![]() But what I'm absolutely in love with are these USB ports right in front. So it's either going on the seat or on the floor. Unfortunately, ladies, there's nowhere to really put your purse. That said, Honda makes up for it with the side pockets in both the back and front. As far as storage up here in the front goes, you've got this center console that's decent, but not overly huge. So being short, it always is a plus when someone is considerate of the fact that we like to be close to the wheel. I'm able to move the wheel and the seat to fit my height, which I'm 5'4". It feels like I'm sitting on a rock, but what I do appreciate is the adjustability of this seat. Sitting in this driver's seat, listen, I cannot lie to you. ![]() But while it is an upgrade, for HR-V's it's still a bit OneNote for me, personally. It gives it a hint, all right maybe that's too generous, maybe a splash of luxury. I think it's really the stitching that does it. Getting into this car, I immediately noticed the elevated interior from previous versions. It fits, and I still hate freaking doing it. But what can it hold? That question got me thinking, what's something that we likely have all had to move, but hate doing it? An office chair. That said, these seats are actually really easy to fold down. Cue the sad tune because the HR-V's famous old special storage trick, the magic seat that allowed you to flip up the rear seats to store tall items on the floor, well, it's now gone. The rear seats are able to fold completely flat for larger items, that more than doubles the space you have. The new HR-V's cargo area is similar to the previous models with just over 24 cubic feet of storage space. Today, I'm starting where it counts for this car, right here. Usually, for these videos, I'd start in the front and work my way to the back. Now, seven model years later, this is an all-new 2023 HR-V that's grown in almost every way. It debuted in 2016 and was initially based on the Honda Fit Hatchback, but that car is no longer in production. Like the chicken caesar wrap, the HR-V has been around for years. Both the Honda HR-V and Toyota Corolla Cross fit into the same category crossover SUVs, which is kind of, like, instead of getting the hamburger or salad for lunch, you get, let's say, a chicken caesar wrap. And if you want to sell your car, go to /sellmycar to get a cash offer today. These are two affordable SUVs, both under $30,000, but which will give you the biggest bang for your buck? But first, before you go any further, go ahead and hit Like and Subscribe so you can see all the rest of our videos. See what I did there? I'm a poet, don't even know it. And in this video, we're going to show you how this Corolla Cross matches up with the real OG crossover, the HR-V. Seriously, though, today we're introducing you to the brand new Toyota Corolla Cross, another pint-sized SUV. ![]() It's like the CR-V, but just smaller and more affordable. LAUREN MCCAY: Are you the type of person that's looking for something reliable to get you from point A to B, but also want some utility to go with that? Well, the Honda HR-V has been that go-to car for many young adults and families for years now. But its uninspiring driving dynamics and cramped rear seats keep it running in the middle of the pack in the competitive subcompact SUV class led by the Volkswagen Taos, Chevrolet Trailblazer and Mazda CX-30. ![]() Still, the Corolla Cross is not without appeal, offering a comfortable ride and practicality. Not surprisingly, the larger Corolla Cross is even slower, and an all-wheel-drive model required 9.6 seconds to accelerate to 60 mph in Edmunds' testing. The Corolla Cross uses the same 169-horsepower four-cylinder engine as the Corolla, which is no rocket. ![]() Last year brought some notable additions including a new infotainment system and updated advanced safety features, and as a result, we don't expect any notable changes for 2024. As the name suggests, it's based off the Corolla sedan and uses the same 169-horsepower four-cylinder engine, and as an SUV, it offers more ground clearance and the option of all-wheel drive. The Corolla Cross is Toyota's smallest SUV, replacing the CH-R that was discontinued after the 2022 model year. ![]()
