from San Francisco. It's theCUBE, covering PagerDuty Summit 2019. Brought to you by PagerDuty. Hey, welcome back, everybody. Jeff Frick here with theCUBE. We are downtown San Francisco at the historic Western St. Francis at PagerDuty Summit. It's the fourth year of PagerDuty Summit, third year for theCUBE being here. I think they've about outgrown the venue. So we look forward to seeing where we go next year, but we're excited to have somebody who's had a very busy day. A lot of product announcements leading a lot of this effort. And he's Jonathan Rendee, this SVP of product for PagerDuty Jonathan. Great to see you. Thanks for having me. So congratulations, a lot of product announcements today. This is our biggest unveiling of the year. So I don't want you to pick your favorite baby, but what are some of the highlights that got us here today? Yeah, so a couple of big things today and tomorrow, not just today. First, we're really focused on applying, it is the buzzword of the new millennium, machine learning, but we're applying it across our entire portfolio. And we're doing it in a good way, not in a creepy way. We're doing it in a good way to help organizations make sense of all the data they're getting. Tell them what's happening and more importantly, what they can do to get better. And so that's something that we call our intelligent dashboards as a part of our analytics product. So that's one big one. Right, right. And as you probably know, being here, PagerDuty is all about helping teams be more effective in the moments that matter. And one of the other big announcements we have is intelligent triage. And so what is that? We see what, there's a lot of great companies here, partners that we're working with. And whenever they're working major issues within their companies, where seconds matter, or even microseconds, they can lose millions of dollars, that work in real time, they'll find out that there's multiple teams working on the same problem, only for one team to find out that somebody's undoing some of the things that they're doing. So we focused in a huge way on building a context, a visibility, so that the teams can see what other issues are related. That's what we call intelligent triage. So nobody needs to do double work. Right, it's funny on the AI, right, machine learning, because they are the hot, hot, hot buzzwords. But what I don't think are the hot buzzwords, which is where all the excitement is happening, is it's the applied AI. It's not AI for AI's sake, or we're a great AI company with an AI widget that we want to sell you. It's really leveraging AI within your core application space, your core domain expertise, to make your apps do better things. And that's really what you guys have embraced. Absolutely, we have to be so empathetic to our users. Our users carry an unbelievable burden. They are on the front lines when things go down. They have minutes, seconds to make right decisions, and there's a lot of responsibility with that. So we're using AI in an applied way to help them make sense of being overloaded with information, to focus them in on the things that can make the biggest positive impact. So it is applied AI in its purest form. And the other part I found interesting is really an acknowledgement that it's not just the people that have to fix the problem that need to know about the problem. That there's a much larger kind of ecosystem. But the ecosystem around that problem, whether it's sales reps, executives, because there's a whole bunch of people that should know, need to know, have value to know beyond just the really smart person that I've now put on fixing the problem. You're bringing up a great point, which is a lot of people know pager duty because of how we help technical teams, developers, and ops people fix these incidents when they happen, when a site goes down or when something in a search isn't working correctly. But getting work done, we're taking that in its broadest context. It's beyond the technical responders. First, we have to service them. They're our core audience and they're why we're here today. But that unit of work, getting work done, goes beyond them as you're saying. It goes to what we call business responders who I could be working in a customer service team. And while that incident is happening, I need that information so that I can ready my communication in case somebody calls up the support desk and opens up a ticket. I need to know what to tell them. When it's going to be fixed and how we're addressing their problem. Or I could be the CFO, a stakeholder and just want to know what's the real revenue impact of this outage at this time. So whether I'm taking action or I just need to know, these are people outside of the sphere of the technical team and they're business responders and stakeholders and we're automating the flow of information to all of them so that they don't interrupt the poor responder team so they can focus on their work. Right, yeah. Another concept that was kind of clarified today is all of your guys' partnerships. You know, you've listed on your integration page on the website, it's Clearwell, Datadog, Salesforce, Zendes, Sumo, AWS, ServiceNow, Atlassian, IBM Bluemix, I mean it's a, I can't go through the whole list, it's a huge list. But I think confusion in the market or maybe clarification is helpful. Is you know, kind of where do those systems play versus your system when everyone wants to be the system of record, right? Everybody wants to be the database that has all the information. And yet you've figured out a way to take your capabilities and augment all these other platforms and really puts you in a nice play across a really wide range of problem sets. Yeah, it's so core to who we are. We like to think of our PagerDuty platform. I always refer to it as it's a central nervous system. And what does that really mean? We always say it's a central nervous system and PagerDuty is about people. So all of those vendors, all of those companies, they're all valued partners. Many of them are customers of PagerDuty as well. They use us to keep their services up on the monitoring world. But what PagerDuty is always focused on is ensuring that people-to-people collaboration to get real work done based on the information coming from those folks. So a lot of those vendors out there, they place such an invaluable part of the ecosystem. They let us know. They provide all the telemetry and the information and the data. We make sense of it and then engage people to finish that work. So in a way, that central nervous system is taking all these impulses, just like a real central nervous system and we're engaging the right people to help them effectively get the right work done. And we couldn't do it without them. So the famous 350 plus, we couldn't do what we do without them and they're all here today. You did think I was going to read the whole 350 help of it. That would be along with. Well, and we had Zendesk on and I know that was part of the new customer service announcement and getting kind of your value kind of closer to the actual customer transaction. It's always in support of the customer transaction if the website's down and transaction can't close. But this actually is taking it to the next level to have a direct contact to the person who's actually engaged with the client to give them more insight as to what's going on as being resolved and these types of things. With a two way communication pattern. Yeah, it's something I'm personally really excited about. We're a customer of Zendesk as well. So we use Zendesk and they use PagerDuty. So we get a lot of feedback on what's working, what's not working, which informed us in what we were doing. But there's two big problems in the industry that I've seen over two plus decades, which is customer service and support teams. They're dealing also on the front lines. Having them communicate and get information from development teams isn't always easy. And so both of us are really interested in kind of breaking down the walls between those organizations, but doing so in a way that's not interrupting those teams when they're doing their work that they have to do. So one, that's what we want to do accomplish. How can we share information seamlessly, automatically? So both teams are in sync, but they're not pestering each other. And then two, that work that's being done on the development side when something does go wrong in a DevOps world, now the customer support agents, the service agents, they can get ahead of those cases that are being opened up so they're not in the dark. They're not being flooded by tons of cases being opened up and they don't know what to say. They can ready their communications and push it out because they're in sync with the development. And they get the data. So it's really interesting. You think PagerDuty and notifications were surrounded by all these dashboards and computer stuff, but you made a really interesting comment. It's all about the people. And you guys commissioned a study called, I'm going to read it, unplanned work, the human impact of an always on world and really going after unplanned work. Now it's funny because everyone always talks about unplanned maintenance and unscheduled maintenance and the impacts on aircraft and the impacts on power generation and aircraft. This is the first time I've ever heard anyone couch it as unplanned, which is this completely disruptive force on people and their lives, not to mention their service workers. And according to the study, two thirds of them are pissed off and not too happy the way things are going at work anyway. What kind of was the zenith of that? And that's a really great way to reframe this problem into something much more human. The genesis of this all came from the concept that as you'll read a lot, we say we're always on. Let's keep it that way. Let's help everyone keep it that way. It's a mantra with pager duty. And it comes from, again, when I say genesis, it comes from even within our platform, we don't have maintenance windows. We are on 24 seven, 360 days a year. We have to be up when other services aren't. And because of that, whenever we work with organizations or vendors that we pay for, and they say we have a maintenance window, we're like a maintenance window, my partner in crime who runs engineering, Tim Arman for, he always says maintenance windows are for cars, not SaaS software. Like there are no maintenance windows. And what that means as a first step is if that's the case, there's no maintenance windows, you're always on, then you have to answer this question of like, how much time are you really spending in unplanned work, interruptions? And so we really started taking that to heart. We really started trying to figure out what is the percentage? Everybody's trying to innovate more, that's planned work. Is it 10%? Is it 20%? Is it 50%? The best organizations we see are 20 to 25% is unplanned work. 20 to 25% for the best organizations. Yeah, so it means the not so best organizations are very different. And so we feel that we uniquely can help organizations get way better at cutting down that time so that they can innovate more. They're not firefighting, they're actually innovating and growing their businesses. That's a big part of how we help people in these organizations do their job better. God, that's before you get into issues around contact switching and pressure and disruption. We found some amazing statistics. In a prior life, I ran engineering and it was at a SaaS company. And what I found was whenever customers or whenever my top engineers would be put on call, we didn't have Page of Duty at the time. And they would be on call and interrupted on consecutive nights in the middle of the night. The first I would typically hear about when somebody was burned out is when I would see a resignation letter on my desk. Or somebody we know after two or three or four successive interruptions in someone's personal life that goes on where they feel they're not being productive. One, they aren't productive at work either. Two, they're a huge retention risk. So we have that kind of data. We can look at it and we can help management and organizations help them and their teams take better care of their teams so that they're being more humane. Humane ops, not human ops, humane ops. And how you deal with those most expensive, precious resources in your company, which are your people, is really important. They walk out the door every night, so you got to take care of them so they come back the next day. It is, it is. All right, Jonathan, last question as we, we're not quite done with Summit yet. But as we come to the close of Summit tomorrow, really busy year, the IPO, you guys have done amazing things. But as you kind of flip the calendar and look forward, what are some of your, you know, kind of priorities as we move forward? Yeah, so it's been a crazy year, a lot of change. And I think a couple of things going forward. One, we're big partners with Amazon and AWS. So we're attending re-invent. That's a big event for the company. But also at this event, as I mentioned before, it's probably our biggest unveiling of new innovations and products for our entire 12,000 plus customers. So for us, it may seem like it's an end. It's really just the beginning because all of these products, intelligent triage, business response, intelligent dashboards, these products that are apart, these capabilities that are a part of our analytics and our events intelligence on the PagerDuty platform. We have to keep evolving this. We have to keep kind of moving forward because the world is always on and we've got to keep it that way. Well, Andre just had a great line in his keynote about being scared as the generator of wisdom. But oh, here it is right here. Fear is the beginning of wisdom. So not necessarily fear, but fear of getting caught and keep moving, keep ahead of the pack. That's right. Well, John, thanks for taking a few minutes and congratulations. I'm sure it was tough getting all those new babies out this week, but what a great job. Thank you so much. All right. It's a pleasure. Thanks, John, that I'm Jeff. You're watching theCUBE. We're at PagerDuty Summit in San Francisco. Thanks for watching. We'll see you next time.

I thought it would be a good idea if we tried out for the volleyball team. I think he's gonna make it. We're gonna put you through a series of tests. Passing, setting, hitting, and serving. Now you have a little bit of volleyball experience, right? No, none. You play with me a little bit. None. Okay. Can you tell the camera that again? None. Okay, are you ready for this test? All right.  Five? Five. Is it a mile? No.  Not bad. Okay. So with these lines, sir, we didn't even start it yet. It's a lot of running. You ready? And he didn't shag the ball long time. I'll close up the video. Okay. Well, the first thing you wanna do is when you have to breathe is you wanna stand up over here. This was just a really funny video for my fiance to try, trying out for volleyball. It was just a simulation and every volleyball trial is completely different. Remember, your experience may vary. For him, I wanted to see if he could do what we do and he can say that it was pretty tough. Coming from a wrestling background, he does have some experience with the agility and the dexterity, but with the cardiovascular work, maybe not. I hope that you liked this video. Please like, comment, subscribe and I'll see you guys next time.


I recommend when you're getting started on any of these assignments to first make a copy of your original data so that you're working on the copy and you'll always have the original go back and check. So the way I'm going to do that, I'm going to go down to the bottom and click on my home data tab to select that worksheet, then right click and I'm going to say move our copy and then I'm going to create a copy. And so now I've got a copy of my data and I can feel a little more comfortable playing around with that. When you're creating a scatter chart with Excel, Excel doesn't really know what you intend. It assumes that the data on the left column is what you want on the x-axis and the data in the right column is what you want on the y-axis. Now here our home price is over here in column B and we want that to be our y. So we need to make room to take the living area and put it to the left of home price. So I'm going to do here on my copy of my data is to insert a blank column. I'm going to go here to living area, select that column, column J, control C to copy it, go over here, click on a B1, control V, control Victor to paste the area in there. Now I've got my data set up the way I need it for my scatter chart. Now to create my scatter chart, I want to select these two columns and I'm going to first select the headers there and then control shift down arrow, excuse me, and that selects all of the rows that I want. Then I can just go to insert charts and it wants the scatter chart there.  So I'm going to select that and click OK. And now it's putting my chart unfortunately down at the bottom and so what I'm going to do is just control X and go back up to the top, scroll up there and then select the cell and control V to have my chart there. Now I'm going to do this. I'm going to drag this over here a little bit so we can see. I want to add my trend line and equation and all I do is click on the plus up here chart elements and then click on trend line and get the triangle there to get my options and I'm going to go to more options. Move this over so you can see. It opens up a menu over here in the very far right and I want to display the equation and my r squared value. You'll need this for later on on my chart and so there's my basic chart. I can move that around so I can see it. So that's your basic scatter chart with your x-axis and we want to label those. So we're just going to click on this and I want to access title and this is area highlighted and this is price. So now you've got your basic chart. Hope this helps.


O'Brien. Welcome folks. This is Tom O'Brien of TFNN. We go five days a week. We go seven hours a day. We go 24 hours a day on the internet at TFNN.com. Always remember folks, whatever you think about, you bring about whatever you focus on grows. Hope everyone's having a great day, safe day. Let's make a great night, folks. Be impeccable with your word. Manifest your true intentions. Regardless of what language you speak, your intent will be manifested through the word. What you dream, what you feel, and what you really are will be manifested through what you say each and every day. Mockin' your eyes. Let's take a look at it out here. We have the Dow Industries up 231. NASDAQ up 41. S&Ps up 16.5. Gold. Gold contract down $3.90. Trade to $21.82. We have Silver down $0.15. $25.11 an ounce. Light Sweet Crude up $0.80. $83.52 a barrel notes and bonds. 10-year note. Up 10 ticks. Trade to $1104. The 30-year. Up $19 at $1.18.25 in King Dollar. King Dollar trading up 268 ticks at $103.847. Euro 108. Yen 150. British pound $129 to one U.S. dollar. iPhone numbers<PHONE_NUMBER>. Give us a call, folks. One note's going on in your world. In the world of the S&Ps, as well as the NASDAQ and the NASDAQ 100, all the industries and general folks, you had rejection of lower price and you're going to have light of all. I mean, that tells me that tomorrow at 2 o'clock when the statement comes out that we're going to go for the highs. The S&P, the spy went to 511, rejected it. You're at 514 right now. The NDX100, which is also getting hit, went down into the price point of, let's see, 433. Rejected it. You're at 438. And what you have in the NASDAQ 100, the Qs, is that you get that high volume high at 448. It gave it up on price that day, but guess what? That's a high volume high. So it looks to me that we're going to go higher before we're going to go lower, which is as wild as you can get. Let's get over to our man, Mr. Basil Chapman now, because our man, Mr. Basil Chapman, now, this is really cool, man, that he is doing a live webinar today, right after I finish from 4 to 530. Now, this is for his subscribers, folks, okay? But you can be a subscriber right here and right now. And the way you do that, you come over to our website at TFNN, you're going to go under featured content and you're going to see it right on the left-hand side. The opening call, subscribe to the webinar. You can hit that button. You can subscribe. It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, so the bottom line is that you can take it for 30 days if it works for you. Great. If for some reason it doesn't work for you, you just let us know. You get your full refund. And then what you get, of course, is this. You're going to get a great webinar today. Basil already has about 10 to 12 out there. And the webinar today is going to be the technical tools needed for the coming few months. Basil Chapman, what's going on? Hi, Tom. How are you? I'm doing great, man, yourself. I'm well. Thank you. Looking forward to 4 o'clock. It's exciting, I must say. You got a good day. You're always picking a good day, even though you don't know what's going to happen. I know. It's very interesting. Well, of course, part of it is timing. The way I was looking at it come this middle part of March. A lot of the market very often happens in March. I thought it was an opportune time. But what's really interesting is you were talking about different technical indicators. So I'll be talking about technical indicators, but it's not just the technical indicators. It's what stocks and sectors go with us. And that's the important thing that I want to be putting together. It's like a package of what stocks we're looking at. Yes. Any decline, what we want to get. Nice. Doesn't matter the range of prices with a single digit stock, double digit. It has nothing to do with that. It's the right sector, for instance, even though we are on a very short-term basis, we have short positions. We actually have also put on long positions because these are stocks that are sectors that are under the radar and seem to be working. And what's interesting is that as we're talking and at 4 o'clock, the futures are still open for another hour. So that's going to be exciting because I have one particular indicator. I call it the technical tool of last resort, and that's my 914 moving average. Yes. And you can see, here's the one-minute chart. It's just the same as when I'm going to be doing my webinar. I'll be talking about the daily, weekly, monthly. This is the one-minute, five-minute, and the 10-minute. And you can see that this nine-peered moving average was green, and then it went pink in the one-minute chart. The green in the five-minute chart just ignored it. It couldn't care. But all of a sudden, as we were speaking, it's gone pink. The 10-minute, which I would say is like a monthly, has this jetted H pattern, and it's arching over. So this is live. As we're looking at it, these are the very indicators, and I'll show you what we're looking at here. So in the daily chart, here's the nine-peered moving average. It looked so close, like even this morning, the futures went red. It was going back and forth. I was driving on the way in when I was listening to it. And the interesting thing is, I said, this is early in the morning. It's not four o'clock. Anything can happen. The day is young, right up until the last five or 10 minutes of the day. So we're going to be watching this very closely, because it's getting closer and closer. But if you had to look at the IYM, which is the... So IWM. The IWM is the... No, I want to go to the IWM. IWM, look at this. This is the daily chart on the left. Both of them daily charts. And there it is, pink. The nine-peered moving average hasn't been pink since it crossed positive back in the 9th of February. So for a month, it's been running, and this has been one of the weaker indices. So we know that bottoms are made in unison. Synchronicity, because the fear factor and everything just comes in together. Tops kind of roll over, but the fact that we've got the small caps rolling over, the estimations were really close. Here we go, just save the day by having a bit of a rally, but it's starting to weaken. So I'm looking at this, and I'm going to show the subscribers and people who are joining the webinar. How we look at this, it's a process. I don't want to say, this is it. Bam. It has to be a process, this particular indicator. And it's an indicator that gives, for instance, there was one day where it went pink in the SMH, as a semiconductor index, right here on the 5th of January, and then by the, it was a weekend on the 8th of Monday, it went green again, and it's green all the way through January, February, and all the way through this very minute that we're talking. But it looks very close to turning down. Come over to our website at TFNN. You're going to see it right under featured content, the opening call, subscribe to the webinar, and remember something. It's 4 to 5.30 today. If you can't make it live, folks, this is totally archived, okay? So if you want a great webinar, a great knowledge of exactly what Baszler does, go do it right now. Baszler, you have a great one, safe one. We look forward to the seminar at 4 o'clock. Thank you, Tom. Thank you, Tom. Thanks, man. Stay right there, folks. Come right back.


Peace out you guys, I'll go back to another one. If you are new to the channel, I am Gold Pony on the new car truck SUV reviews on YouTube. And today we are in the brand new 2024 Toyota Corolla Cross courtesy of Younger Toyota in Hagerstown, Maryland for more information on their inventory. Please feel free to check out the link in the description box below. So today we're in this one because this is actually an affordable compact SUV. You do of course get Toyota's legendary reliability to go along with that. All-wheel drive is available. We do have all-wheel drive today because I thought it would be a fun day to kind of go out and test out the all-wheel drive system in the snow. It is snowing right now, so this should be a fun one but you do get two years or 25,000 miles of complimentary maintenance as well with all new Toyotas for that matter.  So having said all of that, what do you guys say? Let's just go ahead and jump right into it. And as always, let's start with pricing. So as you can imagine, there are a few different trim levels for the 2024 Corolla Cross. First one being the L starting at $23,610, which is a $550 bump from the 2023 model year. L-E, which is the trim we are in today, starting at $25,940 and lastly the XL-E going for $29,135. So that was all pricing for the front wheel drive configuration. If you wanted to add all wheel drive, you can do that simply at $1,300 than to any of those prices. But regardless of trim level that you go with, the power plant on the Corolla Cross is going to be the same. Powering the Little Beast is a two liter naturally aspirated inline four cylinder putting out 169 horsepower at 6,600 RPM. 151 pound feet of torque coming in at 4,400 RPM. That power being sent to front wheels or all wheels through a CVT. Zero to 60 time coming in at approximately 9.3 seconds. We'll test that out in a little bit here. MPG numbers then coming in at 31 in the city, 33 on the highway for the front wheel drive, 29 city, 31 then on the highway for the all wheel drive taking regular unleaded fuel. So now how have we got all of that out of the way? What do you guys say? Let's go ahead and find a straight way. Let's put the acceleration here to the test and let's see how quickly we can get our new 2024 Corolla Cross here up to speed. All right, three, two, one, go. It's kind of loud. Yeah, it's not the quickest thing in the world. It's not bad. It's actually a lot quicker than I expected it to be. Certainly not as slow as the Mitsubishi Mirage, but again, not the quickest thing in the world. But it's one of those things where you kind of learn how to drive your car the more you drive it. It's kind of like the visibility in a Camaro or a 370 or something like that. You just get used to it. So I don't see any issues with merging onto the highway or anything like that in the Corolla Cross. They would be perfectly fine for me. But anyways, to go along with that acceleration as always, braking is equally important. So upfront, you will find 12-inch ventilated front discs. In the back, 11.1-inch solid rear discs as far as that 60s-year stopping distance goes. That actually comes in at a very impressive 120-foot number. That's brilliant. I always tell you guys, sports today, a number is usually in the one teens. Usually with SUVs, you find in the 130s, honestly, or upper 120. So 120 feet even, that's a really, really good stopping distance, I'm telling you. So as far as braking feel goes, it's 100% on the firmer side of things. This thing instantly brings you to a stop even in the snow here today. So I love the braking on the Corolla Cross. Absolutely no issues there. But then touching on suspension and handling upfront, you're going to get an independent McPherson strut front suspension. In the back, it's going to differ dependent upon the configuration that you go with. So for the front-wheel drive, you're going to get a torsion beam rear axle. For the all-wheel drive, you're going to get an independent multi-link rear suspension. And front stabilizer bar comes standard for all trims. But if you want a rear stabilizer bar, you got to go with the all-wheel drive. So essentially what I'm getting at is if you want better handling, and if you want better ride quality, you're going to go with the all-wheel drive system for the Corolla Cross. I'm just saying. So overall, as far as ride quality goes, it has been perfectly fine. I'm going to show a little test drive here today. These wheels are very, very smooth. But having said that, I've had no issues with ride quality on the Corolla Cross. So 100% Toyota. As far as steering feel goes, that's one of the first things I noticed. It's a very loosey-goosey steering feel. As to be expected in most SUVs, sometimes I'm kind of impressed with the heavier steering feels, but they're rare, I will say that. So it's to be expected. It honestly feels just like the steering feel in the Corolla, if you're familiar with that. So wouldn't have minded if they put maybe a steering feel firm mode like Volvo does, or something like that, just to adjust the steering feel and make it a little more weighted. That's all I'm saying there, but as far as cabin noise goes, do you get a little bit of road noise? It's nothing that bothers me. You get a lot of engine noise when you really get on this thing, but overall, it's to be expected with what the Corolla Cross actually is. And that touching our rear visibility, I can actually see perfectly fine out the back as we come up on even more snow. So this is fun. So yeah, as far as rear visibility goes, I can see perfectly fine out the back. You definitely shouldn't have any issues there. But that pretty much rounds out the performance segment of this review, you guys. Let's not go ahead and take a look at the exterior of our brand new 2024 Toyota Corolla Cross. All right, so here she is, you guys. The new 2024 Toyota Corolla Cross finished in blue crush metallic. In case you were curious of the exact exterior color name that we had on this one, but so always let's go ahead and start with where this one is made. And this is one of those new Irvins. First character is the number seven, indicating that this one is actually built and assembled here in the US. But as always, let's go ahead and start up front on this one. Black front grille will come on the L and L E trim levels, like you were guys are looking at right now. However, if you were to go with the XLE, you're going to get some metallic paint grills around. So in place of our gloss black will actually be finished in kind of like a metallic kind of bronze-ish look. I guess you could say, but to the sides, full LED projector style headlights do come standard for all trim levels across the board. I love that they're not reflector. They are projector and they're both low beam and high beam. It doesn't get any better than that. LED day time rating lights also coming standard. You get the auto off feature for the L, but then auto on and off for the L and XLE trim levels. But then automatic high beams do actually come standard on every single trim level across the board. So if you have your high beams on a night and sense the vehicle coming in the opposite direction, it's going to automatically dim them back to low beams. And when the vehicle is gone, it's going to automatically bounce it back up the high beams for you there. So I do like that. That at least comes standard for all trim levels. And if you were to go with the XLE, you guys can see the cutouts near the bottom. We'll actually get LED fog lights then as well. But that pretty much rounds out the front end of this one. Listen, I'll go ahead and make our way to the side. It's a bit now, since we are around to the side of this one, black roof rails do come on the LE and XLE trim levels. Hence the reason we have those. For your privacy glass, also for those two trim levels as well, you will find some silver or black kind of floating roof line. You guys can see that going towards the C pillar there. And actually, if you get up a little bit closer, you're going to find that it actually does say Corolla Cross on it as well. I'm going to show you that to you guys real quick. You see it says Corolla Cross. And actually, if you go down a little bit, you're actually going to find that there is some Corolla Cross lettering found in the rear taillight there as well. Hopefully you guys can see that. It does say Corolla Cross though. I like that. I like the little attention to detail that I told you to put into that. But anyways, black power adjustable side mirrors will come on the L trim level, but they will be body colored for the LE and XLE trims. But then heated for those two and also with LED integrated turd signals for the LE and XLE trims as well. So let's take a look down at the wheel setup, 17 inch steel wheels with covers for the L trim, 17 inch aluminum alloys for the LE. That is what you guys are looking at. And then 18 inch aluminum alloys for the XLE. But that pretty much rounds out the side profile as the snow starts to pick up here. Let's now go ahead and make our way to the back. All right, so now since we are around to the back of the Corolla Cross, body colored shark fin antenna found all the way to the top. Just below that rear spoiler, just below that rear window wiper. Trim level badging found on the back tailgate there as well. So if you ever wander on to a lot, maybe on a Sunday, that's where you're gonna go ahead and find the trim level badging as well as the all wheel drive badging if the Corolla Cross is a quick delist. LED tail lights come on the XLE trim level only. Otherwise you're gonna get halogens back there. Do you have some body colored accents towards the bottom there? I like that on the rear bumper. And of course, a single exhaust outlet for all trim levels across the board. So having said that, I do believe you guys know what we have to do next here. As always, here is that exhaust clip. All right, so now since we are around to the back of the Corolla Cross, when it comes to opening that rear tailgate, it is gonna be a manual tailgate for all trim levels across the board. However, there is a power tailgate available with a convenience package that actually comes with the power moonroof and some other things as well. But once it opened up, cargo capacity comes in at 26.5 cubic feet. If that was not enough space, there is a 60-40 split, meaning the rear seats do fall down for quite a bit of extra space then if you needed it. LED cargo lighting coming standard. You don't always find LEDs in the cargo area. So I like that cargo cover coming on the XLE, but it's just gonna be optional on the LE trim level, we do have it.  But in addition to that, there's gonna be some in-floor storage surrounding that as well. So you can probably put a small ice scraper or something like that back there. But then make your way up to the rear legroom that comes in at 32 inches even. For reference, I mean even six feet tall. This is how much space I have back there. Rear ventilation actually does come standard for all trim levels across the board. Gonna find dual rear USB charging ports for the LE and XLE trim levels. And then a rear center armrest with cupholders for the XLE trim level only. And then make your way up to the front seats, manually adjustable cloth seating for the L and LE trims, 10-way power driver seat with power lumbar for the XLE soft-tex upholstery for the XLE heated front seats for the XLE as well. As far as seat comfort goes in our LE trim level that we have with us here today, it's actually been perfectly fine. I haven't had any issues in my short little test drive here. So for manually adjustable cloth seats, they actually get the job done. So I haven't had any issues there. Then make your way to the steering wheel. It is tilt and telescoping. And this is gonna be wrapped in urethane on the L trim level, but then leather wrapped for the LE and XLE trims and no issues there yet. Again, then make your way to the startup. Let me start by showing you guys the key here. You got your Toyota logo all the way to the bottom. Lock and unlock, but it is all keyless entry with a push button start for the LE and XLE trims only. So all I'm going to do here is simply put my foot on the brake and press that black engine start button located just kind of by the driver's right knee. And so once started up, there's going to be two different gauge clusters, 4.2 inch digital screen front and center for the L and LE trim that we have today. But then you will find a full seven inch digital gauge cluster for the XLE trim level. But having said that the gauges that we have today, they're probably the most basic gauges in existence right now. So tachometers on your left, speedometers on your right. You got the small screen front and center. And there is really no creativity or originality whatsoever to these gauges. They're simply white on black. There's no 3D effects like they had in maybe the 2022 model year, if I remember correctly. So I wouldn't have minded if they did a little bit more with these gauges at least on the L and LE trim levels. They can be analog. I got no problem with that, but at least create some kind of a 3D effect or some kind of nice design rather than just white on black and just there's no creativity whatsoever. Anyways, through the digital screen you could check out outside temperature, how many miles you'll left until you hit empty. There's a digital speedometer, pretty much everything you can possibly want on the digital screen at least. But then make your way to overall interior quality. Power Moonroof is gonna be a $940 option for the LE and XLE trims, but it also does come with a convenience package, which by the way goes for right around $2,100 I believe. So we do have that, I like that, but auto dimming rear view mirror for the XLE trim level, ambient lighting for the XLE trim level as well. Wireless phone charger coming on the LE and XLE trims.  I like seeing that automatic climate control for the LE so we can set a temperature. It'll automatically hit that for us and dual zone climate control for the XLE trim level. One of the little interesting things that I really like on the Corolla Cross here is the overhead LED lighting here. It's kind of got this Mercedes-Benz effect. This is almost exactly the way Mercedes-Benz set up their interior lighting as far as the design goes and the way the LED lights kind of show. I like that overhead lighting there and just behind the shifter, you got a lecture mechanical parking brake. You got a couple cup holders as well within the center armrest. It's a little bit of storage there. You do actually have a 12-volt power outlet in there and another USB charging port as well, but overall everything is kind of finished on the basic side of things. You got a black plastic door handle, a lot of black plastic surrounding the cup holders and on the doors, but it's okay. It still gets the job done. So yeah, I'll just say that, but now let's go ahead and make our way to the infotainment screen here. 8-inch color touch screen display does come standard for all trim levels across the board. Bluetooth and audio streaming coming with that. Wireless Android Auto Apple CarPlay for all trims. I love that. Well done Toyota there. You can check out your driving statistics up there as well, along with your radio information. And so when it comes to the sound system, there is really one of them and then an optional one. So you're gonna find six speakers for all trim levels coming standard. However, there is an optional nine-speaker JBL sound system that goes for $800. We don't have that one with us here today. We do have the six speakers. So having said that, what do you guys say? Let's go ahead and turn on the radio, see what we got playing today. And let's test out the clarity of this one. ["Toyota 6-Speaker Sound Systems"] Actually not that bad. I usually say that too. I feel like about Toyota's six-speaker sound systems. They're pretty good for six speakers. I'll just put it that way there. You expect a lot less and actually you're kind of greeted with a good bit of bass. Very good clarity actually for six speakers as well. Having said that, I remember reviewing the JBL sound system last year's Corolla Cross that I reviewed and that was amazing. I love that. But this is actually pretty darn good for six speakers as well. But last thing I wanna mention to you guys on the infotainment screen is when you do both Corolla Cross and Reverse, you will find a rear view camera. Not the highest definition rear view camera, but it still gets the job done nonetheless, which is always is going to lead us into safety. And so to start, IIHS top safety pick plus, which is the very highest designation given by IIHS that pretty much says it all right there. Front side, side current airbags do come standard driver's knee airbag up front as well, but also in the back rear side impact airbags. That's like an $800 option for Mercedes and BMW. Also in the back latch, AKA lower anchors of tethers to children for the rear car seats, rear child door locks, type pressure monitoring system, but also coming standard Toyota Safety Sense 3.0. That gives you a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, lane departure alert with steering assist, lane tracing assist, dynamic radar cruise control and road sign assist then as well. Then if you were to go with the LE or XLE trims, you're going to add to that a blind spot monitoring system with rear cross traffic alert and safe exit assist then as well. So overall when it comes to my final thoughts here of the Corolla Cross, excellent safety. You can't beat an IIHS top safety pick plus, legendary reliability that has been proven at this point. The JBL sound system is excellent. I remember that one in last year's review. Six-spear sound system, it's pretty good as well. Good starting price point as well. Starting in the lower 20s is definitely a rarity these days with inflation and all that. Wireless connectivity, you don't always find that really on most cars out there. So usually you have to still wire it up through a USB cable with your phone to the car. So I love that it's wireless. Gives it a much more cleaner look on the inside here. As far as room for improvement goes, this thing is definitely slow unfortunately. So and honestly, I don't mind the slowness because the trade-off is you're going to get excellent reliability there. But one thing that really does need improved upon on this thing is the gauges. The gauge cluster, at least on the L and L E-terms, not the XLE, they're so boring. If there was an award for the most boring gauges, I think it would probably have to go to the Corolla Cross or the Corolla because I know they use these gauges as well, but they didn't use to. That's the weird thing. They went with a kind of cool-looking gauge cluster to this very boring one for some reason. But anyways, let me know what you guys think of the Corolla Cross in the comment section below. That is about it for this one. You guys, thank you so much for watching.
