A Toyota Master Diagnostic Technician walks through the major components and design that makes the 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross in this full behind the scenes technical tour.
We finally break ground on 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross on the channel! This is not a full review of the car from living with the car day to day. But rather this is a full technical review of the powertrain, suspension, steering and brakes of the Corolla Cross.
Once you watch you video you will realize that the Corolla Cross is not actually a new model which is a good thing. It's a very functional crossover that have components that have been tested and out for a number of years and is proven to be reliable.
This is one model that likely will have very minimal issues and based on actual real world data from experience from models that share the same powertrain, reliability even initially should be very high.
Initial impressions of the Corolla Cross are very positive. I really like that it's understated and not too much. It serves the purpose it was made for very well. Seems well equipped yet simple to operate for day to day use.
A follow up review will come in the future once I have a chance to get a Corolla Cross to drive for a week to see how it is to live with day to day.
Special thanks to Bredemann Toyota in Park Ridge, IL for allowing me to film in their facility and use one of their cars.

I love this added dimension to a new car review. We typically don't get the nuts and bolts explanation to how everything works together and your review is very much appreciated. The Cross looks to be the perfect entry level vehicle for a starter family or someone that needs a high quality/reliable vehicle which won't break the bank. Toyota hit a homerun to offer such an important vehicle to fill a particular niche in their lineup. Happy New Year brother. 2021 has been such an awesome ride together with you and I know that 2022 will be even better yet. BTW, Congratulaions on surpassing 200k subscribers. God Bless you and the Mrs. for putting together such an important channel that car enthusiasts can get really great info that's insightful, honest and easily understood.

This comment is VERY important to know for current Corolla Cross owners! Apparently, there is an ongoing issue with the Corolla Cross's Auto Start/Stop feature. But it only happens when the wipers are in intermittent mode. Basically, you came to a full stop and the car shuts off to save fuel (and your wipers are on in the rain). Once you take your foot of the brake, the engine will not start up again and the gauge screen will have a warning that says: "Steering Power Low, Press Brake Firmly to Restart". In order to fix this, put it in Park, then shut off the car and turn it back on again. Then you can drive away safely. There have been at least a couple dozen people who have faced this once, and some more than a few times. Some Toyota dealers are saying it is a software issue, but there hasn't been a recall for this yet. It's an interesting problem that I wasn't expecting, but Toyota needs to act on this fast, before any people get hurt. In the mean time, if you drive a Corolla Cross, disable the Auto Start/Stop feature or don't use your wipers at the same time the engine is off at a stop light. I'm sure this problem does not occur for every Corolla Cross, but the chances of it happening are increased if the above conditions are met.

I'm thinking that issue you describe might only apply to US manufactured Crosses? I have a 23 petrol /gas Cross down here in Australia and haven't heard of this issue. As far as I know the one's we get are TMC Japan manufacture and don't have the stop start feature. No recalls so far. Very happy with mine. Only downside is the 650KG max towing weight.

Thank you guys It! It drives like a dream, just like a normal sedan but you can certainly feel the weight difference but that's given. If you have ever driven the newer corollas, it will feel very similar. The car is relatively quiet atleast to me..(I have a modified WRX and FRS), and the only time it gets loud is when its trying to merge on a freeway. As for leg room, I am 5'5 and it is plenty of space for me in the back. With how I sit in the front driver side, I still have relatively alot of leg room in the back . If you're around my height you'll have no problem.

I am very impressed with this presentation and explanation of the 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross. There is no sales person who has the knowledge, patience or desire to explain things in such detail. Informed consumers are more likely to make a purchase, and given the Toyota Corolla reputation for durability and reliability, it would not be a hard decision to buy this model. I am probably going to look at a new vehicle in a couple of years, and all I need is an evaluation of the interior layout and noise levels at highway speed. Smaller cars tend to economize on sound insulation, but if car makers are smart, they would add sound insulation to give a smoother ride. There is nothing wrong with adopting existing technology, because that tech is proven and works.

Thanks for another honest and informative review. The Toyota Corolla is famed for being one of the most reliable cars on the market, and now it comes taller, roomier, and with AWD. A starting MSRP of 22K makes Corolla Cross a good buy. You mentioned the AWD uses the same setup, mounting, differential, and transfer case as the Camry and Avalon because of the new TNGA platform; even the suspension is similar. Clearly both a production advantage and consumer benefit.

Anyone looking at this should do themselves a favor and look at a hybrid Maverick. The base model is $20k with a hybrid powertrain standard 0-60 in 7.6 seconds compared to this slow 10 second model. The Maverick is 2' longer and is way more practical than the the cross. The Maverick hybrid system is very similar to a Prius and gets 43 mpg city. Why this vehicle along with the hrv and ch r exists is a mystery. Overpriced and not very practical. Ford flipped the script and made the hybrid standard. You would have thought Toyota would have been the first to do that. I guess they figure Toyota loyalists will always pay more for something even if another mfg makes it the standard base option. I'm sure the hybrid version of this model will add $3k to the price tag.

But this Corolla Cross fits the “practicality” bill for all of the reasons AMD points out. Although it adds a lot to the cost, I do suggest the Audio Plus W/ JBL and Convenience package (moonroof and power rear liftgate) if in your budget. You will be surprised how sharp it looks in person too, as videos and pictures don’t do it justice! Glad to get AMD’s initial “blessing” 😊

@@burjis24 Yup, as @Manny Cali says, USA has the FWD for the XLE. Another difference I believe with the Canadian market is that they get the heated steering wheel along the heated seats, whereas ours only has the heated seats. It may also be available for more northern states, but we defiantly don’t need it down here in Georgia as much as others do…

I test drove a model without the convenience package and audio plus. The extra system definitely helps, my GFs RAV4 doesn’t have any audio plus and she has to have her volume up pretty high and its not quite as crisp. Love my cross, wouldn’t want another car, only thing I might trade it in for would be a hybrid version with a little more power. A boost in power and quickness plus amazing gas mileage would be a dream. Otherwise car is the perfect size and I love the cypress green the most

Thank you for the review of this new vehicle. It is encouraging to see Toyota sticking to reliable designs and didn't change what works well. The launch gear on the CVT and using both port and direct injection means this car will last a long time with basic maintenance. I could seriously consider this car when it is available.

Wow what a great detailed comprehensive review. I recently discovered the cross after realizing the RAV4 has gotten so big since when I owned the O5 model. I was able to sit in the cross and it was a much better fit. I wasn’t able to test drive it because it had just come into the dealer and was already spoken for. I’m hoping to test drive one as In concerned about the noise. In fact I found the newer(2019) I test drove RAV4 noisier than I recall my O5. I’m also iffy about the softex fake leather in the XLE. Any thoughts ?

I actually owned this engine/ transmission configuration in my 2020 Corolla SE. I owned it for a year and sold it. There was often a really hard abnormal shift when coming out of launch/1st gear into the CVT. You'd agree if you owned it for a year. Also, equally annoying was it would redline on simple acceleration typically around 35 mph when giving it just moderate acceleration. If you research and look on the forums for this you will find other people complained also. For me it just created a negative driving experience that was very unsatisfactory so she had to go. Thanks for The video and happy New!

Highly informative, I learned a ton. While other reviewers of the Cross complain about engine noise, you explained (and demo'd) the combo port injection and direct injection, with the noise impact of the latter. I had no idea this dual fuel injection system even existed anywhere. Also loved the electronic AWD diff engagement description at the back of the car. Now if you could only stop saying "simple" and "old school" over and over again until it reaches the level of water torture.....
