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.

I love mine ! I purchased my 2020 Corolla Hybrid January 2020 used for 19k - I love all the bells and whistles but I love saving on gas even more !!! So this hybrid is a winner in my book

I put my first 200 miles on one yesterday and it is SO smooth! I’m a low maintenance girl who doesn’t need heated seats or leather anyway. The dealership gave it to me for the price they paid for on their invoice 😀 good thing I use Apple!

The new Corolla hybrid sedan has just been launched in Australia and is expected to be a best seller,looks great

Great review, good level of detail, I’m buying this car in silver from my bro for 15k and only 4,000 miles.

Great video. Thank you so much! I helped me realize that I don't need a hybrid because I drive 10k miles per year only.

Remember guys, the higher gas prices go, the faster the Corolla Hybrid's price premium will be amortized. If gas goes up to $4.5/gal it will take only a little over 4 years for the Corolla Hybrid to start being more economical than the regular Corolla.

You said it takes 6.5 years to reach the break-even point when comparing the hybrid to the regular LE, how did you calculate that number? First of all, you should compare it to regular LE with the $2,000 Premium Package. This is because the hybrid has several additional premium features like the triple J LED headlights, alloy wheels, smart entry system with push button start, upgraded 7 inch driver info display, driving modes etc.

The hybrid is worth it because if you break even in 6 years, and you get a 6 year loan (common these days), it's the same amount spent per month. At the end you have a reliable, proven drive train that uses less gas and is smoother.

We just brought this right hand drive Australia it has spare tyre and the interior is different from this video it has leather accents. As so has good power overtook cars on the highway no problem goes good over 100kph. And has a wireless charger built in on centre console

Good review, I have the 2022, I drive a 100 miles A-day, It did OK I was Spending a $180 a week, 2 weeks in a row with this car I spent $44 per week, Only down fall is on open highway driving everyone passes me and I'm talking about everyone The gas motor is too small 2.3, 2.5 is better.

Good video! These cars are really interesting after all, even though it´s not a Volvo :) Keep up the good work!

Great video. I drive 11.6 miles a day 6 days a week to work and back. That's about 3.6k miles a year. Better yet @ $3/gallon that is about $200+/year just for work alone.

I believe it's a belt free engine so technically it's a maintenance free engine just oil changes

I have this car and I absolutely LOVE it!

Here in Colombia we also get a higher trim with leather, android auto (this one also in the base version), sunroof, temporary spare tire, soft touch materials, 2 zone climate control, the thingy in the rear camera view when you move the steering wheel, etc. No blind spot camera though.

Is the hybrid worth it. If you've ever driven a hybrid you would never want to drive a petrol motor again, they so much smoother and nicer to drive.

Best looking hybrid on the market, sleeper for fuel economy.

I say it's the most knowledgeable and comprehensive review and the least pretentious. New subscriber here, keep up with your good work!

If you're going to do a break-even analysis, you cannot just consider the cost of gas. Compared to the regular Corolla, maintenance will be lower and, because hybrids are better at retaining value, depreciation will be lower.

Umm, how about longevity of the vehicle... hybrid BY FAR. Also worth discussing, the transmission has a helical/planetary gear-set... will likely be one of the last things to wear out on the vehicle as to where its the first thing on most other vehicles. The Corolla Hybrid is one of the best value cars out on the road.

Will we see an updated review for the 2022 version with the premium package? It seems to make the interior more upscale and it would be good to hear your thoughts

Nice video. Got mine in 9/2019. For me, i don't care about "breaking even $" point yaliyada blahblahblah, I just want to burn as little f**king gas as possible. Next car will be EV for sure.

According to Toyota, the maintenance on the hybrids is far less than the gas-only versions. They don't require the same amount of fluid changes as the gas-only, and some hybrid owners have been reporting getting as much as 100k miles on the original set of brake pads. They did add in Android Auto and the option for power/heated Softex seating.

I’ve been thinking hard about this , I got a long daily commute, 170 miles round trip. I fill up every two days, roughly $600 a month in gas , with today prices average 3.70 gal

I was so close to wanting to buy this car, but the fact that it doesn't have a spare tire is a deal breaker for me. I find it way more convenient to install a spare instead of patching a hole the wrong way

"The gas pedal is basically useless..." LOL that's awesome!

Test drove it yesterday. Coming from 2014 corolla one thing right off the bat was how much quieter and smoother it was, especially at lower speeds ! Only wish they had a couple more inches of rear leg room and it'd have been a winner for me. 2014 corolla has 41 inches of rear seat legroom and dwarfs some mid size sedans. Next on the list is to test drive accord hybrid !

These gas estimates seem so shocking to me. I live in Anchorage Alaska and it takes me 30 minutes just to get to the other side of the municipality! If I want to visit my sister in the suburbs it's 20 miles. If I want to go to the town over it's 40 miles. I think a hybrid would help my gas spending more than $800.

I like mine so much...don't need to be in line at costco gas station...every 3~4 weeks, especially this challenging time with covid-10. No fancy stuffs, but very reliable. The only complaint is not able to use Android Auto. I don't know what Toyota was thinking. Other than that, i am enjoying my corolla hybrid.

I love the shade for Miata/brz drivers lmao

Very good review !!!

Liked the video. Nice point of view of the car.

Not sure why you would compare to base Corolla L. You need to compare to an LE with the option package that has Smart Key to be most equivalent. Then the price difference isn’t as dramatic. Also, the hybrid drives much nicer at low speeds. 0-30mph in city traffic feels much faster in the hybrid. Also, you save on brake pads in stop and go driving due to the regenerative braking. Original brakes will last many times longer on the hybrid. If you drive in mostly city traffic, you will only get around 25 mpg in the LE sedan vs around 55 mpg in the hybrid. Less than half the fuel. On the highway, there might “only” be an 8-10 mpg difference. Your math also depends on gas prices staying the same for 6 years. Hybrid is a no brainer choice for anyone who mostly drives on surface streets.

I just bought this car on the drive home from buying it I got 64.5 MPG that wasn’t on the info screen (it said 66.2 MPG) that was at the pump 400 miles burned 6.2 gallons of gas

I bought the car its really good but the only problem is that the backdoors are small

I've been driving 50 yr and never had heated seats. The old Corolla only had a 1.4 engine, how is the 1.8 not fast enough

Thanks for the great video! I'll be looking to buy towards the end of August, beginning of September. My past two cars have been Toyota hybrids. First one was still running fine at 289,000 miles when I traded it in for a Prius C in 2013. Now my 2013 Prius C has nearly 250,0000 miles on it - not even 7 years later (got it in December). With both hybrids never had any issue with the battery and kept the original battery in both cars.

Purchased one from Mid State Toyota in Asheboro NC in November 2019 and so far ive enjoyed it mainly for the calm traffic nights when no ones on the road so i could go 45mph to stay on electric as much as possible. Also got lifetime warranty on engine/ transmission. as for battery theres plces that can replace the bad cells when that time comes. dealer said anywhere from 400 to 1000 depending on how many are not good.

Just to mention that not everyone will want heated seats as we live in areas with great weather. Great car !!

excellent review

Nice review. Thank you

Texas is about 900 miles across I-10 when I had the prettiest I was always able to get about 10 to 12 miles per gallon more than the EPA but then again like her never saw anything about 50 miles per hour on the interstate

Good looking car. I would try out for couple days to see economy and performance. Compare to my focus ecoboost 1l 125ps I can average minimum 46 mpg

Great Job Thank You

I paid about $20k including tax for my Prius C back in 2014. and now it's been DC. That's why I'm here. Don't they call these brakes Regen? Nowadays it got so advanced they call it one-pedal drive for EV car with different regen settings.

What I don't understand is how can't this get any better gas mileage than the Camry Hybrid with 2.5L engine that has 204hp combined? Not to mention it is only $5K more than this thing.

What if I use for 🚕 taxi ...? I'm trying to trade my Toyota Corolla2017 with Toyota Corolla hybrid 2021

how much do i pay a month if i lease the car avoiding the scam

if i want a navi system on this car, what option do i have? paying subscription of entune?

all the cons you said are the pros for most of the good divers

0-60 ? MLs per KW ? KW ? Suspension ?

The bad thing is don’t have sun roof it is totally fucked up

The battery dies at 80,000?

Great drivers Ed vehicle

Hi is this car good for ride sharing?

How quick is it in Sport Mode? Does it make a (noticeable) difference if you were merging and needed a little extra “get up and go” for those few times when you may need it? I like the Insight but the fact that this has a spare tire is a plus. The fuel mileage on the Corolla Hybrid is amazing too, definitely worth a look.

anybody own a toyota corolla hybrid here? does it have Toyota's legendary reliability or are there a little more problems than normal?

Is 120hp enough to go up hills? Does the back seats fold down completely flat?

You’re driving the car in a spirited way contrary to the way the car is intended to be driven. Obviously your trying to highlight its handling, but again that’s the design paradigm of the car.

the the corolla 300 lbs lighter than the pruis I think the mileage is better they are fudging the numbers if you look online at fuelly corolla is 1mpg ahead

TOYOTA should be put better paint in this corolla my car is only 15 days old and have chips in the paint . I am a very careful person with my car if you want a scratched car in few days buy corolla same thing happened with my 2015 .

My wife averages 60.5 mpg in the 2021 I got for her.

Can you choose to use the electric battery and not use any gas while you drive ? And save the gas when the battery is dead or too low to drive ?

Lovely honest I hated my hybrid gave it back it was used broke down the first day 🙃 thanks don't buy hybrid

Deciding between this and Mazda3

Is it made in the US or Japan?

Good review, but this car has been assembled really shitty, even though they did it in Japan. The plastic panels tapping, the passenger’s door started make a noice after 6 month driving. The torpedo consist of 3 different type of material, they all black, but different black 🤦‍♂️ Resume: nice dynamics, great fuel consumption, but feels so cheap inside.

Nice review.....

Why this review comparing a hybrid to a luxury or a big engine car. Unintelligent review this car is made to save not to race or look for luxury feature. Smh

Just get the Camry LE hybrid... it’s just as economical, its much faster and has more features

Who in this day and age cares about 0 - 60 times?!

HOW LONG DOES THE BATTERY LAST YEARS/MILES BEFORE IT HAS TO BE CHANGED

IS IT A GOOD CAR TO USE AS A LYFT/UBER DRIVER

I agree with your review... I was disappointed with acceleration.. It's too much of compromise for fuel economy

How much does it cost to add a good after market blind spot warning system?

I like it

no bsm is a no go for me

my new kia ceed 1.5t does 55 mpg. can someone please explain why anyone would buy a hybrid? you gain nothing. you also have to buy new batteries costing 8000 usd in 8 to 10 years time. my friend just bought one and says it does 50 mpg rotfl. worse than my new kia. WHAT A WASTE OF TIME. it's just a con to fleece u of cash

everything about this car had me until no android auto. That is something it should be mandatory.

Great review. No Android auto? That's so sad!

There should be no oil change required on the eCVT transmission so you will save some money on expensive automatic transmission oil there.

Would a guy my size fit? 6'3 250lbs

Lacking some good stuff

Those shitty rims gotta go ! 🌊🏄

This car is small inside, thin tires for easy flats, check engine trash car.
