Yes, but question will the CHR come for 2022? I heard it will be discontinued is that true? And if you make another video please make the comparison using the same year and mid models of each I.e. 2022 LE of each plus provide the Car list price in US. Thanks! ;)
Definitely! I am currently on the market for a Toyota SUV and if the smaller, cheaper alternatives to the RAV4 are reliable then I’d go with them to save some money. Your videos are so helpful! Please do the cross vs chr!
We have a 2021 RAV4 XLE and just purchased a 2022 Corolla Cross XLE and I can say that the Cross handles better. The cross feels like a mini Lexus and has less engine noise and excellent visibility at all angles. It looks like a mini Highlander from the back. The cross goes over big potholes and bumps much smoother than the RAV4. The RAV4 is bigger inside for both passengers and cargo and handles better in the snow with the snow mode option. The RAV4 is a great off-roader for a small SUV. I also like the sport mode on the RAV4, but that uses more gas than ECO mode. The RAV4 has more power than the cross and reaches speed faster, but is less smooth at high speeds and actually has a little bit of shaking when reaching 75 miles per hour or more. This shaking is how the RAV4 was from after reaching 500 miles on the ODO when we took it up to greater speeds, and is not due to alignment issues. Our RAV4 has the weather package with the heated seats, window, and steering wheel, and I love that package. The Corolla Cross does not come with a heated steering wheel, which I need. It also does not have lighted door lock/unlock buttons and at night you have to know where they are located by touch. The cross does allow you to remote start the engine and change the analog speedometer to digital because the analog display is default and you can't see how fast you are going. See RU-vid Corolla videos for info. Both vehicles are good for gas mileage, but the cross has a smaller gas tank and you will be filling up often. I like that the Cross XLE has all the new driver features for my son such as blind spot and rear cross traffic, as well as backup camera with parking gridlines. My 20 year old enjoys the RAV4 and would not trade it for a Corolla Cross and it still has all those new driver features. The RAV4 sits higher up from the ground and the RAV4 feels like it would be safer in a crash than the Cross. The RAV4 is more comfortable for 4 passengers and all their stuff, but for around town driving with just 2 people, I would prefer to drive the more luxurious-feeling Corolla Cross. The RAV4 feels more sporty and bumpy and I don't like the engine roar even though it has more power. The RAV4 has decent visibility and the blind spot monitor helps. Thanks for your video!
Thanks for the thorough review. I have the RAV4 XLE and love my car. I also agree with you regarding the engine noise. I'm curious to see how the Corolla Cross drives. I remember test driving the Mazda CX-5 and remember it having a luxurious driving feel. But ultimately I decided on Toyota for its reliability. Sounds like the Corolla Cross is the best of both worlds.
Wife just picked up her 2023 Corolla Cross and it's a great car. Only knock is the exposed exhaust when looking at it from the rear. That exhaust just makes it look cheaper.
Hey guys! You have all been asking me about a side by side comparison of the 2022 Toyota Corolla cross VS the RAV4! Here it is, let me know what you think!
Thanks..Didn't know the cross existed until yesterday. Looks solid as was thinking about the rav4 for my daughter but cross hits all the boxes. Im waiting to upgrade my 2nd generation sequoia with the 2023 sequoia. One thing toyota does is last a long time.
Love my Corolla Cross 2022 💕 I watched this video in order to help/guide my choice. Lately is really hard to find cars available for test drive (world after COVID). The video was really helpful and I liked your approach. The Corolla Cross is absolutely gorgeous and very, I mean truly, affordable. The technology put on this car is amazing and I was impressed on how spacious the car is. ✨✨✨ Team Corolla Cross!
How's the leg space on the back? I want one but I can't find one for a test drive and just have to go with my imagination haha.. i'm comparing this versus a hr-v
When you make the comparison, can you please compare apples to apples, meaning if one is LE than compare it to another LE unless they are equal to the price list of the cars which I believe you don’t mentioned. Which is a good information to have in front as well within the US. Thanks for your videos! ;)
The Cross comes in L , LE, and XLE while the Rav4 comes in LE, XLE, and XLE Premium. So comparing an LE and XLE respectively they are both the mid tier for either vehicle.
5 inches longer, 1 inch wider, 3inches taller, that is 15 cubic inches bigger and that most important part is the rear seat comfort for 5 inches longer. Oh man, plus the engine has 34 more horsepower and 30 more torque and is is also significant difference. Fuel economy is the same. Pricewise is about $3700 Canadian dollar difference for Le vs L, similar features. I think Rav4 is a better deal.
@@user-tb7rn1il3q It's possible that since Cross is released this year, they will make next year's Rav4 more expensive to make people have to spend more to get it. or they might make all Rav4's hybrid (price increase). This way ppl who have budget problem but still want the SUV feel will go for Cross.
i have the corolla cross with 2.0 engine. i use extreme driving style to get 5.0L/100km, which is 49 MPG. i never go over 100km/h, seldom let the engine go over 2500rpm when accelerating and hyper mill when ever possible. so l smile when i see the gas pump, and its a different kind of fun to squeeze for MPG.
Thanx for the side by side. Ur correct, there ISN'T much difference. I'd like comparison of basic/top of the line AWD on both, PRICE-WISE. How much difference. This is what will determine popularity. I'm tryn to convince friend when she's ready.
Thanks. Great review. The only knock in other reviews is the Cross engine is slow and the car is noisy on the highway. I think the Cross is going to be a big hit and fills a need..
honestly, i don't get why Toyota even bothered. i know the CC starts at a lower msrp, but as a whole it just doesn't make sense to me at least. i can see maybe in different markets around the world where a Rav4 might not be available... just is confusing really to be in the same market. at least with the ford escape & bronco sport, there's a huge difference in aesthetics 🤷🏼♂️ maybe i'm just getting too old lol
When you showed the front view only I tried to choose which was which I got them correct, I liked the cross when I first saw them advertised but to be honest I’d go for the RAV4 to own
Great work, thank you so much for explaining the difference between one of the most famous SUVs of Toyota. This video will give plenty of information for new buyers who don't know the difference. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I looked into Corolla cross because the msrp was very low at 23k, so I thought It was more affordable, but no it sells for 29k (cheapest I was able to find), I can easily find a rav4 for 30k with msrp at 28k. Those cross are marked up way more
I had to wait 6.5 months for my Cross L FWD... the Huntsville plant prioritizes the higher profit margin models... but got it for $26.7k US out-the-door in Virginia. One "pays" the premium for this car in the time you must wait to get one.
I do not like the new Rav 4's because they are too big. I had hoped that the Cross would be similar to the old Rav 4's, but nooooo. They make another big car with a smaller engine.
Probably because Crosses are still very scarce now in June 2023 and were even moreso a year ago. The Huntsville plant has had big problems staffing up (NASA and its contractors have surged in their hiring there to build hardware for the Artemis moon missions) and has been producing very low numbers of Crosses.
Thank you for this video ! I ordered a fully loaded cross XLE 2 days ago . Wanted a rav 4 hybrid d but with low inventory and my budget this was the best choice and after watching your video I know I made a great choice .
I have a rav4. I am very happy with it. The cvt is the deal-breaker for me on the cross. I had a corolla le eco with the cvt n hated it. The rav is much more fun to drive and has better acceleration
The CH-R shouldn't even be sold, it just makes no sense in the lineup to begin with. It's not much bigger than a Corolla hatchback, but still has the old engine and CVT, has less power, gets worse fuel economy, and I believe they're made in Turkey while the hatchback is from Japan.
LOVE my Corolla Cross LE in red! Almost looks the same as the Rav and the cross is a tad bit smaller. I like compact cars so this is a step up for me. Cross is bit big for me to handle but just need to get used to being in a larger car and higher. The Rav and any other car that size is too big for me and it was an easy no to anything larger. I'm not having issue with road noise like some people said. And for the slow pick, who cares! I want gas savings, not a race car. No regrets at all getting the Cross. My sister is now considering one.
Gen 2013 - 2018 of the Rav4 is the winner in term of cargo capacities seat fold-down with 73.4 ft³ . Gen 2019-now lost some cubic feet at 69.8 ft³ & the rear opening is now narrower . No official number from Toyota for the Cross cargo , some source said 66 ft³ but I have big doubts about it .
For 20 years I hated HAVING a rear wiper on my 2002 RAV4. I never used it, they rotted fast and were a pain to find replacements for before state inspections. I was very happy the Cross L trim came WITHOUT a rear wiper ☺. And also without a fob. I got an actual physical KEY. Woohoo!
THe headlights are sleeker in front of the Cross and the rear light are bulkier in back of the Rav4s. The fog lights on the Cross are at the bottom very bottom, while they are on the side like of the headlights on the Rav4s.
just heard about this model; its the rightful successor to the first corolla cross over, the Ontario made Toyota Matrix, discontinued >10 years ago. The other hatchback corollas are too small, and only the Rav4 was similarly sized inside both for people, trunk capacity, and ground clearance. Great utilitarian vehicle that won't break the bank. The matrix has niceties that make it hard for me to give up, like split rear window/hatch, and not having wipers in the base trim as in heavy rain or snow, you can't see out of the rear window without it clearing the view.
If they're getting the same MPG then what's the point of being smaller AND having less power for the corolla cross lol. Pay a little bit more and go for Rav4 base trim all days.
@@kayleykat5183 I got rid of it... took it on the interstate and I immediately noticed what people were talking about when you get over 70 mph it sounds like your window is cracked open the entire time. Took it to the dealership and they said that was normal ended up trading it for Mazda CX-5.
I do wish Toyota would allow the sale of the Raize AWD in the US. as a smaller and cheaper option for whose whom don't want to pay the cost of the Corolla Cross or RAV4 and would not mind the drop in engine output.
Sadly this is the case. Every dealer in southern wv, is pricing the cross at rav4 territory. Reason is, when some out of date salesperson tries to sell you a car, they'll make more commission selling the cross. Try to say things like 'you'll get a better finance rate!' Then you pull a me, get pissed off. Leave said dealership. And drive hours to save a couple grand.
❤Turkiyede lansmani yapilip Bayilerin bile 2024 de sansinizi deneyin dedigi araba corolla cross Çağrı merkezi çaresiz .. Kimse hiçbirşey bilmiyor Filolar yollarda hemde çok sayida Sari siteler dolu.. yuksek fiyata.. Araç varmi Yok ... Satış politikasi cok kotu bence Toyota turkiye ne yapmaya çalışiyor anlamış değilim Araç yok mu var mi ne yapildiğı belli degil 4 zam gördü bile
am i the only one still think why on earth the corolla cross exist and what the hell is people at Toyota smoking ,they didn't bother designing their own Supra cuz it not gonna sell enough but they went on to make a new small suv when they already have one
According to a National Center for Biotechnology Information study, occupants of body-on-frame SUVs are more likely to die in accidents than occupants of unibody SUVs. Jul 16, 2021. RAV4>current 4Runner
@@khaledabdelwahab9455 it’s not a real CVT it’s an ECVT. Go research the difference. Also the RAV4 has an eight speed transmission option as well. At least here in the United States I don’t know where you live
@@sammyjammy6647 Thanks for the info! Right The gas Rav4 comes with 8 speed auto transmission, but the hybrid Rav4 comes with a CVT I believe in both US and Canada,but I definitely prefer the performance of the 8 speed one same as the camry's transmission so smooth and quick!
@@khaledabdelwahab9455 Hybrid Rav 4’s E-CVT uses a planetary gear setup as opposed to a pulley and belt system in traditional CVTs. You’ll find the latest TNGA hybrids to be smoother than Toyota’s 8 speeds.
Exactly. The review is for beginners unless you mentioned types of engines and transmissions. CVT is known for its troubles and that is why toyota switched to durable transmissions on Rav4.
I hear the Corolla does not have enough power to suit the everyday driver. My money is on the Rav4. I have an XLE and was very interested in the CCross but I need some pickup thus I would not be satisfied. Also, I would expect much better gas mileage.
I just bought the Cross XLE coming from a Tacoma. I love the Cross, and acceleration is just fine. I deal with a lot of bumper to number traffic though. It's a great commuter vehicle, and looks sharp.
If Toyota would/could put the RAV4 Hybrid (not plug-in) powertrain into the Corolla Cross, they'd have something interesting. As it stands, the car could use more power with less engine noise than the 2.0 + CVT provides when accelerating.
CVT Transmissions are Crap for towing. 1500lbs is not a lot along with it what it says in the book. You Must remove Passenger weight. so if you have 4 adults weighing 600 lbs. You Now only have 900 lbs towing capacity. TOYOTA is going backwards as far as multipurpose use cars and SUV's. Can I put a kayak on the roof? A set of Bicycle's? Snowboards, skis, Can I go camping?? Can I help move a friend?? Hey I don't own a Seadoo or Skidoo this year but maybe next year I will.. Is this going to tow those and last?? All things you may want to do over a few years of owning a car.
Wohoooo my 2023 Corolla Cross LE AWD just arrived today and sooooo in love with it! Thanks Scottsdale Arizona Right Toyota delivered after 2 days order! You’re amazing!!!👏👏👏
I wouldn't buy either !! Why are manufactures installing displays like an afterthought ???? ALL displays should be molded into the dash !!!!!! Today ...displays are sticking up past the dash and look just da*n ugly !!!
It’s funny how people bitch about RAV4 being not perfect yet it’s FCK the best selling car in US, there is a REASON people, nothing sells best if it’s not worth
Huh, I thought the Corolla Cross would be smaller. I have a 2021 Tacoma TRD Off Road, and a 1999 RAV4. The RAV4 may need a replacement soon, I like the CHR but it doesn't have AWD, and I like the current RAV4s but they can get expensive. Will have to check out the Cross.
@@wickedmuffin76 Sigh..my beloved Tacoma has a rusty frame. There was a class action but I was refused one. Long story, but it's now unreliable. Body/paint wise, it looks amazing. It's the TDR off road. I am beyond sad. I will day, I am really enjoying the Cross, but I miss siting up so high. Thank you for your reply!
@@wickedmuffin76 Ugh. I feel so bad for him. My truck was a disaster early on, but I drove it as long as possible. Car Max told me I can flat bed it to them, and they will buy it. They will then sell it for parts. I don't want to deal with private sellers, or I would just advertise it.
Yes. The transmission alone would be enough to move me to RAV4. The 1st gear + CVT is more or less a hack Toyota came up with to improve the rubberband effect CVTs have.
Everyone should be listening to music when driving so you don't notice the noise of the CVT or wind noise. I can't stand to drive without the radio on.
Ouch, way too much bass and volume on the music. Other than that, nice review. I drive a 2003 Vibe with 273,000 miles which is basically a Matrix. Looking for another car that will last 20 years and I think the Corolla Cross is it.

My husband is 280 and 6' tall. I am 6' tall. The seating position in the Cross worked better for us. Everyone is so different as torso/leg differences. We both were uncomfortable in the Rav.
