Special thanks to our Patrons for their support of the channel! Corolla hybrid or Prius?

I just purchased the 2024 LE Hybrid and I love it. It does exactly what I need it to do: ultra reliable, best hybrid on the market, very basic with less things to break, will get me from a to b without leaving me on the side of the road, etc. I sold my 2017 Audi A4 and lost a lot of features, but I am past that point in my life.

Purchased a 2024 Corolla Hybrid XLE as a replacement for a buy back 2023 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid Limited. The Elantra had more passenger and trunk room, more cubby storage, quicker acceleration, larger 10.25" screens (vs 7 & 8 ") and ventilated seats. The Corolla has softer "pseudo leather" seats, a bit better mpg (55.6 after 700 miles), smoother suspension, a more conventional cabin and traditional exterior. The optional JBL 800 watt/9 speaker stereo in the Corolla sounds a little better than the 8 speaker Bose in the Elantra but both fill the cabin quite well. Lastly, the Corolla was $2K cheaper. The main reason for the buy though is reliability as the Hyundai's battery died within three weeks. Pleased with the "boring" Corolla so far.

These cars save you money, they are inexpensive to run, and hybrid will save you money. It has same hybrid system as prius. SUV prices and truck prices are up since inflation, your going to see more people buy small cars like the corolla.

I just got an le awd hybrid and so far it's been great rear seats area little small if you have tall friends and the interior is a little boring, otherwise the economy has been stellar, it's comfy and well equipped even at base trim, and it will be reliable and hold its value better than similar cars from any other brand

I have the 2023 SE AWD Hybrid (July 2023 delivery after 8-week wait) and I love it. No complaints so far except for: 1) the wireless charging pad which does not like phone cases (does not matter style and phone brand); 2) the front spoiler is also low whcih can be an issue in canadian winters; 3) easily scratched paint on plastic moulding (front spoiler); and 4) as for the 18' low profile rims / tires (nice looking) but would have preferred 17". I find that it is very peppy / quick acceleration as required. Much peppier than my old Prius V (2012) or a 2022 Prius Prime I tested. I recently saw a Corolla Cross Hydrid XSE locally and the driver told me he waited 2 years to get his. 'Got no time for dat...' The black trim with matt gray paint looked very sharp but the price, not so much. . Second Toyota car for me - I am hooked on their products / technology.

Toyota really cares about the Corolla. It does the basics really really well and the Hybrid gets you 50 mpg easily.

@saegaema Жыл бұрын

Your review was just what the doctor (mechanic?) ordered. Our Gen 2 Prius is getting very long in the tooth and though the new Prius looks surprisingly nice it's a chunk of change. Oh, no one ever told us,"Hey, that 2013 Prius of yours is epic." Still looking but will buy something soon and your review helps the cause. btw, your video is really well done. I watch way too many car videos (subscribe to hundreds, primarily a result of my other cars), I hope you continue to build your channel.

You wouldn't know it's the slowest if you get the 2024 SE. sport mode and that battery really helps with everyday acceleration. Still slower in a drag race of course but this is not the car to do that in!

I have the Camry Hybrid now and it feels too big for me. Your height would fit better in the Camry Hybrid. That Corolla ivory two-tone interior just pops on camera and makes a tiny vehicle look big despite your giant body. I just wish the seats had the cooled/ventilated button.

I heard that it struggles at higher speeds 70-80mph and the engine is very loud at those speeds. Did you find that to be true?

@dwnshft Жыл бұрын

not relly no - did a lot of highway cruising in that range and it felt very sedate. of course there will be wind noise and road noise, but when maintaining that high speed the engine isnt working that hard and it's quiet

@GotKimchi 11 ай бұрын

How is it weird that it is the slowest/least powerful engine. It's a hybrid which means an emphasis on gas savings and efficiency for the price. More power/speed is going to take away from those benefits and you might as well get a non-hybrid at that point. If you want more power/faster car, you are barking up the wrong tree (so to speak), that's what a GR corolla is for

@Remiladesusansarah 11 ай бұрын

He’s referring to that specific trim, the XLE. It’s surprising that its the most expensive of the corolla hybrids yet has the least powerful engine

@GotKimchi 11 ай бұрын

@@Remiladesusansarah ehh, it's a hybrid. It's not known for its power. They can put the most powerful engine in there, but then whats the point when you are going to have reduced gas mileage? you are buying a hybrid, not a sports car, so a powerful engine isn't what buyers are looking for. Pick one or the other. At least you have that choice. In the past, it was you buy a Corolla or a Prius.
