The subcompact SUV segment really took off around 2015. The Honda HR-V was one of the first to furnish this "new" category.
Over the past couple of years, many other automakers have followed suit and spawned new models, hoping in turn to capitalize on the popularity of this vehicle format.
That's what Toyota has done with the Corolla Cross. The execution is good. It is signed Toyota and we know that this brand knows how to do things right. However, when it comes to innovation, it leaves something to be desired. So much so that an aging model like the HR-V is always more interesting.
The following points confirm this
A proven model
With the Corolla Cross, we should find a reliable model. Note the use of the conditional tense here. In fact, you've probably heard this argument before: it's always risky to opt for a model that's in its first year on the market.
So, even if it has the Toyota logo, caution is advised. With the HR-V, you get a well-tested SUV. Peace of mind is at Honda.
Interior design
The Toyota Corolla Cross is longer than the Honda HR-V. It offers a little more cargo space, but in proportion to the size of the vehicle, it's the same. What the Toyota model doesn't offer, however, is a layout that maximizes space. With the HR-V, Magic Seat technology allows the rear seat cushions to be tilted towards the front seat back, freeing up extra space to carry larger items.
It never shows up in the statistics, but in use, it's much more practical.
Handling and driving pleasure
Toyota's efficiency is there, but the fun behind the wheel is often diluted. This is not the case with the HR-V, which is very dynamic. A test drive will convince you of this, of course.
And because it's more compact, it's easier to maneuver in tight spots. If you have to drive on narrow roads or in heavy traffic often, you will be more comfortable behind the wheel of a Honda HR-V.
