Good introduction! I’ve just bought one a couple days ago but am watching videos rather than attempting the multiple owners manuals at about 900 pages. It’s a nice looking and comfortable driving car. I replaced another car bought 8 years ago, and can’t believe all the modern standard features included. I’m also impressed by how much pep it has and how quiet it is. I’ve only driven 50 miles, and the display shows 610 miles remaining on the just over 13 gallon tank.

[@dookiepossum]

Same! I sold a 2012 Honda Fit and upgraded. I’m beyond excited now. We will see years down the road. My SE Hybrid only had 2750 miles on it

that "nice" was so subtle yet so good xD

[@juanherrera7124]

Great video 👌

[@Krowicki]

Thanks 👍

[@josuecruz4937]

They changed it a lot from last year. But they did add useful stuff like the trunk release on the trunk it self. Last years did not have that and it was very annoying when you had to use the 😅

[@noname-yb5jt]

I have a 2020 hybrid and it has trunk release on the trunk. As long as you have the key in your pocket it opens.

[@jc-tu6pg]

wish they added a "snow" mode in addition to the eco and sport mode. how does the hybrid AWD perform in the snow? would love to see a vid on that! thanks!

[@josuecruz4937]

Hi, Kriwicki

[@noname-yb5jt]

The 2020 display is so much nicer than that. I'm averaging 59.2mpg since new purchased May 2020. Mine has the nickel metal hydride pack which is better in cold and cheaper to replace. Paid $20,500 out the door (including 5.5% tax). Going to drive this thing for 20 years for cheap. The extra power would be nice but bought it for the cost per mile.

[@noname-yb5jt]

Great car still no regrets after over 3 years. I would buy another one today if I needed a car. I would go for a higher trim with better seats. That would be my only complaint is the seats are uncomfortable.

[@yololol]

@@noname-yb5jtare you saying that the 2023 and 2024 hybrid gets worse milage than your 2020 and that the new ones have a different battery than yours too?

[@noname-yb5jt]

@@yololol yes the new ones get less mpg

[@noname-yb5jt]

@yololol The new ones have liion the 2020 is nickel metal hydride. Much, much cheaper to replace the nickel batteries and they do better in cold weather.

[@braetonwilson4296]

2023 Corolla LE hybrid has a few less features than the 2022 Corolla LE hybrid because the 2023 model is cheaper by over a thousand dollars. Since Toyota was expanding the Corolla hybrid line-up for 2023, they decided to make the base LE hybrid cheaper and remove a few features. Also, all 4 windows are auto one touch up-down.

[@Aku112811]

You can still get those features you just have to pay an extra $1200.

[@KingIstvan]

Makes a lower msrp for optics and competition

[@Aku112811]

@@KingIstvan I ended up getting a Toyota Mirai. 17,000 off msrp, %0 interest for 72 months , 4,500 rebate I need to do, HOV lane pass, 15,000 fuel card. No brainer and has a ton of features.

[@ericdasilva2948]

2023 Corolla Hybrid SE AWD or 2023 Corolla XSE? The MSRP is the same just a couple hundred off. Not sure what to get. I’m a bit iffy about the hybrid, and the XSE is prefect but doesn’t have the AWD which is mostly the only reason why I consider the hybrid.

[@18pactls51]

great review. wondering how the real world MPG is with the hybrid SE...

[@Krowicki]

I rented one for a few days driving mostly city and was getting 50+

[@xuimod]

I disagree that the car is lacking in features. Has Toyota safety Sense 3.0 which works great. Leather wrapped steering wheel which is something you'll touch every time you drive. I have a Toyota Camry with a leather wrap steering wheel and I'm grateful for it almost every time I drive the car. Also the SE trim standard start stop and smart key entry. Best bang for your buck car out there when all these features are considered. Better than Hyundai and better than Honda. But of the Honda Civic gets a hybrid drivetrain and its price doesn't rise too much (say less than $2,000) then it might be a very close call with this Corolla.

[@insooleedat1asiandude]

is there a noticeable difference in driving dynamics or is SE mostly an appearance trim?

[@francisco5500]

It has a sport tuned suspension and sportier steering. They're minor changes bit still noticeable.

[@jeanmichel683]

Canadian version LE has more included options than the SE you are showing. Thanks to our weather :)

[@MNM2884nick]

That's insane

[@FeastablesPark]

Canada trims should also apply for New England

[@curlytop242923]

Would like to hear the ranges of prices from low to high ? Are these available with all wheel drive ???

[@brianbyers2682]

awd-Yes

[@angelgjr1999]

23k for base, 28-29 for xse

Does your computer not have google?

Hi. I am writing from Europe. Is the Corolla with a 5th generation hybrid drive already available in the USA - if so, from when can it be ordered. In Poland, it is supposed to be available somewhere in the first quarter of 2023. But generally, the dates are unpredictable and nobody knows anything. I have a 1.8 hybrid ordered in June and I am wondering what option I will receive. Thanks for the information. Regards

[@zxcasdqwe12]

Nie wiem jak w USA, ale w Kanadzie gdzie mieszkam, dostawy 2023 Corrola hybrid rozpoczęto pare tygodni temu, gdzieś około początku Grudnia. Przy czym trzeba wiedzieć, że dostarczane auta były zamawiane gdzieś około rok temu(?). Duży bałagan też. Czeski film, "nikt nic nie wie". :) Dobra wiadomość. Toyota ma podobno podwoić produkcje "Corolla hybrid" (to co dealer mi powiedział).

[@waldemarzmuda770]

@@zxcasdqwe12 A wiadomo gdzie jest produkowana z przeznaczeniem na rynek US, Canada etc. Dzięki za info.

[@zxcasdqwe12]

@@waldemarzmuda770 Gdzie robiona? Dziwna rzecz, bo USA i Kanada wydają sie być jednym rynkiem, a mimo to na rynek USA, Corolla hybrid jest składana w Mississippi, a do Kanady przychodzi z Japonii ( tak przynajmniej było z modelami z poprzednich lat, i mam nadzieję że będzie tak dalej).

[@waldemarzmuda770]

@@zxcasdqwe12 Podobno najwięcej hybryd sprzedają własnie na tym rynku wiec moze dlatego traktują ich z pierwszeństwem...Ciekawe co to będzie po Nowym Roku...W Polsce też Toyota Motor Manufacturing Poland (TMMP) rozpoczęła produkcję elektrycznych przekładni hybrydowych piątej generacji przeznaczonych do Toyoty Corolli produkowanej w Wielkiej Brytanii i Turcji...wiec pewnie wszystko mają przemyślane i rozkręcą się sprzedaże w Europie...

[@zxcasdqwe12]

@@waldemarzmuda770 Dodam jeszcze, że różnice pomiędzy modelami sprzedawanymi w USA i Kanadzie, są minimalne. Osiągi są takie same, jedynie różnią sie wyposażeniem w podstawowej wersji - Kanadyjska wersja wydaje sie być troche bogatsza: Aluminiowe felgi vs stalowe; Zapalanie na guzik vs klucz Licznik ze wskazówkami vs elektroniczny. Rzutuje to oczywiście na cene.

47 Mpg!! My Scion Tc gets 18 mpg. lol

Bought a 2020 in May 2020. Averaging 59.2mpg since new. These don't get as good as the previous ones but they have more power.

If you would like to review my 2012 Corolla LE as a comparison to this generation, let me know. It has 160K miles and is in excellent condition. I live in Sacramento.

Really outdated interior.

So how much is it?

Nah, looking at the PRIUS though!!
