I obtained 2.5 liter / 100km today on my 1.8 Suzuki Swace. Flat city drive of 30 km with 30, 50, 70, 100 kmph roads. Full tank.

Believe me, it is not that hard with Corolla Hybrid. I owned that car for two years, and this consumption is certainly not unreal for a general trips in this weather. I managed to get to average 4.2l/100 km through the ownership. Too bad it does not have an efficiency range "indication" like Prius does, it would make learning the vehicle much more seamless ... at least for me :)

Another excellent video, thank you. I have 18 month old hatchback of this car and my lifetime consumption is 61 mpg. Big difference summer to winter, mostly because of engine warming, but in summer regularly over 80 mpg on commute.

Thanks for your videos, I'm happy I found your channel, you have a sub! I find it very informative because my driving is similar to yours and I get almost the same numbers from some of the cars you've tested so far that I managed to get my hands on (EVs and hybrids). Keep up the good work. As a side note, I tend to have just 4.1 l/100 km with the same Toyota when loaded with about 200 kg of family and shopping (city 30%, motorways 50%, national roads 20%) and about 4.5 l when driving alone. Very efficient car but Irish pricing (35k euros) makes it irrelevant, unfortunately.

Hi, Thank you so much for tips of driving and review of this car. Do you have any measure of consumption during winter time (around -10 celsius)?

@0bzen22 5 ай бұрын

I've gone for the 2.0L 196bhp. Should have gone for the 1.8L really, but hey. But so far, town and road, 100km round trip, 4.4-4.6L / 100 km, driving at the limit, but ECO and as smooth as possible (not pushing and staying in ECO range when possible). Not bad really. Slightly better than my old Megane Diesel 1.5 DCi 110. Nice to have to have the grunt when needed as well (loads of tractors and slow people around). Need more kilometers (500km so far) to evaluate but so far, very pleased.

@0bzen22 5 ай бұрын

Oh the smaller cars have an advantage. Mazda 2, Yaris (Cross is heavier than normal Yaris) are 300 kilos lighter, swace a little lighter, but not by much. That's a big factor imo. It's still amazing that a 1.5 ton pig can achieve sub 4.0L combined, easily.

@tersic1000 4 ай бұрын

I did the same swap like you, megane grandtour 1.5dci for corolla TS 2.0 City consumption easy to get 3.5-4.5L/100km, 130km/h higway 250km trip shown me 6.6L /100km. My mileage is approx 1/3 130kmh higways, 2/3 in city so that should be little lower average consumption overall comparing with the megane. Only minus for toyota is the small gas tank, only 43L. I drove like 25km with the refuel signal on, and was able to fill 36.5L of gasoline, so with the toyota youre able to drive max 600-700km without refuelling, for megane that interval was 800-900km, even 900+km was not rare...

@cal87249 4 ай бұрын

the right tip for toyota hybrid is never gone only in electric because you will drain the battery and when you use gasoline a lot of engine power is goin to be used for recharge the battery! the secret is keep the battery above 64 for cent you can see with the app hybrid synergy connected with an obd.

@michaelwilkinson5097 3 ай бұрын

There is a big difference with the 122ps model when driving on 18 inch wheels that i think this has compared with the Swace, which was running 16 inch wheels.. Hence the 0.3 litres/100km difference between these two models

Great video as always. However battery in Corolla hybrid doesn't go down under certain percentage when using "normal" mode. To use all energy it accumulated you need to get into ev mode. For most uses this doesn't matter, however when going downhill your battery will probably stop recharging in the middle of hill because it will reach it's full capacity. To fight this you could use ev mode when going uphill to use all energy you had in your battery (if any) and then start the descend with completly empty battery. You probably didn't have a lot of energy when ending the ascend but netherless maybe what i just write could decrease final consumption by 0,1l/100km.

What I'm curious about is a comparison between Corolla hybrid 2.0 and the new Honda Civic 2.0 hybrid. They have similar power, around 135kW, WLTP numbers I came across were very close (Honda being slightly better). Drivetrains are very different though. I hope you get to test both on your channel.

@lmstefanini1 Жыл бұрын

The ambient temperature plays a big role in the fuel economy. In cold weather, like you you tested ( ~12 deg C), my Toyota hybrid have around 20 % less fuel economy compared with the fuel economy during the summer weather, even with the AC is ON. Despite the energy lost to warm up the car, the battery cannot provide enough energy on cold weather, neither recharge efficiently, which limits the fuel economy. I am pretty sure that this car could do an average of 3.2 l/100 km during the summer. Just for a comparison, your test of the C-HR 2.0l did an average of same 3.8 l/100km in a warmer weather. This is similar I got with mine. For comparison, the same C-HR during the winter, the fuel computations goes above 4.5l/100km.

Totally right. Our 2019 RAV4 hybrid AWD-I takes 6,3-6,5L/100km in winter on winter tires and 5.2-5.5L in summer on summer tires.

All engines are warm as I drive them from the dealership to my place and after setting up the cameras I start the trip. tbh, I don't check tyre-pressure, as I trust that the dealers provide the cars with the correct amount of air filled in.

if you learn how to drive it eco correctly you will achieve even 3.4 liter for 100 km! i had the toyota chr 1.8 122 horse power and even if is not that aerodynimic like a corolla because is a suv i obtained this results! i did the eco driving toyota school but the way. I been back on diesel and I bought a brand new alfaromeo stelvio 2.2 210 horse power diesel ahahah, but the new gen5 1.8 toyota is 144 cv less scooter acceleration, much ready power, new battery, more efficient and consuming less,I'm curios to test them

So the 1.8 is pretty much the same consumption as 2.0? Am I reading correctly? Could you do a test with a diesel 1.6-2.0 diesel car? I would love to see how it goes. I feel like the results would be so close and the only thing we as consumers obtain with electrification is lower emissions Tnx

@dd9ag Жыл бұрын

I doubt a diesel will do as well as this on this route. It’ll excel at the motorway bit though. The main thing is though you will encounter problems with a diesel as mileage accrues. A hybrid Toyota will just keep going.

@@luckystrike656 Toyota hsd is not complicated actually, extremely robust. It actually loses a few bits from a regular engine too including starter motor, alternator, many drive belts etc. most inner London cabs I’ve been in are prius/prius + with many having done well over 400000 miles. In diesels this can happen but usually it will cost a lot more in parts and repairs to get there.

@@dd9ag yes but those are taxi drivers so probably only worst city traffic driving. There are million of diesel cars well over that mileage too with no intervention on engines but more on exhaust systems.. For someone who is doing a lot of open roads and highways nothing currently is beating a medium size car with 1.6-2.0 diesel engine. They can go as low as 4l/100km and max high 6-6.5l/100km If car manufacturers paid same attention to efficiency for their diesel cars (air drag, tyre resistance, weight) as EV and Hybrid do, diesel would do even better. It's all about the needs one have.
