In the ultra-competitive world of compact crossovers, the Toyota Corolla Cross is a true gem that outshines rivals like the Honda HR-V, Subaru Crosstrek, and Nissan Rogue. But don't take our word for it. New Holland Toyota wants to show you how the all-new Toyota Corolla Cross measures up to its peers in some of the categories you think are important.
Pop the hood of the Corolla Cross and you'll find a spirited 2.0-liter Dynamic Force four-cylinder engine pumping out a robust 169 horsepower and 150 pound-feet of torque. That's noticeably more power than the HR-V's 158 horsepower and 138 pound-feet, giving you snappier acceleration for merging and passing on Lancaster highways. The larger Rogue pumps out a robust 201 horsepower, from its smaller three-cylinder engine. The combo makes its performance seem sluggish in comparison.
Harnessing that power is an intelligent CVTi-S transmission featuring a 10-speed manual mode. It provides silky smooth operation in automatic mode for a relaxed drive through New Holland. Still, it lets you take manual control with steering wheel paddle shifters when you want to dial up the fun. Neither the HR-V nor the Crosstrek offers this versatile transmission setup that caters to your driving mood.
Subaru's Crosstrek Hybrid makes do with a smaller 2.5-liter gas-electric powertrain that only musters 162 horsepower and 154 pound-feet. And while it comes standard with all-wheel drive, the Crosstrek's system isn't as refined as the Corolla Cross's available Dynamic Torque Control AWD. This intelligent system can send up to 50 percent of engine torque to the rear wheels for superior traction and control in slippery conditions around Ephrata.
Step inside the Toyota Corolla Cross and you're greeted by a cabin that punches far above its price point. Premium materials abound, from the stitched dash and door panels to the supple leather-wrapped steering wheel. Plush, supportive seats are trimmed in high-quality fabrics or available in SofTex synthetic leather for a truly upscale look and feel.
Both front and rear passengers will appreciate the Corolla Cross's generous headroom and legroom. The HR-V and Crosstrek feel more confined, and their seats aren't as well-cushioned for long drives to Reading, PA. Automatic climate control comes standard on the Corolla Cross, with dual-zone functionality on higher trims for personalized comfort. A standard 60/40-split folding rear seat and available power liftgate make cargo loading a snap.
No matter which Corolla Cross trim you choose, you'll get a vibrant eight-inch touchscreen display with standard Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa compatibility for seamless smartphone integration. All your favorite apps, maps, and media are just a tap away. Built-in USB ports charge your devices, while wireless charging provides cable-free convenience.
The HR-V and Crosstrek offer fewer advanced infotainment systems with smaller standard touchscreens. They also lack Amazon Alexa functionality for enhanced voice control. For the most immersive audio experience, the Corolla Cross offers a nine-speaker JBL premium sound system that fills the cabin with rich, crystal-clear sound. It's an auditory upgrade you simply won't find in the Honda or Subaru.
The Corolla Cross protects you with the most advanced driver assistance technologies available. Every trim comes standard with Toyota Safety Sense, a comprehensive suite of active safety features designed to help prevent accidents. It includes pre-collision warning with automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane departure alert with steering assist, automatic high beams, and even Road Sign Assist to keep you aware of speed limits and road conditions.
Available blind spot monitoring and rear cross traffic alert provide an extra set of eyes when changing lanes around Lititz or backing out of tight spots in Thorndale shopping centers. The HR-V and Crosstrek offer similar features, but not the full array of Toyota Safety Sense technologies. The Rogue falls short in terms of its standard safety features.
When maximizing your value on your next subcompact SUV, the Toyota Corolla Cross rises to the top of the list. Its base trim starts at just $24,035. The HR-V has an MSRP of $26,200. The Nissan Rogue will cost you a bit more, with its $29,230 starting price. The Subaru Crosstrek is the closest with a starting price of $25,695.
With its balance of power, efficiency, comfort, technology, and safety, the Toyota Corolla Cross is the hands-down winner in its class of compact crossovers. Set you up a test drive to see why the Corolla Cross leaves the competition in the rearview mirror.
