This is a Motormouth couple car comparison of the new Toyota Corolla Cross subcompact crossover versus the new Honda HR-V subcompact SUV. The HR-V and Corolla Cross have a 2L 4-cylinder matched to a CVT but the Toyota offers more power, 169 horsepower and 150 lb-ft of torque compared to the Honda with 158 horsepower and 138 lb-ft of torque. Both have FWD and AWD options available. The HR-V and Corolla Cross offer a comfortable drive and are excellent in the city but once you get them on the highway, they both lack power when passing and cabin noise increases. Comparing size, these are good family vehicle options in this segment. The HR-V is over 4.2” longer than the Corolla Cross. The Toyota has an inch more front row legroom, the HRV wins in second row space offering an extra 5.7” and they both have about the same amount of cargo capacity behind the second row. Overall cargo space goes to the Corolla Cross with an extra 11 cubic feet of space. The HR-V offers 7” of ground clearance which is less than the Corolla Cross at 8.2”. Both the Toyota Corolla Cross and Honda HR-V are equipped with similar features, but both don’t offer ventilated front seats, heated rear seats or a power passenger seat. The Corolla Cross has a few features the HR-V doesn’t like an available power tailgate and a power driver seat. In the US, a power driver seat is available on the top trim of the HR-V but not in Canada. The HR-V has available wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto which the 2022 Corolla Cross doesn’t have but it is coming for 2023 along with a Corolla Cross Hybrid option. The Toyota Corolla Cross has better fuel economy, AWD gets 8.1L/100 km, 29 MPG city and 7.4L/100 km, 32 MPG highway. HR-V 9.4L/100 km, 25 MPG city and 7.8L/100 km, 30 MPH highway.
The Honda HR-V is more expensive with a FWD starting price of $28,730 CAD/$23,650 USD compared to the Corolla Cross $24,890 CAD/$22,445 USD. HR-V AWD $31,030 CAD/$25,150 USD, Corolla Cross AWD $26,290 CAD/$23,745 USD. The HR-V AWD top trim $37,130 CAD/$28,950 USD and the Corolla Cross AWD top trim $33,990 CAD/$27,875 USD.

Having test drove both of these vehicles a few times, not just watching videos, we bought the Hrv. The new Hrv styling inside and out is class leading as well as quality of materials used.

Its almost like Honda doesn’t really want to complete in this category. I’m a big fan of Honda, but you’d have to be insane not to appreciate Toyota’s value. Honda appears to competing against itself (CR-V). The Corolla Cross is going to be an absolute hit. Style and reliability? Check, and check. And then add the price difference… now you’ll have the best selling vehicle in Toyota’s lineup. I know two people who were cross shopping the Toyota against the Subaru Crosstrek. Toyota is listening to their clients, while Honda is missing this opportunity. Thanks for another comparison video.
You guys are second to none with these reviews. Thank you so much for the work you put into these reviews.
You guys are great. A very comprehensive review. I am an American but live in Thailand and my next car will be TOYOTA CROSS HYBRID. I owned 6 Honda cars in the past 40 years with a total of million miles on my Hondas! Thank you for helping me make my mind. In Thailand; like Canada; Honda models carry a premium on their pricing, which I don’t personally think is warranted.
The Corolla before the H RV. Pricing on the Honda is ridiculous. They give you less but they charge you more.
You have to drive them to give a fair assessment
I tried both, the Honda hrv was smoother to drive and less bouncy. That’s just my preference. Though the features they had for the back is better. I don’t mind it though because I can always add little gadgets to the back
Corolla Cross wins hands down with pricing and giving you more with rear ac vents and higher hp. I recently test drove one and found it quite pleasing to drive around the block (twice). Didn't get to go on the highway though. When I got back I jumped to the rear seats and found alot of room behind driver seat. I was really surprised as I thought it would be tight with my set driving position and I am 5'6. It has alot more than my Mazda3 sedan for sure. I will be ordering the hybrid later this year. If the HRV wants to compete, drop in the 1.5T and add in the air vents the China ZRV has(same car) with current pricing.
I believe Honda fixed the 1.5T oil condensation issues this year.
I still would go with the 2.0 naturally aspirated, over the 1.5 turbo engine. Non turbo more reliable on the long run, than a small engine with turbo. Turbos in gas powered engines tend to not be reliable as it ages.
I bought a 2022 HRV. I love it. Wish the 2023 models were out then but I had to buy quick before interest rates went way up. I got 1.9% APR for 5 years... 😁 The old design is a little more sporty than the new ones I think.
The new hrv is wayyy better🎉
Big fans from the US.
Can’t wait for reviews of the ‘23 CR-V Hybrid. I’d love to see that compared to the UX250h, and new Sportage Hybrid.
Can't go wrong with either one. Both well made. I bought the Cross XLE AWD, can't be happier. I'm sure the Honda would also have the same result.
We are trying to decide between the two- this was super helpful!! Thank you!!
HR V🎉
Thank you the excellent review. I would wait foe hybrid option
Brilliant review and so in line with what consumers care about: price, fuel consumption and benefits for your dollar. Unfortunately for Honda they are losing on all these criteria, and that’s not even including the Koreans.
Thank you for the video!
Thanks for watching!
GREAT COMPARO! I think you talked me into the top trim on the Toyota Cross, (up from the LE), I left Toyota for Subaru 6 years ago, (MISTAKE) bought a used 2020 Corolla LE from CARVANA for $19K with 17,000 miles. Regularly gets 38-40 MPG with the 1.8 liter 4 cyl, and its not a hybrid. I back in Toyota’s arms!. Thanks you two, got a great Chanel
Great video. I agree with everything you both said. I don’t get how the fuel economy is so bad for both of these cars. The CRV and RAV4 get better fuel economy then both of these smaller SUVs. That’s a head scratcher
Agreed. The whole point of going for these cars is because they're cheaper. But if you end up paying more in gas, then why bother?
The Cross gets a little bit better gas mileage than the RAV4. Maybe you were comparing it to the RAV4 Hybrid.
Hours of research saved! ✅
Thank you guys! 🙌🏻
Our pleasure!
Would like to hear more about the safety features on both vehicles. Adaptive cruise? Remote starter? These are necessary features for me.
Corolla Cross!
Toyota's known quality, safety, and reliability is my choice. My only complaint with Corolla Cross is lazy acceleration, but it's going to be my daily commuter: point A to point B will do 👍🥰
Nice video. Do either of these cars have full spare tires?
I am very interested in comparing their crash test scores. Supposedly, Honda made a big effort to improve the HRV’s safety, which is part of the reason for its high cost. But I’ll have to see the official crash test scores and videos.
I am looking to get a compact SUV as a second, small family vehicle, and both the HRV and Corolla Cross are on my radar. But, as a small family vehicle, safety and space are important for me. In this regard the new HRV is interesting, though its cargo capacity is a bit on the low side.
I bought the Corolla cross and really like it but don't get to drive it much because hubby loves it and drives it all the time!
Haha, you'll have to fight him for it! Glad to hearing you guys are enjoying it.
Another great comparison video Andrea and Zack. I like the Honda styling out of the two cars I must admit though Andrea. They both offer lots of options though to suit different tastes.
That is true, they are very different exterior and interior styling wise.
@@andreaspencer9813 couldn't agree more Andrea.

hrv is like a cheaper audi Some of us old people are finding the crv and rav4 too tall this appears lower Plug in hybrid corolla cross is what Im waiting for . Saving my nickels great show
In addition to port injection, Toyota's 2.0 also got direct injection for higher efficiency.
But FWD version of the Corolla Cross got the multi-link rear suspension castrated, unlike the Corolla.
Honda hrv is brilliant interms of interior and exterior design .but corolla has has more power more tech and better value .overall toyota corolla cross is the better option. Brilliant video as always .💜️
Cross has no leg room in the back seat, that was a turn off for me!
I bought the HRV 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Just grabbed the new HRV and test drove the Corolla. This thing is not slow, literally drove it on the highway on ECON it drives great! Has the largest storage out of all the compact cars this year. So tired of these biased reviews.
Just go and test drive the car like I did and decide for yourself :)
I'm still debating over these 2 powerhouse subcompact suvs. I've had my 2013 toyota corolla for decade now and would love either model but with awd bc I live in pnw where the weather is adhd.
For years my families owned both Toyota and Honda. After 2017 CR-V EX-L, it's time to choose a replacement for my aging parents. Only one thing between these 2 amazing below USD$30,000 CUV is the rear auto tail gate that sets the final decision. We're going for the Toyota Corolla Cross XLE this time, not because it's cheaper with a auto tail gate, but also the IIHS top safety pick + rating.
My money, Corrolla Cross. And I will wait on the hybrid.
I wonder if the larger 2.5 litre engine from the Rav4 could be stuffed under the Corrolla Cross hood for a sport model. (They did it with the old Maytrix!) I love that 2.4 litre in the Rav 4 hybrid(even when it sounds abit like a tractor when accellerating).
Cheers and great video as always.
Great idea - give the Cross the 2.5 drivetrain its weight requires.
I prefer the HRV. The gas mileage is worse because it doesn't have direct injection, which you don't want anyway for reliability reasons. I've looked very closely at the HRV and Cross, and all of the trims. The HRV Sport is the one to go for. You get remote start that is meant to be known and built to work at a distance unlike the newer Toyota fob, the Honda fob on that trim auto senses you, and you get heated front seats. It looks a lot better inside (and outside) too. I've driven both. Toss in that 2L Honda engine which is probably the most reliable engine on the market today, and you have a winner. In the US if you find an MSRP dealer you can get it plated and OTD on the road for just under 30. Best deal on the market in my opinion.
I have a Corolla hatchback so I’m partial to the Corolla Cross. Too bad it wasn’t available in 2020 when I bought my car!
I think I’d like the HRV if it was a bit more competitive on the price and I could get it with a 6spd manual over the cvt.
I checked out the latest HRV here in Australia and I ran out of the showroom.
It has the magic rear seats. 4 person seating. Incredible 5.8 l/100k consumption and the kicker... A 1.5 litre engine. No other options. What????
Build date is May 2022.
I was really interested in the new Honda HRV. I waited for what seemed forever for it to be released until I had to make a move to replace my 13 year old Civic. What followed me home was a 2022 VW Taos. Now that I have seen the new HRV, I'm glad I went the other way. More room, better seating, more power, better fuel economy and a lot cheaper. Sorry Honda, you guys really dropped the ball with this one. Thanks to you guys for your excellent videos as always. Keep up the good work.
But your VW is going too cost you more in the long run. more repairs and more cost to fix them.
Honda is always better than VW,i hope u did not make a mistake buying volks.
Have a Corolla Cross LE AWD and love it
I really love that green on the corolla cross, the hybrid would be my choice
I am considering the HR-V as I really do like the looks of the Sport model especially but you guys are right, the fuel consumption and missing features compared to its competitors is really disappointing. Excited to hear more about the new Kona coming out soon I think.
Cross has better audio system and has lumbar support.. but I do like the HRV looks better inside and out. I wouldn't get either cause both are missing something that I really want in my next car. I'll probably get a Rav4 in 2025, once things hopefully go back to normal and the next gen rav4 will probably look better.
yes except that 2L Honda is probably the most reliable engine on the entire new car market today. It doesn't have direct injection, which most cars do, hence the 3-4MPG loss. But it's going to be more reliable compared to anything with direct injection. I'd take that hit for something that is most likely to hit 300,000 miles if you want to keep it that long.
The beautiful and original exterior as well as the quality interior of the Honda HR-V, the more reliable engine and the quicker pep on the HR-V are why I’ve chosen the HR-V. Even though the Corolla has more HP and torque, it’s still slower! I only have so much patience. Lol
Where I live the Corolla cross for the top trim is 1k up to 3k more than the HRV top trim at the dealers after all the extra fees
Another great review: agree: dont take your friends up the mountains in these cars !!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Anyone knows when will the Toyota Cross 2023 be released? I'm struggling between the 2023 HRV and 2022 Corss...Should I wait for the 2023 Totota Cross or not?
I am a huge Acura/Honda fan, but in this case, I just don’t understand Honda thinking on asking for a more premium price but not giving us a more upscale product for the money. Also, why couldn’t Honda have put the 1.5T motor in the hrv? They could have detuned it to differentiate it from Civic and CRV models, say maybe 165 horses for hrv. This would be closer to the Toyota Cross’ 169 horsepower. Come on Honda, you can do much better for your customers.
I had a honda civic so I want to try the Carroll cross this time
Is it possible to import a Honda jazz or a ford puma?
Really bummed about how big the HR-V has gotten & the lack of a hybrid. It seems like there would be a huge market for subcompact hybrid suvs but they're so hard to find. I'm not sure about the Cross though either. At some point the entire fromt end of Toyotas is going to be a grill! But having ah hybrid option would definitely put it over the top for me.
The solution for Honda is simple: put in the L15C 175 bhp (130.5 kW) turbocharged engine, essentially a slightly derated version of the L15B found on the Honda Civic models. It may lose a little fuel economy but make up for it in way better acceleration.
@Sacto1654 it would actually get better fuel economy, and be quicker. My FiL has a previous gen Cr-v with the 1.5, and it gets much better gas mileage than my 9th gen Civic with the 1.8
what car are you in? with the panoramic sunroof? best subcompact suv with a pano sunroof?
The auto start will you pay monthly fee after 3 years?
Thank you for this! I'm glad I bought the Corolla Cross! Excited for it to arrive. Also, that cutie at 0:39 is distracting lol
Corolla Cross is intriguing. With the Corolla reliability and the hybrid coming, it maybe my next vehicle.
Looking forward to driving and reviewing the Corolla Cross Hybrid when it arrives.
I agree! I drove a Cross last weekend and was a bit disappointed with the highway pickup. But other than that i liked it.
I'd like to see both put in a 2.5L like Subaru has done with the Crosstrek.
I drove a 2023 Cross last weekend and I was very impressed by the display next to the speedometer that shows you current speed limit and it turns red if you're going over. Not *quite* heads up display but close.
Summer 2022 I rented a Cross for 5 days, really liked it. Put a deposit down for a FWD L Sep 27... and waited. Took delivery 6 1/2 months later. I'm glad I did, I'm happy with it. But to get one at MSRP the wait can be long.
If you want an AWD Cross there are more of those being made so the wait usually is shorter.
HRV does that too
While I understand, chassis/platforms have to be shared across the lineup, in order to keep costs down. I am not liking that the HR-V has the same front end, as the niche Civic Type R(With just a little more slanting in the way of headlights).
Love how the HRV looks but rear vents and a power liftgate has me waiting to test the Cross before making any purchase.
Those power lift gates, just like power anything else, will break down.
Just lift it yourself, a child can do it.
@@Winterstick549agreed, and the rear vent complaint... these 2 crossovers are so tiny that it's not even an issue or necessary.
What an interesting video !!! From my point of view, I am more a Honda fan than Toyota's because it is more fun to drive. But Honda Canada is practicing a strange price range for its recent cars : an HRV that costs too much compared to the competition and same for Civic Hatchback over a Civic Sedan. Also, to me the look of the HRV is dated as the engine that has been borrowed from an old Civic generation. Honda is pushing its luck too much !!! Fans like me are begining to look at other brands.
Btw. I had a Tesla Model S (75 Dual) this weekend. It had it’s highlights, but for the price I’d prefer anything else from Germany (or any other European country) for a much more resplendent experience. Tesla has yet to deliver any vehicles (in my opinion) with a sense of passion.
I firmly believe that Tesla fans are not car fans, which is why the tech thrills them. The way they drive is less than inviting and the interior is too basic.
@@kellingtonlink956 BTW what Tesla does in a HRV - Corolla Cross comparison ????????
I just left Honda for Subaru for the very same reason. Haven’t been sorry at all. I love my Forester.
I’ve been a Honda person for thirty years. I have walked away from Honda and all the latest iPad on top of the dash cars. Way too distracting. I pick up my Subaru Crosstrek next month. Bring back the Fit honda Canada. !! Oh wait , dollar per vehicle was not enough. Maybe that is why all the new Hondas are so over priced. OK rant over.
We went with the Corolla Cross and the VW Taos. We've had them now for 7 months and both have been solid rides. The Taos is way better on the gas tho. 🚙
how long would i be waiting to get the cross?
I prefer the HRV. I really think it looks better. The interior feels and looks better aswell. I find the infotainment better in that car too. The Toyota Cross is so cheap & frumpy in my mind.
Just grabbed the HRV and test drove the Corolla. This thing is not slow, literally drove it on the higheay on ECON it drives great!
Several Honda models have known issues of not being able to put out cabin heat in below freezing temps. The local Honda dealer even wires in an electric cabin heater right from new. Has this been addressed at all?
That's a non-factor with the 2.0 in the Hr-v. It was an issue with the 1.5T (which has never been available in either the 1st or 2nd gen Hr-v)
Would really like to see how the auto start/stop works on all cars.
I like the Honda but that grill. At least as a driver you don't have to look at it. There is no mistaking th Corolla Cross as a Toyota. I think they'll both do well.
Definitely go for the Corolla Cross. No more Honda not just the GDI engine which will arise the cabon pile up in the engine, the pricing, the fuel consumption, the features, and the reliability for the past many years starting from 2015 was a nightmare.
The 2.0 in the Hr-v is port injected, not direct.
My dealer just told me 12 month waiting period for 2023 Toyota Cross Hybrid AWD. The system is broken 😞
Given the multi year development cycles for cars, it does make you wonder if there is collusion or espionage such that the Honda "Civic Cross' comes out so soon after the Corolla Cross and is head to head. I give the edge to the Cross - dynamic force engine is more powerful and efficient, direct shift cvt, simple proven AWD, little lower cost. Both are good though, brand loyalty will be the difference for buyers. Yeah, could use more power and be quieter. The hybrid versions could be significant in that regard.
5:26 the Exhaust on the Corolla cross looks like it’s from the 80s
Honda a day late and a dollar short , as usual. Still would like to try a Cross Hybrid. I have a Rav4 Hybrid on order.
A couple of cheap and cheerful vehicles, by a couple of excellent and educated presenters.
Hi, I am in Qatar and here the story on pricing is somewhat different.. HRV EX, the top trim, price is 93k QR whereas Corolla cross is priced at 106k & 114k (both hybrid trim). So in this case what do you suggest? Which is do you think is more value to money?
Also I am not heavy user, going to have normal family kind of use and Qatar has the finest road. No hills, no forest and definitely no snow...lol.
I really appreciate if you can please reply. I am not that great with car knowledge, actually just started driving school so need some words of advice. Thank you in advance.
Get the HRV. It's amazing and engaging to drive plus comfortable driving in your highly developed country, pretty interior and exterior, cheaper than Corolla cross. Toyota is a great choice as well with loaded features as explained by these prodigious couple.
I wouldn't buy either of these unless it was a hybrid, this close to full electrification. I prefer the Hybrid version from Toyota Cross, because of their extreme experience with Hybrids. I would enjoy Honda's superior crisp handling. Toyota's history with Hybrid technology is stellar.
And this being a utility car, a base hybrid unit works for me.
Toyota would be my pick of these two.
By the way, what are the uniquely identifiable features that make a European Styled Car?🤔
a lot of ppl are.. cross shopping these 2 models
Corolla Cross hybrid please, in Cypress Green
Corolla cross hands down! Hybrid!!!
Perfect review team. That Toyota Matrix is hard to beat. :)
I'd big time cross shop with the Koreans
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the review!
Hello, Last Thursday I got my new Toyota corola cross I waited almost 3 months for it. But absolutely worth. Honda is marked up over 4000 dollars 🤨 Toyota no . So far loved it 😍
Awesome, congratulations, glad to hear you are enjoying your Corolla Cross so far.
The mark ups are from the dealership, not the manufacturer!
Civic cross vs Corolla cross
But I’m not for these 2 in this class. Rather prefer crosstrek, CX30, or Seltos.
Corolla Cross is noisy n interior is quite inadequate compared to others, although it is very surprisingly drive better than expected in snow.
The CRV’s interior is good, but lack of power, n not sure is it good enough in winter’s weather. It is overpriced in Canada.
HRV has great simple exterior styling, great interior, but the 2.0 was a mistake. It should have had the 1.5T or the 2.0 hybrid.
That K series 2.0 will last years it’s a proven engine
@@f181234 proven is the polite way to say old
top trim should have the 1.5t to justified the price
Just because HR-V doesn't have armrest and cup holder in the back, my choice is the Corolla Cross!
Also no air vent in the back.
Honda all the way, better driving dynamics and interior quality.
I rather wait until next year to get some missing features and hybrid and they should fix the noise. Cheers! ☕️☕️
I would take the Corolla Cross, or a Subaru Crosstrek,
I bet both companies are leaving some stuff off the table to get us to upgrade to the next bigger SUV. Toyota has a slight reliability edge to Honda too
The Toyota has no vents in the middle of the dash?
I don't find a single reason to buy the HRV over the Corolla Cross, especially if the price is factored in. I like everything better on the Cross, including the interior design, though the HRV seems to have better materials. And while neither is exactly a beauty queen, the exterior design of the Cross is much more appealing to me, especially the front end (whoever design the front end of the HRV needs to find another job, and pay royalties to the designer of the Ford Escape). Having said that, the upcoming Cross Hybrid will probably steal every other subcompact SUV's lunch; Toyota won't be able to keep any of them in their showrooms, provided they even get to the showrooms (they'll probably be pre-purchased for years in advance!)
The FWD Corolla Cross does not have independent rear suspension only the AWD models offer it.
I agree Honda is totally off with the pricing
Their son is going to have many great cars to drive.
Both are nice cars, I'm currently driving a 2015 Toyota Highlander.
What the hell is going on with Honda pricing?
I just built both these vehicles on their sites and the Honda would cost with taxes $5,000 more than the Toyota.
Just right there with the Toyota is number one in my books.
I limited my choice to Corolla Cross, HR-V and Rogue Sport. Guess, now it's Toyota vs Nissan )
I really think someone at Honda does not like armrests. My cousin bought an Odyssey and 2nd row seats are separated & no armrests-the doors are also awkward to have your arm on there..You end up just hugging yourself. Weird
What year because I have a new odyssey and they just pull down on both sides
@@slimecastle526 i thinknits 2019 or 2020..legit had no armrests...we had a good laugh but then hated it for longbdrives..He ordered & installed armrests..
As much as I love Honda, I actually find Corolla Cross much better value-for-money and offering more engine choices for most consumers. The optional hybrid Corolla Cross will make sure, there will be a lengthy waiting list, for years to come. Both base engines are unremarkable but enough for most buyers. However, HR-V definitely more spacious, handles sharper and more fun-to-drive thanks to its Civic architecture.
Why should you get on a waiting list for a Corolla Cross Hybrid when you can get on the waiting list for a RAV4 Hybrid?
@@rightlanehog3151 What if someone's garage can only fit a subcompact instead of compact SUV?
@@A3A4Tom If that is the case, that very, very unfortunate person will end up overpaying for a demonstrably inferior vehicle which, to add insult to injury, burns more fuel. 😁

Adorable, he just watched us film.
I don't need rear AC vents I don't need rear arm rest I don't need power rear door that's why we have shopping cart I just don't need power lift rear door I'm not trying to say that I'm a HONDA guy I'm just driving my 2023 Honda HR-V EXL by my self Which is I like it a lot
I might be a lone voice but leather seats and power rear lift gate are features I would never want.
Why?
Why were the safety features not mentioned? I’m considering these 2 vehicles and their safety features are important to me. What gives??
In a couple of years I will look at a Corolla cross hybrid.
Mazda CX 30 all day over either of these. No contest.
I like HRV
Corolla Cross-much nicer and handling. The better buy.
Love hrv2023 cheaper than toyota plenty of power. Got it below msrp
I, too, love Honda. However, I don't think the HRV even compares to the Corolla Cross.
Style, driving Honda wins.
