2024 Corolla Cross review

I test drove a 2024 Corolla Cross XLE. The verdict is to not buy one. Here is why.

• The interior is the almost same as my 2020 corolla sedan.
• The cabin is not much roomier than corolla sedan.
  
• It has auto start-stop.
• The infotainment screen still cannot display CJK chars correctly.
• Very slow acceleration.
• The engine requires hard to find 0w8 oil.
• Much more body roll when cornering than corolla sedan.
• Suspension is too soft.

The corolla cross did have some nice things,

• JBL sound system.
• improved ADAS (TSS 3.0).
• Wireless carplay.
• AWD
  

But it is more expensive ($4000) than a similarly equipped corolla sedan.
