The Hybrid provides solid value, given it is $5k less than the Civic Hybrid They ask for less, but give you less.

[@747-pilot]

NO it is not! The Toyota DEALERS and DISTRIBUTORS (scum) add all kinds of “forced add ons” to the car, and the dealers don’t budge on the price. The Honda is brand new, but in a few months there will be “deals” to be had, actually making it a better buy in terms of REAL WORLD PRICING!

OK I don't mind paying extra but here in Texas, it's impossible to find a base Corolla LE with the LE Convenience Package! So if I want a base Corolla LE, I have to forget about blind spot monitoring! 2025 Jetta, 2025 Sentra, 2025 K4, and 2025 Elantra all come standard with blind spot monitoring despite having a lower MSRP than the 2025 Corolla!

[@Tractshun]

Gas Corolla makes sense if you drive low annual mileage and plan to keep the vehicle for a very long time past the hybrid battery warranty expiration. If you buy the hybrid under this scenario, after 15 years, you would have saved very little on fuel and maintenance, yet will still be due for a several thousand dollar replacement hybrid battery. The battery will deteriorate with age even if you don’t put many miles on the vehicle. The hybrid battery might even go bad faster if you don’t drive it enough. The gas vehicle will be a better deal in that scenario

[@mikej238]

[@abczyx2102]

@@Tractshun that's so far off base. I bought my daughter a used 2013 ct200h in 2016. That car has performed flawlessly and reliably. I've been driving a Subaru and the cost of fuel and repairs far exceed the hybrid.

[@Tractshun]

@@abczyx2102 I have no idea what you’re talking about. I said if you drive low annual mileage, the hybrid makes no sense. It’s not possible to recoup even the extra up front cost with just fuel and maintenance savings if you drive very low mileage. Even if you drive “average” mileage, it’s not possible to recoup up front costs plus the extra thousands of dollars a replacement battery will cost out of warranty. Only high mileage drivers such as couriers and ride share drivers will reliably come out ahead from saved costs n fuel and brake pads even if they need to replace the battery out of warranty.

Echoing what Kirk has said, does anyone else feel the Toyota has de-prioritized Lexus? The 2025 Toyota Corolla has Safety Sense 3.0 and the Lexus ES has 2.5! REALLY?

[@Methylphenidate2803]

Toyota has one of the strangest distribution of features among its models. For example, for VAG first new innovations are presented by Porsche and Audi, then they will end up in a Golf/Passat years later. On Toyota/Lexuses, some flagship Lexus models such as LS will have innovations such as first LED headlights on LS600H in 2006, night vision, adaptive cruise and etc but then you have the first LED headlights on 2014 Corolla instead of Avalon, or Land Cruiser which doesn’t even make sense. Then you have pano sunroof that dims automatically on Toyota Venza and Lexus RX doesn’t get it. Or you have auto high leveling and adaptive LED headlights on Corolla Cross but not on Crowns, or other cars. So it is not necessarily pushing Lexus behind on purpose but Corolla brings them money, as does the RX at least in US/Canada. So they kind of are investing money where they can milk the most.

[@readtherealanthonyfaucibyr6444]

Lots of people think the difference in price for the hybrid needs to be made up for in direct fuel savings, but most of that price difference holds in the value of the car as time passes. In 10 years a used hybrid Corolla will likely have a higher average price than a non hybrid.

[@shtstirrer]

Hybrid battery is a consumable, there’s no getting around it. If you plan on keeping the car, a gas Corolla is probably a better choice vs a hybrid Corolla. That being said .. hybrids are quieter and smoother and now more powerful with the Camry and Civic .. so a purchasing decision is no longer about maximizing gas mileage and saving money.

I would buy a Northern KY Toyota over Miss., bc being from that area, I think the midwest has a stronger work ethic and more attention to detail than the deep south, but Japanese quality does make a difference. None of the panels on our Miss. Corolla are aligned very well and there are gobs of adhesive where they put too much and squeezed the parts together and then just painted over the "ooze." There is on gob underneath the center rear that is very visible from behind and it looks like the little SE is pinching one off.

@@AlexanderY18 nope, no starter no alternator no belts , brakes are regen so they last 3x as long , Ecvt not regular transmission so less service required, Only extras on a hybrid are a few more litres of coolant and an air filter under the back seat.

@@mikej238 I agree with all of that. Up until the hybrid system starts to fail and you have a huge repair to do.

[@sn4rl277]

Only issue with the hatch is it takes headroom away for backseat adult passengers. I almost bought a Civic Sport Touring hatch last year but the back seat felt cramped compared to the sedan without a hatch. If you don't need adult size humans sitting in your backseat for anything over 10 minute drive, then the hatch is a great idea.

I own a 2024 Corolla SE Hybrid FWD. I drive a lot of miles for work, highway and suburbs. If you stay under 70mph you will get over 50mpg on the highway on avg. The moment you start accelerating in the left lane, driving to get somewhere in a hurry, is when the mpg drops down to the 40’s. Put the car in its amazing cruise control mode and cruise. If you want, go 55 or 60mph in the right lane and you will get into the high 50’s. You have to drive these cars like you are not in a rush so the battery is pushing you more often. Unlike gas cars, there can be 15 - 25mpg swing in efficiency when you are not in a rush. Sometimes in the suburbs or city, you can get into the 60-70s if you really game the system. I have gotten 99.9mpg driving 5 minutes to target because I kept my momentum!

Most people just drive their car however they want and have no regard for efficiency. I don’t blame them, especially if your car doesn’t reward you for it in a significant way. All I am saying is there are big rewards for learning how to drive these cars and it takes longer than a couple thousand miles swapping between many cars.

[@DillyWilly06]

I would love for toyota to bring the hybird hatchback to the states cry😭😭

[@evoman44]

I would love a more affordable sporty Corolla hatchback with a manual transmission and LSD that slots between the regular hatchback and the GR Corolla.

There is no more exciting car on the market than the Corolla. It touches my Soul.

@@mikej238 they already have partnered with BYD before. Also most governments provide subsidies for their car companies. this is not a new practice. not only for car manufacturers this applies to other industries

@@justifiedmasagony3635 No such thing as a BYD Corolla. Stop repeating nonsense. Every BYD sold loses over 10k USD. That's why Canada and the US will slap massive tariffs on them. Move to China comrade.

There's an insurance premium for hybrid cars right now. I would rather take a non-hybrid to save money on already high cost insurance rates.

[@johnkonde1975]

That's a really good point Raheem that I didn't even think about! Thanks!

[@mikej238]

😂 no its based on car price, you think 1500 on a 27000 car is going to be noticeable. Don't repeat falsehoods . I bought a 23 Rav 4 Ltd Hybrid. Premium was 14 bucks a year more than the non hybrid which was 1800cdn less price. That's less than 1/4 tank of gas...

[@jraheemjefcoat429]

@mikej238 Sir, you live in Canada. I live in the U.S. We have different laws and regulations from which you are from. My sister is an insurance agent, and she has written premiums for cars with high insurance rates on hybrid vehicles than non hybrid vehicles. The reason is that hybrid batteries are expensive to maintain than ICE vehicles.

[@mikej238]

@@jraheemjefcoat429. My daughter lives in New Jersey, drives a 24 Kia Sportage Hybrid. Same story you're full of 💩. Insurance is actually higher in Canada . Get a better agent. There is no " maintenance " on a hybrid battery and Toyota hybrid batteries have 10year warranties.

The 2025 Corolla hatchbacks are already out at dealers. So we basically already know that there are no updates between 24 and 25.

[@johnkonde1975]

2025 Corolla hatchbacks have been out at dealers since May. Toyota even released a press statement back in May 14 about the 2025 Corolla hatchbacks!

[@evoman44]

I personally would only buy a 2018-2022 hatchback because those were the only years it was available with a manual transmission. I won't settle for CVT even if it's the only option.

[@mikej238]

After owning the same Honda and Toyota vehicle for 18 years Toyota wins hands down. If I want an "exciting" car I won't be buying a Corolla or Civic.

[@rydgevilla8643]

Civic. Corolla is like a tin can on wheels. I noticed the difference real quick.

AT 6:36 you just pointing to the Corolla and saying Civic sedan lol. See how deep an impression you have with the Civic hybrid lol.

[@sn4rl277]

The only Corolla I would buy is the GR, but it is way overpriced currently so I'm out.

[@tyhyhh]

It's not overpriced lol

[@evoman44]

Me too. However Toyota really needs to make another sporty affordable alternative that slots below the GR Corolla. The FX model was a missed opportunity to do this with a manual transmission, LSD and tweaks to the engine and transmission gearing to make it feel quicker. Then it would be comparable to the Civic Si.

[@r3games1985]

They need to make a new GR Corolla that's not over $60. Scrap the AWD system and special 3cyl engine for a FWD hybrid system that's 220hp and under $40K. I'll buy one.

[@evoman44]

I totally agree. The FX model was a missed opportunity to make a more affordable FWD sporty alternative with a manual transmission, LSD and tweaks to the engine and transmission gearing to feel quicker. I recommend looking up a video review of the old FX16 on a KZbin channel that reviews older cars called - 1987 Toyota Corolla FX-16 review The 80's Hot Hatch the world forgot.

Corolla almost never gets the car design right or the proportions! 2024 Corolla is very cramped and half the car of a Civic !
