Gamifying the fuel economy of my '21 Corolla Hybrid is half of what makes it fun to drive. The handing is quite good. I also look forward to the rarity of brake jobs.
This Corolla looks like it has more features than I am familiar with. Does Canada have a different trim level than the US? For example I don't think the Corolla Hybrid in the US has heated seats or leather upholstery.
Yeah, Canada's Premium package is what we're getting in a week or so. Has heated everything incl steering wheel, softex leather seats, wireless charging, drivers set adj, amb lighting and few other goodies
I like Toyota hybrids, but reducing one's carbon footprint is a joke with that large battery. Manufacturing that battery is very polluting and will be until something better comes along.
@@claveyscorner3220 With a hybrid you're digging large pit mines looking for lithium and you're still using gas pipelines. And the battery manufacturing is very polluting. Hydrogen may be the best way to go in the future.
@@patricklondon6006 Remember this is an iterative process - no one claimed that hybrids and batteries in 2021 were going to magically save the planet exactly as is. By iterating and growing the technology we can get to a controlled supply chain that *does* - environmental lithium mining, sustainable hydrogen generation using solar/wind, recycled nicked/copper etc, blah blah *can* all be done with very limited or no emissions but it has to have the chance to grow. Continuing to burn gas, included imported from 1000's of km away, with tiny increments of fuel efficient gains is not getting any to zero emissions or anything close to that - it's a process that is going to take decades more
@@patricklondon6006 Better not use a cell phone if you're worried about lithium mines, or pretty much any other rechargeable device. Hybrids have much smaller batteries than electric cars, at least 1/40th the capacity.
We, still, can’t see these in Colorado…sold before it arrives. We now have two Toyota hybrids, both Prius…love them, especially able to go almost 500 miles on 8 gallons.
honda fanboys will say toyotas are boring here the problem people look for tech fun and warrentie look at resell value and reliability toyotas make their designs way simple and aleast toyotas dont add turbos to their engines
Hybrids pollute 1/2 as much as a regular engine? Tell us then what becomes of the batteries after they are depleted and unusable, where are these recycled? Whose backyard are they being buried in? It's a problem isn't it. Crickets.
Old EV batteries have two, sometimes three lifespans. They are stacked and used for server rooms or to power industrial machinery. Eventually a battery can be entirely recycled and its metals used for something else. You can't recycle gasoline. Once you burn it, it's gone.
@@claveyscorner3220 for some reason, yeah, I don't believe you. Maybe it's the forced labor of children that mine for these minerals to make batteries that make me question that.

@@lobster1002000 cause is not fuel efficient as they picture it and lacks power to get to 65 miles a hour it struggles and when’d I go up the hill in a high way I had to step all the way in to not lose momentum quick… I tested 1 full tank to see how many miles I would get in a normal commute (my 65to70 miles a day) and it would average 380 miles per tank and I hit traffic going and coming home all the time….

It would be nice to do a comparative match, maybe between a volt and this car, for instance. They seems pretty mutch the same at first glance.

The Volt is a plug-in hybrid while this isn't. Because the battery is much smaller here, multi-level regen braking wouldn't have a purpose. Thanks for your comment!
Your comment is a bit old now, but I'll reply anyway. I leased a 2018 Volt and now have the 2022 Corolla Hybrid. The Volt will GO FAST when you step on the gas. The Corolla hybrid will not! I used my Volt like a gas car and it was great. If I'd had a way to plug it in at home, it would have been even better. My only complaints about the Volt was that the head unit was buggy and the seat+mirror did not promote good posture for me. The Corolla is more comfortable to sit in and more fuel efficient.
5.7 liters/ 100 km = you driving that thing a little hard. Im getting 3.5 liters/ 100km. The electric motor kicks in when you are cruising so whatever speed you want to get up to you can just get to that speed and let go of the gas to initiate the electric motor and cruise only using the electric motor.
the car can easily pay for itself (over a standard corolla) before 100k miles, and last much longer than that. You don't buy a hybrid if you are only going to keep it a few years.

Love Toyota Corolla One of the most economical cars ever they just go and go 😊
They do!
@@Fumbiii16 lol
I just bought one for about $20,800 before tax. Love it, so far
That's a good deal. How did you get if for that price?
@@istik, I just requested prices from a few dealers on the internet
@@Dngrov257 thanks.
How’s the power? Is it adequate for merging? I’m debating between this & Honda Insight.
@@sunitjoshi3573, merging is fine.
B is for engine breaking when driving in the mountains not for regenerative breaking.
Braking, not breaking.
My dads friend has the original Prius with 700,000 miles on it.
When young I would have called this car every name in the book. Now “midlife” I’m thinking no maintenance or extra fees. Should I laugh or cry?
Cheap to run is cool!
It has an engine so still needs oil change every 6-months and need to get transmission oil changed every 5 years
@@coloradoboo1071 I believe it is every 10k miles for oil change.

We have a $2,000 Premium Package that adds all that.

My car can run 600 miles with one tank of gas during summertime. It is 64 mpg.
That’s phenomenal, is your MPG consistent?
Today the display showed 67 mpg. Normally It would be 63 mpg based on the calculation of gas filled.
BTW, it will be 55mpg in snow winter.
Oh me too
I heard someone say they can't remember when they last bought gas. I laughed so hard😂😂😂

It's still cleaner than manufacturing and transporting petrol.

I make great money and could afford any car I want, and I bought a hybrid Corolla.
your jacket suit well with the interior 😄
i just bought it 2021 very fuel effient 4.4 L /100 Km i drives a bit slow.
Haven’t done an oil change on my Corolla in 7 years and it still goes 🤙🏻👍
I recommend doing an oil change though.
@@claveyscorner3220 if it’s not broken don’t fix it
not good the vehicle needs the oil changed at least once a year and do the filter to. you will wreck you engine if you leave the oil to long.
@@GAZZA55 ya its like saying ahh who needs to drink water i am not dead yet
also who do you take the car to?? maybe they do the oil change for free lol
I buy one this week 😍 Touring Sports GR Sport 2.0 Hybrid
The 2.0 hybrid seems to be really peppy. Wish we had that in USA

1.8-liter.

No one mention that Corolla hybrid have really bad loud noise come from engine.
You can put proper sound insulation on hood and firewall and it will lower it a lot I think, cause it doesn’t have anything on hood

I was so close to buying one until Ford announced the Maverick, 40 MPG pick up truck for less than this corolla.
oh thanks for posting this! I'd never heard of the 40mpg Maverick.. wow that's impressive!
It's not available in India and when it comes to India
Corolla Hybrid vs regular Corolla: Spend $5,000 more on a car, so you can save $3,000 of gasoline over its lifespan.
Where is the logic of that?
You're forgetting all the times the car is burning no gasoline at all.
I don’t think you should be paying sticker, find good TOYODA dealership near you, you can get it 20-22k out the door.
I’ve been wanting to see a video or something showing this exact comparison. How exactly did you arrive at that conclusion?
the car can easily pay for itself (over a standard corolla) before 100k miles, and last much longer than that. You don't buy a hybrid if you are only going to keep it a few years.
