About the 2024 Toyota Corolla Cross

1st generation Corolla Cross in the U.S. (2022-present); 2024 is the third model year overall and a pre-refresh year. The Corolla Cross Hybrid joined for 2023, so 2024 is the hybrid lineup’s second year.

Toyota positions the Corolla Cross as the sweet spot between a Corolla car and a larger SUV: easy to drive, easy to park, efficient, and more useful than a sedan. The core appeal is upright seating, flexible cargo room, standard safety tech, and a choice between a simple gas engine or a quicker, more efficient hybrid with standard AWD. Against rivals, it leans toward everyday practicality, familiarity, and low-stress ownership more than flashy performance or luxury.

The lineup runs from straightforward gas trims to sportier 196-hp hybrid trims with standard AWD. The L covers the basics with an 8-inch touchscreen and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while the gas XLE and Hybrid XSE add comfort features such as heated front seats and a power-adjustable driver’s seat. The Hybrid Nightshade stands out with black exterior details and black-and-red seats.

“It gets good gas mileage but could have more compartments for storage for the driver on the inside. Definitely needs more cubbie holes in the front.”

DADixie A.
2024 Toyota Corolla Cross AWD

“Toyota has an excellent reputation and I've finally found the perfect car …. the Carolla Cross Hybrid. At present I'm getting 38.5 MPG. It's definitely worth considering. Easy on the eyes easy on the gas and fun to drive!”
