What is the Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid worth?

After the introduction of the subcompact Toyota Corolla Cross SUV, I was wondering when Toyota would release a hybrid version of the SUV. Well, it’s finally time for Toyota to launch the 2023 Corolla Cross Hybrid. The addition of the Corolla Cross’ electrified powertrain certainly raises the question of which Corolla to buy in Toyota’s lineup, including comparisons to the Corolla sedan. We believe the comparison is well established and will likely be determined by the price of the SUV.

Toyota The Corolla Cross Hybrid has been confirmed to be available in three trims: S, SE and XSE. Pricing for the Corolla Cross Hybrid S starts at $29,305 (including destination), while the top-tier XSE starts at $32,400. All things considered, the Corolla Cross Hybrid’s starting price isn’t bad for a standard all-wheel-drive electric subcompact SUV. Also, comparing the Corolla Cross Hybrid with the regular Corolla Cross doesn’t mean that the price jumps significantly.
