For Subcompact SUVs the Cross received a rating of 96 out of 100 in the January, 2023 issue of Consumer Reports magazine. It even outscored the highly regarded Subaru Crosstrek, which garnered second place with a score of 80. In all size categories the Cross still got the highest score.

Strangely, in the May '22 report on the Cross CR gave a mediocre review. I posted this back then; I guess they changed their tune since then. My post:
"Just read the review of the Cross in CR's May 22 issue. Overall score 68. No mention of which trim was tested - maybe the LE as price tested was US $28,329. Here are their takeaways:
HIGHS: Fuel economy, braking, cabin access, easy to use controls, good visibility, good space for driver, good avoidance maneuvering
LOWS: Noisy, feels underpowered, lacks agility, mediocre fit and finish, jerky "shifts" from the CVT, clumsy handling, rear seat short on leg support."
YMMV
