Generous list of standard advanced driver assist features
Comfortable seats and ride quality
Roomy cargo area for an extra-small SUV

Cons

Not particularly enjoyable to drive
Less rear legroom than most rivals

What's new

No significant updates for 2025
Part of the first Corolla Cross generation introduced for 2022

Overview

The 2025 Corolla Cross is an SUV counterpart to the enduring Corolla sedan. Though it sits higher and offers more cargo space and all-wheel drive, the Corolla Cross fills a similar niche. It is a value-minded option for people shopping for a small crossover SUV. Though there is a hybrid version that we review separately on Edmunds, the gas-powered Corolla Cross offers a single engine, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder good for 169 horsepower.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2025 Toyota Corolla Cross L 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl CVT) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $4.85 per gallon for regular unleaded in California.}

Edmunds spotlight: Inexpensive but still well equipped

If you think buying an inexpensive vehicle means sacrificing features, the Corolla Cross will definitely change your mind. Even in its midgrade LE trim, for example, the Corolla Cross comes standard with a wireless phone charger, four USB-C ports, alloy wheels and LED headlights. The Toyota also comes with an assortment of advanced driver aids, such as adaptive cruise control, lane centering and automatic high beams, to help make driving easier and potentially safer. You can even add all-wheel drive to the Corolla Cross to help maximize available traction in wintertime driving conditions.

Competitors to consider

With most extra-small SUVs starting at less than $25,000, this slice of the SUV market is an increasingly interesting place to find reasonable and fun transportation that's packed with features. And many of them are more appealing than the current Corolla Cross. The Volkswagen Taos, for example, is super space-efficient and has a handful of useful driver assist features. The Chevy Trailblazer does everything well and Mazda's CX-30 is both fun to drive and exceptionally nice inside. Be sure to read our Expert Rating below to see if the Corolla Cross is right for you.

7.5

out of 10

edmunds TESTED

We drove the 2025 Toyota Corolla Cross on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Driving experience

7.4/10

How does the Toyota Corolla Cross drive? The Corolla Cross feels unremarkable from behind the wheel. Our all-wheel-drive test model accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 9.6 seconds — it's similarly slow as other extra-small SUVs like it. That means passing at freeway speeds requires a bit of planning, but around the city it accelerates more smoothly.

Sometimes small SUVs offer zippy handling on the account of their smaller size, but with its numb steering and soft suspension, there isn't much fun to be had here. That being said, the Corolla Cross provides suitable comfort for the daily grind, absorbing most road bumps without trouble. That might be all you need, but we hoped for just a little more pizzazz.

Comfort

7.2/10

How comfortable is the Toyota Corolla Cross? The front seats have decent cushioning but come up a bit short on thigh support for taller drivers. The rear seatbacks are set at a comfortable degree of recline. The Corolla Cross' narrower-than-average lower door opening and rear legroom deficit make fitting a larger car seat difficult. All LATCH anchor points and top tethers are clearly marked and easy to access.

There's a noticeable level of road noise that enters the cabin at highway speeds. The air conditioning works great on hot days (even if it is a touch noisy), and the Corolla Cross has rear air vents, which is not a given in this class.

In-cabin tech

9/10

How’s the tech? Toyota's infotainment system keeps things simple, and that's a good thing because any setting or feature you need is only a button press or two away. The native navigation is great, with integrated Google ratings and information for points of interest. But it is tied to a data subscription and will stop working (along with the voice commands) if you don't pony up $15/month.

Thankfully, wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay connectivity is standard to pick up the slack, and higher trims have four USB-C ports and a wireless charging pad to offer plenty of juice for all of the devices. However, we have noticed that when used wirelessly, the smartphone connection can be spotty at times.

Build & Price

Storage & cargo

7.4/10

How’s storage and cargo? The Toyota Corolla Cross has generous rear cargo space with 25.2 cubic feet for AWD models (26.5 cubic feet with FWD) and a nice wide cargo opening. You can drop down the rear seats to accommodate longer items, but they don't fold completely level with the load floor. Interior cabin storage is sufficient, with a few modestly sized compartments to use, though the cupholders are a bit small.

And if towing is something you plan to do, the Corolla Cross can move a maximum of 1,500 pounds, which is respectable for this size SUV.

Value

6.9/10

Is the Toyota Corolla Cross a good value? The Corolla Cross provides good value for the class at lower trim levels thanks to its many standard features. The top trims are well equipped, but the price rises quickly as you move up the lineup. Underlying build quality feels solid, but the interior's abundant use of plastic makes it feel a tad cheap and competitors look and feel a step above what the Toyota offers.

Toyota's basic and powertrain warranties are par for the course. You get three-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper and five-year/60,000-mile powertrain coverage. However, the complimentary maintenance plan for two years/25,000 miles with roadside assistance is a nice perk.

Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below

MPG

8/10

How’s the fuel economy? We tested the fully loaded XLE AWD that has an EPA-estimated 30 mpg combined. That's slightly above the class average. The base Corolla Cross with front-wheel drive is a bit more frugal at 32 mpg combined. Our test vehicle posted 33 mpg on our 115-mile highway-heavy, mixed-driving evaluation route, indication that the 30 mpg EPA number should be realistic.

X factor

6/10

The Corolla Cross is a vehicle of necessity, not something you buy for emotional satisfaction. It'll serve you well in your daily needs as a practical and comfortable SUV, but it's quite uninspiring to drive.

Which Corolla Cross does Edmunds recommend?

We like the midgrade LE. It keeps the cost down but comes with several upgrades over the base trim, such as alloy wheels, tinted rear windows, a wireless charging pad and blind-spot warning.

The new 2023 SUV in my garage

2023 Toyota Corolla Cross L 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl CVT)

This is one of the more affordable small SUV's on the market and hopefully it will retain its' value. It provides a nice ride and easy handling. The rear compartment is ample but leg room for rear passengers is a little less so. There is no rear window wash or wiper! The windows are not tinted; that bothers my grandchildren & myself on sunny days. You can open this vehicle with your key …

Beware L Packaging - Toyota Petty

Cross Lover Wareham Mass, 08/08/2023

2023 Toyota Corolla Cross L 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl CVT)

I have a 2023 Cross L AWD that I picked up in late March and now has 11,000 miles. I love this vehicle! What amazes me the most is the fuel economy. I’m getting a consistent 34 mpg or so. I’m coming from a 2016 Scion iM that got 36 mpg. So to have this Cross get similar fuel economy for a vehicle much larger with AWD is nothing short of phenomenal. I chalk it up to the efficient low … revving CVT transmission. I loved the CVT in the Scion, which has already gone 210,000 miles. I chose the Cross and it’s CVT over the RAV4 and it’s 8 speed auto, as I assumed correctly that the Cross fuel economy would come out on the high end of the EPA numbers. My fear was the RAV4 with its slightly larger chassis, bigger engine, and less efficient transmission would return fuel economy in the mid-20’s. That fuel economy difference adds up when you take a vehicle over 200,000 miles. The engine has plenty of power for me. The warnings about the low power just don’t ring true for me. I find it has typical Corolla power, efficiently getting the job done. I have even pulled a utility trailer loaded with 750 lbs of firewood with no issues. My biggest complaint is that Toyota can be so petty in how they packaged this L. I am especially pissed off that the “so called intermittent” wipers that are just a single constant delay intermittent, rather than a common sense variable intermittent. Toyota is so petty they could have added the intermittent feature and increased the price another $25. To torment us L owners like this, is unconscionable. Oh what a feeling in any light rain! The L also does not come with a rear washer/wiper. What would this have cost them? $150 max? So damn petty to the point of not even making sense. So beware if you are thinking of getting the L model. Toyota intends to torment you for your thriftiness. I’m a little concerned about the thousands of times over the life of this vehicle that I press that “cancel auto stop” button to turn off that incredibly annoying feature. I’m not sure that Toyota designed that switch to cycle on and off that many times. I’m also not a fan of the automatic parking brake. I’m wondering how much it’s going to cost me when that inevitably fails, when the servo no longer serves. I’m loving the Apple car play, although getting from it to Sirius XM is less than intuitive when Apple car play is locked in. I love the ground clearance and the AWD system has worked well. The sound system is good. I have experienced that road noise “living in a sub woofer” effect, but I quickly get used to it and it doesn’t seem to be all the time. The seats are typical Corolla seats. Not as comfortable on long trips as my sporty Scion iM seats. The Cross handles well and the ride is surprisingly smooth on bumpy roads. Basically I consider the Cross to be a 2/3rds sized RAV4 without the $5500 price premium and with better fuel economy. I see a lot of L’s, so Toyota is capitalizing on the value of this great vehicle.

2023 Toyota Corolla Cross XLE 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl CVT)

Picked up my Corolla Cross from the dealer a few weeks ago, it took a few months till it finally came in. This is a very solid, well made vehicle, reminds me of a larger Hyundai Kona which I owned previously. Lots of great tech and the mileage has been good so far too. Reminds me of a Rav 4's younger brother. The only downside is the road noise, I wish Toyota would have put more …
