ALL-NEW 2024 TOYOTA COROLLA CROSS HYBRID REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid is presented as a practical and fuel-efficient subcompact SUV, particularly excelling as a commuter and city vehicle. Reviewers highlight its comfortable ride, higher seating position, and excellent maneuverability, making it easy to navigate and park. The hybrid powertrain delivers a respectable 196 horsepower, offering surprisingly good power for its size, and achieves impressive fuel economy figures. Standard AWD and Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 are noted as key advantages. However, the reviewer expresses disappointment with the lack of a power liftgate on the SE trim and finds the "sport-tuned suspension" unnoticeable, with steering feeling light and lacking engagement. While acknowledging its practicality and Toyota's reputation for reliability and resale value, the reviewer suggests that for a bit more money, larger vehicles like the RAV4 offer more space and features, and questions if the Corolla Cross Hybrid is significantly better than competitors beyond its fuel economy.
