The Corolla is a great car with a really wonderful, absorbent ride quality and solid structure. I don't like that some reviewers dismiss it as an "appliance." For me it's a sophisticated small sedan. It's a pleasure to watch someone review this who appreciates how good it is.

Chris, I feel duty bound to remind your loyal Subscribers that Toyota USA and Toyota Canada refuse to sell us the Hybrid Corolla Hatch and Wagon which are both made with an AWD option and sold in markets which are far less worthy than ours! 🤨
@@TheTopher How long did we have to ask for a more affordable Land Cruiser before we finally got one? Let's wear down their resistance to selling us the Corolla Hybrid hatch and wagon. 😉
Honestly, if the hybrid hatch were available, I very well might have gone for it over my GTI. GTI won over ICE Corolla hatch because - well - of course it did.
You might want something a bit bigger for a family car. But the Corolla is probably the best in the compact segment. My girlfriend has a XSE corolla hatchback, such a good little car. Great gas mileage, practical, comfy and fun to drive. There’s just not a better car under the 25k price point than a Toyota Corolla.
I wish you guys got our European wagon version. It has a massive boot (598l with the 1.8 hybrid and 581l with the 2.0 hybrid) along with a longer wheelbase (same as sedan I think) so decent rear legroom. And styling wise I’d say it comes a close second to the hatchback.
@@mattonaircraft28 yeah, but we don’t buy Wagons in America anymore, crossovers have become the most popular option, that’s why they gave us the Corolla Cross which is basically a lifted Corolla hatchback.
Maybe it's the way I drive, or the fact I live in a dense urban area....but the 46/53 mpg is far below what I'm getting from my 2023 Corolla Hybrid. I'm getting closer to 53/57 on average and I drive a LOT. My current average for the last month has been 56.5 mpg.
I test drove a Camry and a Corolla back-to-back in 2016. The Camry's handling was so bad and the car was so uninspiring overall, that to this day I swear I'll never buy one. It seems it was almost traumatizing. Meanwhile, the Corolla put a big smile on my face. It was a perfect little car. I bought a Ford Fusion because I thought I should get something more grown up. I wish I would've bought the Corolla. That Ecoboost Fusion had transmission and engine failure at 120,000 miles, leaving me with no trade-in.
I had a 2015 Camry, same as 2016. I think the biggest thing I hated about it was how unpredictable it was. Throttle response was either good or bad, depending on how the computer felt that split second. The body roll was non-linear, meaning there was no way to predict how badly it would roll in the corners. Sometimes it would be cornering decently, then throw itself into body roll mid-corner. And it felt very unstable on the highway.
Just a tip, could you maybe do an Audacity pass of the audio and cut out some of the lows? They would probably sound a lot better because the subwoofer doesn't drown out the mids (if you have one).
I feel the same way. I have a 2013 Corolla and it's by far the greatest car I ever owned. It only has 149k miles. My son wants it in five years when he starts driving. So maybe then I will upgrade but I can't seem to let it go but this one in the video sure is appealing.
I have a 2012 Corolla Sport, 227,000 miles with no major issues. I too want to upgrade but my car is paid off and I know it’ll likely last a while longer. My next car will likely be a Mazda 3 hatch, or a Corolla hatch
Very nice review. Just what you need to know. I have a 24 LE version, drives just like this... a more conventional gauge cluster with speedo and tach, which I prefer. Driving this reminds me of my Triumph TR4 from the 70s... lots of fun. My last fill up I got 60mpg. What's not to like?
I just bought a 2023 Prius XLE AWD and will have to say to me if your all about maximum fuel savings, styling and performance then Prius is the car to get. I get so far between 53 and 61 mpg depending on where I go and how I drive. If you just want to save money on gas and don't care about styling and performance the. Corrola is hybrid to get. I couldn't be happier with Prius. The Prius I bought is amazing. Fuel efficiency with sporty looks, performance and handling. To me Prius is worth the extra money and prefer a hatchback. More versatile.. The Prius to me is also maybe the Lexus version of the Corolla hybrid. Recently bought some wheel locks for Prius and they were a Lexus part. New corrola hybrid like improved previous Gen Prius. New Prius is on steroids compared to new corrola. Hybrid. Not sure I can explain any other way
The Prius is on back order and all dealerships in my state have reserve lists for 8 months. You will be paying for extra packages tacked onto a lower trim Prius in order to buy one. There is no LE base Prius for 29 grand, fairytale. Whoever compares this to a Carolla hybrid is thinking in a perfect world scenario. I am about to finance a Carolla hybrid SE fwd because there are no AWD’s and it’s the max price I will go, 28.5k after tax. $5000 down from my totaled Tacoma, I pay 450$ per month. Whoever is paying over $500-$600 a month with these 6-7% plus interest rates are above there means or making well beyond the avg income in America. Not a buyers market in the slightest.
@@GhostRider_237 1.4T. I’ve driven numerous of them on longer trips for work and have never averaged less than 43 mpg. I think the power, and torque is enough reason to get it over the Corolla. Will it be more reliable? No but that’s fine.
My Elantra hybrid blue gets 55mpg+ in regular driving and 60mpg+ if I baby it, and you don’t have to wait for months to get one because of Toyotas artificial inventory bull crap and you won’t be fighting off a $3000 markup either. New Toyotas ain’t worth the trouble imo
The toyota markups are killing me. I wouldn't mind the new grand highlander but a) impossible to find and b) if you do find one, markups. It's just a toyota, i'm not paying over MSRP!!
Up until about 2 weeks ago, I had been waiting for one of these for nearly a year. I finally said FU to Toyota and bought a brand new Honda off the lot. Toyota makes some good cars, but not at all interested in playing their games.
A friend said similar things about his new Elantra in 2009 vs. my 2009 Corolla LE. 215,000 miles later, my Corolla is working fine and it's been what, 7 or 8 years now since his Elantra died. There's a reason people pursue the Corolla over other options.
I bought a 2016 eco Corolla. After spending thousands and thousands of dollars with an Audi A4 1.8liters turbo. I don't regret trading in my Audi for my 39 thousand miles engine Toyota Corolla. I 💕 it!!!!!!
Do you do all city? Are you a hyper miler? How do you get 63 miles per gallon? What exactly is your hybrid a current model corolla? The mpg numbers went down for 2023 model
@@jonathanratliff4780 I have the 2021 corolla hybrid. I think mine gets a bit more mpg on the highway. I do 80% highway and 20% city. I’m in no way a hyper miler. I currently use eco and have been running the A/C a lot since it’s summer. As well as I don’t baby the gas peddle.
I just wana point out that the rear looks horribly bad on this car. Its as if the back side was designed by a different person from the entire car. Doesn't go with the front look at all, the front looks brilliant, but the back looks like very cheap Indian compact car And it's not like toyota is unable to do proper design matching, the corolla on the Chinese market for example looks much better. They've kept the same front look but the rear looks much more slick and purposely done ___ I really don't get there design decisions.
I what one oddly. I’ve always had a sporty car but with the way my life is now this fits the bill more than ever. I also just want it to be around 10+ years
Must be nice having interior colour options. Here in Aus we never get anything else besides black on black. Didn't even know the Corolla could come in a white interior.
I picked up my now-wife for our first date in a new Corolla I bought just a week before that. She said she never even noticed what car it was, just that it was new. Sadly the 'rolla didn't impress too much
After watching several review videos on this generation Corolla, both gas and hybrid models..then finally going out and test driving both models, I feel sorry for the suckers that bought these. Everything in the interior looked and (especially) felt cheap. The exterior styling is downright ugly (which I know Toyota hasn't been the best in terms of exterior and interior styling) and they're overpriced for what you get. Other brands have caught up to Toyota in terms of dependability and practicality.
I agree the interior on this car feels extremely cheap (thought the same for the Camry and RAV4 too). These new Toyotas have definitely been cheapened.
Where's the infotainment and average/instant/trip mpg and distance showcase? Those are a must-have on a hybrid car POV, given that keeping track of/saving mpg stats is the whole point of owning one.
Toyota uses the cheapest paint and thinnest metal possible. I take my 2010 Mazda 3 through automatic car washes all the time and its paint has no swirls. Same with my 2004 dodge ram 1500
For a daily, the mpg and quality you can’t beat. The one gripe I have is how loud the engine sounds. Other than that it would be perfect for its intended use.
@@dabiri69 Is this beeping because of the seatbelt? It's acceptable i guess. In my current car without the belt the beeping begins after certain speed and gets louder over time.
@@klever6913 I bought a 23 Camry a few months ago and wasn’t even looking at this back then. These are quite cheaper but I like my current car most likely won’t trade or downgrade
drive better in terms of comfort? no. the camry has always been the more comfortable vehicle to drive over the corolla. its been designed that way since the beginning. drive better in terms of performance? no. camry's base engine is the 2.5 inline 4. its got more power/torque. hybrid models are a plus for mpg.
It looks quite cheap for being top trim. Toyota has too many lineup sitting on top of each other. Resulting in being cheap out on some, Corolla Hybrid XLE for instance. At the same price you could get - Corolla Cross Hybrid S, Corolla Cross LE, Prius LE, Corolla XSE, or Camry LE. There are only a few nuances between all of them, but they don't need to fill all the gap by making Corolla Hybrid or many models. They could just make good Prius LE (equip more essential features in LE) or just get rid of regular gas Corolla and start focusing on just hybrid models. What's missing in Corolla & Corolla Cross that I think it should have - bigger screen or smaller bezel (both), parking sensors (Corolla XLE), arm rest for rear seat in lower trim (Cross), smart key for all trims, heated seats for SE and up (LE and up for Cross), and optional auto dimming rear view mirror in lower trims. I also prefer the speedometer to be able to display a gauge too, not just digital number with RPM gauge. It feels so pointless having a 7" screen for speedometer, but the whole screen is filled with RPM gauge. It doesn't make any sense.
@@jonathanratliff4780 if we’re gonna about the one I bought, yeah, there’s a ton to unpack. Replaced quarter panel, blower motor, and airbag recall. All of these required me to go to different dealers and multiple times because they said they didn’t see the problems until I wrote them how to identify problems. Blower motor alone made me had to go back to dealers 5 times before they said they could hear the abnormal noise I was referring to. Problem much with my complaints?
@@tant.5864 maybe they don’t make them like they used to. Had my 09 Corolla since new. Have 292,000 miles on it and other than all normal maintenance which I do rather extensively to keep it in great shape had to replace a oil pressure switch about 20,000 miles ago and also some light bulbs here and there that’s been it
The Civic has a more advanced hybrid drivetrain and better steering feel. But its a bit more expensive. But then again it is a hatchback so better practicality.

Other brands have caught up to Toyota in terms of dependability and practicality.
I agree the interior on this car feels extremely cheap (thought the same for the Camry and RAV4 too). These new Toyotas have definitely been cheapened.
Bro these corollas last forever.
The New Hyundai Sonata I think will outdo Toyota’s lineup of sedans
I much rather have a V6 Camry than anything Hyundai produces. Hyundai’s build quality and powertrains are sketchy sometimes.
😂
@@BoldBrandFlakesI love the v6 too, but I think the 9th gen Camry coming next year will probably ditch it sadly
@@BoldBrandFlakes yeah but Toyota is currently pushing towards complete hybrid vehicles and frankly ion fwi
Where's the infotainment and average/instant/trip mpg and distance showcase? Those are a must-have on a hybrid car POV, given that keeping track of/saving mpg stats is the whole point of owning one.
more off-roading videos?
Do you guys get the 190hp 2.0 version of the Corolla hybrid?
We do not get the 2.0 Hybrid or the Hybrid hatch or wagon.
yeah its called the prius
Nice car nice car😊
The paint is swirled like no other, but looks nice overall
Automatic car washes absolutely destroy paint in no time lol
Toyota uses the cheapest paint and thinnest metal possible. I take my 2010 Mazda 3 through automatic car washes all the time and its paint has no swirls. Same with my 2004 dodge ram 1500
For a daily, the mpg and quality you can’t beat. The one gripe I have is how loud the engine sounds. Other than that it would be perfect for its intended use.
Not loud 🤡
The beeping at startup is annoying.
Can it be turned off or the volume scaled down?
My Auris doesn't have this nonsense.
Have your seatbelt buckled before you turn on the car
@@dabiri69 Is this beeping because of the seatbelt? It's acceptable i guess. In my current car without the belt the beeping begins after certain speed and gets louder over time.
@@andyspark5192 yeah this car beeps for both occasions too
Does this drive better than the new Camry?
I’d wait for the all new Camry 2025. If you’re buying a car now, I think the Corolla Hybrid would be the more economical choice.
@@klever6913 I bought a 23 Camry a few months ago and wasn’t even looking at this back then. These are quite cheaper but I like my current car most likely won’t trade or downgrade
drive better in terms of comfort? no. the camry has always been the more comfortable vehicle to drive over the corolla. its been designed that way since the beginning. drive better in terms of performance? no. camry's base engine is the 2.5 inline 4. its got more power/torque. hybrid models are a plus for mpg.
Where funny music?
literally the most overrated car
It looks quite cheap for being top trim. Toyota has too many lineup sitting on top of each other. Resulting in being cheap out on some, Corolla Hybrid XLE for instance. At the same price you could get - Corolla Cross Hybrid S, Corolla Cross LE, Prius LE, Corolla XSE, or Camry LE. There are only a few nuances between all of them, but they don't need to fill all the gap by making Corolla Hybrid or many models. They could just make good Prius LE (equip more essential features in LE) or just get rid of regular gas Corolla and start focusing on just hybrid models. What's missing in Corolla & Corolla Cross that I think it should have - bigger screen or smaller bezel (both), parking sensors (Corolla XLE), arm rest for rear seat in lower trim (Cross), smart key for all trims, heated seats for SE and up (LE and up for Cross), and optional auto dimming rear view mirror in lower trims. I also prefer the speedometer to be able to display a gauge too, not just digital number with RPM gauge. It feels so pointless having a 7" screen for speedometer, but the whole screen is filled with RPM gauge. It doesn't make any sense.
Any more complaints? lol
@@jonathanratliff4780 if we’re gonna about the one I bought, yeah, there’s a ton to unpack. Replaced quarter panel, blower motor, and airbag recall. All of these required me to go to different dealers and multiple times because they said they didn’t see the problems until I wrote them how to identify problems. Blower motor alone made me had to go back to dealers 5 times before they said they could hear the abnormal noise I was referring to. Problem much with my complaints?
@@tant.5864 maybe they don’t make them like they used to. Had my 09 Corolla since new. Have 292,000 miles on it and other than all normal maintenance which I do rather extensively to keep it in great shape had to replace a oil pressure switch about 20,000 miles ago and also some light bulbs here and there that’s been it
@@tant.5864 oh yes and also about 100,000 miles ago and number two cylinder ignition coil replaced
@@hassyg4083 No it’s just that I’m a tightwad I like saving money
The Civic has a more advanced hybrid drivetrain and better steering feel. But its a bit more expensive.
But then again it is a hatchback so better practicality.
