We just bought a 2024 Toyota Camry Hybrid SE Nightshade Edition ....❤️ it!
I recently took delivery on my third consecutive Prius (‘23 Prime 😎) over the last 17+ years and over 575K KM collectively… Toyota has the best system, hands down.
Only Honda and Toyota should have on the shortlist .they reliable and dependable
Fanboi attitude. in the covid period their dealerships were acting like the mafia and shaking people down. I bought hyundais. doing great.
Definitely a fan boy and goes with the crowd 😂. He doesn't even know the toyota engines die just like the hyundai engines. LoL only good hyundai engine is 1.6L and all v6s are fine.

tik tok is why i hate korean cars
covid is why i have japanese hybrids
japan having better prices than USA cars is why i hate ford
TL;DR bah humbug.
i love my car but im soooo glad i got it before the fiasco of car prices after 2019.
used cars cost as much as new cars
new cars have a 2000 higher cost than msrp due to supply issues
people get their "new" car in the next year.
its just insane, i feel like a boomer owning a house while the milenials are homeless, (yet its car ownership to carless folks)
its just horrendous how prices have gotten out of hand.
i get it when Luxury vehicles cost as much as a fixer upper home, 85k and up. but 50k for a feature loaded vehicle is a big ask. and while i dont mean to insult anyones income, 700 ish dollars a month for a depreciating asset begs the question... will the vehicle help you make more money or only cost you more money?
at least with hybrids, they can easily answer with reduced fueling costs, but are creature comforts truly worth that much?
idk, and i honestly cant explain car prices at all. since rarity means cars can literally cost 100s of thousands of dollars (just to collect dust and show off)
and others cost less than 1000 yet are only useful for parts.
to each his own, but at the very least can the middle of the line consumer not pay for a car that costs the same as a fixer upper home.
@@PrincePorter do share some links proving your claim? From what I can find the most reliable cars (hybrids and others) are made by Toyota and Lexus.

I’ve had a 2023 Camry Hybrid for just over 12 months now and I can confirm that it is the cheapest car to run by far. I average 4.6lt per 100kms and get 900km range from a 50 litre tank. It’s brilliant.
Probably the best hybrid comparison video out there aside from carcarenut, thanks for making solid content like this.
Toyota ! I own 2022 highlander hybrid and it’s one of the best
I agreed!!! It is the best 🙄👌👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻!!!
Great, informative video as always. Thank you!
Great video! Learned a bit as I didnt know the awd was different between companies.
For many consumers, they are not quite ready for EV's because of expense, charging infrastructure, and range anxiety, so a hybrid is a good compromise. Hybrids tend to have great fuel economy, and consumers don't have to worry about running out of battery life during long-distance driving or finding a charging station in more rural areas, especially one that actually works. Great video Shari.
In addition, the 2024 Consumer Reports Vehicle Report just came out and EV rank in the "they suck" category (except Tesla).
Consumers don't have to be ready for the BEV's (the mandate for ONLY BEVs is Marxist, because it eliminates our freedom of choice, based on the forcibly imposed left ideology that will never succeed because it is Utopic).
Based on real science, BEV's suck because they are very polluting, extremely dangerous, very unreliable, highly expensive, very impractical and [the most important "quality"] controllable (especially by the Chinese commies).
The claim of saving the planet is false - as usual, is about power, about controlling us, not about helping us.
My case is normal: I have very efficient ICE cars (Mazda MX-5/Miata ND2, Suzuki Jimny LCV 4x4 etc.), but also an excellent hybrid: Lexus UX 250h AWD F Sport - that I intend to drive till I'll die. Thank you, but no sh!tty BEV for me.
By the way, hybrids are not at all a compromise, but the best way to save the lost kinetic energy when braking (or even coasting) that otherwise destroys the brake pads, rotors etc. Also you save on the parts you don't need anymore: alternator, belts etc. Thus they are very efficient, taking the best out of both worlds: ICE and EV.
@@Steve_in_NJ Also, CR said that hybrids(not the plug-in type) are the most reliable vehicles. Plug-In Hybrids (with the exception of the Toyota Prime models) are the least reliable. The Chrysler Pacifica Plug-In for example is near the bottom for reliability.
I don't understand why people keep saying that hybrids are a compromise. Hybrids are the best of both worlds.
hyundai KIA hybrid make no sense.
battery replacement cost you $15,000.
its cheaper to drive V8.
Thank you for making everything easy to understand!
Thanks. Great review.
Great stuff man.
Watch your videos all the time, and I am very impressed with your knowledge of the market, almost purchased a Honda Accord Hybrid but after some research, I decided on a non-hybrid I am delighted with my 1.5lt turbo Honda Accord even a lower price not sold on a Hybrid.
Thank you! Hope you enjoy your Accord!
You had me convinced ro stick to these two and no others!
Excellent video. Thank you!
I’ve had my ford escape hybrid for about six months. So many reviews talk down the ecvt. I can’t determine why. I love the continuous smooth acceleration and the low mpg I get from mine. Car companies thru the last 80 years have bragged about their smooth shifting transmissions and spent big bucks to make them quieter. Now the have the ecvt and the want me to think it is better for me to feel and hear my trans shift!
Thanks, well done.
Absolutely great information. You break down things so simply and sensibly highlighting the most beneficial and challenging things we need to be aware of to make the most informed decision as s consumer. A million thanks for all of your hard work on all of your videos.
You are so welcome!
I've always had a Toyota but have been considering buying my first hybrid. Your report has convinced me to stick with Toyota. Now to decide, which one?
Excellent research and presentation, you provide us with everything we need to know to make a informed decision, Thank You! Javi G.
Glad it was helpful!
I was surprised to see Ford on this list, but it was a good surprise. Great video, learned a lot. Thank you and have a nice day!
I drive a Toyota Hatch 2023 and loves it, please provide some tips on efficient hybrid driving
Your information and advice is very good, I learn a lot from watching your videos.
Thank you!
I bought Rav4 Hybrid Limited 2022 🙄👌👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I wanted to buy a Rav 4 Hybrid but the wait time was 6 months minimum(acct the sales) so I got a CX-5 (gas powered) instead. Toyota's failure to make enough Hybrid vehicles to serve the market demand has been going on for years. If that does not get changed they will suffer from such arrogance! I like Toyota cars but when the sales tried to convince me to give up the Rav 4 hybrid and buy a BZ4X instead, I refunded the deposit and walked away.
I'd love to get a civic hybrid but with how Honda is pricing things lately, the gap between it and a camry hybrid isn't much. So likely a camry
A Civic and a Camry are two different price points. Corolla hybrid is a better comparison
@moeanthony9308 not sure what the pricing is like in the states but the civic hybrid in Canada is very close in price to a camry hybrid. It's preliminary. Maybe it will change. And maybe the new camry will increase in price.
@@mattwilliams7454 there is no civic hybrid released in Canada
@moeanthony9308 it's announced for 2024
@@mattwilliams7454 yes I know but again no final msrp announced too early to make comparisons
toyota hybrid is the best.
Nice vid! But wait, how about Nissan? Actually I was thinking about buying a hybrid Sentra ( available with a 1.2 lit NA + single-speed transmission in my region) but, wn I saw yr vids on Toyota and Honda hybrids I thought maybe I should buy one of those. It'd be great if u could compare Nissan (and maybe others) to Toyota just like u did with Honda and Hyundai. Tysm!
Great video Shari, thanks! Please comment on Toyota vs Honda hybrid systems at specific speed ranges. I rarely get out of the city or over 55kph and am wondering if that should affect the choice between a RAV4 and a CR-V from a mileage perspective.
Both are most efficient at lower speeds during stop and go driving. It's easier to get better fuel economy out of the RAV4, but they are very close.
@@carhelpcorner
Thanks for your reply!
I’m a retired Canadian living in Vietnam. Here, Toyota advertise 5.7L /100km for the RAV4 in the city. Honda advertise 3.4L /100km for the CR/V.
I am skeptical of the latter. The salesman said that Honda’s serial system was far superior in the city. Also, we are prone to flooding, do you think the hybrid batteries are waterproof enough for driving through water up to the bottom of the door sills?
@@darinlee8375 Toyota's hybrid is better than Honda's (see The Car Care Nut or others). However, knowing Vietnam, I do recommend an ICE reliable car such as the Mazda CX-5 (not the newer and less reliable CX-50). It will cost less and it will be overall more economical on long term.
I have a sportage turbo hybrid and love it
Great info thanks.
I would go Toyota.
I don't know where do you live if in Canada krown rust proofing is the best i do every one to 2 years my 2009 matrix still like brand new
I have worked on my friends 2009 Toyota Prius. It probably should get the battery pack replaced. However, it is still working after I replaced a faulty brake acuator. Not a huge fan of rebuilt battery packs.
Nice Video Shari, exactly what I am looking for. Currently I drive a 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid touring. I drive 30 - 32,000 miles/year and have 230K miles on my car in 7 years. Probably next year I will be looking for a replacement. I am looking at CR-V, RAV4, Crown Sedan or Signia, and Lexus NX300h. My current ride did not come with a spare, but I took out all the foam and found a full size spare that would fit in the space, and would do the same in the next car/suv as well. I know RAV4 comes with a spare, but not sure about the Crown models. I hate that the lexus models come with the run-flat tires. Do any of these car have enough space for me to stick a spare tire in?
They wouldn't have enough space for a spare under the cargo floor. You would have to just put it in the cargo area. Some buy a donut spare kit and just throw it in the back for road trips.
RAV 4 Prime......Outstanding vehicle so far
My neighbor across the street has a 2014 Prius, gets greater than 50 mpg; over 300K miles; and the Prius is his everyday commute vehicle. Toyota's hybrid experience is major reason that I bought a 2019 RAV4 Hybrid new. I'm at 40K miles. It cost $900 more than the non-hybrid model, but the fuel savings breakeven was at 18K miles. My No#1 dislike is the 12V battery all the way in the rear ... a super nuisance if the 12V battery is dead AND you want to get into the vehicle to charge the battery (only the front door has the key backup option). Heads up, just do NOT let the car sit without use OR trickle-charge for 8 weeks .... otherwise, great vehicle !! On forest "roads", TRAIL mode is wonderful.
A better description of the Honda hybrid, that emphasizes its simplicity, is that it is usually driven purely by electricity. But that electricity comes from a combination of a battery and an ICE-driven generator. This is called a serial hybrid.
There literally were two experimental version of the system in the Clarity, leased in California, where the electricity was battery-only, or battery plus hydrogen fuel cell.
The chief criticism of a serial hybrid is that the two conversions between electrical and mechanical power add what seem to be unnecessary losses. What these criticisms ignore is that separating the ICE from the wheels allows the ICE to run at its peak efficiency almost all the time. But that is also where the clutch comes in. In situations where power and speed do not need to fluctuate much - that is, on the highway - it becomes a single-speed parallel hybrid.
I have Toyota Venza and Love ❤️ it
On kia-hyundai don't forget to mention the HSG belt wich need to be replaced at every 50 000km in canada, seems costly...
Thanks!
Thank you so much!
The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV does not use a CVT. It does not have a "regular" transmission. It has a single speed transmission, that engages only at high speeds, above 75 km/hr. I would love to hear what you think about the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV.
I own a Toyota Prius 2006 model here in sunny South Africa. Last year I opted for a replacement hybrid battery and I am amazed that I now get better fuel consumption with the new battery pack. From purchase in 2010 I averaged 5.2 l/100 km. Now I am getting 4.8 l/100 km. It is a Nickel Metal Hydride battery but I don't know why it performs better. Should the new Prius come here, I am lining up to get one or the Lexus RXH versions if available. Thanks for the reviews and confirming my choice as a Toyota.
So the old technology Prius would get you 17 years of battery life; I wonder how long will the new lithium battery in the new Prius last, 30% better or 22 years?
South Africa may be sunny, but it’s a cloudy political mess.
thanks
Toyota and lexus by far!
😂 This is a no brainer. TOYOTA. 🇯🇵
Topgun. #1. 💯
The all new redesign RAV4 Redesign is shipping in the summer. Hybrid only now as all ICE variants discontinued. Huge HP Increase to 234. All new exterior and vastly improved interior. ✅
Without a doubt Toyota 👍
Nissan has a very good hev setup, which is just an ev setup with a petrol generator to top up the battery. If only they put a smaller engine engine in it would be more economical, but watch out for new technologies in the engine world we might just see this soon, Liquid Piston, Mazda's rotary, the only downside side is noise off these. They will run on any fuel, including e-fuels.
No car maker can equal Toyota hybrids for reliability. We drive an ‘11 Prius and a ‘16 Rav4 hybrid. Zero repairs on either one except wreck damage on the Rav4.
How have the water pumps held up?
Great video. We own 3 Toyota' s and I will only purchase a Toyota they have been great vehicles. We're looking to purchase 2 new Toyota Hybrids very soon....
You should mention the new Nissan X trail that is offering an innovative hybrid system that does not require plug in and uses a small endothermic engine just to recharge the battery, while all power to the wheels comes from an electric engine ( two electric engines in the case of the AWD version)
Toyota has it down a pat. Very reliable, very efficient, easy maintenance, batteries are relatively cheap to replace and service, very well thought out :)
If you can handle the CVT drone, imo, besides Honda, they are the ones to go for.
great info as always, wondering where you got that polo shirt from
I think Costco lol
Can you do hybrid SUVs with resale value in mind? Thank you.
After owning both Honda and Toyota, I have selected Honda for my last four cars. Honda is more fun to drive and has better road feedback. Toyota and its dealers came up with many ways to have you pay more. Although Toyota is enjoying better reliability but my 97 Camry had paint peeled off and engine burning oil problems. Unfortunately, it did not reach 100,000 miles before retirement.
Honda love to design cars that doesn't wanna to sell.
Like it's over priced for their products.
Thank you for the great video. Do you recommend staying away from the Kia Niro Hybrid? What would you recommend for a reliable small hybrid? I have limited space in my driveway. 76 inches length maximum. Thank you so much
Your best choices would be a Toyota Prius or Toyota Corolla Hybrid. Can't go wrong with either one. The Kia Niro would be third choice.
Thank you so much for the quick response. I am going with the Niro plug in. I like the look better than the Toyota especially the interior. The gas mileage is also better. Your reviews are great and very helpful. Merry Christmas.
Fyi, elantra hybrid is NA engine. It is not turbo engine like in video says.
@@carhelpcornerfor people who want to carry large items in the back, the shape of the Niro is a clear winner over the Prius (esp 4 and 5 gen) and the Corolla (hybrid not available on the hatchback). The Prius V is gone and the Corolla Cross hybrid has a multiple year wait on it. (Niro is not a turbo engine)
I happen to speak Japanese and shortly after the EU mandate on vehicle electrification, watched Japanese news round tables on the impact on their auto industry. It was commonly understood that hybrids were prohibited because European automakers couldn’t compete with Japanese (I.e. Toyota) hybrid technology, which is far more challenging than BEV. The round table discussants didn’t express resentment, it was more acceptance with some worry about Japan’s capacity urgently adapt to new rules.
This was before the U.S. mandate, but the American government motivation seems very similar.
Of course, plans in both cases are being stymied by a certain other Asian country.
In small cars,Honda jazz by far 😊!
In the real world Japanese made hybird Toyota 24-7
Is there any reason you have not referred to the Nissan e-power series hybrid vehicles? The Note e-powers have been out since 2016 and offer superior economy to most, if not all/any Toyota models. They are also very quick of the mark at around 8 sec 0 to 100kph. Nissan are now using the e-power systems in Quasqai (not sure of spelling) xtrail and Serena Van's. It is also looking like a very simple and reliable system using the tried and tested electric motors (on the smaller cars) from their Leaf models. They do not use a gear box, and run similar to the Leaf when driving. Economy on the Note e-power models range between 23 and 26k per Litre on real driving situations. City only driving is even better than the 26km per litre. Look forward to your reply Shari of the car help corner 🙂
Strangely we don't get them in North America. Nissan will be bringing them after 2025, and I'm looking forward to it because I've heard great things.
are 5k dealer markup common for hybrids here in bay area?
yes. 5k+for all toyota and honda. Hyundai is mostly MSRP in sedan hybrid
Find-a better deal. Fly out and drive back.
Very informative video. Thank you very much!
Toyota RAV4’s are great but I just can’t come to love the interior. It looks very old and and feels outdated
Late 2024 early 2025 should be a significant improvement.
@@johnmartin7158 That's good news!
As a soon to be buyer, I would choose Lexus UX or Toyota Venza. For all the reasons you listed. I would consider a Civic hybrid when they come out, but, no 4 wheel option and I like the way most 4 wheel cars sit a little higher.
Dnt get that super loud venza. I wanted to buy, but the thing was so loud on highway, I said forget it😅
The Venza will be gone soon. Its being discontinued for the Crown Signia in the Summer 2024. Looks really nice, except for probably the wallet.
me and my girl bought a new 2023 Lexus UX Luxury for $39K. We wanted a used Rav 4 in North Texas and they were all OVER $35K!
So we checked out the Lexus dealer, scrapped up 7k down and drove back up to Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.
Don’t forget to change the oil and filter within the first 1K miles. That’s when most wear occurs. Change it at the LATEST every 6K miles. If you do lots of short commutes (< 10 miles) change it at 4K. it’s $40 tops if you DIY and takes 20 minutes tops. worth the peace of mind!
Excellent choices. Both Toyota Venza and Lexus UX 250h are very reliable.
We chose the hybrid UX F Sport and we had zero issues in 5 years, low TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) - despite changing the oil often, at about 5000 miles, having applied chassis rust protection etc. And you get a serene ride, very comfortable and quiet - typical Lexus luxury - and a huge efficiency. The Civic (I used to have one in the 2009-2020 period) is far behind in quality and reliability (Toyota/Lexus is #1 in reliability while Honda dropped in the last decade to #6).
The top is very simple: Toyota/Lexus. Hyundai/Kia and Ford are far away from reliability and TCO performance.
Hyundai hybrid battery $15k & needs to be replaced at 170k. I would investigate the hybrid battery cost before purchasing a hybrid.
I'm on a RAV4 Facebook owners group. Why am I constantly reading that the a large number of hybid owners feel that hybrids should never be sprayed with the likes of Krown or Rust Check. Is this line of thought coming from dealerships or is it a internet rumor?
From what I understand is that rust proof is a waste of money on modern vehicles because they don't rust anymore.
When you do find out plz let us know
Dealers say this to sell their own wildly overpriced rust protection. Krown or Rust Check does not hurt the car in any way.
@@carhelpcornerthanks for replying but which 1 do you prefer?
I have a Toyota Corolla and I get 60+ mpg (UK)
Can you video on Bmw ?
Wait..so which models are effected by direct fuel injection carbon build up? You mentioned both Toyota and Honda having them. How is this information spread across different models and engine designs???
Toyota is better. There is tons of honda in stock but Toyota you will have to look for inventory as stock sells fast. Think about that.
Agree, but that may be due to the brand name. Toyota is the epitome of reliability.
TOYOTOA BY MILES THEY WERE THE FIRST TO BRING HYBRID AND THEY ARE ALWAYS UPDATING AND MAKING BETTER HYBRID ENGINES
I just priced out the high end CRV and the RAV4 Limited both Hybrid. The CRV is $4Grand more than the RAV4!!
Yes CRV $4K more than RAV4 but wait time is 1-2yrs due to demand. If you can wait sure, but if not get the CRV you still can’t go wrong with it! Nicer interior and also high resale value!
Got a 2020 CRV Hybrid EXL. No issues nor complains here.
Toyota is superior to Honda, hybrids included - check the Consumer Reports annual reliability survey.
@@codincoman9019I’ve zero trust in consumer reports.
@@user-wz1ri5gw2m amazing, as do most of the snowflakes.
Stuck between a Camry SE hybrid or Tesla model 3
Toyota seems like the move but 37$ a month in electricity sounds good to. Toyota seems like the best deal compared to the rest of the car brands even Honda
Even if you like that low amount to be paid on electricity (and maybe the amazing acceleration), the truth is that the BEV's suck.
They are quite expensive, the replacement battery is very costly (while a battery replacement for a hybrid is about 10 times cheaper), they burn (again expensive) tyres, the insurance is huge etc. They are highly unreliable, very dangerous if you keep them close to your house, very pollutant, not good on long trips or towing etc.
Toyota's hybrids are far better.
Of course toyota hybrid always the best i already owned a 2022 venza hybrid excellent on gas about cable corrosion people should take to rust protection at the krown rust proofing like i did for my venza it is solved the problem thanks for sharing your video take care bye from milton Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
Where in canada 🇨🇦 can I get the krown rust proofing done by the way am in toronto and is good?
New, the difference in price used to be $2.000 Camry gas/hybrid. Now the difference is huge. Which (Honda/Toyota) new or used has the better hp. I drive 90% city? Used, I am a senior and don't drive daily (5,500 km/y) in Toronto
If you only drive 5500 p/y get a Lexus ES used. Same as an overpriced Camry. V6 300+ hp quiet, smooth, comfy.
I don't understand why new.
Especially when you are a senior (just like me), drive little etc.
I am buying only with huge discounts, usually almost new second-hand reliability champions. The ES is an excellent suggestion and it's superior in many ways to its cousin (Camry), even though they share the #1 tech in hybrids: Toyota.

@@paulrodger3115 , from my point of view any of them are fine (hybrid - that I prefer - or ICE) as long as they are made in Japan or in the USA.

KIA: Warranty is worthless if it is ... worthless, thank you for mentioning longevity, and it's more than just the engine turning off and on.

Ordered a 2024 corolla le hybrid, hopefully it won't take a year to arrive haha
Toyota nuff' said:P
Ford's system is not a copy of Toyota's.If that were true Toyota would now own Ford. In fact Ford and Toyota co-developed the hybrid system and they share patents.
wrong, It's 100% Toyotas. They actually leave it open so anyone can use it.
No sir, you are in error. I was working for Toyota in the early 2000's. The development of the 2nd gen Prius was a by product of the co-op between Toyota and Ford. They were also working in tandem to develop a hydrogen propelled vehicle at that time with Ford walking away from the project a few years later. As to the legalities , I cannot say. However comon sense would dictate that given the Toyota/Ford set-up is superior, if the design were open, why would other companies be trying to work around it??@@mikej238
Can you recommend rust protection brand for hybrids? is difficult to know which one to choose
Well you should look for reviews on companies doing in your local area. Rust protection is not something you do yourself. Often because panels are taken out, it is a good idea to put sound insulation also at same time for minimal additional cost.
Also check with your dealer. Some companies application will void the warranty.
Krown or Rust Check are both excellent choices. Krown has been around 35 years and works very well.
Toyota is knocking it out of the park!
What about luxury brands? Volvo, BMW, Mercedes, etc.?
All those you named are out of Top 10 reliable brands (the only European producer is Porsche at #8, but its price positioning is too high).
The top 3 reliable brands is: Lexus, Toyota and Mazda. Out of that top are starting the reliability issues.
toyotas are the best
Why Toyota not use a reg trans with hybrid?
Less expensive and better mpg
Mitsubishi PHEV
Anyone that is on the market for a hybrid, don’t look anywhere else but Toyota or Lexus.
KIA, Hyundai and Honda hybrids are tier 2 and have not proven themselves when it comes to reliability.
Don’t even bother with a Ford Hybrid. The Ford CEO needs to be fired. Horrible management team.
👍🙏
too bad Honda has not figured out someplace else to put the battery like Toyota did so we can have a spare tire.
Toyota
The Corolla AWD Hybrid is the sheeeeit.
Honda and Toyota are the best
toyota
Seriously, Toyota is up to the fifth generation hybrid drivetrain in the 2024 Hybrid Max drivetrain. No one has perfected the hybrid drivetrain like Toyota.
I'm finding it difficult to choose between CRV and RAV4 Hybrid.. RAV4 here in canada is vapour stock. Can't literally find one.But Honda got plenty in stock. Is it worth waiting for Toyota or should i go for a Honda?
Toyota man , honda is not like before their quality dropped
@@TariqMansour1990 what about Cable corrosion issue in toyota
I recommend the CRV Hybrid, it's more refined than Toyota. Trust me have both..
Wait for the awesome new RAV4 shipping in the summer. Far superior to the old CRV that’s in stock now. 👍
The current CRV is smaller and the interior is inferior.
Honda. It’s larger, rav4’s are tiny inside and downgrade interior.
Toyota/Lexus are now using turbocharged engines in virtually all of their larger hybrid vehicles. My Sonata hybrid is not a turbo, and the transition between electric and gas motors is virtually imperceptible. I have put about 70k of flawless reliability on this car. Not debating your conclusions but I have had great results with Hyundai’s hybrid tech.
Fake info.
Toyota/Lexus still have naturally aspirated engines to opt for - like I did. And they have the highest reliability, far above Kia/Hyundai.
These Korean clunkers fanbois are such liars.
That's a big lie, Toyota and Lexus are using many naturally aspirated engines in Atkinson cycle for hybrids, like in my Lexus UX 250h AWD F Sport. 5 years and 0 issues (not even recalls). Not that their turbos are not good, but the truth is that the NA engines are more reliable.
And Lexus and Toyota are #1 and #2 in reliability, while Hyundai is out of Top 10 (according to Consumer Reports annual reliability survey and mechanics).
I understand that you subjectively praise your car, but the statistics trump your opinion.
Btw, 70k miles are far from being enough to talk about reliability. Come back when you'll be out of warranty for your Sonata and you'll face a low resale value and many repairs.
@@codincoman9019 please read my response carefully. I did not lie. I said their larger vehicles which include the grand Highlander as well as the new Lexus TX. Both are offered with what Toyota is calling the hybrid max system, which is a 2.5 L turbo charged gas engine combined with hybrid electric motors. Or maybe you just weren’t aware of this.
@@michaelhughett8396 you are manipulating the truth, making really stupid comparisons.
Almost all new cars come with turbos, not only from Toyota, but also from Hyundai or others (EPA is pushing for lower mpg/engines - on paper, because the reality is quite different). Thus, the comparison between your NA engine Sonata and the turbo engines from Toyota is dishonest, as long as there are plenty of 2L NA engines Toyota/Lexus cars (like mine) selling.
Is it clear enough?
Maybe you are not aware that your Sonata is not in the same segment with TX, Highlander etc. 🤣
What about Outlander PHEV?
The best plug-in, but not as good as Toyota/Lexus hybrids.
I have the Outlander Phev 2023 and love it. If most of your driving is non highway and you can charge at home it definitely makes sense. If you do mostly highway then I would skip as it only gets 26 mpg on the highway.
I always trust TOYOTA and HONDA strong reliable
The Japanese best brands are ruling.
However, the Toyota/Lexus is #1 by far in reliability, Honda went down to #6 in the last few years (according to Consumer Reports annual reliability survey, I See Cars, mechanics etc.)
I still have's heard any brands reliable above toyota yet or any other brands above Japanese made honestly if you know let me know
