The 2024 Toyota Corolla Cross XSE Hybrid Is A Small SUV With Prius Like MPG's

Happy Saturday everyone! Hope your weekend is off to a great start! The Subaru Crosstrek may be the top seller the space but the Corolla Cross Hybrid is still the only hybrid in the segment and its sales are increasing every year! We're also expecting Lexus to send over the revised 2025 UX 300h very soon, which shares a platform with this vehicle and also gets the new hybrid powertrain from the Prius that is also in this car.

Definitely a great Toyota hybrid vehicle, but I can’t stand all the dealers marking it up at ridiculous rates.

I always feel like all these car reviewers hate on the only cars an honest mechanic recommends. They rave about cars that will break down within 100k miles. Career longevity? 😂 I'll stick with my Toyota.

42 MPG and under 7 seconds, 0-60, is a pretty rare combination, for any vehicle, at any price:face-purple-wide-eyes:. Starting at $33k for an SE model, with standard AWD, with more power and MPG than anything else, I think its a steal.

I'd go for the new 25 Camry hybrid honestly

I tested this car when car shopping for my sister. All Toyota dealerships in the state were back ordered for 1+ years and had crazy $5k markups when they did deliver. We ended up settling with the new 2024 Kona SEL for $8k less and vastly superior interior tech.

36k for corolla....Man, diz prices are insane

There's nothing inherently wrong with the Corolla Cross, it just feels incredibly generic. Normal buyers will like the Toyota reliability, good usability and great MPG, but there's nothing else to write home about. Sadly at $36k, that isn't good enough.

0-60 in the 6 second range is impressive for any corolla, let alone a Corolla SUV, especially since the regular version is very slow. As long as you realize you’re getting an economy car.

I got mine at MSRP and couldn’t be happier! All the dealers in my area were charging insane markups, so I ended up having to buy it in the state over from a friend of a friend who worked at Toyota.

Excellent review as always. You talk very fast but very clear and concise. Just the way I like it. Great job

I've had the 22 L model since June 2022. 0 problems

Good review as always. I agree with you on the interior. It needs to be brightened up a bit. Definitely on the drab side.

If you had lifted that foam piece all the way out, you would have seen that you cannot fit any spare tire there because Toyota blocked the space with hybrid wiring components.

Can't wait for dealers to mark these up 10k like the RAV4 Hybrid.

Crazy that, as priced, is mid 30K in price. Also crazy that this vehicle is considered "a more affordable vehicle". If I were to get a new car, today, I'd get the Prius. Still not perfect, but preferable to this. And at the same price, a much larger center screen.

An extra set of beeps is the rear seat reminder on newer Toyota vehicles, but I don’t think that’s what you experienced — it sounded more of a long beep. If you open a rear door (i.e. putting a child, object in the back seats), it will alert you when you attempt to lock the doors, as you did. I believe it unlocks the doors (even though I don’t think it did on your tester) and plays the beeps because you likely forgot something or someone in the back. Of course you can turn it off; it’s a feature with TSS 3.0 vehicles. Great video as always!

This exact car in Europe is extremely nice. Better display, much better looking inside and out, panoramic sunroof, 19 inch rims, etc. etc. we always get shafted here stateside…🤷🏻‍♂️

I better get one now before it's $50k 😅

I would consider this if it wasn't so noisy inside. I miss when Toyota were quiet compared to their competition.
