![]() ![]() Slow Acceleration 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross | photo by Melissa Klauda A blind spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert is standard on all but the base L trim. Lots of Standard Safety EquipmentĮvery Corolla Cross comes with the Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 bundle of driver-assist features including adaptive cruise control, a precollision system with pedestrian detection, lane departure warning with steering assist, road sign assist and automatic high beams. The cabin stays reasonably quiet underway, although there is some road noise. Its brakes feel strong, with a firm and easy-to-modulate pedal. Its handling is neutral and predictable, if not overly sporty. The Corolla Cross rides comfortably for a vehicle with such a short wheelbase, absorbing bumps with well-damped body motions that lend a taut and controlled feel. The more traditional SUV profile makes the cargo area in the Corolla Cross more usable, and a standard 60/40-split, folding rear seat increases versatility. Upright dimensions make the Corolla Cross look not unlike a scaled-down Highlander three-row SUV, and that pays off in considerably more cargo capacity than the more stylized subcompact alternative, the C-HR. ![]() Roomy Cargo Space 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross | photo by Melissa Klauda A decent list of standard features includes Android Auto and Apple CarPlay in all trim levels. There’s plenty of headroom even with the optional moonroof, and visibility is notably good all around. Legroom and headroom are more than adequate for four adults, although it might be tight for five with three across in the rear. Open the door, and you’re greeted by a well-built and roomy - if not exactly luxurious - interior with comfortable seats and simple controls. Welcoming Interior 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross | photo by Melissa Klauda The Corolla Cross meets the needs of buyers who want an SUV that’s big enough for five passengers with decent cargo capacity, while still being affordable and easy to maneuver and park. The RAV4 has grown to nearly mid-size dimensions, along with many of its competitors. One reason for the increased demand for subcompact SUVs is that compact models have gotten bigger over the years. Mid-level LE models start at $25,760, and even a fully loaded XLE comes in below the $30,000 mark AWD adds $1,300 to any trim (all prices include destination charges). For that, you get a well-equipped subcompact SUV with a generous list of tech and safety features. With a starting price of $23,410 for a base L trim with front-wheel drive, the Corolla Cross is competitively priced. Friendly Pricing 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross | photo by Melissa Klauda For a quick look at six things we like and four we don’t, read on. ![]() ![]() But not all is perfect with the newest of smaller SUVs.įor ’s complete evaluation of the 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross, hit the link above to read Aaron Bragman’s review. Toyota’s reputation for reliability will inevitably help boost sales. The Corolla Cross is an appealing, if not particularly exciting, model and is more than likely destined for success. Related: 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross Review: Safe, Simple, and Slow With its boxier shape, raised roof and all-important available AWD, the Corolla Cross fills a void in the lineup made more significant as compact models like the RAV4 have grown. Toyota is aiming to change that with the Corolla Cross, a scaled-down version of a more conventional SUV. Designed more to stand out visually in a crowded field than for actual utility, the C-HR scrimps on interior room, cargo capacity and a lack of available AWD. While there are plenty of models to choose from and more on the way, some, like Toyota’s own C-HR, are focused more on style than substance. Strong sales in the class can be chalked up to affordable prices and cabins big enough for four or five passengers, along with ample cargo capacity and available all-wheel drive. All prices are subject to change without notice.The 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross is the latest subcompact SUV to hit dealer showrooms in a category that is all the rage these days.

![]() It features that coveted “strong” button found in few Keurigs that kicks up the flavor of K-Cups, and it didn’t disappoint. The K-Select feels like a smarter upgrade of the K-Classic, with a slightly smaller build, though somewhat bulky. This is one of the best Keurig coffee makers that you can buy, though a lack of a frother and an expensive price may deter some from trying its magic. The hottest cup of coffee we measured from the K-Elite was 182 degrees Fahrenheit, while the warmest was 165 degrees Fahrenheit. However, like all Keurigs on this list, the K-Elite can’t produce coffee at the temperatures required for providing the absolute best taste. We found the depth, flavor, and texture to be comparable to a cup made by a typical coffee maker. The K-Elite also produced the best-tasting coffee on test. With a coffee pod latch that practically glides open and a noise reading of 67dB, this machine is both easy to use and quiet in operation. It uses about 115 kWh, which is slightly more energy than we recorded with the smallest Keurig offering, the K-Mini. We found the machine to be incredibly versatile with its range of coffee options, and during testing, it brewed K-Cups faster than any other Keurig home model, with an average brew time of 34 seconds per serving. It even comes with a Keurig-branded water filter to further purify the tank. The K-Elite also has the widest serving size range, capable of brewing cups at 4-, 6-, 8-, 10-, and 12-ounces. This beast of a Keurig may lack a milk frother, but it makes up for it with several features: temperature control, a programmable clock to schedule a warming function, a hot water dispenser, the ability to brew iced coffee, and a massive 75-ounce water reservoir. The key to a tastier, more flavorful K-Cup is a slower brew, and the K-Elite’s “strong” button feature helps achieve just that, and way more. That’s why it makes the list as one of the best Keurig coffee makers. Having said that, if you’re looking for a barebones machine, the K-Slim makes the best flavor of K-Cup coffee at the lowest price, and it comes in plenty of colors including red, mint, gray, and white. The K-Slim is capable of only brewing three serving sizes––8-, 10-, and 12-ounces––and the water reservoir’s location at the rear of the machine may be slightly annoying to fill as you’ll have to pivot the machine to reach it. Its downfalls may come from its no-frills design, however. It also consumes about 139 kWh, which is slightly more than the K-Elite. Still, like all Keurigs, the K-Slim can brew a cup in less than two minutes.Īt its loudest, the K-Slim makes about 74 decibels of noise, toward the end of its brewing cycle. We also clocked the machine’s average brew time to be 1 minute and 25 seconds, though, unlike our top contenders - the K-Cafe and K-Elite - the K-Slim’s warm-up and brew cycles are combined, resulting in a longer wait. The hottest recorded cup was 181 degrees Fahrenheit, while 168 degrees was the lowest. It lacks the hot temperature required for the best tasting coffee, however, as do all Keurigs. Plus, its multistream technology ensures a richer cup of coffee by fully saturating its K-Cups, a taste we found during testing to be much like the bold feature seen on other Keurig machines.Įvery coffee we brewed using the K-Slim produced a tasty cup, providing both depth and flavor. Its slender build is the total opposite of the typical bulky design from Keurig, and maintenance is fairly lowkey thanks to the dishwasher-safe water reservoir and drip tray. If you’re looking for a baseline Keurig machine that won’t hog counter space, the K-Slim is a solid easygoing entry at only 4.7-inches wide. Its incredibly easy-to-use functionality makes it all the better. If you're in search of a Keurig that can replicate that coffeehouse feel at home, or you just want a bolder flavor of K-Cup in the morning, the K-Cafe is your go-to machine. ![]() Though it’s quite pricey, this premium Keurig is a superhero for those mornings when you want a barista experience with little time to spare. We also measured 75 decibels of noise from the K-Cafe’s brew cycle––the second loudest across all Keurigs––but its warm-up process averaged around a much quieter 65 decibels. The K-Cafe uses about 160 kWh of energy, the highest we recorded for a Keurig machine, but that’s to be expected from a machine that can both brew and froth. ![]() Those who prefer piping hot coffee may be disappointed by cooler temperatures. ![]() The hottest cup of coffee we measured from the K-Cafe was only 176 degrees Fahrenheit. All of the Keurigs we reviewed were unable to brew coffee at hot temperatures. Though we enjoyed the taste of the K-Cafe’s coffee, we found the temperatures to be a bit lacking. ![]() ![]()

The new BMW iDrive plays a unique role in delivering a focused, assured driving experience by showing the right information in the right place. The system’s QuickSelect concept additionally brings an improved menu structure that takes its cues from consumer electronics devices. A new home screen with clearly arranged functions offers greater ease of use on the BMW Curved Display. The BMW Group has reached the latest stage of development with the BMW iDrive system.

It’s called iDrive 9 because the underlying Android system is newer than the technology underpinning iDrive 8.5. This will be a bit more of an evolution in design with a focus on a customized home screen and new UI. iDrive 9īMW Operating System 9 (iDrive 9) is a fully touch-based system that we’ll see on all smaller, front wheel drive FAAR based cars. BMW is saying that further models will but is offering no specifics yet. This update will rollout gradually from July 2023.

Zero-layer means that all key functionality and information will be shown on a single level, making it easier to select a functions without having engage a submenu. Key to the update is what BMW is calling the zero-layer concept. But the real question is what models will get this new update? The focus on the update is a refreshed home screen and a revised UI that should work better with BMW’s new curved display now available on most models. BMW is introducing two new versions of iDrive – iDrive 8.5 and iDrive 9.0 later this year. ![]() ![]() ![]() But a team-based WWII sim laced with shots of smooth arcadeyness, one in which you respawn every time your body is separated from your limbs feels a little, well, wrong.
