toyota, the car you buy when you dont wish to get acquainted well with your mechanic because they never break down!!

[@CloakedHDTV]

So true! 🤣

[@jerryavanzino6062]

We recently bought a 2020 hybrid and couldn't be more happier! We love the new style both inside and outside. What's most impressive is the overall gas mileage which is over 50 mph and the smooth ride that easily tops any compact car I've driven. The engine performance in the normal drive mode is adequate and the power drive mode gives you much more power which we use frequently especially on the freeway.

[@ENTJ47]

Do you feel safe (speeds up quick enough) when joining 65 MPH freeway on-ramps?

[@noblekishor]

Corolla Hybrids gonna win the compact sedan market. Not everyone out there is looking for a sporty car. Majority of the entry level buyers want a point A to B efficient reliable commuter. So toyota offer this now. This will be my next car

[@sgtpepper6379]

The gas engine is gonna be way more reliable in the long run. No expensive hybrid components to break or replace.

Thanks for the comparison ToyotaJeff! I've been in my new 2020 #CorollaHybrid for 2 weeks. It is SO FREAKING AWESOME! After a good wax, my 70-mile daily highway commute is averaging around 65 MPG. Don't forget to point out the Fuselage Vortex Generators at the base of the A-Pillars, the Tail Light Covers, and the inside of the Side Mirror Fairings! @Toyota brought real aerodynamics to the party!

[@menguardingtheirownwallets6791]

Yes, the Hybrid is more money, but at current fuel prices, and with the average yearly commuting distance of 20,000 miles per year, the Hybrid saves enough money in 3 years to make up for its extra price. After that, all savings go right into your pocket $$$$$$$$.

[@larrycox6614]

WOW! A superb, very detailed video..really! Some of the things you point out nobody else has (and I've watched several review videos). Some of those details people normally don't ask about or realize until they get the vehicle home. We rented a XSE just last week during vacation. Really enjoyed the vehicle (except for the road noise, presumably due to the type of tires). I would imagine there are just a few differences between the LE and the XSE. Would you care to comment on that? Other reviews hinted that Android integration (instead of ONLY Apple) may come later...have any inside scoop on that?

[@HalaMadrid234]

[@adampayne4814]

24000 miles (my yearly mileage) / 37 mpg (that is what i get on current gas non-hybrid Corolla) x $2.80 per gallon = $1816.21 per year 24000 miles (my yearly mileage) / 53 mpg (hybrid Corolla) x $2.80 per gallon = $1267.92 per year Gasoline price savings per year of hybrid = $548.28 Hybrid cost to purchase is $3000 more, so it would be 5 1/2 years ($3000 / $548.28 = 5.47) to recoup the original additional hybrid costs. Hmmmmm. Not sure how good a deal that is for me. Maybe I would get better than 53 mpg on hybrid, since I get better than average mileage on current 2011 gas-only Corolla (I do a lot of highway driving). Still not sure if I am sold.

[@baseballtechguy2920]

This gets up to 60+ I've seen a few folks say they are getting.....

[@pcxrp5103]

I have to agree with your maths, just one thing people are not considering is the depreciation values. I have a yaris hybrid and bought it for £11,400 20 months ago done 12,000 mile and it's current market value is still £10,000 -£10 250. equivalent non hybrids have dropped over double in value of that of the hybrid, incredible.

[@baseballtechguy2920]

Picking up my Hybrid on Thursday.... White with grey interior. Hearing some are getting over 60mpg!! Anyone drive in snow? Will it need winter tires like the Prius did?

[@mackman1480]

Watching from Canada another good video on explaining things in practical terms for the motorist to understand. William Weaver also explains in the comments about the 50000 watt electric motors equivalent to 67 horsepower on top of the 121 horsepower ICE to give performance in power mode. I think the thing that makes people think they are gutless is the 121 horsepower rating but forget the electric power is 100 % instant with no lag which from personal experience in taxi's is pretty peppy off the line, not a corvette but easily able to keep up with traffic and merge on highways. I read awhile back that Toyota globally has the hybrid synergy drive in over 5 million vehicles and been available since 1997. It is funny that people who don't own them who think it is new technology and not proven or expensive don't realize it has been around for over 20 years.

Wow, you're pretty much the best car reviewer I have seen! I have a question though, if any can answer this: can the Corolla Hybrid utilize the app features such as remote start, diagnostics/status, "engine lock" (when someone steals the car and you stop it with the app), gps tracking, etc? And also, does anyone know if the Prius 2018-2020 have ac vents on the back seats? I've seen a photo where it looks like the back seats have an air vent on their sides 🤔

[@sgtpepper6379]

Depends, do you want hundreds of thousands of miles of reliability, or better fuel economy? I'll take the reliability. 38 mpg is pretty amazing for a simple sedan already.

[@jm31828]

Can you add to that- is there concern that a hybrid would not last as long as a non-hybrid Corolla? I would have assumed both would last incredibly long?

[@twackingrecordings69]

Had I known a great hybrid corolla was on the horizon for 2020 I would have waited to buy a new car, oh well he 2019 corolla has decent gas mileage by the time I get ready to buy another new car maybe there will be no gas whatsoever as the fuel source.

[@athletejmv]

The 2019 Corolla with CVT has premature wear issues. Toyota put out a bulletin on it... should have been a recall in my opinion, but changing out all those transmissions is unrealistic.

[@TheSjuris]

[@jamesnelson7119]

Jeff, of the two I would go with the hybrid, but that's cause right now I'm looking for fuel economy. Two quick questions if you don't mind. Did I hear correctly that the hybrid actually had less HP? Also, is it possible for you to do a similar video comparing the 2019 Camry, gas vs hybrid? Thanks.

[@WilliamLWeaver]

Hi, James! I've been driving my 2020 #CorollaHybrid for its first 1400 miles. The 1.8L ICE has less HP than the 1.8L ICE in my 2011 Corolla LE. The specs are 121 HP for the Hybrid and 139 - 169 HP for the non-hybrid, depending on trim. The Hybrid has three (3) horsepower sources, one 1.8L Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) and two (2) Electric Motors providing a total of 50,000 Watts of power. With conversion, that is 67 HP. In "Power" (PWR) mode, the Corolla Hybrid uses both the ICE and the Electric Motors to get off the line. 121 + 67 = 188 Total HP. This thing is way jumpier off the line than my 2011 LE ever was... =]

[@FredFlintstone21]

I wouldnt worry too much about one of the two cars having a little less horsepower... my 81 rabbit diesel has just over 50 horsepower, and buzzes down the road just fine! I cant imagine what I'd do with a whopping 120 horsepower (or even higher)

It isn't 160 km/h, it's 160 mph which is around 260 km/h. The highest number on the speedometer has nothing to do with the actual top speed. The speedo in my BMW reaches up to 260 yet top speed is 225. The cheapest VW Polo will have a 240 km/h speedo but it won't go faster than probably 170. This Corolla Hybrid however has a limited top speed of 180 km/h.

Tell your friends at Toyota HQ to sell the Corolla hybrid wagon in North America. Why is Toyota so afraid of giving us something more practical than a sedan. Look, Mazda sells only a tiny amount of Miata MX5, but they still make and sell them. Even if only 5000 wagons were sold in NA, that's still 5000 more than if they don't sell it. The 86 & FR-S only sold a combined 4133 in 2018 in North America, and will sell even less in 2019. Don't tell us there is no market for a hybrid wagon; if they were on the dealer lot they would sell because they have no competition and not everyone wants, needs or wishes to pay for a SUV like the RAV4. I am sure you would be a good salesman for the hybrid wagon. I have nothing against sedans, but a wagon offers a lot more usable cargo capacity. Corolla keeps getting better every year, no wonder it is the best selling car of all time.

@@dimitermarchev9040 For a modern car, the Corolla offers very good visibility so there is no reason blind spots should be a major problem. In general Toyota's safety features are miles ahead of their competitors.

[@dimitermarchev9040]

Right Lane Hog, Toyota safety sense 2.0 is a good safety system; however, if I buy a new Corolla hybrid and spend $25K, I would like to have a blind spot monitor system as well! Toyota offers blind spot monitor AND rear cross traffic alert for $600 on Toyota Camry Hybrid LE as an option, so not having blind spot monitor (without rear cross traffic alert) is just an excuse to ask people to go and buy a Prius. It is not right. On the other hand, if you want to buy a 2019 Prius, you are left on the side of the road scratching your head why they did not add the new safety sense 2.0 with the middle cycle refresh?! Why did they left the infotainment screen for the radio only 6.1 inches when they sale 7 inch screen on 2018 models? Yes, you can have 11.6 inches screen in the limited model, but this screen/display is not a very good option because it combines controls for A/C system. So, let’s say you have the car for 6-7 years and this screen/display stops working? You will be faced with huge expense of replacing it because you will not be able to run A/C system otherwise. Prius/Corolla are amazing cars, but buying a car is an investment for many people, so they want to have all safety features that are available at the moment on the market!
