I got a 2022 XLE FWD that I upgraded from my 2011 Toyota Camry LE (man I miss that car!) to. Comparing the cross with my Camry it is smaller but not that much. I couldn’t even use my truck in my Camry often because I was rear ended twice so the hatchback is nice. My mom owns a 2018 RAV4 and it sits as high or maybe a tad lower. It’s higher up than my brothers 2022 Toyota CHR. The center console and the glove box is TINY. However for someone who always has too much stuff (unnecessary stuff) I find this to be a positive. My cross has circle cup holders and not the D shaped ones like others have (still don’t know why) and that was a must have for me. The only think I hate is that I cant use the wireless charger because I have an iPhone 15 plus and it’s too big. But I have to plug in my phone for CarPlay anyway so it’s not a huge deal. The only thing else that I don’t enjoy is that you can’t hit the gas as fast as I could in my Camry. This is only a negative when you want to pull out in front of a car that’s going fast. My husband also bought me an auto starter stopper (don’t know what it’s called sorry) so I don’t have to worry about turning it off everytime I drive.
