Three reasons to buy a 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross instead of a 2022 Honda HR-V

The 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross is arriving on the market in the next few months, ready to take on all competitors. It will certainly have to deal with established models in its segment like the 2022 Honda HR-V, one of the most popular small SUV offered in Canada today. Toyota new this when they were designing the all-new Corolla Cross, and when you look at the features that the new Toyota SUV offers, you can tell the Toyota did it's homework.


Not only is the 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross one of the most spacious options in the segment, it is also the most powerful and one of the most efficient. There are a lot of reasons to buy a 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross, and here are three specific reasons why you might want to consider it over the Honda HR-V.


It is more powerful


The first reason is that the 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross will have quite a bit more performance under the hood.  As a matter of fact, the 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross is the most powerful small SUV you can buy thanks to a standard 2 L 4 cylinder engine that delivers 169 horsepower. That's 22 extra horses under the hood compared to the Honda HR-V which means that you will enjoy quicker accelerations and more confident passing.


We don't necessarily buy a small SUV for its performance, but if you can get all of the Interior space you are looking for with better accelerations and quicker passing, why not take advantage of it?


It is more efficient


One reason might be because you don't want the compromised fuel consumption. Well, with the 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross, that is not a problem. In fact, the Corolla Cross is even more efficient than the Honda HR-V despite having more power. It has an average fuel consumption rating of 7.8 L per 100 km with all-wheel drive, while the Honda HR-V has the same fuel consumption rating but with front-wheel drive. The all-wheel drive model in the HR-V family averages 8.2 L per 100 km, while the front-wheel drive Corolla Cross average is 7.3 L per 100 km.


It delivers better value


Not only will you spend less on fuel in the 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross, but you will also spend less overall. The starting price of the Corolla Cross is roughly $3,000 less than the 2022 Honda HR-V, and even if you add all-wheel drive, you are still paying less than the base front-wheel drive Honda HR-V.
