2026 Honda HR-V vs. Toyota Corolla Cross

There’s a healthy selection of good subcompact SUVs on the market right now. One of the most popular is the 2026 Honda HR-V, but some shoppers may be comparison-shopping the Toyota Corolla Cross. If you’re on the fence, Casey Honda compares these two models in three crucial areas so you can make an informed choice.

Passenger Space

The 2026 Honda HR-V has a lot more space inside than it may look from the outside. Both rows are roomy, and five people can fit nicely. Even three adults won’t feel squished in the back. While the Toyota Corolla Cross technically seats five, the rear row’s middle position is decidedly cramped.

Cargo Room

Along with ample space for passengers, the 2026 Honda HR-V will let you travel with a lot of cargo. It offers 24.4 cubic feet of room behind the back row and 55.1 cubic feet when it is folded. While the 24 cubic feet behind the rear row of the Toyota Corolla Cross is comparable, it can only manage 46.9 cubic feet when it is down.

Technology Features

The 2026 Honda HR-V is well-equipped with technology, as wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, Qi® wireless device charging, remote keyless entry, and push-button start are all standard. Plus, the infotainment system is easy to use and operates with a nine-inch touchscreen. The Toyota Corolla Cross has similar features, but its touchscreen is a smaller eight inches. Critics have also noted that it’s not the most user-friendly system.
