I'm in New Jersey and there are really horribly rough roads in this state. I use Lyft a good amount of time and every Toyota Corolla I've been in has rode exceptionally comfortably over rough roads. I think the ride quality is excellent, borderline outstanding. You have to hit something really broken or a deep pothole to really feel anything serious in the Corolla. The hybrids are very quiet around town. It's got good room, it's solid. To me, it's a great vehicle.
I'm picking up my first '23 Corolla Hybrid this weekend. I drive about 300 miles a day as a courier, and I'm looking into seeing how much I save on gas with the hybrid. This will be my 3rd Corolla in two years, all are great cars!
I'm going to tomorrow to put a deposit for the exact car tomorrow. Which state are you in, and how much is going to cost you, with added fees and markups, but without taxes?
I’m a big fan of Toyota. I’ve had a Corolla, and I presently have a Prius. The best car overall. Great gas mileage, dependable reliable with function. Just passed 350k mikes and it’s still going strong 💪🏼 I’m looking forward to making 400k miles 😃👍🏼
So I paid 30k otd and love it so far but it feels like build quality has gone down from my previous Toyota, everything feels more flimsy and cheap, the back of the seats don’t even have slips to put things in, all of the plastics are nice but it seems quality has gone down to reduce costs. I’m wondering if there was a better car for the price I paid, but at the same time dealerships are out of stock and used cars are the only options
This is one of the cheaper toyotas out there. Even if you got a nicer trim level, it's still a cheap car so maybe the quality reflects this. Not many cars below 30k now... Maybe a new prius would have been better, it seems the interior is more luxurious
The Elantra Hybrid Limited trim is 30K. I imagine after extended warranty, gap, etc. you'd be 32-35 OTD. The only thing better about Toyota Hybrids is the warranty on the battery.
'Dealer Add Ons', Possible Convenience Pkg, and Destination Charge. If it doesn't have the CP...whoever buys this needs to get those add ons removed in negotiations.
I saw many 2023 Corolla hybrid promotions and the multi-information display designs are different from every 2023 Corolla hybrid, is that an option that the buyer has the option to choose from?
How is the CVT. Have they fixed the sluggish accelleration as well as noise when you descend a steep hill with your foot on the brake so you don't brake the speed limit. Also is BSM standard.
@@alvinsimba734 Where are they built my friend. I think I need to write a letter to Toyota Australia and find out as to why we still don't have it as standard in 2023. I have to get it as an option in the sedan. I think finally in the hatch it's standard. Go figure.
I live in Phoenix. My 2010 Prius fell apart so I traded it for the 2923 KE corolla hybrid last Saturday. I do door dash. So far, I'm averaging 52.2 Miles per gallon, Mostly city, some freeway. I don't baby it either, I just drive it the way I would any other car.
Not actually. You can buy BOlt EUV which is fully electric range of 230 miles for around $28k after EV tax credits. To make matters worse toyota and their dealers are adding market adjustment of aroung 4k-5k usd in form of unnecessary accessories.
I'll take the Elantra hybrid over the Corolla hybrid. Corolla still gives rental car vibes. Elantra is more Audi-esqe and sportier in design and offer way more premium features.
Hyundai ain't what it used to be. I've heard horror stories about them finding ways to not honor their warranty requiring owners to seek legal help. Also note that the Elantra fold down rear seats don't allow as large a trunk pass through as the Corolla does. A pair of ski's are no problem, but anything much larger is a no go. Also Hyundai is several years behind Toyoto in hybrid technology. if you're comparing ICE cars both are good, but for a Hybrid, Toyota has the edge. I owned an ICE Elantra a few years ago and it was a fine car until I hit a slick road and got into a skid that I couldn't get out of. Maybe the cars weight distribution was to blame, but the car was totalled.
Both nice. Corolla is a bit more comfortable overall. Elantra is stylish but some may find the exterior over-styled. Inside, the Elantra may have a few more questionable materials.
I had a Honda Civic and a Honda Accord. I will NEVER buy another Honda. Nothing but issues on both of them. I have a 2010 Scion tC now and haven't had to do anything but change the oil.

Glad to see a comprehensive, no-nonsense review of a model that an average buyer would actually be looking at. Nicely done!
Great job! I just picked up an LE Hybrid (my first one), so I’m super excited to drive it. Thanks for the demo and review. Great job.
Do you like it so far?
The 2023 Corolla Hybrid was just recently updated to 138 hp. The Toyota website currently reflects this change.

Let me know if you think it’s any quieter inside while driving it.
Updates?
Just bought this car today, loving it so far!!
Congratulations on the purchase glad you are enjoying it
Just ordered a 2023 Corolla hybrid LE AWD.....Supposed to be in around late February.....Can't wait to start getting fantastic mpg.

Thank you very much Drive On Reviews for reviewing the base trim, as not everybody can afford anything more expensive these days.
Thank you for this review of the base trim model. Very informative and well done!!
Trunk "hinges to crush your cargo" 😂 LMAO the way you say it like it's the main function of the hinge, but it's true and appreciate that warning.
You did a really nice review. Way more in depth like the steering wheel. I appreciate it greatly. Thank you. Excellent review
Great review. Keep up the good work 😊👍🏿

Does it have lane centering? It is really important for long drives.
It does
Lovely car - thinking of going smaller ….from a VW Tiguan SE to Corolla like this. ~ Nice Review~
How did we get from 22k to 25k so fast? What's going on?
'Dealer Add Ons', Possible Convenience Pkg, and Destination Charge.

What’s a goood out the door price Corolla le hybrid
Hi I wanted to ask isn’t all models of this car push start? How come this one is key start

BSM is not standard on the LE trim but it is an optional add on.
BSM is standard on all COROLLAs in Canada since 2019

If you get a good full warranty this car is bulletproof, yeah its not fast but it will last 20+ years id taken care of
Thanks, great review.
134 HP is not correct, the Toyota web says 138 hp.
Nice review. Thank you.
I ordered one. What’s the real life fuel economy for this car? Does it over or underachieve estimated number?

correction, I got a 2023, not a 2923. [that would be a good trick]

Hey Darius! If you're shopping for a compact hybrid vehicle, which one will you choose between an Elantra Hybrid or Corolla Hybrid?
Hey I would definitely say Corolla just not in the base trim
@@DriveOnReviews I agree. Corolla Hybrid XLE gets the same MPG as the base hybrid LE.
@@toronado455 Only drawback to the XLE is if you want AWD you have to go backwards to the SE.....I think I'm getting me a 2023 SE AWD next year.
Yota website has the tailights and stop lights listed as LED.

I'll take the Elantra hybrid over the Corolla hybrid. Corolla still gives rental car vibes. Elantra is more Audi-esqe and sportier in design and offer way more premium features.
Corolla will last longer, has lower maintenance costs, higher resale value.
@@toronado455 Blah, blah, blah! My Uncle drives a 10 year old Hyundai Azera that has over 180k miles. No problems at all.

Elantra is overstyled and not as reliable. I pick the KING which is Corolla.
Both nice. Corolla is a bit more comfortable overall. Elantra is stylish but some may find the exterior over-styled. Inside, the Elantra may have a few more questionable materials.
