Come along for our full review of Toyota's 2024 Corolla Cross Hybrid in XSE Trim. This all-wheel drive only, lifted Corolla is powered by Toyota's 5th generation hybrid system and provides plenty of pep for a compact crossover. If fuel efficiency, AWD, utility, and Toyota reliability are your priorities, you no longer have to sacrifice decent driving and handling dynamics.

The XSE model is a great vehicle for retirees, with no kids, who want a safe, reliable, and fuel-efficient small SUV. It has just enough tech and room for 2-people to enjoy. Good luck finding one though.
Thanks for watching! Great comment and very true. Discussed this car with some younger buyers and they are also attracted to the the peace of mind, utility, and resale value as they begin to get started in their careers and financial futures. Yes, Toyota is limited in production by the Alabama assembly plant but is supposed to continue ramping up. Toyota remains one of the worse at trickling out cars and maintaining high prices.
The highly regarded 5th gen 196 HP AWD Prius hybrid system is quite at home in Toyota’s sub compact SUV offering. Toyota aces the test if you are looking for an AWD ute that is reliable, gets great fuel economy, and can get out of own way. Not much really out there that fully competes and even the fuel efficient ones will struggle to keep up with this Corolla Cross. Is it perfect? Nope. But it’s a solid product I would recommend to a whole bunch of Toyota fan buyers. If you are new to Beyond we would love to have you along for the ride.

How did I ever lived without heated steering wheel and heated seats.
So what does the "nite shade" follow. SE or XSE? Glad they're no LE or XLE. I like the sportiness, not luxury. Great video. Sub'd & gave u a 👍
Thanks for watching and for the nice comment! Glad you subbed! I forgot to mention that the nightshade is basically an SE with black accents and larger 18 inch black wheels. So it’s like $900 more than the SE. So about half way between SE and XSE price wise. Looks good with the black wheels but not sure of the value as an XSE is just another $950 or so. The hybrid is intended to be the sportier driver than the gas only and it definitely is drivetrain wise. Maybe a little better handling also.
I wish this had more of a wagon shape, this just reminds of the Rav4 but slighty smaller.
Agree. Toyota was very conservative and wanted to offer a cheaper alternative to crazy rising RAV4 prices.
Hey, how's the visibility out the back window. It's a small oval window.The seat looks low, and the door and window seem high up, what's your thoughts
Thanks for the question. I comment a couple times, around 07:40, that visibility is great. The c pillar does have a small window but no big blind spots. Large rear window provides good view out back. Seats are not low. Big mirrors, seating position, big windshield give a great view. Probably one of the best features of the Corolla Cross’ design
Thanks for the review. My wife and I bought a '24 CCH SE on 2/5/2024. We paid a bit under sticker (yeah, I was surprised too!). Other than an '18 CR-V EX, this is the newest car we own. It's her car, and I'd only driven it a few times prior to this last weekend. It has about 2K miles. Initial impressions were OK. Notable are the lack of a spare tire, jack, lug wrench and front or rear tow points and tow hook (eyelet). I had a jack and lug wrench in my collection of parts that fit in the back of the CCH (in the existing plastic pieces under the rear floor cover), and will throw in an extra tire for road trips (until Toyota offers a spare tire kit like with the Prius). >>>> We did our 1st road trip last weekend. It was ~450 miles each way. Overall, I'm liking the CCH, as I'm a big fan of the 'Dynamic radar cruise control'/ACC. It drives easily, tracks straight, ride is not a Lexus of course, but is comfortable. I did add a small pillow for my lumbar on the return trip. The trip was a good test of the MPG and power of this hybrid powertrain. The first 200+ miles were mostly flat cruising at 75MPH and we got 38MPG. The 2nd 200 was 75-80MPH, but included ups and downs from 400 to 4000 feet of elevation (Pendleton, OR to Boise, ID on I-84), and got 34MPG. The return trip saw the same numbers. So, MPG is in the ballpark, as the Est. MPG is 45 city/38 highway. Performance was adequate (I had V6 RAV4 prior to this), and didn't find it lacking for climbing the passes or passing on hills (there are a LOT of trucks on I-84!). There is a bit of vibration and added engine noise around 2500-3000 RPM, but it's not intrusive just noticeable. Tire noise is more about the road surface than the CCH's noise levels. One thing we'll need to test is how the AWD system works when the road is icy. I see in the video, and my experience, that the rear wheels will 'kick in' when extra power is needed. Not sure if that will cause the rear-end to 'kick out'? But I have to believe Toyota's Enhanced VSC will manage it as needed. Last tidbits: Lacking internal storage compared to the CR-V and other cars we've had, the sound quality of the base stereo is still decent for us non-aficionados, and the InfoTec/ICE is manageable even for most Luddites (like me), after some familiarization. TL;dr>>>I'd buy it again. :-)
Thanks for watching and for the nice write up on your ownership experience. Sure it will be decent in the snow. If you have a lot of snow where you live definitely consider some all weathers for tires. Enjoy and happy motoring!
Does it not have lumbar support
I have a vibration also at 1500-1800 and 2500rpms
@@lynzemwalker5637only the top XSE trim has adjustable lumbar support
I purchased the toyota cross hybrid 2024 in February. I love it except for it makes a buzzing noise in low speeds. Service Dept says this is normal and that its the hybrid. There was a previous problem that they had to fix with this car. It had to do with the the firewall heatshield making contact with high voltage wire harness. After they fixed that noise problem this buzzing noise is in existence. It sounds like the noise it makes when youre backing up. Its just so annoying I tried to trade it in for a gas CC, but I would lose a couple thousand so I decided to keep it. I live in Denver, Colorado. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
🤔. So it’s at low speed and sounds like the eery noise it makes in reverse? It could be the pedestrian warning system. At low speed going forward with the gas engine off it will make the same noise as reverse to give pedestrians some awareness that you are around. I think that is it and it is normal. Does it stop as the speeds increase and engine comes on?
@@BeyondTheTestDrive yes, the noise is so irritating. I rode in another TCC hybrid at another car deal and the noise was not loud like mine. Is there a way to adjust the noise?
@@user-sr9cc2rb9c 🤔. A couple things. See if the dealer service adviser will listen to yours and a new one on the lot. Also consider calling Toyota customer service so they can get a field rep out to listen to your car. The dealer should do this but you may have to go around them. I don’t think there is a way to adjust that sound.
A pretty good little SUV; except, there is no spare tire. Oversea model do have a spare tire, not sure why US / Canada model does not.
Thanks for watching and commenting! The non hybrid does have a spare here. I think it’s the hybrid battery that needs the extra room.
NO SPARE? , I don't like the idea of getting a flat at night in the rain far from home. The RAV4 MAY BE BETTER.
35k!!! Wow!
What is wrong with Toyota not giving (at least) a lighter grey interior choice. Always black now. Hate black in warm climates. Feels too heavy. Kia and others give some choices.
Very low rent for the price.
Toyta FAILED by NOT having a HEATED steering wheel in the USA like CANADA! Toyota wake UP!
A heated wheel is nice. Once you have one you really miss it. Thanks for watching.
