Finally got the new daily! I am super stoked with this car, it fits what I need it to do.
Going to install a dashcam - has anyone done this? Looking to wire it to the interior fusebox via fuse tap. Just wondering how hard is it to run wiring for both front and rear cameras.
Good day Corolla Cross community! First time hybrid owner here. I've had my Corolla Cross G HEV for around 3 months now. I'm very very happy with the fuel consumption! I'm finding though that I'm more fuel efficient when I'm on Normal mode compared to Eco mode. Is that a thing or am I just imagining it? Haha
Added context: living in a condo on a hillside. First drive out usually is up 2 levels from an underground carpark and then 1 km+ up a relatively steep hill, and then usually stand still traffic at the top. I notice the gas engine kicking in to charge the battery more often when I'm on Eco mode.
Hoping to learn more from you guys! Thanks!
I got a quote of 38k OTD for Corolla cross XSE in Washington. Is this a good deal?
I just bought this Corolla Cross a week ago. This is what the tire pressure looks like after the dealer told me it’s new tires. (I feel like he lied to make the sale.) Should I try to deflate the 47 psi at the gas station or just take it to a tire place who can adjust all of them for free?

hi! my newborn isn’t so new anymore, nearly a year. 🥹 her height and weight will have us moving out of the current capsule toward the end of this year.
it is such a squeeze in the passenger seat atm.
we have the Nuna PIPA Aire Infant Car Seat + Pipa Series Base.
safety is obviously the first concern, i was curious if anyone could suggest the next stage seat that fits will in the CC.
will every car seat be a squeeze?

I'm of the opinion that the car will be fine if parked for a month, and the 12v battery will most likely be okay. But I'm curious: Would remote starting the car twice (you can only remote start it for 2x 10 min blocks before you have to manually start it) during that month interval help at all?
I am sure you guys must have experienced the mess that happens at the bottom of the doors. I understand it’s a poor design but has anyone figured out a way to solve that, it almost feels like mud flaps don’t work at all. The whole door (bottom part) gets loaded with mud and snow (winters) and a car wash wouldn’t do anything to that either.
I didn’t really noticed it much during winters but yesterday after a long drive during rain/mud and gravel, i was extremely concerned.
I was able to wash and scrub it but there would be a work around, no?
I am so close to committing to buying a CC (hybrid or not) but see so much back n forth about them online. I can’t tell if those who are talking bad about them are doing it moreso only for superficial reasons.
I truly just want a reliable, modern car that will be easy to maintain for many years with daily commutes or long distance trips. Nothing flashy, but still feels comfortably “me.”
What are the worst things about CC? Besides being a little small for storage and slow on acceleration? Because I can over look that- I have no kids and am so used to slow acceleration in my current Kia Soul.
This is such a difficult and huge decision! I feel overwhelmed by options but think that Toyota is the best long term choice. Nervous to choose the CC and have buyers remorse later for the money spent on a subpar option.
Do CC handle uphill inclines well? I won’t be able to know from a short test drive. Would Subaru give a comparable reliability for many years?
Bought a rav4 multi box storage from Toyota of Japan. Required alot of cutting to fit. Probably not the best fitment, cut wayyy too much in some spots, but atleast it works.
Hi
I have been on the market for a corolla cross hybrid in GTA, Canada.
But the prices and the wait times are insane, 8-12 months.
CPO is selling for more than MSRP of new car.
I really wish Toyota amp up the production.
TIA for reading.
For anyone that needs this info! I had no red or black colors to let me know, and could not see any positive or negative demarcation. I needed it to jump a car and the internet / AI gave me different information every single time I looked it up. Also, my manual is through the Toyota App (I think) and I couldn’t get logged in. I hate the 2020s. I’m 34 (a millennial who knows how to problem solve and read) and I felt like a very helpless Gen Z kid 🙄
hi friends, proud owner of a cross le gas.... should i get a hybrid. car is only a year old bought it brand spanking new. love her but wish she was slightly more powerful...should i trade her in? barely got 6 k miles on it
First sunset drive with my 2026 XSE. Still trying to get more photos of the color option out there for those who are looking. Finally got around to naming this beauty too. Decided on Jamie to remind me of Jamie Palamino from Just Friends 🤣 “Jamie Palamino you’re my best friend!”
Hey Reddit! I recently bought a 2026 Corolla Cross Hybrid and I’m still trying to understand how to actually drive it like a hybrid 😂
I understand the basic idea of how hybrids work, but I’m confused about how that translates into everyday driving.
My dashboard is constantly showing things like CHARGE → ECO → POWER, MPG, EV, and Eco Score, and sometimes I feel like I’m overthinking all of it.
A few questions:
Does the battery charge when I brake? How exactly does that work?
How should I use the CHARGE/ECO/POWER gauge to get better MPG?
Why do I sometimes get a low Eco Score and then suddenly get a really good score, even though I feel like I’m driving the same way?
What are the best driving habits for getting the most MPG?
And the EV button… when should I actually use it? I understand it forces the car to drive on electric for a short time, but how do I know when the car is ready for that?
Basically, I need someone to explain “how to drive a hybrid” like I’m 5 😂
I’m not looking for anything super technical. I just want to understand what I should actually DO while driving.
If you have a good YouTube video that explains the Corolla Cross Hybrid in really simple terms, please share it! 🙏
Hello i have Toyota corolla cross hybrid 2026. One pair of my earbuds fell under the seat through the hole of this seat belt. We looked at it with a flashlight but we couldn't see it and we couldn’t get it with our hands but i can still hear the music from under the seat. We can't remove the seat either, we are afraid that the engine and cables will be damaged, do you know any solutions ? How can we get it ?
I am looking for one for my 2026 model with wireless charging all the ones I’ve seen say it doesn’t work with that idk if anyone can recommend a good one.
I have a mile+ dirt road that gets pretty potholes.
Long term would the repair costs on a CC make up the repair costs and lack of fuel efficiency be made up for with the Rav4?
Looking at a hybrid use
Thanks
Am I worried about my tires being over filled? When I left the dealership, they were all 37-38 PSI. That's too high according to the door sticker. EDIT to add: it's now morning and I checked again. All tires are 33-34 PSI. I will monitor it for a few days. Thank you for all of the advice.
