2025 Toyota Corolla Cross LE

The Corolla Cross is Toyota's subcompact SUV, slotting below the RAV4 and offering a practical, efficient alternative to the Honda HR-V and Nissan Kicks. The Corolla Cross handles with a composed, planted feel that makes it more engaging than many rivals, though the base engine can feel strained on steep grades. The cabin is straightforward and well-built, with a user-friendly infotainment system and a rear seat that fits two adults comfortably, though cargo space trails some competitors. Toyota's reputation for dependability extends to the Corolla Cross, which shares proven components with the Corolla sedan and is expected to be a low-maintenance ownership proposition. The LE adds convenience features like keyless entry and a larger touchscreen over the base L, while keeping the same 2.0L engine and all-wheel drive. Its 2.0L I4 makes 169 horsepower and pairs with an automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, delivering a composed ride that feels planted on the highway. Fuel economy is a strong point at 30 mpg combined, and the LE's standard all-wheel drive adds confidence in rain or light snow without a big penalty at the pump.
