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.

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.

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.
