2022 Toyota Corolla Cross L

The Corolla Cross is Toyota's small SUV, sized between the C-HR and the RAV4, and it's the one to look at if you want Corolla practicality in a taller body. It drives with the same easygoing character as the Corolla sedan, steering lightly and feeling nimble around town, though it's not the quickest thing off the line. The ride is on the firm side, which keeps body roll in check, but you'll still find it comfortable for daily errands and highway trips. Inside, the cabin is straightforward and roomy for four, with a cargo area that swallows strollers and luggage without fuss. The L is for buyers who want all-wheel drive without paying for extras; the LE adds convenience features but the same powertrain. Its 2.0L I4 makes 169 horsepower and pairs with automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, giving you confident traction in rain or light snow and 30 mpg combined. You get steel wheels and manual rear windows here, which keeps the price low but means you'll want the LE if heated seats or keyless entry matter.
