Toyota Corolla sedan 2020 review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 сер 2024
- The Toyota Corolla hybrid sedan is a more practical choice over the fun-to-drive Corolla hatch, which suffered from a tiny boot and small back seat. Does the sedan correct those problems? Yes! And, as Tom finds out in today's video, the 2020 Corolla sedan is still a remarkably fun car to drive. But is it better than a Hyundai Elantra or a Honda Civic? Let's find out.
What do you think of the new Corolla four-door? Do you think the Skoda Octavia outclasses it? Let me know all your thoughts in the comments.

In today's episode, Tom checks out the new hybrid-powered Corolla sedan. Unlike the hatch, it has a usable boot.
It’s so unfortunate, the hatch looks well proportioned to me, especially with the LED taillights. But the sedan just looks frumpy (sedans usually look better when elongated - think the Mazda3 Astina test car you drove) and those 90s looking halogen tail lights just look plain awful IMO. Totally agree that you need the sedan just to have a usable boot.
Toyota builds durable, good quality cars with reasonable prices for purchasing and maintenance. This is exactly what we expect from a day-to-day car to make life easier, but not more expensive. Especially this Corolla, which is such a good all-rounder: practical, not too big or small, enough space, nice interior and exterior.
Well summed up, Paul.
Great car I have the 2004 version and it never ever had any problems other than the ac in 2020 . But this car never dies . So nice 👍
Test drove a Accent Sport hybrid hatch yesterday....bought it 1/2 hour later. Quiet, comfortable and I don't know if people expect acceleration and speed of a Holden (Chev) SS but the responsiveness was more than enough for our nanny state in Victoria. The missing features from the mid and top spec weren't missed during my test drive which shows they would be nice but not really necessary. Steering is direct and to me well weighted for what this car is aimed at - urban daily drives. Suspension and ride quality is excellent - soaks up the uneven roads and provides an even and positive ride. The seats were extremely comfortable and would be no problem for longer trips. Forward vision is excellent, especially around the A pillar. I currently have a Holden SS ute and the A pillar vision is pathetic - the size of the blind spots is nerve racking. Rear vision is ok, but i could have done with a lower body line at the rear window (about 3 inches would be the sweet spot).
I agree about the rear seat space and luggage area - but I really don't car because I won't be in the back and don't intend lugging everyone's belongings to any destination.
If you are considering a commute car, you could do worse than test driving the Corolla - especially the hybrid.
Well done as always, Tom.
Thanks, Albert.
Great to see your review on the Corolla saloon hybrid. Smart looking car, better than the hatch in my eyes. :-)
No problem, Andrew. Glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for the tips,been thinking of buying this new Corolla or the Yaris cross or wait for the Corolla cross suv..which is already out in Asia,Europe and America…
Nice review! 👍
Thanks for watching!
great review :):):)
Why does the sedan lack LED taillights, dual zone AC and rear air vents unlike the ZR hatch. For a car that’s suited to rear passengers, air vents are a must, especially in our climate.
Hey Tom, how would you compare the comfort aspect of the ride (road noise included between the Toyota Sedan 2.0L and the Mazda 3 sedan? ( on the standard rims). O
The Corolla's definitely softer, but it is still controlled. It has been damped very well, I reckon. It helps that the Corolla sedan mainly rolls on 15-16 inch wheels. Only the top, petrol-only ZR has lower-profile 18s. The Mazda 3 sedan is slightly softer at the front end than the hatch in that car, but it is still fairly firm on the 18-inch wheels that are standard on 5 of the 6 grades in Australia.
Good review
Thanks mate.
Any word on why the Hybrid sedan isn’t available in ZR spec ?
Can you do a review of the Toyota Crown from 2015
Looking forward to getting mine. My current car is a 2010 Mazda 3.
Stick with mazda thats my advice if u like the sporty driving
Does Australia get the wagon variant of this?
Sadly not! Still hoping they will bring it out here, though.
Have hybrid prices fallen? Mid spec hybrid for under 30k? I test drove a corolla hybrid hatch about 5 years ago and was about 35k from memory
Thank you providing me some pricing insight. Now the 2021 base model hybrid is selling around $31000
im getting the new corolla sedan but not the hybrid getting the stranded petrol engine one getting the top speck corolla zr sedan i order it in February so i have to wait 6 to 8 mounts delivery to pick my new zr corolla up
why the corolla is blue outside, and inside the corolla have red exterior mirrorand red c-pillar?
I spotted they are different cars too, weird he thought nobody would notice
Any manual transmission option for this sedan?
Yep, on the base model 2.0L
What's fuel capacity for the 1.8L hybrid?
Thinking of buying this as I have to do 1000kays per week on M31 Hume highway. Will one fuel refill enough for the whole week? Does it take E10?
1. 43L
2. Keep in mind hybrids use more fuel on the highway than they do in town, usually, but I still reckon you’d either make it on one tank or be fairly close
3. Yes it does take E10
@@chasingcars Thanks for the info. Too bad they reduced fuel tank from usual 50L otherwise would have been ideal.
Is there a way to just turn battery mode on till it depletes? & how many kays that would be?
So reckon it will be better to get plugin hybrid like Hyundai Ioniq or just a Hyundai Crdi diesel for better fuel efficiency?
Can't decide between this or a 2018 Camry Hybrid as the cost for a brand new Corolla Hybrid sedan (base) is similar to a used Camry. Since you've driven both could you please give your opinion on which one would you go for if you had to choose? Thanks
If you can find a tidy, low-kilometre Camry hybrid (of the current shape) I'd go for that. The 2.5-litre hybrid system is more refined and much more powerful.
@@chasingcars Thanks for the helpful info!
Happy to help.
The front reminds me of a 2006 Honda Civic and that is not a bad thing
Good pickup
Nice car but what were they drinking when they designed those alloy wheels
Its for aerodynamics for better fuel economy it may not look good but it has a purpose
I am going to buy a Toyota Corolla blue car.
There is a two types of blue. 1 is saturn blue
Another one is lunar blue
Would you please tell me or anyone knows which blue is that Saturn blue or lunar blue?
Thank you
I love it
Funny the 2020 corolla is bigger than the 90's Camry
tj joe the way things are going the next corolla will be bigger than the 90s Rav4 lol
I can’t believe that Toyota gave the Corolla more practical space for seating and to be fair with the seats up....equal cargo capacity than their own 5 door! 🤔🤯.
Do you mean the 5-door wagon? The hatch's boot is tiny.
Chasing Cars yeah the hatch. But i find both boots tiny thats why i said they were about equal. No doubt that you can hold more bags or 🧳’s in sedan due to the squared profile though. But the boot of the 5 door should not have a marginal difference in space there should be no comparison. Here in America, as you probably already know, we use cubic feet. The sedan has 13.1 compared to 17.8 for the 5 door. But due to the shape on a “trunk” to the hatchback sloping hatch door, it “seems” like the sedan has more space. Even though the volume should be bigger in the hatch the stupid door basically makes it so the hatch looses alot of potential volume. Don’t get me wrong i watched your 5 door review of the car and you made your point(love your reviews) but both are similar. Just that one is more square and another has “style” 🥴 for practically from Toyota 🤦🏾♂️
My Toyota is fantastic ! 🇧🇪
Funny to hear sedan (US) with boot (UK) and bonnet (UK). Surprised Australians don't use saloon like in the UK, or using the trunk and the hood (US).
We have our own style.
Im starting to consider the sedan over the hatch.
That’s fair!
A comparo between the Prius and this would be interesting.
Good idea, Art. Their driving dynamics are quite similar, both sharing the TNGA platform, but off the top of my head I think the Corolla sedan bests the Prius for steering feel and chassis balance. But only just! They're both much better to drive than they probably need to be.
@@chasingcars will be interesting to see if the Prius' higher price is justified. Especially in its current guise.
Looks far sexier then the its previous version
True, but not I’m not sure it looks nearly as good as the new Mazda 3 sedan.
True tom i would put my cash on mazda 3
The brand new Corolla sedan is way better than the hatch ,in that it has a roomy interior and massive boot. Very smart looking as well
I love the design of the hatch and its even sharper handling, but the sedan is undoubtedly the better package on balance
@@chasingcars The sedan also gets better fuel economy (3.5/100km compared to 4.2/100km for the hatch), plusher suspension, more rear passenger head and leg room. The Hatch has somewhat sportier looks....but if your priority is sporty looks, why would you consider a corolla?
They should just bring the wagon version in aus. It surely would sell better then the sedan aesthetic wise maybe it’s just me missing that station wagon life with todays market 😂
For the love of jebus, just import the wagon already!
Please! Including the Trek variant, because I'm tragic like that.
@@chasingcars I wish they'd also make a liftback, like the good old days with the Seca. Back then, we had a Corolla hatch, liftback, sedan and wagon to choose from.
Mini Camry.
Camry = cardigan of the car world.
Why, still in 2022. Blind spot monitoring is still not included in the base model. Really really, disappointing. Oh well, bought one anyway, I will just adjust mirrors properly. You should atleast be able to fit Blind spot as an after market feature. Na! not offerred. Not sure of the marketing strategy. It's offered on the SX version, but then there is nothing else there which is really important to me.
the previous model looks better inside and outside.
I’m 5’ 10” and my head hits the roof.
You must be a very tall 5'10, because at 6' I had no problems.
I’m pretty sure you can raise and lower the seat
@@skalc Depends which seat the good Omega Lord is referring to. Driver's seat has height adjust…no other seat in the car does.
You have a short legs, and taller body lol
Yeah it feels a bit cramped .Honda Fit feels more roomy .
Nice yar
Hey guys, a suggestion: when Tom is showing the boot, maybe pop additional source of light insde the boot so it doesnt look like a black hole ua-cam.com/video/gxJeCTKHEkg/v-deo.html
Noted - thank you for the suggestion
☺️
The tail light looks out dated
Agreed, they look kind of bland
Yeah, I would've liked them to integrate an LED strip for the taillights, instead the brake lights double as the tail lights.
Good looking car, terrible wheels makes it look like a Ford from the 90's.
This is not a SEDAN TOP 500
Kia Cerato GT sedan over this lump of garbage. For about the same price you pay, you get much more. Looks so much classier. Not to mention the very warmed-up offering. Not sure why Tom thinks this Corolla is sporty to drive? Anyway don't waste your time on this folks... This is definitely an uber man's uber. Lol

Your jeans are too tight dude 😥
Been a while since we’ve had a jeans comment.
Those jeans are loose compared to the skinny jeans that most guys around his wear. Well at least in Ireland anyway
*meant to say around his age
very noisy engine :(
Why would you say a sedan is more practical than a hatchback? Also the rear of the sedan is ugly
No, I said it is more practical than a specific hatchback - the Corolla hatchback. As I mentioned, watch our video of that car to see what I mean.
Once you own BMW, AUDI or VW, there is no going back to something like Toyota or Hyundai( maybe I would buy Mazda ). I do like Lexus F range.. 😁
Lol BMW,Audi or VW money pits.
djolemerc sure buddy, stick to your corolla 😉
Good luck once you get over 100k kms.
Koch recently I’ve visited Germany,
and guess what, majority of cars there are German with high mileage...
Surely the best thing though is that you can now own a reliable Toyota without it being incredibly boring to drive
