Just out of curiosity, how do you give the Prius a .5 point for having 19” wheels vs the 16” wheels on the Corolla? The 19” will have a worse ride, the tires will be more expensive to replace, and the Prius with 19” wheels actually has worse fuel economy than the Prius with smaller wheels.

[@qnzman578]

For style, 19s aesthetically look better than 16s

[@ctgaming168]

Cuz some people these days care more about form. They don't care if they're worse as long as look nice. I know it's dumb.

[@jml9550]

I went with 17 inches on my Lexus ES350, the 19 rides rougher and cost more to replace. Don’t care about the look, it is not a Ferrari by any means.

[@ctgaming168]

@@jml9550 great choice. I also got bigger tires and smaller rims. Way better ride quality.

[@jml9550]

@@ctgaming168 yep, bought my wife a new Lexus NX350H in April and I specifically look for the 18”s with huge sidewall, 20” was an option but there is no way I want the thin sidewall and more expensive tires.

Thank you! More to come!

[@EricPerreault]

I'm surprised you didn't mention visibility. Unless I missed it. The new Prius has atrocious visibility. Sitting in one for 10 minutes I felt completely blind compared to the Corolla. You can't see out the back window, the side windows are all squinted and probably 4-5" shorter than the Corolla windows, and the steering wheel blocks the gauge cluster (why?!). This factor alone made my decision easy, when I had been torn between the two.

[@billholden20]

I have a 2016 Prius and I love it, but this new one looks so nice. My #1 concern has been visibility and I have been waiting to see one in person to probe this very aspect. Thanks for your insight!

Thanks for another great video. In a year from now if the inventory situation improves, please do a Prius le fwd vs Corolla le fwd. If I buy one, it would be with as little options as possible.

[@98XC1]

Really enjoyed your review. I feel like you hit the nail on a head with given 1 point per 1grand for corolla. Agree with some other people that prius started to position itself pricewise closer to camry than corolla. Was offered recently to buy brand new camry xse hybrid for about 36.5k out of the door. And if I would be faced with decision camry or prius I would opt for camry unless parking in a narrow areas is a constant headache. I feel that both cars attract people due to being hybrids and people mostly care about bottom line than about "sexy" factor. For around 6k you are buying probably 3 years worth of fuel. At the end of the day both cars will likely hold a decent resale value given toyota and hybrid names attached to them. I would likely myself buy a Corolla,but will give a credit to nice exterior and interior or new prius. If the price difference would be around 2k, I would opt for prius given hatchback design and its practicality.

[@abdullahhussaini7613]

[@CarConfections]

[@jayson657]

Agreed,one of the main reasons for buying a Toyota is the low cost of ownership. Replacing 19” tires is expensive, I’d rather have 17” wheels.

[@silvertube52]

Right, and the 17 inch wheels are part of why the LE Prius is the most fuel efficient. I don't understand why people want to pay more for a Prius (XLE and Limited) that gets worse mileage.

[@scottanthony3426]

Nice job guys! Good to see you younger guys dissecting cars and making comparisons. Looks like a case of getting what you pay for to some degree. Not sure how big your hill was for the 0-60 pull in the Corolla, but it seemed to labor. With today's faster traffic (and EV's too), too much sluggishness is a liability in some situations. If you don't want to spend that much on a car, the Corolla will also be inexpensive to own and maintain, hold it's value, and likely be trouble free. Been reading some whispers that the Prime (plug in hybrids) from even Toyota are having some reliability issues. Unfortunate. Keep up with your work and if you ever get a chance to network with guys like Zygrene, The Topher, Engineering Explained, Savage Geese and Everyday Driver, jump on it. Great to have a car community for people who view cars as more than appliances (although this test leans that way, but even appliance like cars have a role).

The dealer markup for Prius is just insane. Haven't seen a Prius below 40k in my region, and many are way over 50k. For Corolla, I only saw one dealer with 1k "paint protection" bs, and the rest all have none.

[@lukeholler4364]

I agree with your comment, I too have not seen a new Prius below 35,000 and that is for the basic LE model.. I live in Arizona.. I currently drive a 2005 Prius 169,000 miles, have no issues but simply was considering purchasing the new model Prius LE, the internet and Toyota was showing MSRP at $27,800 for the LE model. Was going to make the purchase but I cannot find that MSRP price anywhere.. Dealers here are asking $35,000 for the Prius LE. ALL BULLSHIT!! Keeping my 2005 Prius, and when I do see someone driving the new 2023 Prius I simply laugh knowing they paid over MSRP.. SUCKERS.

[@soppybottomboys1195]

These dealer mark up rates should be Illegal. Ford told the dealerships they can't mark up new vehicles so these dealer ships are now marking these new vehicles with 10 miles on them as used with no warranty for way above market value. I can't wait until all these dealership go out of business

I just put a deposit down today on a Corolla XLE Hybrid with JBL stereo at sticker.

Lastly, I could not see the cluster through the steering wheel and wanted a moonroof that opens. I would have appreciated the heated steering wheel and vetilated seats though. In the end it's just an appliance for my 76 mile r/t commute and have an SUV for hauling/towing and a Vette vert for fun. Thanks for the comparison review.

[@grantmorgan9689]

Excellent comparison. First, a correction. The cars that are out are 2023 vehicles. 2024 vehicles come out at the end of this year. Your video mentions 2024. Second, I have had the Prius for the last 5 generations. I switched in 2020 to the Toyota Corolla Hybrid. I always lease my vehicles every 3 to 4 years. As a commuter car, it was fantastic. Only available in the LE trim in 2020. It was around $23000 . I intended to get a Toyota Corolla Hybrid XLE fully loaded for about $29000 in 2023 when my lease was up. Then I went to the Jacob Javits Auto Show in New York and saw the new Prius. It blew me away. It looks like a Lamborghini. All dealers in the Northeast where I live are getting $4000 to $8000 over sticker. They are arriving at about one Prius to each dealership monthly. They only come with all wheel drive at about $1500 extra. My Prius XLE with all wheel drive and moon roof and the 12 inch info screen ( the latter is a must visually) came in at about $36000. I paid sticker. The color I received is a premium color and is, in my opinion, the most visually attractive one..the hot red color. The price difference of between the Toyota Hybrid Corolla and the Toyota Hybrid Prius exceeds $8000. It is worth every penny. I have been told by my dealership that there is a 12 month wait for the Prius. In the 2 months I have had the vehicle I have been stopped by over a dozen people, including those with the previous generation Prius who have given me a thumbs up. 👍 Practically speaking on a cost comparison and for commuting to work, the Toyota Hybrid Corolla is the way to go, but the Toyota Prius Hybrid is a once in a lifetime opportunity that people compare to a Tesla and Lamborghini if you can find one!

I travel almost constantly with a service dog who will go from the rear seat to the passenger seat. In doing so she will use the center counsel as a step. So in the month I've owned the car there are three small tears in the foe leather caused by her claws. I understand that this won't be an issue for most drivers but for over $30000 I'd expect better materials being used. Especially from the Japanese. For comparison, my other vehicle is a 2007 Chevy Avalanche with leather interior and NO marks whatsoever from her claws or anything else on it's center counsel.

[@lukeholler4364]

You compared the "top of the line" of both vehicles - Prius - limited and the Corolla XLE. WHY? Why not compare: Prius - LE and the Corolla LE * The average consumer is simply looking for an average car price, a price that we/ I can afford and simply put " more value for the buck" Skip the moon roof the fake leather seating, cool seats.. Again, simply asking why did you select the top models to compare in both vehicles?

Automakers rarely, if ever, provide journalist with low trim models. The only times we have them are when we find them ourselves at dealerships and neither of these two are readily available in our area 👍

I’m an “average consumer”, & I DON’T WANT the strippo version. Just because they’re practical cars doesn’t mean that you have to punish yourself & get the most basic version.

100 prius far better looking car plus corrola too many on roads prius more unique and inside feels more spaced and comfy inside

[@kevinsargent6282]

Decent review, but the final score should not be as close as you scored. IMO you are weighing price WAY too much. 6 points for $6000 less? That is 80% of the Corolla’s score… just because it is cheaper, lol. By that scoring logic, a Corolla would absolutely DESTROY a luxury car. 🤔😂 Of course, with the price difference, Prius offers many more features, power, performance, etc that are not offered on the Corolla, so comparing them as if they are apples to apples is disingenuous. Obviously, with the Gen 5 Prius, Toyota has made the strategic decision to move the Prius upmarket by improving performance and adding available luxury features like memory seats, glass roof, power hatch, digital mirror, digital key, etc, which were never available before, so it is no longer the twin brother of the Corolla as it was in prior years. That said, scoring 1 or 2 points for the price advantage would have made more sense. As far as I am concerned, the new Prius wins in every objective category over the Corolla (performance, efficiency, practicality); the ONLY objective advantage of the Corolla is that it is more budget friendly, but as mentioned you give up a lot to save that money. That, and if you really prefer the sedan and “conventional sedan” style but that is very subjective. Personally, I think the hatchback design is hard to beat and uber-practical (as a 3-time Prius owner, who recently got a Yellow 2023 Prime 😎🇨🇦). Cheers.

Corrola definitely not compared model for prius it's like aygo vs yaris

[@michellehu8264]

No comparison. Prius is $5000 to $6000 more than Corolla.

[@mrxman581]

Yeah, you weighted the price points way too much when compared to the feature difference. You're basically saying the price difference is just about equal to the superior features of the Prius. In a word, you're saying those superior features are not worth the price difference. That makes no sense. Because it's a subject scale as well in real terms, and yet you give no points for style and design because it's subject. Weird Lastly, the multiple commercial breaks are too long, 20+ seconds each? C'mon.
