May not make much difference, but I think model level should be up there with the 3 main criteria. Not a huge difference in weight, but every little bit might make a difference.
May not make much difference, but I think model level should be up there with the 3 main criteria. Not a huge difference in weight, but every little bit might make a difference.What MPG are you getting in your Cross?
Please also specify the following:
1. FWD / AWD
2. Current mileage
3. Your % of city to highway driving
*BONUS: Feel free to include other factors you think might possibly be influencing your individual MPG, such as driving up a lot of hills, whether you usually drive alone or with others in your car, whether you’re actively trying to get the best MPG possible (via Eco-mode) or not really, trim level, location for weather purposes, etc.
I’ve seen a few discussions about MPG on here but not a central thread where everyone just reported their MPG.
Toyota claims the FWD gets 31/33 and the AWD gets 29/32 (City/Highway).
i will comment after I’ve had my new XLE FWD Cross for a couple weeks.

Here is my Mileage. About 1,400 miles on the odometer.I agree. Edited.
Thanks for the thorough response! I‘d be thrilled if I can achieve the MPG you’re getting. Well done!Here is my Mileage. About 1,400 miles on the odometer.
1. FWD / AWD
FWD
2. Your Trim (L, LE, XLE)
XLE.
3. Your % of City to Highway driving
90% "City." Actually small town rural driving on 2 lane roads.
10% highway. Only one trip on a highway. 36 MPG.
4. Current Mileage
32-35 MPG. Calculated by me not the vehicle; I keep a record of all MPGs.
Other Factors. I drive mostly alone, sometimes with one passenger. I drive with a light foot trying to stay in ECO mode. Mostly flat roads (Florida). Use A/C about 70% of the time (it's always hot here in summer and fall.)![]()
I’ve had my cross for 2 weeks now and I’m averaging around 30 mpg in the city.What MPG are you getting in your Cross? Comment Below

the key I have found to getting the best MPG is easy on the throttle, you can drive fast, but don't accelerate hard. hwy at 65-70 with easy throttle control is very consistently 40+ here in MB.Joe and i64, thats amazing! Really glad to hear people getting such high MPG, well above Toyota’s own estimate. For those who do their own MPG calculation, how close / accurate would you say that is compared to the Cross’ onboard MPG computer?

I assume you're not really trying to maximize efficiency at those speeds? That's the story of America as a whole.Here are a couple of constant-speed (cruise control) highway MPGs on a recent trip:
56 miles at 76mph: 33.56 mpg
45 miles at 81mph: 26.08 mpg
6 to 8mph headwind for both.
There were calculated with a tank filling at the beginning, then another fill-up at the end of the interval to determine the amount of fuel used in between. There is a slight margin of error using this method due to the variability of gas pump auto-cutoff mechanisms, but it shouldn't be significant.
