2023 Toyota Corolla Cross L

The Corolla Cross is Toyota's compact SUV, slotting between the subcompact C-HR and the RAV4. It competes with the Honda HR-V, Nissan Kicks, and Subaru Crosstrek, offering a taller ride than the Corolla sedan. The Cross feels nimble in town, with light steering and a suspension that absorbs most bumps without fuss. Inside, the cabin is straightforward and roomy, with a cargo area that swallows strollers and weekend bags. Every model includes Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, with adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist as standard. The L is the base Corolla Cross, so you get steel wheels and manual seats, but it still has the full Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 suite and an 8-inch touchscreen. This one is front-wheel drive, but if you want all-weather grip, the L can be had with all-wheel drive for a bit more money.
