Which Toyota Corolla Cross years should you avoid?

No Toyota Corolla Cross model year stands out from the others in NHTSA owner complaints. The typical Toyota Corolla Cross year has 44 complaints on file. The busiest year is the 2023 (174).

What are the best Toyota Corolla Cross years?

The Toyota Corolla Cross year with the fewest complaints on file is the 2022 (46). Model years after 2023 are left out: they have not been on the road long enough to compare.

NHTSA does not publish sales figures, so these are complaint counts, not a rate per car on the road. A year that sold more cars collects more complaints, and older years have had longer to collect them.
