The Corolla Cross Hybrid has more power and much better fuel economy than the conventional model, making it the clear choice between the two.
The electric drive gives a smooth shove off the line and the added power helped it shave about 1.5 seconds off the regular model’s 0 to 60 mph time.
There’s certainly no arguing with its impressive 41 mpg overall with standard all-wheel drive, a 13-mpg gain.
The hybrid is slightly quieter due to its ability to drive on electric power at low speeds, but it's still loud overall, and the cabin has basic furnishings.
The Hybrid's ride is a bit more composed and handling is slightly more responsive.
The infotainment system has wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
AEB with pedestrian, bicyclist, and motorcycle detection, along with AEB highway, come standard.
BSW and RCTW are standard on all trims except for the base Hybrid S.
