Introduction

Last year brought the most significant improvements; In addition to the looks and technology upgrades that all 2023 Corollas enjoyed, the hybrid also added the sporty SE and luxury XLE variants. The Corolla Cross Hybrid arrives at 2024 without changes.
Styles and options
The 2024 Corolla Cross Hybrid comes in four models: the LE, SE, Nightshade and XLE.
Power train
The 2024 Corolla Cross Hybrid features a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine, two electric motors and a lithium-ion battery pack that provide a combined output of 138 horsepower.
This power is enough to make the Corolla Cross Hybrid feel capable around town, but it’s lackluster at higher speeds and can struggle to accelerate in any kind of hurry.
The transition between gasoline and electric power is smooth. A continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) is standard and mostly inconspicuous, but it can be noisy at high speeds.
Interior style 
The Corolla has a cramped cabin, but it offers an impressive number of standard features, and the overall ambiance is pleasant. It’s not luxurious, but it’s comfortable and on par for a reasonable price.
It has a 13.1 cubic foot trunk, which is not impressive for a hybrid car. While the rear seats fold down to create more space, the seats do not fold completely flat, impeding space.
This Toyota has a modern and easy-to-use infotainment system. The touchscreen has clear graphics, responds quickly, and the menus are logically arranged. It’s very easy to use while driving, and the volume button and row of physical buttons reinforce its ease of use.
As standard it comes with an 8-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a six-speaker stereo, satellite radio, a Wi-Fi hotspot, Bluetooth, four USB ports and voice command. In addition, it has a JBL premium audio system and wireless device charging.
It comes with additional standard equipment: analog gauges with a 4.2-inch driver information screen, remote keyless entry and automatic climate control.
Other available items include a 7-inch digital instrument cluster, proximity keyless entry, push-button start and a sunroof.
Security
Standard driver assistance features include: Rear view camera, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, pedestrian and cyclist detection, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, traffic sign recognition, adaptive cruise control and automatic high beams.
Available driver assistance features include blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert.
On the highway
The 2024 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid is a practical car that isn’t very engaging to drive. This Corolla’s powertrain is unimpressive, especially at high speeds, but it returns good fuel economy estimates.
The overall handling is more tuned for relaxed driving than aggressive cornering, making it easy to drive.
This Toyota feels at home around town, but once you hit the highway the powertrain starts to feel lackluster, so passing will require a bit of attention and planning.
The Corolla Cross provides seamless shifts between gasoline and electric power, and the CVT works well, but can cause the powertrain to hum loudly at high speeds.
Conclusion
The 2024 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid isn’t exactly impressive, but it’s a great value car with a long list of standard features and good fuel economy.
Space in the rear seats is a bit limited, but the Corolla Cross Hybrid effectively fulfills its mission as practical transportation. It also has a smooth ride that will keep passengers comfortable thanks to a suspension that absorbs pavement imperfections. The steering also has a good touch.
