2024 Toyota Corolla Cross Review: Trim Level Comparisons

The 2024 Toyota Corolla Cross stands out in the compact crossover market by combining SUV practicality with Corolla reliability. This model is designed to offer more space and utility than the traditional Corolla sedan, while remaining budget-friendly.

The Corolla Cross is positioned below the larger RAV4 in Toyota's lineup and replaces the discontinued C-HR, offering a versatile option for those seeking a compact SUV.

Here, we explore the differences between the three available trim levels: L, LE, and XLE, to help you choose the best fit.

Exterior Differences

The 2024 Toyota Corolla Cross offers subtle yet significant exterior differences across its trim levels. The base L trim provides a clean, straightforward design with standard 17-inch steel wheels and LED headlights.

As you move up to the LE trim, you'll notice enhancements like alloy wheels, heated side mirrors, and integrated turn signals, adding a touch of sophistication. The XLE trim further elevates the exterior with 18-inch alloy wheels, LED fog lights, and a power moonroof, providing a more premium appearance for those who value aesthetics.

Interior Features and Comfort

The 2024 Corolla Cross trims cater to different comfort and convenience needs when considering the interior. The L trim, while being the most affordable, still offers essential features such as a standard 7-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto compatibility. The LE trim builds on this foundation with an 8-inch touchscreen, upgraded upholstery, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.

The XLE trim, aimed at those desiring more luxury, includes a 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, dual-zone climate control, and heated front seats. Enhanced safety features, like blind-spot monitoring, are also standard on the XLE, making it the most equipped option for comfort and convenience.

Performance and Specifications

All trim levels of the 2024 Corolla Cross are powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, producing 169 horsepower and 150 lb-ft of torque, paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT). This setup provides adequate power for city and highway driving, with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive available across all trims.

The Corolla Cross achieves a balanced performance, with an estimated fuel economy of 31 mpg city and 33 mpg highway. While the engine can feel noisy under heavy acceleration, it delivers a smooth and composed ride, making it a practical choice for everyday use.

Pricing and Value

The pricing of the 2024 Toyota Corolla Cross reflects its position as a compact yet versatile SUV. The base L trim starts at approximately $23,860, offering an affordable entry point for buyers. The LE trim, priced around $26,190, adds valuable features that many buyers may find worth the additional cost.

At the top, the XLE trim, starting at $28,085, is ideal for those seeking a more premium experience without reaching the higher price points of larger SUVs. With these options, buyers can find a trim that fits their budget and needs.
