Its inly a 3 month wait for RAV4’s right now. I decided on the Corolla Cross (11 month wait) and ordered one yesterday and they told me 3 months for the RAV4 with any model.
Thank you for a great video in comparing these vehicles. Appreciate the helpful, knowledgeable and interesting facts which will help us make a more informed decision.
Drove a rental Cross today from Newcastle to Lismore - great little car. Effortless on the motorway, handled some rough secondary roads well too. Surprisingly good. Even the CVT was bearable.
You should put "Hybrid" in the title. I did not know that RAV-4 Hybrid was available as FWD. Also, two crossovers and no off-road test, even a mild one?
I stopped watching when you were testing the top spec awd corolla cross and a mid tier 2wd Rav4? should have been either mid tier with same drive train, or top spec with same drive train. not a fair comparison.
These line-ups are always tricky to navigate. Sometimes you get price parity sometimes you get spec or powertrain parity. But always you get complaints. It's hard to please everyone but thanks for your feedback.
They are a great little car, mine is 6 months old 6500kms, love driving it, can't fault it mechanically, shame about the paint tho' already flaking off the rear spoiler.
You missed the most important difference between them, the corolla cross has a much smaller gas tank its even smaller than corolla sedan ,so what,,s the point, you will be stopping for petrol a lot more often.
funny here in Canada back in november 2023 pre-order corolla 2024 cross hybrid se was 2 to 2 years and half then 2024 rav4 hybrid 6/12 months i am having my rav4 xle hybrid premium end of june. no going back being 6 feet3 men the rav4 was a no brainer and a wopping 3500$ more then the corolla cross is not so much more for so much more the package in rav4 will be.
Thanks for the video, love Rav4, how cool is that Toyota Cross, first time I saw it very nice feature, it is a complex decision Wich one to pick both amazing.
True but the Toyota can tow and has a spare tyre. If the Honda HRV hybrid had these feature we would have bought one. In Australia at least the HRV hybrid does not. So we are buying a Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid. I’m not totally happy about this as the HRV was so beautiful and perfect. I wish we could have bought it but unfortunately Australia when driving in the country not having a spare tyre is really risky. Also being able to tow a small trailer opens up a lot of options if you have a farm.
I have a brand new rav4 cruiser, you complain about the reverse camera but in the new releases or higher models it has the 360 view camera, you also didn’t mention the fact the higher models come with sunroofs. Such a cynical view of a pretty good car. Both cars are good options depending on peoples budgets and needs.
I own two cars, both from different manufacturers and the screens do not sit up like after DIY afterthought and both are easier to use and read than the tablet format because they are both angled at close to 90 degrees to my eye scan angle. I’ve been driving renters for the past 3 weeks both with tablet style screens and both harder to use due to viewing angle
@@stuartferguson7947 you're describing your personal preference, not ergonomics from a design standpoint. Higher screens are safer before they're closer to your field of view when looking at the road ahead. It's as simple as that.
@@FFXIVArtist Yes ~ personal preference/opinion based on 10s Thousands of Km using both formates from city, outback/desert and mountain driving, but I’m assuming in your opinion that makes me wrong 🤔
What a cynical marketing exercise. Can’t wait 2 years for a RAV4 ? No worries, go buy a Cross, they only have a few months wait! How about the world’s largest car company works out how to make more cars and maybe put some effort into the interior design?
What truly amazes e about car review is the focus on cup holders,a million USB ports etc. All the stuff thatshilst useful is not what i want to see. Yes apple car play andandroid auto is a must as you can use google maps and not rely on sat nav. I more intersted in good handling and reasonable performance , i certainly only need reasonable power and i think 140kws is more than sufficient for use on public roads.
@@davidnguyen9409 The only complaint was the CVT transmission. No more CVT issues. 2023 onwards Nissan uses a chain-driven CVT, as does Subaru. The interior is extremely luxurious, and the car drives very smoothly.
If you are right then It is only one year Nissan changed the Cvt to chain type. Still have to prove it self and given the decade old horrendous record of nissan transmission I can't trust it.
Lol😂 gave up on modern Toyota's years ago!" Got a boxy 1985 corona my exs Grandfathers car 2.o St141 in storage also an AE82 1.6 Corolla sedan both immaculate condition!!!
@@Barry-26 because the new-gen C-HR only just came out and probably wasn't available for filming yet and there's no point in doing it with the outgoing C-HR. Also, the Corolla Cross is more similar in size to the RAV4, so makes sense more people would be cross-shopping between these two.
the comparison here is because the rav4 wait time is soooo looong that the corolla cross with its slightly raised body could an alternative while still staying with a toyota.
Poor review, you failed to mention what badge the Corolla Cross is? GX GXL or Atmos? fwd or AWD? 1:02 you failed to mention the market leader the Mazda CX-5 as the competitor the outlander and shortage are shit cars.
Please do more of these comparisons. I enjoyed this one.
You got it. Intra-brand comparisons are fun.
Luv this type of comparison reviews. Thank you.
2 years to wait for a Rav4 is ridiculous
In Italy i have to wait 3-5 months! I have ordered my 20 dicember
How? I live in a 3rd world country and the local dealership has tons of RAV4 in inventory 😂
it's a tactic to sell that car without any discounts.
Components supply has normalized 12 months ago.
We have to wait in Australia. The plus side it gives us time to save up to buy the car with cash.
Its inly a 3 month wait for RAV4’s right now. I decided on the Corolla Cross (11 month wait) and ordered one yesterday and they told me 3 months for the RAV4 with any model.
Thanks for this comparison, was looking for an Australian version for a long time.
The table shows that the RAV4 has 360 camera
I think only top trim got 360
Ltd
Thank you for a great video in comparing these vehicles. Appreciate the helpful, knowledgeable and interesting facts which will help us make a more informed decision.
I don't know why, but I really dig the CC! Really great video, I wondered how they matched up. Thanks for posting!
I bought a Corolla Cross Atmos, the same as the one displayed. I am getting 4.7 L/100k average. I waited one year for it.
So it consume the same as rav4
@@hoomaham4183 Not really. You can get 4-ish if you drive on the ECO mode and don't go at it in the Power mode.
Great video, especially the visual side by side comparisons. Nice and easy to understand.
Glad you liked it!
Reliable, cheap to fix and maintain. Toyota l = less stress and peace of mind.
In 2 years time, when the car shows up.😆
Once upon a time🤭!.
Yeah a 2 year wait when you don't have the car. No stress at all
Corolla Cross should be known as Sprinter Carib (Corolla 4WD Wagon)
Totally.
Drove a rental Cross today from Newcastle to Lismore - great little car. Effortless on the motorway, handled some rough secondary roads well too. Surprisingly good. Even the CVT was bearable.
1.4 or 2.0
@@WATCHOCCUPATION101 I do not know! Mid spec rental
RAV4 is the way forward
Unless you want a RAV4 that’s a bit smaller like they used to be.
I don't really like it. Feels a bit sluggish in comparison with the CC. Due to added kg and not so powerful engine feels like a snail.
6 speaker sound system is standard, but JBL sound system is with 8 speakers
9 😊

We can work on this - thanks for the feedback!
RAV4 my all time favorite car.❤

It is a fair comparison because it's also a huge $ difference. Mid tier AWD CC doesn't come close to the base RAV 4 (at least here in Europe).
These line-ups are always tricky to navigate. Sometimes you get price parity sometimes you get spec or powertrain parity. But always you get complaints. It's hard to please everyone but thanks for your feedback.

What about economical ?
I can barely tell the difference between the two cars.
Get some glasses
@@fallguy4209 How about you get a new hobby?!
cc is smaller version
Exactly- I chose the Cross since the RAV4 was so popular

Depends how you drive?
funny here in Canada back in november 2023 pre-order corolla 2024 cross hybrid se was 2 to 2 years and half
then 2024 rav4 hybrid 6/12 months
i am having my rav4 xle hybrid premium end of june. no going back being 6 feet3 men the rav4 was a no brainer and a wopping 3500$ more then the corolla cross is not so much more for so much more the package in rav4 will be.
You said the CC is a better tow vehicle. Why? I have a small boat I need to tow. Under 700kg
AWD.
Rav4 more stylish 😎
No way non-hybrid cars have under 5L/100km consumption. Just used Rav4 for 1000km highway trip. Average was 7.8L/100km
Your driving matters, just about light throttling and an avg speed of 60-65 mph might get you closer to 5l/km
Hybrids are less efficient if you're doing a lot of highway driving. They use the frequent braking in city driving to recapture energy
I can tell you that’s a lie, I was going 100KMH I’m it for 100Km And it was 4.5/100Km
Thanks for the video, love Rav4, how cool is that Toyota Cross, first time I saw it very nice feature, it is a complex decision Wich one to pick both amazing.
Topguns in England 🏴
Toyota delivery- years 🤬

Does the sun roof leak after years
Nice but not a fan of the centre screen design so many makers are using, it looks like an after thought added by a backyard DIY guy.
I’ve got a Yaris Cross. I get your point but the centre screen is in a good spot for viewing and access. So, practicality over aesthetics…
It's for viewing angles so you don't take your eyes off the road.

Rather buy a 2nd hand Rav than a new Carolla X
Why ? Because I’m
About to get one Corolla X soon
toyota corolla cross outer look awesome. Good vibe. outer look better than Rav
Wait, you should compare all new yaris cross vs Corolla cross
Coz i think all interface almost same but pricing its too far

No one said that you had to buy one...
Wait times for a x is 1.5 years for top spec
The Cross is a bit smaller than the RAV4. Imagine a Rav4 from 2010 and it would be a similar size to the Cross.
Toyota : here's how we do things around kids, we consider better reliability overbetter interior 😂...
@@THUGPUTINthe interior isn’t even that bad. I’ve got a new rav4 cruiser and it’s really nice.
Shame the Corolla Cross isn't available in the UK, the Rav4 has grown bigger would consider a smaller SUV
It has a small tank 9.51 gallons!!! Think about it before you buy it!!! Its a hybdrid lon range!!! Not electric!!!!

The Cross looks more appealing.
2 years wait equals it will not be the current model by the time you get it. Ridiculous!
Nissan X-Trail petrol and hybrid variants are a serious rival to the RAV 4. More tech and up market interior
Nissan reliability is a joke compared to Toyota's.

As will be the Tuscon Hybrid when it turns up later in the year👌

4x2 buy a Corolla Cross, 4x4 buy a Rav 4

BTW the Corolla Cross is not a Toyota, this is rebadged Mazda. Look it up.
RAV4 is 2.5 engine !!
Nissan X-Trail petrol and hybrid variants are a serious rival to the RAV 4.
yeah,nahh
I think they still use cvts in the xtrails
Are these Toyotas in competition with Subaru for ugliest cars on the market. Zero sense of aesthetics inside and out.
How can you said that when literally every brand just about had a model that resembles both now.
Corolla cross feeels like toyota corolla. Ravs is ravs
RAV4 is slow. You can feel it when you drive it. It's so much heavier and the spec isn't making up for it. CC feels a lot more faster.
Boringggggggggggg
🤣
CVT🤮🤮🤮
