The problem is you can't get either hybrid - the wait times are way too long on the west coast. A friend of mine wanted to get a Corolla Cross Hybrid but was told the wait time was well over a year. The RAV4 Hybrid is too big for his needs. So instead he's waiting for the Honda Civic Hybrid. Not sure it will work - sits too low. I'm encouraging him to put down a deposit for the Corolla Cross Hybrid and see if one might come in quicker.
I’m no expert and I’m not sure that I could follow my own advice, but you could look into buying one in another part of the country. If this person needs a vehicle so badly it beats buying a vehicle that won’t work for them.
We ordered a Corolla Cross Hybrid in August of 23 here on the West Coast. We were told 8 months wait. That’s April/May 24 This is Sept 16 and we were told at least 3 more months. We are holding our order for now to see what 2025 changes bring, but have our eye on a few others just in case
The gas RAV4 gets great mpg. The RAV4 is much safer in a crash since it rides on the large car platform. With the small price difference and better resale get a RAV4.
@@ms.b9093 No! I ordered the all NEW redesigned model. 2025 1/2 which is the 2026. It’s announced at the auto show in November. I was 1St order. Nobody wants the old 2024/2025 model. 👎🏼
WHAT'S KILLING RAV4 HYBRID IS THE FACT THAT THE TOYOTA CROSS HYBRID IS THE PRICE OF WHAT THE RAV4 USED TO SELL FOR. THE RAV4 HAS GOTTEN VERY EXPENSIVE AND HAS LIMITED AVAILABILITY IN SOME MARKETS.
Hey Marcello if I’ve been waiting 13 months for this car can I go back and change the colour? I don’t see it being a problem since there is no production date on my car. What do you think. Thx and keep up the great videos
You mentioned a couple badges changing in 2025, and two color options being removed... Any positive changes coming? The Corolla is getting a 10.5 inch screen, will the cross xse as well? Any new colors being added to replace the two being removed?
For Canada, the Corolla Cross hybrid is really attractive. Come with standard TPMS, RSA work in canada and more refine and work really well TSS 3.0 where our Canadian winter road is get cut line and line disappear often and it able to predict and keep the car straight. the TSS 2.5 of RAV4 is like a joke. the only RAV4 is better is more small storage, back space, spare tire and better back up camera, less road noise but have wind noise. source: I own the Corolla Cross Hybrid for 3 month in winter time and also drive RAV4.
Not in the UK, unfortunately Toyota decided we can’t have the Corolla Cross because they’re pushing the CH-R. I still think the RAV4 is better than either of them though.
Single senior. CC 24 AWD hybrid has same cargo space with seats down as Rav 4. Hyper miling get 85+MPG local, 56-8 highway, 38 freeway 70 MPH. @2k engine run time between oil changes, will double after warranty. Glad to see that baby poop color going away. Who's idea was that?
I have a RAV4 Hybrid XSE, still way better than the Corolla Corolla Hybrid XSE, 23 more horse power, and rear wheels have 54 HP, the Corolla Cross Hybrid rear wheels have 41HP, lot more cargo space, nicer interior, larger display. Panoramic sunroof, 360 degree camera, digital review mirror, all 4 doors smart key operations are NOT available on the Corolla Cross XSE. Also the JBL stereo in the RAV4 has 11 speckers, the Corolla Cross's JBL stereo has only 9 speakers. In AWD model, RAV4 Hybrid is a much better performer than the Corolla Cross Hybrid. The Corolla Cross Hybrid does offer more MPG than the RAV4 Hybrid due to smaller engine.
The 0-100 kmh is the same 7.x sec. Power to weight ratio is your friend. Dont care about moonroof and 360 camera unless it saves a kid or dog from getting hit but most don't have that. What I do is look around outside before I get in to reverse so I know a child, dog, human isn't going to suddenly appear. I bet most ppl don't do this and rely on backup camera only. I don't listen to loud music so don't care about JBL bs.
Hi Marcello, I bought the 2024 Corolla Cross LE Premium gas model from your dealership this summer. I'm loving it but I'm waiting to get the Toyota app downloaded (system was down when I was there). BTW, do the exterior side mirrors fold in?
Got our 2023 Cross Hybrid, SE a few weeks ago. Saw ad in kijiji, at same dealer where we had deposit on Rav 4(still a year away). Used,, 14,000 kms., Price is still sinful, but...., In reality, when our hunt for hybrid began, we were told that it will be 2 yrs wait. So, within 2 days we bought it, sold our 2015 Jetta TDI and drove back to lake. Been back and forth a few times, and mileage is: 55 on highway and 61 in city. Not 63 combined like our Jetta, but close. And here in Canada the gas is about 15 cents/litre cheaper than diesel. Very very pleased with car overall, except for the freekin' Star Wars sound that you hear when backing up to alert people that the car is moving-when in hybrid mode. Oh also, the horn is kind of embarrassing, would sound ok on a golf cart I guess.
Possibly because Canada is building Toyota cars and prioritising US sales? In Europe we get the Japanese version and only have to wait six weeks currently. Maybe you guys need to boycott the Canadian Toyota plant?! 😉
More than 1 year wait for most in Canada unless you know that salesman and he will bump the other orders for you. Meaning your connection will get you higher up the waitlist/queue. F Toyota and the dealers sorry because I've been waiting since last May.
You scored well with the Venza, better then the Signia with more features, thousands less then that parts bin made vehicle. Also Venza came with the spare tire.
CC is a sub compact crossover and Rav4 is compact crossover, which is one class above. But when you compare 2 equivalently equiped models, like top trim CC and Rav4 XLE premium, OTD price difference is only 3k ish, not 6k-8k range. 1. CC is a bit overpriced, about 2-3k 2. Rav4 will get a hefty price increase for the new 2026 model. Then Toyota won't have 2 classes of crossovers within its own product line competing with themselves. Cars are getting expensive. A base trim ICE CRV AWD with steel rim and plastic covers will cost 44k, same as Rav4 hybrid LE. Rav4 hybrid LE is a better buy.
My friend, you have a great video on the Super Cool 2025 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid 👍 But once again you ruined it because you didn't quote in USA Specs and Amount$. Your Canada is much much much Smaller when comparing to the US, SO PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REMEMBER TO SAY EVERYTHING IN US NUMBERs TOO. THANK YOU VERY MUCH 🙏 Please DO NOT TALK ABOUT GAS ENGINE, THEY ARE A DISADVANTAGE! THE COROLLA CROSS IS ALSO $6,000 US CHEAPER THAN THE RAV4.
Why do Americans think the world revolves around them?! He’s a Canadian salesperson selling to Canadians so why would he bother quoting in US dollars. If you’re interested in the prices then simply go to the Toyota USA website. It’s not hard!

this is happening globally , car shortages and parts. Done by powerful men after covid

No. It is just over one month. I am getting mine in the first week of October. Paid advance last week.
All new redesigned 2025 1/2 RAV4 is incredible. 232 HP, 12” display and quieter. Placed my order! 😊
INCREDIBLE.? IT'S THE SAME. HAS NOT CHANGED AT ALL. DUE FOR A REDESIGN.

I have ordered my RAV 4 Prime, coming this early October.
I tried to get a Corolla hatchback and they told me 6 months wait, what a joke.
People are leaving Toyota to buy other brand because of that

The backseat and cargo area are very small.

I wish they would make a turbo model!
Not like the badging adds value. It just tells everyone else on the road details about your car. Not necessary.
Great video! Is the 2025 corolla cross the same one as the facelifted version that was released in the Philippines? Thanks!
I ordered mine the XSE trim in june 2024 and I will have around 24 November 202 in blue Celestite. I think a new trim will could be offered.
It needs a bigger fuel/gas tank for further distance driving
No, it is over overpriced and much smaller than the rav. But similar to the Rav it has a cheaply made interior.
It's definitely not overpriced
Spent about a month or two early in the Spring, and got a 2024 Venza Ltd, couldn’t be happier. Didn’t even bother to lineup for a Rav 4.
The Venza is a beautiful SUV. Very close to Lexus quality styling, ride quality, and interior. Too bad this is the last year of production.
This should be called the RAV-3 or the RAV-2

usually base model have less technology, so it cheaper to fix
Smaller than the RAV4 I call this the RAV-3
Waiting for my xse over 1 year, still waiting !
something is wrong. Wait times for the CC hybrids are just a month
@@adambakkam1527 which dealer?

The Mazda CX-70 with the Toyota Hybrid system may be the RAV4 killer.
The CX-70 does not use the Toyota hybrid powertrain.

Not sure how it will while here in Quebec Canada it takes up to 3 year's to get an rav4 prime. Probably that same for the corolla

Not in America, but if they had a heated steering wheel and similar package options they might.
RAV4 Hybrid is pretty old/tech and looks big. Better to wait for 2026 model. I needed a car so going with CC Hybrid.

Couldn’t you just look up that information? Not all content has to be made for us.
Toyota is so far behind compared to other car manufacturers. Design and electronics in the car look so outdated.
Rav4 is a much better vehicle for not alot more money
