Problems with the Toyota Corolla Cross You Must Know before Buying one

Video Summary

The base models of the Corolla Cross have poor fuel efficiency compared to other models and similar cars. Front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive vehicles have distinct rear suspension configurations, which can cause conflicting opinions. The front-wheel drive has a torsion beam, and all-wheel drive vehicles have a more sophisticated multi-link design.  On normal roads, front-wheel drive vehicles absorb road imperfections better, especially with larger 18-inch wheels and provide smoother, more consistent handling. But all-wheel drive vehicles have better traction and superior off-road capabilities. The powertrain isn't impressive.  The base configuration consists of a 2.0 L, 4-cylinder engine with 169hp and a CVT. The CVT increases cabin noise and struggles to provide enough power. The hybrid models, with 3 electric motors, improve the driving experience and deliver greater acceleration. The front seats in the base models are not padded properly and do not provide proper support. There is also a lack of lumbar support.  Upgrading to the XLE model, which includes a 10-way adjustable driver's seat, might improve comfort.  Rear seats are similarly not as supportive, and legroom is only 32 inches. It feels small, and barely fits 3 adults. Cabin noise can be severe, which is exacerbated by the engine. Toyota dependability and construction quality are there, but this is balanced by a cheaper cost-cutting interior. Base trims lack features like a numerical display for climate controls. The best trims are expensive: At $26,210, the Toyota Corolla Cross is fairly priced, but top models climb to $32,755. However, its reliability will guarantee a great resell value. All trims are a sound investment, but top trims might not be the best value since it faces serious competition from other brands at that cost.
