2023 Toyota Corolla Cross LE

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 LE adds 17-inch alloy wheels, a larger touchscreen, and keyless entry over the base L, making it the value pick for daily driving. Its 2.0L I4 makes 169 horsepower and pairs with a automatic transmission driving the front wheels, which returns 32 mpg combined and feels peppy around town.
