2024 TOYOTA COROLLA CROSS HYBRID NIGHTSHADE

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid Nightshade offers a striking "murdered out" aesthetic with its all-black exterior and gloss black accents. The reviewer highlights the vehicle's strong fuel economy, achieving an estimated 42 MPG combined, and praises the comfortable ride quality for a subcompact SUV. However, a significant drawback noted is the lack of heated seats and a heated steering wheel, especially considering the vehicle's MSRP of over $32,000. The reviewer also points out the dated and grainy backup camera, the firm rear seats lacking an armrest, and the considerable road and wind noise within the cabin. While the hybrid powertrain provides adequate acceleration with 196 net horsepower, the reviewer questions the value proposition at this price point without key comfort features, suggesting Toyota should include them to reward hybrid buyers.
