The Corolla might not be Toyota's best-selling car anymore, but the latest model is still an incredibly efficient and affordable car. The 2023 Toyota Corolla Hybrid now offers all-wheel drive (AWD) on multiple trims, and it can deliver up to 50 mpg in combined driving. With a new and improved infotainment interface and a long-standing reputation for reliability, is this 2023 Corolla a better buy than the 2023 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid? Or maybe you'd rather purchase a new Toyota Prius, instead.

Prius is gorgeous.. $43,000 Canadian I put a deposit on the 2024 Corolla Hybrid SE AWD. $35,000 Canadian I wonder if I should have chosen the 2024 Corolla Hybrid LE AWD $33,000 Canadian I could have saved $2,160 when comparing SE vs. LE MSRP. Too bad I'm not flush with cash. If I were - I'd splurge for the Prius with .5L/100km better fuel efficiency.

You can compare it to the Elantra all day and call it bland. Difference is, this thing will still work and be on it’s original power train in 15 - 20 years. Which is more than can be said of Elantras of the past. This will also hold its resale value better and has a much better hybrid system than anything else on the market. No brainer for me. Toyota all day.

Last May I helped my daughter purchase a car. She was going to get a USED car but I warned her that used cars were way over priced at that time. (As we ALL remember) So I chipped in some money and simply told her it is cheaper to purchase a NEW car then a USED car. I also said we need to get her a Toyota Corolla. So we ordered an LE Corolla with NO Packages on it. It came out to be $22K and change for a new 2022 FWD LE Corolla. We only had to wait one month for it too. Ordering a Hybrid of any model you can wait up to a year at least. She loves the car and of course the Hybrid Corolla would get better over all gas mileage however, the gas-only Corolla gets 38mpg over all. That is still very good.

[@robertsantana5245]

No really i was seeing used corollas from 2020-2023 asking anywhere from 20-25k USED with OVER 40k miles and im seeing brand new 2023 corolla with 0 miles from 21-22k and you know you’ll have peace of mind knowing you have warranty and nothing to worry about for minimum 7 years only regular maintenance of course which is also relatively inexpensive compared to other brands/cars

[@ProDigit80]

The roadnoise can be mitigated by getting 17" wheels with 1 to 2" meatier tires. The thin walled tires are just too ...thin... road noise and bumps are amplified compared to normal tires, and bigger potholes can damage the alloy rims.

[@johnossendorf9979]

Well I have never forgotten about the Corolla since it was one of the two vehicles I learned to drive on. Mom's 3 speed automatic 1984 4 door Corolla sedan and Dad's 1977 Dodge full-time 4wd 4 speed manual Power Wagon Snow-Commander. With snow tires the Corolla was a beast in the snow ! I even had it up to 110 mph on a trip to the Finger Lakes once, or at least that's what the speedometer was showing. If I could have one of them new now between the Power Wagon and the Corolla I'd take the Corolla because it never broke down were as the Dodge was a Chrysler product and broke down on a regular basis.

We have to have a higher ground clearance for our area. We get 4-5 feet of snow every winter and live on a private road that we have to plow and maintain ourselves. The Corolla is too small for us. We had a Camry but it was too low to the ground. We looked at a Venza (and LOVED it) and the Rav. Our insurance would have gone up by $1K per year for the Venza and $700 for the RAV4. We opted for the Outback which is $300 more per year. The Outback and the Forester achieved the highest IIHS safety Plus rating for its class. The Corolla also has this safety rating. I bought a 78 Corolla in 83. It had 70K miles on it, (it was my grandma’s commuter car). It became my college car. It was a bare bones. 4cyl, 4spd manual, vinyl seats and flooring, AM radio. After college I had student loans so I kept driving my 2dr Corolla. After my loans were paid off I started saving money for a down payment for my first house. After buying my house, I simply wanted to see how long that Corolla would last. It finally dropped dead at a Whopping 488K miles in 02, which is when I bought my Camry. We drove that until 21 and bought our Outback for my wife’s birthday. We bought a Forester Touring for me last year.

The Corolla Hybrid - I was worried about it with what I "suspected" was at some point the Corolla replacement that never was - morphed and was made into the NEW PRIUS, which looks exactly like that - making the Corolla Hybrid kind of the "heritage model" in contrast. BUT there is a huge price difference - with the new Prius being, well they said to secure $50,000 in monies one way or the other and you should be able to get into one taxes and all baring severe dealer mark ups. That would be AWD here and pretty deluxe contenting as they said 90% will be that. However, suddenly the old Corolla hybrid that now offers AWD is looking not that bad of an option as you can actually still make the argument that I am not spending and extra $20,000 to save $6000 on fuel "maybe, if I drive and have it long enough to get paid back for those upfront costs. It makes for a tempting package.

Only to realize it was a defect in the headlight array. My dealer said to me that the lights are not adjustable so just get used to it. Maybe they will fix it in the future.

[@snakejuice4300]

Hybrid system is better for stop and go traffic, which is what these are ideal for. 50-52 mpg. Your impala is also helped by its momentum at cruising speeds.

[@LafemmebearMusic]

You’re doing bad mpg match your impala did not get 44 mpg , no it did not.

[@lolcatcatlols]

@@LafemmebearMusic 18mi trip to and from work in a GTI and I can get 36-38mpg without being TOO obnoxious in traffic. Impala getting 44mpg with conservative driving is pretty believable lol.

[@lolcatcatlols]

Have always been able to decimate the EPA estimates by driving calmly. Easily beat 40 in my last Sentra rental, so think the non-hybrid Corolla could hit 40 eeeeeeasy. That being said, this hybrid can prolly hit 60mpg without too much effort.

[@mr.grumpygrumpy2035]

They should do a Corolla equivalent of the Civic SI

[@ListentoLuciano]

They have a corolla hatch gr 🤷‍♂

[@mr.grumpygrumpy2035]

@@ListentoLuciano That is more like a Civic Type R, too strung out. There should be something more in the middle too.

If they'd make a quiet trim of this car, I'd gladly pay for the extra sound-deadening to have an enjoyable, efficient ride. As it is, I'd probably just skip this (and the new Prius) and go for a hybrid Camry.

[@bobprice6274]

The Prius gets better mileage, looks better, is quieter I am leaning that direction.

[@markkraft6719]

Corolla hybrid is the ticket.

[@AndrewBullard9170]

It’s now like what Mitsubishi was 15 years ago

[@pttthhh]

You say its loud.. compared to what? Of course it is, compared to 80% of the tests you do for this channel. Is it louder than my 2006 Corolla, the last gen Corolla, a Civic?...

[@dorinbuzilov95]

Mario sounds @ 3:41

[@truyentruong9015]

I would take the Corolla over the Prius but I might take the Bolt over either with the tax credit! But if the Prius qualifies for the tax credit, then it would be the Prius Prime all the way.

[@OldDood]

I do not believe the Prius Prime gets you a Tax Credit. Remember this though....Whatever you may save on the tax credit with the Bolt... ...You will end up using up (and probably more) on repairs for the Bolt. I will never purchase a Chevy ever again. At least with Toyota vehicles you get reliability and longevity.

[@truyentruong9015]

@@OldDood If it's a reliable EV with tax credit, is what you want then it would be a Nissan Leaf. And I would take it over both, unless the Prius Prime adds more range and finally gets on the tax credit list. But again I would definitely take the Corolla Hybrid over the Prius and Prius Prime as of this time. But I'm cheap...

[@jd467]

My Bolt is great! Love it!

[@xuewei2270]

I rather save a little more for prius LE.

Can't really judge it off this review. Driving impressions would have been better if weren't doing this review and such bad weather.

[@Yestopeace365]

Skip this review unless you just want a reason to buy a different and likely more expensive car. I couldn't make it past the 1/2 way point because too much opinion and elitest comments here. Cargurus could possibly choose a less biased review person??

[@cjwise7741]

Every year everyone talks about how boring most Toyotas are. And every year they mention reliability after the fact like it’s some secondary requirement. Just another reason to buy this and keep it for years while laughing at the other cars that fall apart in 1/4 of the time.

[@manuelcamacho-cazares4639]

more buttons just means more stuff to brake down and more expensive to fix. just saying

[@lanceg2533]

Imagine paying $30,000 for an Econobox…

[@alext2566]

What other brand new vehicle are you going to get at that price that has AWD, great MPG and bulletproof reliability? If you can get past the fact that it's "just a Corolla", it's the best value the market has to offer BY FAR

[@lanceg2533]

@@alext2566 Comment went right over your head, buddy. 5 years ago you could buy a Corolla for $18-24k fully optioned out. Now a base is $24k and fully optioned is over $32. The fact that you didn’t see the problem with that shows what’s wrong with our education system, culture, and as a result our economy.

[@marklihsu]

Maverick Hybrid is lower priced almost as good MPG and way manlier. The money you save on the base model XL will make up for the slightly lower MPG. Not to mention way more practical as you can do things in a Maverick that you could never do in the Corolla.

[@braetonwilson4296]

Ford stopped taking orders for 2023 Mavericks. Any Mavericks you find in a dealer lot has a huge markup over MSRP. Maverick is not a realistic option.

[@pt93music]

Maverick is also a piece of shit Ford with its notoriously horrendous build quality and the already laundry list of recalls and transmission failures.

[@user-rq3vt4kg4o]

It's a Ford, it will fall apart, it's already rusty from manufacturer.

[@CJ-wc6lf]

When I went to the lot, they were marked up 10s of thousands of dollars. No longer an affordable car. I'll stick with private sell, because I saw this greedy phenomenon on many other car lots like Honda, Lexus and others. Stay away from car lots and have cash if possible. All 3 of my vehicles I have had great luck with for years buying less than 50% retail value.

[@aerohk]

Why buy this when the new Prius is out

[@nbatalkz6635]
