Just out of curiosity, how do you give the Prius a .5 point for having 19” wheels vs the 16” wheels on the Corolla? The 19” will have a worse ride, the tires will be more expensive to replace, and the Prius with 19” wheels actually has worse fuel economy than the Prius with smaller wheels.

Agreed,one of the main reasons for buying a Toyota is the low cost of ownership. Replacing 19” tires is expensive, I’d rather have 17” wheels.

I will take the corolla hybrid . Nice video. ❤

I'm surprised you didn't mention visibility. Unless I missed it. The new Prius has atrocious visibility. Sitting in one for 10 minutes I felt completely blind compared to the Corolla. You can't see out the back window, the side windows are all squinted and probably 4-5" shorter than the Corolla windows, and the steering wheel blocks the gauge cluster (why?!). This factor alone made my decision easy, when I had been torn between the two.

if only corolla hybrid is hatchback!!

The dealer markup for Prius is just insane. Haven't seen a Prius below 40k in my region, and many are way over 50k. For Corolla, I only saw one dealer with 1k "paint protection" bs, and the rest all have none.

I have the Priud and Ive grown so yired of people saying the HUD doesnt work. I love it. Nothing is blocking it. Its easily readsble. The wheel size is even adjusted to ensure this. Do people not know that both the whel and seat are adjustable? Sheesh.

The Cross Hybrid is another choice; less mpg but more utility. In a few months there will be Civic Hybrid which is another excellent choice.

I don't know why reviews/comparisons are so often of higher trim levels. Especially when it comes to the Prius, because it is all about fuel efficiency and the base LE model has the best MPG. I don't want to know about the more expensive and less efficient trim levels.

Really enjoyed your review. I feel like you hit the nail on a head with given 1 point per 1grand for corolla. Agree with some other people that prius started to position itself pricewise closer to camry than corolla. Was offered recently to buy brand new camry xse hybrid for about 36.5k out of the door. And if I would be faced with decision camry or prius I would opt for camry unless parking in a narrow areas is a constant headache. I feel that both cars attract people due to being hybrids and people mostly care about bottom line than about "sexy" factor. For around 6k you are buying probably 3 years worth of fuel. At the end of the day both cars will likely hold a decent resale value given toyota and hybrid names attached to them. I would likely myself buy a Corolla,but will give a credit to nice exterior and interior or new prius. If the price difference would be around 2k, I would opt for prius given hatchback design and its practicality.

I’d go for the Prius, however is the windshield on the Prius NOT distorted due to its extreme rake angle?

I like the Toyota Corolla but I also do like the news and sexy Toyota Prius and for this one I would probably go for the Toyota Corollas even OD Toyota Prius does have a nice designed I would still have to pick the Corolla cuz there's no options and stuff

Picking up my Prius next week, so this was some nice confirmation bias 😂

Corolla hybrid the better overall value. Wish they brought over the Corolla hatchback hybrid.

Think of all the gas the $6k would pay for if you get the Corolla. About 1,500 gallons figured at $4.00 per gallon. If economy and cost are your ultimate goals the Corolla is the clear winner.

The comparison should be between Prius and Camry

Add $1200 for snow tires for the Pruis. The Corolla will get by with all season or all weather tires year round. Also old bodies want to know about comfortable seats.

Nice job guys! Good to see you younger guys dissecting cars and making comparisons. Looks like a case of getting what you pay for to some degree. Not sure how big your hill was for the 0-60 pull in the Corolla, but it seemed to labor. With today's faster traffic (and EV's too), too much sluggishness is a liability in some situations. If you don't want to spend that much on a car, the Corolla will also be inexpensive to own and maintain, hold it's value, and likely be trouble free. Been reading some whispers that the Prime (plug in hybrids) from even Toyota are having some reliability issues. Unfortunate. Keep up with your work and if you ever get a chance to network with guys like Zygrene, The Topher, Engineering Explained, Savage Geese and Everyday Driver, jump on it. Great to have a car community for people who view cars as more than appliances (although this test leans that way, but even appliance like cars have a role).

It also looks like the Corolla has LED turn signals on the side mirrors while the Prius has none.

The exterior of the Prius is beautiful but it totally loses it when it comes to the dashboard. It looks so cheap and awkward, I’d rather have the dashboard of the Corolla in the Prius.

They have the Corolla for 27k in my town going to get asap. Cant wait to have a car that is good on gas 🙌🏾. Going to save so much money if the gas prices go up agin 💸 ‼️

Paid 21k for my 2005 Prius in 4/05, still driving it

Nice review. Technically, well done with the split screen comparing the same segments of two different models. Useful and well done. Some addl commentary: Your choice to review the top of line Corolla hybrid vs prius, slants the deck. My suggestion: Review the LE Corolla. I got one for $24.5k, which should give a few more points to Corolla. Also: My current ACTUAL gas mileage is 57-62 mpg, which is better than you reported for either car. More points for Corolla. Also, on my LE I have the traditional non LED tach and speedo, and other gauges. I prefer this to the electronic stuff, which I find less precise and less readable. This would make a better contrast for your review. Neither car comes with a spare tire or jack, but there is a place for one in Corolla, and I have purchased a set. You should mention that.

Have you considered comparing the 2023 Prius prime limited with the 2023 bmw 330e? It’s probably two different classes of cars but it would be interesting.

As much as I'd like to get the Prius over the Corolla, the shortages and dealer markup make it next to impossible to recommend getting over the Corolla.

It is a hard choice between the 2, but with careful consideration between the 2 and their prices, I would have to choose the 2024 Rolls Royce Phantom or a 2024 Bentley. Tell me if I've made the right choice between the 2 because it is a hard decision between Corolla and Prius.

Prius all daaaaaaay🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The Prius looks awesome...

I was curious about both of these cars. I ordered a Prius LE AWD. I am not interested in top trim line in a car, ever! Would be nice to see a review of a trim line more common with what people actually want.

Excellent comparison. First, a correction. The cars that are out are 2023 vehicles. 2024 vehicles come out at the end of this year. Your video mentions 2024. Second, I have had the Prius for the last 5 generations. I switched in 2020 to the Toyota Corolla Hybrid. I always lease my vehicles every 3 to 4 years. As a commuter car, it was fantastic. Only available in the LE trim in 2020. It was around $23000 . I intended to get a Toyota Corolla Hybrid XLE fully loaded for about $29000 in 2023 when my lease was up. Then I went to the Jacob Javits Auto Show in New York and saw the new Prius. It blew me away. It looks like a Lamborghini. All dealers in the Northeast where I live are getting $4000 to $8000 over sticker. They are arriving at about one Prius to each dealership monthly. They only come with all wheel drive at about $1500 extra. My Prius XLE with all wheel drive and moon roof and the 12 inch info screen ( the latter is a must visually) came in at about $36000. I paid sticker. The color I received is a premium color and is, in my opinion, the most visually attractive one..the hot red color. The price difference of between the Toyota Hybrid Corolla and the Toyota Hybrid Prius exceeds $8000. It is worth every penny. I have been told by my dealership that there is a 12 month wait for the Prius. In the 2 months I have had the vehicle I have been stopped by over a dozen people, including those with the previous generation Prius who have given me a thumbs up. 👍 Practically speaking on a cost comparison and for commuting to work, the Toyota Hybrid Corolla is the way to go, but the Toyota Prius Hybrid is a once in a lifetime opportunity that people compare to a Tesla and Lamborghini if you can find one! Grant

Great video, love the side by side comparisons.

The biggest drawback for the Corolla is that it’s a sedan. The least practical car form ever. Please Toyota bring back the Corolla wagon!

I have a 2018 Camry hybrid, which I love! I was thinking as my next car, I would get the new Prius. Now, I'm not too sure. Thanks for the review! When my Camry was in the shop, I was issued a Corolla hybrid as a loaner while mine was being fixed. I liked it.

getting the prime version is the way to go for highest MPG. I have a 2017 Prius Prime and I am getting 220+ MPG because it's my commuter car. We get about 30 miles of EV range .

Thanks for another great video. In a year from now if the inventory situation improves, please do a Prius le fwd vs Corolla le fwd. If I buy one, it would be with as little options as possible.

If your ultimate goal is MPG, get the corolla. I feel like they lost sight of the Prius's core goal of efficiency in this generation, it should have been getting at least 60mpg combined. Also, it would take you a very long time to recover the price difference in fuel savings.

Excellent comparison as always!😸

I just put a deposit down today on a Corolla XLE Hybrid with JBL stereo at sticker. I wanted a Prius limited or even an XLE with the 12.3 in screen and JBL but to get either you would first have to incur a dealer mark up, er adjustment of $3,500 here in SoCA plus all the factory and dealer add ons making it over $8K than the Corolla. Lastly, I could not see the cluster through the steering wheel and wanted a moonroof that opens. I would have appreciated the heated steering wheel and vetilated seats though. In the end it's just an appliance for my 76 mile r/t commute and have an SUV for hauling/towing and a Vette vert for fun. Thanks for the comparison review.

What does it matter! Dealers are ruining any chances of purchasing any Toyota byJACKING PRICE to a ridiculous prices. From being around 30 to 35K to over 75K.

No matter what, there both Toyota’s they make an awesome product. I would take both.

I did a little research on Google and for maximum driving distance it said the Prius goes 644 miles and the Corolla goes 660 miles maximum driving distance The Prius has a 11.3 gallon gas tank while the Corolla has a 11.3 or 13.2 gallon gas tank The Prius may have more features and I do like the new look of it, but personally I would probably get the Corolla Hybrid simply for the maximum driving distance on 1 tank of gas

Prius better in every way, I'd take the Prius all day.

Can we please stop saying the gauge cluster is blocked by the steering wheel in the Prius? Just adjust the damn seat and wheel position. It is a non-issue

Absolutely excellent review.

Going for Prius! Thanks for the review

How is A pillar visibility?

Thank you it really great comparison

Both, Because they fun for me to buy them.

Excellent presentation fella's.... Thanks!

I love your new glasses

That's hard but I don't know much about the prius so I'm going have to go with the Corolla

A few things I'd like to know as it's been some time since I was a young fellow. Ease of entry into the vehicles, and ground clearance. My old Prius could not get over some speed bumps without scraping the bottom.

Prius looks very sleek

Thank you for the informative video. Are any of these plug-in Hybrids?

I would pick the sexy Prius

Great comparison. Both are impressive for the price. The huge A pillars on the Prius limits forward visibility, so I tend towards the Corolla. I don't mind driving ugly cause I don't have to look at it.

COROLLA!

I think the corolla hybrid is the ultimate "sensible" car.

You compared the "top of the line" of both vehicles - Prius - limited and the Corolla XLE. WHY? Why not compare: Prius - LE and the Corolla LE * The average consumer is simply looking for an average car price, a price that we/ I can afford and simply put " more value for the buck" Skip the moon roof the fake leather seating, cool seats.. Again, simply asking why did you select the top models to compare in both vehicles?

Thanks guys !

I wonder if the new generation Prius redesigned the seats. I've driven both of the last two generations on a few occasions and they had the most uncomfortable seats of any car I've ever driven. Even more uncomfortable than Tesla seats.

I test drove the 2023 prius a few months ago and the gauge cluster was a deal breaker. Looks like the gauge cluster is still a problem

What is it with car makers No Rear Vents in Cars ???!!!

The hybrid Corolla is available in a station wagon model in Europe but not here. This would be a ideal vehicle for North America.

The new Prius looks very impressive, but I would go with the Corolla as I've always been a sedan guy. I've purchased five vehicles so far (all sedans) as my first was a 2006 Corolla S that I bought new back in the day.

❤TOYOTA❤

Prius

Interesting concidering that I purchased the Prius about a month ago. I am very pleased with the car however there is one thing that disappointed me. The construction is a little weak in my opinion. I travel almost constantly with a service dog who will go from the rear seat to the passenger seat. In doing so she will use the center counsel as a step. So in the month I've owned the car there are three small tears in the foe leather caused by her claws. I understand that this won't be an issue for most drivers but for over $30000 I'd expect better materials being used. Especially from the Japanese. For comparison, my other vehicle is a 2007 Chevy Avalanche with leather interior and NO marks whatsoever from her claws or anything else on it's center counsel.

cant decide between a Prius XLE or Corolla SE Hybrid. can save $5k with the Corolla and still get good looks and better visibility. gas cost per year is only about total $100 difference given 10k estimated miles driven. but the Prius is still very nice. thoughts anyone?

6k is a big difference.

The Prius does have vents under the seats, At least mine does.

Why do they say here the Prius sells for high 30’s,dealer prices are near 50 k,way to expensive

Sound like a salesman…..”about $5000 difference”. Actual difference is $6300.

You never mentioned All Wheel Drive, nor ground clearance, nor winter weather conditions. 🙂 People in Oregon wanna know. lol

Family fight is the best

No comparison. Prius is $5000 to $6000 more than Corolla.

Prius driver here . Just speaking truth . I have a 2010 and a 2022 . Best cars I ever bought . Don’t get me wrong get a lot of hate on road because I am judged . I could drive a big Tundra to fit in Nah… Corolla drivers are mainly the drivers that are embarrassed to be seen in a Prius . O well I guess . I don’t care what people think .

the Pruis improved its look but im going corolla all day

I am very happy with my new Prius XLE AWD.

Great analysis guys. I'm a 70yr old senior who has loved cars ALSO. I learned off u guys, I thought Corolla was a 2.0. If I was a Toyota engineer. I would have put a 2.0 in a Corolla & 19" wheels on it. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING????

Any noticable difference in the rear window visibility? Historically Priuses have narrow visibility due to the angle of the hatchback.

bailed out when i saw half a point awarded for bigger wheels. i hate big wheels like that. the looks, the ride and the efficiency. 16's are way better. you said objective then immediately made a subjective decision.

Prius for me better, because looks mutch better, better fuel economy, better sound insulation.

Could you guys do a Lexus UX hybrid also?

For the price, I'd probably get the Corolla Cross Hybrid.

The prius is futuristic, i drive a toyota from 2006.😂😂😂

Prius for sure

Just to confirm: you felt the Prius Prime was more "fun" than the no-Prime version?

Because the Tesla model 3 exists, prime price has to be $26,000 max.

Does corolla 2025 will be all new ?

I think the Corolla is the better looking of the 2 all around and especially in the rear .... To me the Corolla is hands down the car I would buy .... And I can tell these 2 are your typical biased reviewers that seem to have their minds made up even before they started the review as to which vehicle they like.

Another issues you negated in your final opinion is the cargo area. They both look like sedans but the prius is a hatch and has more cargo room. The new Prius is great overal

After watching, i prefer the Corolla lol 😂

My winner is the Prius cuz it’s so fancy with new tech

I thought the Toyota Corolla SE was the top trim model

Did you just accelerate the corolla in a uphill road?

You cannot compare 1.8 from 2008 and the next gen 2.0 d4s engine from 2018. D4s or dynamic force engine is next gen engine with 8 injectors and electric intake cam. 6000 difference just for engine alone annulate in comparison

$35k for the prius?!?! isn't that a GR Corolla price level already?

Prius prime or Tesla Model 3?

The Prius looks like its design was done by the Lexus devision.
