  1. AMD, When you reviewed the under-powered, non-Hybrid Corolla Cross on March 23, 2022, you were still shooting videos in your home garage. In that review you paused, took a deep breath and called it, "HOPELESSLY SLOW!!" I implored, begged and beseeched people to wait for the Hybrid. I am glad we agreed then and we agree now. Over all, I would still pay the extra cash and take the extra back seat space*, utility, tow capacity and spare tire that come with the RAV4 Hybrid. 😉 * The HR-V's back seat legroom puts the Corolla Cross to shame. :face-blue-wide-eyes:

  2. After 18 years driving a Vibe, I would have to ask Toyota, what happened to the fold-forward front passenger seat, separately opening hatch glass and spare tire?

  3.  @sixty9harleyPittsburghPAP  At 6'2", I feel your pain. When the current generation of RAV4 made its debut, there were still (made by Toyota) Yaris hatches at my local dealer. I noticed the tiny Yaris had more headroom than the new RAV4. 🤨The TNGA generation of models has been awful for tall drivers.

  6. Yes, Toyota finally provided generous rear seat headroom with a TNGA model and then forgot people have legs.

  7. If I was shopping for a Toyota Hybrid in the UK, I would buy a Corolla Touring Sports with a much longer wheelbase and more accommodating back seat than the Cross.

  8. RAV4 Hybrid,

  9. Unlike earlier generations, Toyota New Global Architecture uses a single 103.9 inch Corolla/Corolla Cross/UX wheelbase for just about every market in the world. The one exception is their Corolla wagon for Europe which was stretched to 106.3" and provides ample back seat room. The Corolla Cross offers generous headroom but nowhere for back seat passengers to stick their legs. Honda on the other hand, caters their designs so parts of the world where people are bigger get bigger models. Our market's HR-V embarrasses the Cross in terms of passenger space.

  11. Yes, Toyota is over-promising and under-delivering Hybrids these days.

  14.  @dander0762  I am thrilled to hear you own an Avensis Touring which was never sold where I live. I hope your Yaris Cross is the all wheel drive model with independent rear suspension. Here in Canada we cannot buy a Yaris of any description or a Corolla Estate. ☹

  16. The world is waiting for that review. I hope we see one from AMD next fall.

  17.  @MrSummerjamsam  Yes, big on the outside and small on the inside is the main problem with TNGA.
