2020 Toyota Corolla Hybrid Is More Than Just Efficient (And Easier On The Eyes Than Prius)

Toyota is doubling down on hybrid powertrains. It means the already thrifty Corolla now scores 52 MPG as a hybrid. That’s 19 MPG better. It’s also much more normal looking than Prius. Which one is right for you? Keep in mind, one is a hatchback, the other is a sedan. Both are built on the TNGA architecture. Tom Voelk checks out a fully loaded Corolla Hybrid though that’s not saying much since it’s only sold in the lower LE trim. It’s one gripe on a well done sedan. Oh, and a little bit of Henry.

Tom, 'Payback' time may vary but an 18 mpg (50%) bump is a really big deal in a commuter car. With a typical Toyota lifespan of 15-20 years, the fuel savings amounts to the volume of several swimming pools of gasoline NEVER being burned. Please note Android Auto is standard on the 2021 models. Lastly, did anyone else spot the aquamarine house at 1:14 ?

I get around 55-57 mpg. I drive 160 miles a day. About 98% highway. 62mph is the sweet spot on Cruise control. The engine turns off and uses the hybrid mode when it’s level ground or down hill. When not using cruise control you can use the electric motor alone with the engine off, up to 70 mph BUT you have to be progressive with the gas pedal. I bought mine in July 2021, I already have 15,000 miles! No regrets. I get about 550 miles per tank. Only has a 10 gallon gas tank.

In the UK the Corolla comes as a hatch, an estate(shootingbrake) in all trim levels and even a GR Sport trim. We also get a far more powerful 2.0ltr engine option too, as with the CHR. It seems ridiculous to me that Toyota has so little confidence in their products? I really don’t see the Prius lasting much longer here. Even the Yaris we get is completely different, from the ground up. That car is going to be available as a track focussed GR version with nearly 300bhp.

@rightlanehog3151 4 жыл бұрын

In the UK you have the good sense to build your own supply of Corolla hatches and wagons. Some of us are still hoping the far more practical estate comes to our continent. Toyota just announced the re-badged Mazda 2 (sold as a Yaris in recent years) will end with the 2020 model. I expect the new Yaris Cross will come to North America sooner rather than later to cater to the CUV craze. Toyota is adding Hybrid options to almost every model in their lineup so I am not sure if they really worry how many Prius they sell. The cheque for a Corolla, Camry or RAV4 Hybrid gets deposited in the same big, fat bank account.

@ccroy2001 4 жыл бұрын

I like the looks more than the Prius but the Prius would be better for me as an only vehicle (the hatch when you need it). I don't mind the LE trim cars are coming with more and more nice stuff standard anyways. I think it's good looking.

I suggest you take a closer look at the Prius. The exterior styling has improved drastically over the last few years and the interior is far nicer to look at, even at the base trim. They go all the way up to a Limited trim with leather heated seats and a variety of other amenities. Plus, the hatchback design is way more effective. I thought it was silly for Toyota to make another cheap hybrid car...

The 52 mpg rating equates to over 4.5 l/100km in the Aussie vernacular. But measured by Aussie standards the rating is about 3.6 l/100km, so clearly the USA standards are tougher and in fact more realistic. I am NO newcomer to milking a Toyota hybird for what its worth. At the moment, my new 2020 Hybrid Corolla sedan is achieving 3.9 l / 100km and I have had to work hard to achieve that. I am constantly monitoring whether I am coasting in EV mode (i.e. slightly recharging, applying brakes for an extended amount of time (i.e. heavier recharge effectiveness), deliberately accelerating from a standing start in a very careful manner, etc, etc. My point here is that by USA standards I can easily surpass the 52mpg without needing to work at it. By Australian standards, I'll never quite get there.

Hmmm that is a lot of extra to pay for the Hybrid variant. In Australia the difference is about under $1,500 AUD. And we get all the sensors included as standard in the SX model. With good negotiating skills you can pick up the 2020 Corolla hybrid sedan SX model for between $30K and $31K OTR depending upon the desperation of the sales agency. Brochure price I think is about $34K iirc.

@davids1816 4 жыл бұрын

This car reminds me that the term fuel efficient is a bit of a misnomer. I'm sure the hybrid is a bit more efficient with the % of energy in gasoline becoming forward motion. But mostly is uses less gas because it makes less power than a regular car does.

Driven gently to work and back im averaging 60-63 mpg han calculated and the dash says 64-68 mpg. Car is amazing on fuel i go 550 miles on 9 gallons of fuel all the time an i drive at least 5 over the speed limit and more on the highway...amazing car for the money, Toyota reliability is why i bought it. BTW i have a friend with same car non hybrid and i literally get 2x his mpg he gets 30-32 average ,my hybrid payoff will be way less than 8 years.

In my country we are prepared to pay a premium for steel alloy wheel rims. Sadly, the hybrid has these "aero caps" placed over the rims. So the alloy rims instead look like cheap plastic hub capped rims.

An example of Toyota (engineering cost saving) homogenisation which failed.

It doesn't have CVT transmission. It's E-CVT. No belts. No transmission actually.

You defend this car so much despite its endless shortcomings, cheapness and lack of options. No heated seats, really?

Is it true that it has to be flat bedded to tow it? I have one that says it is front wheel drive but I've heard that the rear wheels lock when towing from the front drive train.

How many times have you seen a Toyota Hybrid being towed?
