2022 Toyota Corolla Cross Quick Review // A Perfectly Fine Mode Of Transportation 

Luckily, there's another AWD Corolla coming soon that should be more exciting.

The World - Here is Toyota GR Corolla Throttle House - Here is Toyota Corolla Cross

"It's a Toyota, and that's why you by a Toyota." If that's not their official slogan already, it needs to be!

Can't say this is the most exciting car review I've ever seen 😂

I said to myself a few days ago that Throttle House is so good, they can review something like a Toyota Corolla Cross and I’d still watch it end to end. Well here I am

I'd say this is a spiritual successor to the first RAV4, though maybe less capable off-road than that RAV4.

"I'm Thomas and where's James?" I felt that.

"A perfectly fine mode of transportation" describes almost everything in this class of vehicle at this point.

The engine is the same 2.0 out of the normal Corolla. They just wanted something I guess smaller? than a RAV4 to squeeze in a segment that wasn't a total dog like the CHR. Plus the Corolla can't get AWD, and the hatch version can't get a sunroof. Essentially for everyone and their mom who wants a Corolla but "I like sitting higher"

This is what Toyota should have made years ago instead of that CHR mess

The fact he couldn't care to edit a bleep so he ACTUALLY said "boop" at 2:50 lmaaoo

The thrill of acceleration is why I would buy this.

This must be the: We have to cover this car to get an early spot in line for the GR Corolla.

Finally car companies have realized in Canada all we ever wanted was AWD and good fuel economy.

Thanks Thomas! This vid was also what convinced me to get a 24 cross hybrid. Keep making vids for the common people!

Whoa, I am going out right now and buying one! That was amazing and exciting! Love it Thomas!

I just want to touch on a comment that I saw on another video of yours. This review is very much appreciated. As a car and driving "enthusiast" your performance car reviews are my personal favorites, but not everyone is in the market for a sports car or they don't have the money (maybe both) so videos like these with economy cars and sub 30K cars, crossovers, (boring cars if you will) are the reviews that really matter for the everyday driver/consumer. May be not the most thrilling content for you guys to put out but there's definitely value in it.

5:50 I love Thomas' James impression

This car’s been in my country since 2020, it’s super popular. Much more popular than the sedan Corolla in fact, because sedans are considered luxury cars and thus have a higher tax. Like around $2k cheaper than the sedan. And since the hybrid came out I have rarely seen one that isn’t hybrid. Surprised how Toyota didn’t bring this car to the US first, SUVs and crossovers are your market lol.

THROWBACK THROTTLE HOUSE BABY GOTTA LOVE IT

Thomas spent exactly as much time on this review as this car deserves. ;-)

This is a perfect car for grandmothers who don't give a shit about cars (other than that they need to roll) that need the seat height because they can't bend down to sit in a sedan.

I’ve been car shopping, never seen your channel before. I thought this was great, and funny haha. Well done. Gonna check out some other videos. 👍

A friend dailies the hybrid variant of the Cross. It is surprisingly nice to be a passenger in that car. It also has better mpgs than the really popular(in my place) Chinese hybrid crossovers.

Ill watch something like this just because of you guys

My dad had this car since 2020 in Thailand, it's actually pretty nice.

Thank you, great review. April of 2022, I bought a new Toyota Corolla Cross. It had 3 miles on it when I drove it off the lot. It now has over 7000 miles on it. It averages 33 MPG around town, and I've averaged 43 MPG on the Highway. I love this vehicle. Big Toyota Fan.

I love Throttlehouse, they always tend to review the crossover SUVs in winter haha As it tradition

I absolutely loved the enthusiasm.

The Toyota Corolla Cross is way better than the old Toyota CHR. I like how this car stacks up against the Honda HRV, Subaru Crosstrek, and Hyundai Kona.

I feel like the title sums this car up perfectly

Thank you for doing the lords work.

Simple and succinct review. 👌

I will never get tired of seeing this Fjällräven Greenland Down Jacket!

truly doing the Lord's work thomas

perfect basic and simple build car for customers where only want a compact car to drive from A to B and where is affordable and reliable, nothing more.

Thank you Thomas, for doing the Lords work for us

this channel has become one of my favorites i just wish you'd include metric for the stats at least as subs thank you. and i'm houssem

Doing the lord's work 😂Great review brother. Thank you.

Rav4 xle 2021 is my best purchase ever. Practical cars should always exist and be given great importance by the car manufacturers.

I was faced with the Carolla Croos or Rav4 last month. Opted for the Rav4 after driving both.

Nice timing to upload a Corolla video.

In Europe, the RAV4 has the 2.0L engine as a base engine, no 2.5L and then we have the hybrids. The Corolla Cross is hybrid only.

this looks like a perfect evolution from my XA30

Crossovers of this size are really popular here in Finland, most popular being probably Nissan Quasqai (I really have no idea why, since it’s actually poorly made). There’s also models in this category from VW (VW, Skoda and Seat), french manufacturers, Mazda CX-30 and so on. I think this new Corolla Cross might get really popular here since overall I think Toyota is the most popular brand here and it has large dealer network and of course is well known for it’s reliability. I would propably choose this or Mazda CX-30 myself.

Thomas is really cross with James while doing the lord's work there! 😆

Nice vid. You guys should try and get your hands on and do a Extra vid on a new VW Taos SEL

I would like to start by saying that much like San Dimas high school football, throttle house rules! (Not particularly because of this vehicle or video, but because of what you bring to the car lovers world and for recapturing the fraternal bond reminiscent of the year now infamous trio from another car show) Thank you Thomas for doing what you do and bringing us this oddly incremental update to Toyotas lineup. And James, who do you think you are! Pretending that the frozen northern wastes don’t exist! (I hope you enjoyed your trip, there is a little more important than those we care about) PS I’m from upstate New York enjoying an oddly incremental weather designation somewhere between London and British Columbia. I am older, would make you both look even more beautiful by comparison and would likely be considered slow should you happen to be looking for a third.

This is one of the cars ever made.

Guys you are awesome!

2:39 Why did Thomas turn into classic Hulk Hogan for a few seconds there?!

I test drove one the other day and it actually has very good acceleration.

Looking forward to your review of the new sequoia

I'd totally consider one if I was in the market for a brand new daily. It's like a Subaru but reliable.

Owned this cross for few weeks. Two small issues want to point out. 1) armrest can’t extend . It is not good for shorter driver 2) the wireless phone slot is too big, phone can’t hold there for wireless charging as phone keeps move when making left or right turns.

5:14 About those window issues…turns out it’s not just limited to the Corolla Cross. I own a 2020 Toyota RAV4 Limited here in Toronto, and I too had issues with the windows in the winter AND beyond! At one point in the summer of 2021, my front driver’s side window got stuck halfway down. I couldn’t bring it back up, or push it back down. So, I took it to the dealership I got it from, and turns out that I am one of a few people who got a RAV4 with a not-so-great window scissor mechanism thing (I don’t remember the actual name, but that’s what they said). They’re aware of the issue, and have had a couple of people come forward about it. So, they repaired it under warranty - took them over 1 month to get it fixed. They set me up with a rental for over a month (paid for by Toyota as this is a warranty repair), and coincidentally, the 2020 Corolla LE I was given had the same problem, so did the 2021 RAV4 LE I was provided after swapping out the Corolla because of its issue. They should really do something about this! No problems with my windows since the repair though! Loving my RAV4 otherwise (though with the way gas prices are right now, I wish I waited 12 months for a Hybrid (yes - my dealership and others in the GTA at the time of purchase said there was a 12 month wait for a Hybrid RAV4, XSE and above)).

I've been meaning to ask Thomas the brand of his shoes since that Toyota Tundra video 2 weeks ago!

My Corolla Cross was suppose to be manufactured in a little over a week. Dealer contacted me and said it will be pushed back to early May. I can expect to get it late May. This supply chain and chip shortage is crazy

This has the soul of a rental car

The remote start subscription is only for the mobile app. You can still remote start the car with the key fob without the subscription.

This is a great april fools joke condidering the GR Corolla was just announced

I believe the app for the remote start is by subscription. You can always start the car with the key fob though.

This could have been a great April Fool's video lol

Excellent wardrobe choice. Lovely Cobra Kai shirt.

The absolute salt in the first 20 seconds brings joy to my life.

I like how you are straightforward 😂

cold weather is why i left canada . 9months winter is a no for me. the only upside is nice skin

Thumbs up for Thomas doing the Lords work lol

Can you compare the Corolla Cross, CX-30, Subaru Crosstrek and HRV? Which is best long term and is cheap to maintain?

The entire time I was just wondering what shoes brand you are hearing, quit liked them. They look comfortable

Thomas walking on ice is hilarious

i have the corolla cross with 2.0 engine. i use extreme driving style to get 5.0L/100km, which is 47 MPG. i never go over 100km/h, seldom let the engine go over 2500rpm when accelerating and hyper mill when ever possible. its a different kind of fun squeezing for MPG.

We actually have the Hybrid version of the Cross here in Asia. Like if you just need a car to take you from point A to B while saving you gas because it's a hybrid then for sure the Cross is a good car for that. Other than that.... yeah you might as well just go a buy a Miata if you want fun

Finally a solo tommy car episode

The gr corolla is a showstopper but this isn’t… that said it’s more practical than the UX and it offers awd and a more spacious interior with a much better infotainment system

of all the cars, this is one of them

I love Toyota cars !!

Karston speaks! Also, he totally edited out the part where Thomas falls down while walking to the back of the car...cross...thing.

Will you please do a review of the Mazda cx30 turbo?

I love Toyota

When I saw this on their Instagram I was 100% sure this was an April fools joke

Hey why did the windows stop working in cold weather? Is it the track mechanisms and the type of grease? I'm much more interested in this than the actual crossover thing.

i actually thought this was an April fools prank

Guys, I might be out of the loop, but do you never review Mitsubishi? I would love to see an Outlander review video

You should've mentioned that this has one of the best moon roofs of any cars of any price point. The tight front seats are perfect for date nights for the young people who will predominantly buy these.

Love the Cobra Kai t shirt

James! Now you better wearing sneakers on ice. I thought you look constipated the way you lift your leg up.🤣 but I love your channel and your antics is classic.👌

James hanging with Joy Reid. Wow James, go for it!

😆 trunk looks good, lets go for a drive. Which means, lets get out of the cold 🥶

COBRA KAI NEVER DIES

My Prius Prime is 3 years old and my windows won't come down when it's freezing. The cabin has to be really warm for the windows to work.

see him walking on ice to the trunk... my mind, "why, why, why... you shot this there?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

no one seems to be saying this and maybe because I own one I will say it; this car is just a Toyota Lexus UX. the UX has been around since 2018. the UX is nice, nice to see it inserting itself into the Toyotas lineup to be an ultracheap "SUV" option for those that still want a Toyota, since "unfortunately" they hold their value so a cheaper Toyota is the only way you'll get a good deal

1:13 He nailed it! 😅

Sloooow day at Throttle house ?

I do love Toyota releases something as dull as this but also releasing the GR corolla as well!

Thomas, what I wanna know is, did you smack your knee on the dash when you entered the vehicle? I'm 5'10" and have a rav4. Had it for 4 years and still smack my knee getting into the damn thing.

I want one

It’s competition for the HRV and that’s it.

He speaks!
