The all-new HR-V takes on the Corolla Cross—so, which one of these small SUVs takes the crown?
, which is why it's being described as a tweener in the segment. It's also available with all-wheel drive, which isn't offered on the smaller Toyota.
Slowing these two down proved to be more impressive than speeding them up, with the Corolla Cross taking 120 feet to stop and the HR-V taking 125 feet. In general, overall brake feel and stopping power inspired confidence from both vehicles.Loping along around town is where the Corolla Cross and HR-V do their best work, with each delivering a composed, easy-going ride. When carrying speed into turns, we felt some body roll, though the motions were better controlled in the HR-V.
But the HR-V's features-per-dollar value stands out more as you delve deeper into each car's specifications. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are wireless in the Honda but wired in the Toyota. The HR-V is also equipped with a 9.0-inch infotainment touchscreen that's an inch bigger than the unit in the Corolla Cross, and it gets leather-trimmed seats as opposed to the Toyota's faux leather trim. The Toyota does come with bigger wheels—18s versus the Honda's 17-inch rims.
By comparison, several of our panelists felt the Corolla Cross was more basic than the HR-V, pointing to the hollow-sounding doors, a cheap-feeling turn signal stalk, pervasiveness of hard plastics, and wind noise from the side mirrors. Like the HR-V, the Corolla Cross comes with a smaller central screen that isn't integrated all that well in the dash, but is positioned higher and more along the driver's line of sight.
