank you for the detailed review. I also appreciated your thoughts on the engine power. I have seen several reviews complaining about a lack of power on the highway and I wondered if they might be blowing it a bit out of proportion. It sounds like it is perfectly adequate for most people.

Thank you very much for the review David. Definitely answered a lot of questions.

Thanks for this unique perspective on the review, really appreciate it!

I love the unique perspective and insights of this channel.

My first time watching this gentleman, excellent review!

Thank you for the review. Excited to receive our unit next week!

Thank you for this really excellent video. Very detailed and informative. I've never owned a Toyota in all my driving years, but this vehicle seems to be perfect in so many aspects.

I plan on buying one next year and your review helped me make that decision. Hopefully the dealer markup on new vehicles will be over.

My wife had ordered one a few weeks ago looks like it will be here Friday. This really looks like a great little family car!

Had mine now for one year and love it

Thank you for this thoughtful review, sir.

Great video. Nice to hear an experienced engineers perspective.

Fantastic review 👍 Thank you! Can't wait to get mine 😊

Thank you David for the review, this vehicle seems to be the perfect fit for me. I'm in the Palm Springs area, average 2500 miles a year. I've heard that the A/C is excellent & the AWD handel's exceptionally well. Also the price is still in my financial range. Once again my family appreciates all you do for the Toyota community!👍

Had Toyota Matrix before trading up to Rav4. I see going to Toyota Cross in future as this would fit our neeeds. Good review & like all parts of review . Road test missing from many reviews so your feedback sealed the deal to check it out myself. 🇨🇦😎👍

first time to come across this channel , and 5 minutes in, just click Subscribe immediately . and finish thisvideo till the end, and did a repeat , just like David presentation very much. . and i am waiting for the hybrid corolla cross review

Thanks David for sharing this review. Very interesting and informative. Nice looking vehicle.

Excellent review all around!

I went to go look at the cross today. Wanted to get something for my mom. The back looks like a mini Sienna and has good trunk space for her costco run. Haha I'm leaning towards getting this car for her vs. Corolla sedan👍

Hi David love your channel and perspective. It would be great to add a decibel meter when reviewing your cars.

Thank you for your very informative video. We order one in Jan. and finally taking ownership Wed, From your video we have confidence on our choice,

Great review. Awaiting my order for February 22nd. Made at the Toyota Prospecton plant in South Africa. Blessings 🙌

Just picked one up last week. So far so good.

excellent video and channel sir

Have had a 1983 Tercel 4wd and 1988 Corolla Alltrac Wagons before that were also this size. Great cars and am looking forward to the Corolla Cross in Hybrid form to be sold here in Australia soon.

Great review. I will buy in the next 12 months.😉

Most underrated car..I ordered the hybrid

Good content 👌.

Great review. Only wish I can see is that there should be more torque at low to mid RPM for better acceleration/safer passing left of center line of slower vehicles, power seats on front passenger seat, up and down adjustable lumbar support on driver's seat, driver's seat memory and power folding mirrors at least on the XLE trim. All vehicles should come with an under hood blanket/sound insulator as added on the 2nd year (2020) of the current Rav4 generation. I will be looking at this when I need to replace my 17 year old Corolla that is still driving like new. So I just saw one at the dealership today. Not allowed to drive it due to Covid. I'm 5'10" tall and with winter boots on with a slight 1/2" sole, my head would barely touch the rear liftgate when opened. I will now look more at getting the Rav4 because I do not want to slouch everytime the liftgate is open and I will likely forget from time to time and hit my head.

David, always love your presentations. Can we order the CROSS with a 6SPD manual like in the sedan? I have a 2003 Corolla 5spd, but I’m really liking the CROSS.

I ordered my XLE in November and hope to get it soon. Though its lookin like 6 mnths. Have had my 2003 Corolla LE for 16 years, time for a change and in this Canadian weather im looking fwd to AWD

Cx30,Crosstrek and Corolla Cross I probably choose the cx30 more power and automatic transmission! Very good video 👍🏼

I don't want or need a turbocharged engine, something more to break down the road IMO. As for a Hybrid, I have to pass, I'm old school, this configuration with the AWD is all that I need!

Decided to get this one for my daughter 💕

Thank you for the thorough and unique review. I am considering the Corolla Cross because is is the perfect size. My only concern was the new factory quality which you resolved.

I will get this corolla for sure. I already have a 2019 rav 4. They styled this car perfectly. My wife can keep the rav4, unwell drive the corolla suv, cross.

I think the awd is more capable than the competition and bang for the buck.

GOOD JOBS. THANK, I buy Corolla cross.

i have the corolla cross with 2.0 engine. i use extreme driving style to get 5.0L/100km, which is 47 MPG. i never go over 100km/h, seldom let the engine go over 2500rpm when accelerating and hyper mill when ever possible. its a different kind of fun squeezing for MPG.

Hi. As a paint expert do you believe the white pearl color is better over years than the standard white? Tnks

the MPGs on that thing YESSS ❤

Thanks for the review. Looking for help, I have a 2017 Tundra with a front hitch so I can plow my driveway. Would love to buy a new 2022 Tundra, but have a hard time find a front hitch.

I would consider a hybrid version of the Cross. Love the design.

Hey David, my daily driver is a 5speed 2000 2Door RAV4 . Zero rust in salt country Canada! Shifts like new still. Made in Japan quality. The only car I would contemplate replacing it with is GR Corolla :)

Great review. Do you know if the actual suspension is beefier/heavier than in the normal Corolla even though it's built on the same platform?

@9:08 i would have loved to hear the sound it makes with the first gear and then switching to cvt

David, I get a little choked up remembering our very own, made in Canada Matrix when I see the Cross. Unlike the Matrix and the 'Matrix with a fake moustache Pontiac Vibe', this Cross has no fold-forward front passenger seat. That feature made the Matrix so handy for carrying large items like ladders or 2X4s. As an engineer, would you please explain why that amazing feature has been dropped from 99.9% of today's CUVs and hatches? As far as I know, only Daewoo built Chevy and Buick CUVs offer that feature today. Getting back to the Cross, I urge buyers to wait for the upcoming Hybrid which will save a fortune in gas. On that Hybrid, in your opinion would Toyota's 2.5 Hybrid system get the same or better mpg than the expected 2.0 while offering much more power? As the Cross weighs and costs about the same as a base Camry, wouldn't the 2.5 engine be a better option for the non-Hybrid Cross? You speculated about a possible 'GR' Corolla Cross but a Cross with a Camry powertrain would be GReat enough for me 🙂 Lastly, I can't accept the Torture Beam Rear Suspension® on the FWD model. It is very disappointing to see such blatant cost cutting on a new TNGA car.

Any thoughts about the 2023 Corolla Cross Hybrid?

Thank you David !!! How is the buying process of replacement of your trucks?? Have you peaked on the Maserati Quattro Porte?? On the other hand I will be @ Whistler on the coming January 2022 !!!

Ive seen one in person and its a good looking vehicle

Hello David, I'm six months late on this review but Im looking for a daily driver, 3 to 5 thousand miles a year vehicle and this one looks like a winner.

I'm trading in my 2016 corolla for one of these tomorrow! Psyched to have more room for my bike and tools!

How does the Cross perform when fully loaded, carrying passengers and luggage ? The existing 2L engine is already sluggish in acceleration . What about when passing during highway driving when overtaking ? There was no mention of corrosion resistance which is important when driving in a maritime climate.

Does it have automatic stop start that you have to shut off maually or is it on all the time

Waiting for your thoughts about the hybrd version

Why is everyone so fixated on horsepower when there’s only one speed limit?

Have you heard when these cars will be available in Canada? Our dealerships in BC do not have inventory yet.

You said heated steering wheel in the LE? I own the XLE and that option wasn't available here in the states.

I'm happy that these are available without all-wheel drive, push button start, and stop/start mode at a stop light. That's said I would consider getting one if I could also get it without CVT transmission, electric power steering, electric water pump, decoupler pulley alternator, fly-by-wire, TPMS, and the direct injection portion of the fuel delivery.

That gap in the hood is the same in the 2021 RAV4

Will there be an SE model of some kind in the future?

Thanks for the detailed review! I’m trading in my 2008 Highlander for a 2022 Corolla Cross XLE-supposed to be here around mid-September. My first adult car was a Corolla station wagon back in 1993, and I loved it. So, I’m looking forward to the Cross. :) I really appreciate your engineering and design perspective.

Can you do the 2023 Honda hr-v?

Thanks for the informative review. Do you think the Mazda's new SUV that will be manufactured at the same factory that manufactures the Corolla Cross will be of similar high quality?

would you review the 2023 2.0L cross hybrid anytime soon

To the reviewer, I want you to know that that I really appreciate the professionalism of your review. Your review really stands out from the others. Great thanks for your efforts.

Bought my daughter one for Christmas an xle thought it had remote starter but it dosen't. Its still an ok car.

Just looking at the pics for the Japan version, and I actually like the grill on this one better.

Cool nice car

That CVT is a deal breaker. I also never thought I’d hear the RAV4 being on the big size.

Question. On the Toyota site it says only the XLE has heated seats. Does the LE really have that option?

sold !

toyotas for lifee

Getting this for my wife.

I’m 6’6” so probably not a good size for me. 😂 But nice video! 👍

Do you recommend rust proofing for this model? I do want to keep a car for as long as possible so I am considering rust proofing but not sure if it's worth the price. Btw, thank you for a great review!

Excellent informative review. Please tell us how you feel Carola Cross compares to its competitors in the form of rankings. Would you buy this over a Mazda CX3?

When will you review the 2023 ?

thank you for the honesty comments here. yes, it is not good for passing / racing but enough for my " sightseeing" style, so i have preordered a LE premium package one. hey, i actually hate the "Corolla" naming & its sedans & hatchbacks, LOL !!!

a basic tune could boost the power ?

Should I have any reservations about this new model, being assembled at a brand new plant? How about waiting for the bugs to be taken out?

waiting for Corolla EV :)

Can’t wait for a hybrid version.

How did it rate regard safety and reliability? New subscriber. Thanks.

I heard that this new CorollaCross is noisy on the highway, is that true? Is it the same as a Corolla sedan at 120kph?

Would love seeing you doing a Lexus LFA review

Toyta is d great

Why is there a six to nine month wait?I I ordered one but just can't believe the wait time. Is there anything I can do to speed this up?

How about road and wind noise? I heard it is noisy inside.

I don’t know , I have to question the reliability of the CVT !

Hi, what is the Corolla Cross’ fuel consumption in mpg? Thanks!

If there is a GR/TRD version in the works. I'll be more intrigued to purchase. Just a tiny bit more power and it'll be the perfect grocery getter.

Why does the Canadian Version get standard Heat warmers and steering wheel but not in the US? You have to get the 32k version for that! It's annoying. I actually just bought the LE Version I'm excited, but I am annoyed that a country that is only 3 hours north of me gets a better standard package for a very similar price

Looks like miniature RAV4

How does this in terms of build compare to CHR?

I tell you what I DON'T like about it. We've had ours for just a bit less than a month. Toyota skimped out on the paint job inside the doors & the rear hatch. No clear coat! Just flat paint. I plan on complaining about it later. It's not what i would expect from Toyota. Other than this, it runs good for a 4 banger engine, a helluva lot better quality than our old Chevy Traverse.

How worried are you that this car is being assembled in a new American factory? I really wish they built this in Japan.

Pity there's no captions

I want a 8 cylinder version 😎
