I had a 2022 Hybrid LE for 35k miles. My commute was 130 miles a day, 90% highway 10% city. I averaged 62.5 MPG, almost 650 miles to a full tank. Great Little Car!
Kirk, You are rapidly becoming the Ace of Base Model Reviews. 🤪There are two main lessons in this video: a) 76 mph is not a fuel efficient speed for highway driving b) The Corolla would be better off with the Camry's 2.5 Hybrid powertrain. Let's hope there is a Corolla Touring Sports with the 2.5 Hybrid drivetrain just around the corner. 🤞🤞🤩🤩
We have the 2023 Corolla LE Hybrid. Our last four 600Km trips with 2 people in the car and luggage (quite full), we averaged 4.1L/100Km (57MPG) on very hilly roadways at average of 110Kph. I am very impressed with the car. Better fuel economy than rated.
That is pretty decent but there is a 10% penalty for enjoying an extra 10 kmh. Isn't it odd that Toyota Canada will ship us the Corolla LE Hybrid all the way from Japan but they won't bring us the Camry LE from Kentucky?
I appreciate you preaching courtesy to folks around you. I am an old man and I prefer to drive slow, but I prefer even more to be courteous to other users of the road.
I rented a 2024 Corolla LE Hybrid for a 600-mile trip from North Georgia to southern Alabama and back over Memorial Day Weekend. I cruised at 80mph on the interestate (about half the trip) and 60-65mph on two-lane highways for the other half. I had the A/C on full blast and didn't attempt to drive conservatively. My average for the entire trip was 50.2mpg.
I have a '22 Corolla Hybrid and it is so nice. I average about 58 MPG and that's driving back and forth, on I-80, from CA to NV. That's about 600+ miles per tank which is super nice. Filling up is never over $50, even when my tank is super close to empty. I even got some winter tires for my Corolla and wow does it do amazing in ice and snow too. I ended up installing a remote starter on my Corolla and some heated seat covers, as it was the only thing I really wanted in my car to make the harsh cold mornings a little more bearable. I really don't see me needing any other car until my Corolla just gives up and dies.
If it weren't for that screen in the middle, you could absolutely convince me that the instrument cluster was from a 90's corolla, and I love it for that
Man I’m jealous of your Florida city streets. Here in Tucson, Arizona we have traffic lights every 1/4 mile that are red at least half the time. Crushes my mpg on the Prius despite my best efforts
Your comment about driving a hybrid being nearly as fun as driving a sports car hits home with me. I had a 2020 Mustang manual 4 cylinder that I put 16k miles on. I averraged 29.6 mpg and I played both with mpg and acceleration.
Literally sold my GR86 6mt for a Hybrid Corolla, it was a bitter sweet switch as I miss the manual but it’s such a more relaxing drive. Rather come back to the 86 platform with it as a second car and not a daily! And I went from 93 premium 23 mpg to 87 regular at 53+ mpg
Thats really good considering the outside temperature and you have the AC on. If it had the 2.0l it would be in the 60s mpg. 1.8l has been used since 2003. .
Excellent review as usual Kirk. I really enjoy your "thinking out loud" reviews which provide so many useful tips and information for us. Your real world life experience with hybrid vehicles makes your hybrid reviews second to none. Regarding the hybrid battery, I fully expect the Li-Ion equipped hybrids to have a life expectancy easily of around 20 years or more. The old NiMH batteries in the hybrids are lasting 14-15 years before needing replacement as it is. Based simply on the difference Li-Ion batteries made to our power tools vs. the original NiMH batteries they started out with that only lasted like 2 to 4 years, I'm thinking much more life can be expected with a Li-Ion equipped hybrid. The Li-Ion hybrid battery in my 2018 Camry hybrid LE is the last thing I worry about.
@@Bonanzaking prius is too expensive. The regular Corolla hatchback starts at under 24k. If they could make the hybrid LE version for under 25k, that would be amazing.
We drove Interstate 5 from Orange County, CA to Sacramento at 55 to 65 following slow moving semi trucks and got 62 for the trip but it sure did take a long time.
I have got a 2020 Hybrid Toypta Corolla, I record all fuel I buy and put in Excel, like I have done with all my cars for last 40 years. My Corolla increases fuel consumption quite a lot durng the winter months up to nearly 10L per100 km (23,5 MPG) with defroster and heating on most of the time I drive it, but on yearly basis it consumes 7,5L per 100 km (31,3 MPG). Note that most of my driving is a small town but on the other hand when I am on a highway/urban then it does about 47 MPG, and somewhat better even in the summer time. I live in Iceland, all the same I regard this Toyota quite economial car to drive. Many years ago I had another Corolla probably 1997 model and it too gave very satisfactory consumption results. We have to buy petrol mixed with up to 10% ethanol which may result in somewhat increased fuel consumption.
👍 70 yr old retired got 21 prius le msrp 27.5 pd 22.5 1/21 4 mo later 2k over msrp. Crazy. 1st 5k @52 mpg 20k@59.5 avg best car i ever bought includes 2 trips to vegas from mty bay 500 mi away on cruz control 75-85 mph on long stretches, not a slow car. Saw an article 2023 prius le from la to ny 3,200 mi avg 93+mpg
I get 48 mpg plus in my 2012 Yaris on the highway and in town driving. 4 speed auto, best car I have ever had. Small but comfortable cannot ask for more.🍁🍁🍁🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
...lol yeah, if i've learned anything from my PHEV, it's that electric torque is addicting. driving efficiently requires a discipline i can rarely muster.... except on road trips, where i can just pin the adaptive cruise control at 120km/h.
I have a 2023 LE AWD, rated to 48 mpg. I average 46 mpg, which includes a cross country trip to my folks place in Maine from the mountain west (75-83 mph average) and regular trips into the mountains all winter. On my commute to work averages into the mid-50s isn’t hard to achieve
My 2023 Toyota Corolla Hybrid LE averages 38-42 MPG in the city and 35-40 on the highway with the air conditioner and regular drive activated. Not bad, but nowhere near 50 MPG. I still love my car.
I realize 99% of the comments here on mpg is based on what the car is saying which is 100% inaccurate! Do simple math and let just know. The miles you drive will not lie and the tank size. People's brain are becoming cup holders now days.
Kirk, I like and watch a lot of your videos, but why not try to use the same pump and take out one variable from the test. I realize it probably isn’t going to make too much of a difference, but it might make some difference. You are putting in a lot of time, you owe it to yourself and the viewers to try to be as accurate as possible. Thanks for doing these tests and especially for doing as many tests as possible on less expensive cars and in their base versions.
This is great info. I am a Toyota hybrid person. Not sure why Toyota does not allow you to have a tach on their more powerful “regular” hybrid models. I think the I-force/Hybrid Max models offer it since they use a transmission 8 or 6 speed auto.
Up to my observation of your drive, the blue indicator appears to correlate with the power of the electric motors. When you start from complete stop, it goes full right, then ICE may add up. Upon regen breaking it goes left. For some short moments upon moderate deceleration, typically after ICE shut off, it goes both ways, which may mean that MG2 is still pushing the car while MG1 is generating (this makes sense if you recall that MG1 is also responsible for maintaining effective gear ratio)
I have the non hybrid, I easily get 51-53mpg with just myself in the car over longer highway trips (110 miles round trip). Averaging 41 mpg mixed driving. It gets the 2.0 liter engine over the hybrid and has more horsepower. It’s faster than the hybrid, but doesn’t have as much response over the hybrid, although it is still enough since this transmission has a launch gear. I couldn’t personally justify the extra hybrid cost since I drive very little, but if you drive a lot, it could be worth it
@@KirkKreifels The non-hybrid will be better for people who drive low yearly mileage and plan to keep the vehicle for a very long time past the expiration of the hybrid battery warranty. The hybrid battery will likely go bad by 15 years of age or so regardless of how little mileage is on it, and if you didn’t pack on a lot of miles over the years, you wouldn’t have saved enough in gas and maintenance to recoup the costs of replacing the battery. If you drove the non hybrid 15 years with very low mileage, the powertrain will likely not have any issues for many more years.
@KirkKriefels can you get some seat time in a Civic hybrid for an upcoming review? I'm really interested in seeing how you feel it compares to both the Corolla hybrid & Camry.
You comment the reported or rated highway MPG but not the speed of the testing. I drive 65 mph because that’s the speed limit, on cruise control. The best aspect is that everyone else is out fighting with all others to be “faster,” reducing efficiency. Driving slower that the peloton means steady driving, no changes in speed, and max possible mpg: 2018 Hyundai Ioniq PHEV: average 62 MPG. The other half drives “like everyone else” and the mpg drops to around 50 mph. Analysis: my style means over 100 miles more using the 10 gallon comparison to hers. That's huge. Thabks
@@Iamallwaysright1 you realize that you are getting much better gas mileage in a midsize than in a compact? That is truly mind blowing and a first, let alone the practical benefits. I bet the gas savings alone will make up for the taxes and insurance differences (if any).
I know Kirk teared this apart on his previous video, but this is the car most ppl need right now, you don't need premium if you gonna have to do 72 or 84 month finance. This is a great car at a reasonable price, just dont pay for add ons.
@@KirkKreifels I have the non hybrid version, got it for 23k, fantastic car. Even the non hybrid gets very good mileage. Spending $20 every 2 weeks is fantastic
I noticed Toyota always rates Fuel economy less than what the car does in real time driving because I have a Toyota Venza XLE and it’s rated 37 highway and 40 miles city and I’m getting 43 miles per gallon combined!!! Mostly highway driving!!!
really useful review especially on price/value evaluation...I get 51mpg on se awd 18" wheels hilly 50/50 at 40/62 mph... less 20% winter/ rainy season...snow tires...16" , The 18"wheels and 38 psi make a harsh ride , and pot hole excitement....... sometime I may go down to 16" rims..
My buddy has one of these with AWD. Not sure what he gets for MPG but I think it's around 40. My Mazda3 gets 36. I'd only buy a hybrid if it meant I'd get at least 50 mpg.
The all new 9th Gen Toyota Camry has proven to be the best family sedan in America because of everything about this wonderful automobile is so good, its final scores after tallying earned its crown as the best family I don’t understand why would anyone buy a Corolla over the all new Toyota Camry, the King of family sedan.
Can you do a video of corolla hybrid vs prius since they are more similar size? I am looking for a new ride that can keep for 10+ years. I would like to hear your opinions on them, like drive and build quality, perhaps value for money around 30k.
i use cruise control as much as possible (even in urban areas) to get overall 21MPG out of my 2015 Q5, wondering if cruise control will promote even better MPGs on hybrids
Honestly, I’d rather see what the absolute worst fuel economy would be, that way when you’re not able to drive like you’re going to your own funeral you’ll know what realistically you’d get. Most people aren’t gonna crawl around like this. Punch that pedal from every light.
My 2021 Corolla Hybrid has averaged 55.5 mpg in the Boston area since delivery in December 2020. I make frequent road trips to Maryland via hilly I-78 in PA. The mpg readout is typically 3 - 5 mpg optimistic which I suspect is not an accident. C'mon Toyota. BTW: two clicking the gas pump is a bad idea as it could overflow liquid gas into your vapor recovery filter resulting in a $$$ repair. Critique: With all the repetitive hypermiling suggestion removed this video could have been half as long and just as informative.
Where did you hear this? You can drive the car however you want. Especially the Japanese hybrids, won't ever break no matter how you drive. They are durable.
I had a 2022 Hybrid LE for 35k miles. My commute was 130 miles a day, 90% highway 10% city. I averaged 62.5 MPG, almost 650 miles to a full tank. Great Little Car!
How much MPH did you Drive? I Commute 140 miles a day would love the info!
My 2017 Toyota Corolla just got totaled. I'm going for a 2025 Toyota Corolla Hybrid LE. Getting over 600+ miles is crazy good.
How did you get so high if it's rated for 46 highway?
@ the majority of my drive was ~62mph, until I hit the interstate, and I would do 72mph.
@ Just accelerate slowly when safe to do so, and coast down hills to regen energy.

I get 42-43 mpg highway mileage driving a non-hybrid '24 Corolla LE. Which honestly ain't that bad.
I think people forget it wasn't all that long ago people bragged about getting 20 mpg on the highway
It’s awesome. You could probably increase that mpg if you drove like a granny.
I used to get 38 or 39 in my 2005 Corolla CE , but you had to keep it under 65 mph.
Bro that's a Corolla, you comparing apples to grapes. Corolla Camry, differ size cars.
i get 34-35 mpg on a bmw 4 series which is also not too bad considering how it has way more horsepower.
Thanks! I love your insight test! When my old 07 civic so with 276k miles dies one day, I will probably buy a Corolla hybrid
Toyota's hybrid is rock solid. My only issue is they should've started pushing hybrid much earlier.
Blue line is for suggested acceleration for best mileage
Thats really good considering the outside temperature and you have the AC on.
If it had the 2.0l it would be in the 60s mpg.
1.8l has been used since 2003.

I wish they made the hybrid hatchback. That thing would be a great alternative to CUVs and smaller SUVs. I would get it over the RAV4
Toyota has been making a Corolla Hybrid hatch and wagon for years, they just won't sell them in our market.
Why not just get the Corolla Cross?
There is the new Prius
@@Bonanzaking prius is too expensive. The regular Corolla hatchback starts at under 24k. If they could make the hybrid LE version for under 25k, that would be amazing.

This was very interesting
Where I live 🇦🇺 the best price I can find is about 36 aud = 23994 USD
If you drive on the highway for any significant amount of time stretching your budget for a base camry would be way more comfortable
Thanks for your video. I would get the Camry LE more room longer range better mpg.
Kirk,
Our son bought the Camry 2025 LE. The 2.5 naturally aspirated engine more cabin space and 51 mpg on the freeway is a better value.
Agreed!
Yeah, just wish it was built in Japan like the corolla hybrid.
Depends on your financial position. If 30k is a bridge to far then staying below 27-25 could be the limit for some. Like me!

Sounds like the next gen Corolla will similar in tech to a 2016 BMW i3 REX. Ah the i3 really was way ahead of its time.
This is great. But the fact that the midsize Camry LE easily beat that makes it a much better buy for an extra $5k.
Also the civic hybrid which costs as much if not more sometimes. Insane pricing
Shhhh
Corolla is made in Japan
You act as if $5k is a small amount. Taxes on the Camry will be higher, as will insurance. It's a huge difference between the 2 cars!

I hope the next gen Corolla hybrid gives us at least 180 hp. I’d also like to see a hatchback hybrid version in the US.

Prius LE if you can find one is the pick. Otherwise the Prius gets pricey fast.
I would actually prefer a smaller Toyota Yaris hybrid hatchback, but sadly Toyota doesn't sell those here in the USA "yet".
The Yaris hatch is overdue for a comeback. Even the Yaris Cross would beat the Corolla's mpg by 20%.
Going that slow my prius 2023 xle gets 70-75, so there's no surprise
Roadmaster is BEYOND COOL.
I thought since it’s a hybrid the tachometer would be replaced with a battery level meter
Toyota trip computers err in favor of better mpg. But, it is still better than the competion.
I always figured 5%. Bald tires always give you the best mpg.
guess Elantra hybrid is still MPG king. Top trim elantra hybrid was 64MPG in Kirk test. Wonder what the cheaper Blue trim MPG will be like.
i use cruise control as much as possible (even in urban areas) to get overall 21MPG out of my 2015 Q5, wondering if cruise control will promote even better MPGs on hybrids
You need a hybrid sir. I bet you'd be able to get some really impressive results.
Can't believe it has no serpentine belt. No belt at all.
What’s the tire size on this model?
Would the 2.0 litre engine perform better on highway driving
i want to see comparison of driving range to camry
650mi range for the Corolla hybrid LE
800mi range for Camry LE
just use epa miles per gallon comparison
Oh Toyota, please bring the Corolla Touring Hybrid to North America.
Oh well, gotta sell the SUVs somehow.
I actually got 89mpg on mine
Hello, how long was the trip? And did you start out with a cold or already warmed up engine? Town/city, or rural highways or both?
Nice
So why the frown?
What is the engine spec?
1.8L four cylinder like a 2010-2022 prius
if the car is new, it need to break in. It will get more than 50 MPG with ease. I know I own one
What about lumbar support?
None on the base trim.
fuel tank capacity
I think it will get 56 mpg. My SE with the 2.0 gets about 44 so it will get a decent amount better than that.
Edit: got pretty close nice
perfect Uber car, cheaper than the new Prius
if you can get away with driving slow
@@ouch9326its not any slower than the other ride sharing sh*t boxes, modern cars are not slow like they used to be
You shouldn't add anymore fuel once the pump clicks off because it'll eventually damage the EVAP system and those aren't cheap to fix.
Tank won't be full more than a few minutes.....So don't worry bout that........Paul
@@paulholterhaus7084 Still doesn't matter. You're still damaging the EVAP vent purge solenoid.
Honestly, I’d rather see what the absolute worst fuel economy would be, that way when you’re not able to drive like you’re going to your own funeral you’ll know what realistically you’d get. Most people aren’t gonna crawl around like this. Punch that pedal from every light.
realistically 58mpg isn't hard. Drivers punching at the light every time are likely to buy an Altima.
My 2021 Corolla Hybrid has averaged 55.5 mpg in the Boston area since delivery in December 2020. I make frequent road trips to Maryland via hilly I-78 in PA. The mpg readout is typically 3 - 5 mpg optimistic which I suspect is not an accident. C'mon Toyota. BTW: two clicking the gas pump is a bad idea as it could overflow liquid gas into your vapor recovery filter resulting in a $$$ repair. Critique: With all the repetitive hypermiling suggestion removed this video could have been half as long and just as informative.
Hahahah this car can mop the floor with Tesla
😂😂😂
63
HEY
Japan built > USA built
And I thought my 1972 Ford Pinto's 26 mpg was great mileage😂😂!
..and clean out the trunk. Junk is bad for mpg
hybrid not good unless your drive it carefully
83k miles, full throttle everywhere. Never got less than 50mpg. What you say again? LOL
Where did you hear this? You can drive the car however you want. Especially the Japanese hybrids, won't ever break no matter how you drive. They are durable.
You talked too much!
It’s junk over priced
Nope. Best commuter car in the world
Do a review on the Civic Hybrid.
Why do you drive most of the time in the passing lane.🇺🇸🇨🇦
