In terms of starting price, the new 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross is an affordable SUV. It starts at $23,610 MSRP, which is for the L trim. However, the most capable model in the lineup is the new Hybrid XSE trim. It has a starting cost of $31,065 MSRP. 

What do you get with the Corolla Cross Hybrid XSE trim? For the higher price, what does it offer? For one, not only does the Hybrid XSE get the highest fuel economy, but it also delivers the best performance in the model lineup. 

Its hybrid powertrain combines three electric motors with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. It gets a gas-sipping estimated fuel economy of up to 37 combined mpg — versus 32 combined mpg for the standard model. Also, the hybrid variant of the Corolla Cross has the quickest acceleration, with a 0-60 mph time of 8.0 seconds, compared to 9.2 seconds for the fully gas-powered version. 

Furthermore, the Hybrid XSE is the most upscale trim and offers the most premium features of any Corolla Cross model. This includes a moonroof, a dual-zone automatic climate control system, heated front seats, a smartphone wireless charger, ambient lighting, a rear folding armrest, a 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, black roof rails, and sport alloy wheels with a machined finish. Also, all XSE Hybrid models come standard with a traction-enhancing all-wheel drive system.
