Reviews of Toyota Corolla Cross

The 2025 Corolla Cross Hybrid repackages the longstanding Corolla virtues in today's more palatable SUV shape—thus the "Cross" in its name. Like its namesake Corolla—still sold as a sedan and a hatchback—the Cross is affordable, the least-expensive SUV in Toyota's lineup. The SUV shape makes the Cross more adept at cargo-carrying than its passenger-car counterparts. Befitting its Corolla nameplate, the Cross is economical to drive—that's particularly true of the Corolla Cross Hybrid more so than the regular nonhybrid Corolla Cross(which we review separately). In addition to better fuel economy, the Corolla Cross Hybrid is also far less lethargic than its non-hybrid counterpart, and it comes standard with all-wheel drive. It's for these reasons that we prefer the Hybrid to the regular version, although even with the Hybrid's added oomph, driving dynamics are wholly uninspired—something also true of its plain interior.
