I like this color. I don't know if blue crush metallic in USA is the same color renamed or a similar color.
Enjoyed this review immensely as an owner of the first generation Touring Sports with the two litre engine and Excel trim. After 46,500 miles and three and a half years it has averaged 53mpg overall- the most economical vehicle I have ever owned. It's possible to achieve 60mpg (UK) without too much bother on rural or town routes, and even on a 70mph cruise on the motorway it will return 48-50 mpg. Very happy with it- only a dud 12 volt battery a few months ago spoiled the 100% reliability record, though I think this is a fairly common occurrence nowadays with a lot of cars. Would I buy another? Yup.
Cool!
I belive Toyota have a 15 year warranty on their batteries, did you have to pay for the replacement?
I’ve had the gen 4 2.0 gr sport touring since July 2022 and it’s a fantastic car. People saying that this is only a car for the elderly are missing out. I had an Octavia vrs before this and the Corolla is definitely the quicker car in real world driving, largely because of the immediate torque from the hybrid engine compared with the turbo lag in the Octavia. It’s also practically bomb proof in terms of reliability and very well equipped for the price. Seemingly gen 5 is even better.
The 2l is a game changer
I’ve just ordered 1.8L Fifth generation. Test drove 2L also. The extra power upgrade for the 1.8 means it has plenty of umph, you don’t really need the 2L tbh.
This is the car people need. Say no to EU’s ban.
It's nice that Toyota decides to become fun again
What are they banning?
This model will be gone for years before any ban on new petrol vehicles.
@@baronvonjo1929 Non electric cars
@@FBISHOJI They are coming out with a manual transmission for the hybrids in the coming years.
This Corolla still looks so striking to me. It's such a good looking car even in Estate bodystyle. Plus the usual Toyota attributes of excellent build quality, reliability and the smooth and economical hybrid drivetrain. A very appealing package.
@petitewhitegirl Agree. Especially GR spec.
Another fantastic review! Huge thanks to the Autogefühl team! I enjoy the details so much. (Door closing sound!!) This level of detail is important when assessing a new car. Thanks!
So much details. Definitely the best TH-cam car reviews. Thanks
cheers! Please recommend :-)
amazing review and finally a channel that shows the size of the trunk.
Thank you so much!🔝👍
Thomas, as always your way of reviewing a car is top. Just saw a review from a Dutch reviewer. Cant compare it with yours. Have fun with all the coming tests in 2024. Willem, The Netherlands
It's crazy what sound the 18 inchers let out vs. what 16" wheels sound like, both in the inside as well as outside the car. I wonder if downsizing will ever happen in this aspect. If you buy the top spec, you always get the 18s, even if you wanted the quiet and comfortable 16s. With certain designs, like black or gun metal, even 16s can look good. And of course they're better for the environment... less consumption, dust flying from ground (matters in the Nordics) ;)
I'm thinking of going for the 17" for a similar reason.
My mum brought a Corolla Tourer last year with 18's, brought 16s from the dealer and sold the 18s and tyres separately on ebay. It makes a huge difference to comfort and road noise.
The size of the wheel remains the same. It's just the comfort that differs. And the 18 has more 'rubber on the road'.
Thank you for this review! I have been trawling both youtube and google for proper 2023 corolla reviews for a weeks, and waiting for the Autogefühl review especially. Gonna order a 2.0l executive corolla soon and this review makes me even more certain that I'm making the right choice. Thanks again! Great review!
thanks keep tuning in !
Danke, dass Ihr den Durchschnittsverbrauch von beiden Motoren getestet habt. Tolles Video, wie immer.
Immer wieder gerne!
Thank you, excellent review as always.
👌
I ordered this car last year and can’t wait for it to come, thank you for your reviews, they’re always fun, detailed and informative 😊
👍👍👍
I really like this refined Corolla (I prefer the hatchback rather than the touring) and it promises astonishing drives in real day driving. The only thing that disappoints me is the outdated steering wheel design. My opinion is that it could have the Yaris's design with more rounded shape in the center. ♥️
Nice review, I love my touring sports hybrid for the comfy seating, fuel economy and great visibility for my short height. And the TSS being standard across the range makes even the entry level worthwhile too for effortlessly cruising!
thanks keep tuning in !
The digital driver's display looks great. Having the display in its own binnacle is much more elegant imo than the wide-screen solutions adopted by many automakers today.
Excellent review 👏
Thanks 🙏 please recommend 😎
Thanks for this review Thomas. Have you considered a Japan holiday where you can try out some Japan exclusive cars? I think that it will be very interesting to see your impressions and hopefully it will get you lots of views.
That d be awesome indeed
Thanks for that nice review with attention to a lot of details! Interesting that the drive mode selector is not changing the steering wheel forces in the new model: I have the previous 2.0 hybrid model. There the drive mode selector definitely changed the steering wheel forces. For that reason I like sport mode best in the previous model...
Interesting! Maybe it does but if it does, not really noticeable
Hi Thomas. Your reviews are really detailed, especially when you talked about the ecvt uses a planetary gear set, not a belt and cone system.
Cheers m8!
Thanks Thomas.
Prefer the 16 inch tires and wheels over 18 for better ride, better MPG, lower cost to replace tires, better protection to suspension against potholes.
Thanks, Thomas. Excellent review as always.
I have the 2023 Touring Sport 1.8 Design on order (6 months waiting list, apparently!) I currently have the Icon Tech version of the same car which I purchased 2 and a half years ago.
Your review at the time was influential in me making my decision to choose it.
It's been 100% reliable of course, and achieves 50.8 mpg in summer, dropping to 58.1 in winter. The advantage of the estate version to me is that I can throw my bike into the back, and it's great for doing runs to the tip with bags of garden waste, etc.
I've previously owned Toyota Versos in various forms; in my opinion, the Verso was one of the most useful and versatile cars Toyota have ever produced, for anyone with a family. If only they'decided to produce a hybrid version instead of discontinuing it!
Cool 😎
there is Toyota Sienna :) but in sale USA.
There never was a band on the Ecvt it has a planetary gear system.
Great review Thomas and welcome improvements to the Corolla, especially the gearbox.
👍👍
Very nice review, actually one of the best I've seen. This week i buy a 2019 2.0 l hatch model with many extra options. I can't affort the new model 😊
Cheers 😎
Ordered a top of a line model. Can’t wait for it
Certainly will order in June!
Very informative review as always. I have the Corolla here in Australia. We don’t get the 2.0 hybrid only 1.8 and the smaller screen only.
Thanks 🙏
I have same 2023 model but has red and black seats. Red stitching on dash. Love ours.
Finally acceptable, even beautiful digital speedo! That old one was kick in the eye.
King content.
cheers!
Hi Thomas another great review and extra points for getting the purpose of B mode correct….every TH-cam reviewer usually gets that wrong. My only thought is maybe try to review a bottom of the range and a top of the range versions as that may be of interest to many viewers? Regards Mike
Thanks 🙏
Usually they only have high trims sadly…
A good decision from Toyota to make more emotional designed cars. Reminds me a bit of the old Honda Civic from outside.
Wow that estate design so cool.
Nice car, love the blue colour. Need a better rear view camera though.
superb review Thomas, as always. as a Gen 6 2.5L Outback driver, hoping Subaru will take note of what Toyota has done with the Corolla engines, to perhaps in the next Outback UK/EU refresh they give more power and fuel efficiency -- or give us the turbo model!! 👍
Thanks m8!
Im sad Subaru lacks so much in Europe. It almost feels like they dont care about their european customers anymore.
Welcome to Mijas, Costa del Sol. That road you took is quit entertaining
Beautiful!
That rear legroom is a bit of a shock. Less than the shorter Honda Jazz!
Just picked up a Certified '23 with 6800 miles on it. I freaking love it, so far. My only reservation is the CVT. I'm fine with the performance (def peppier than past base model Corollas), as long as the reliability is there. Hybrid was a lot more expensive for a fairly modest MPG gain and 29 fewer HP. I maxed out on the SE, plus, the one I got was literally the only 23 or 24 corolla on a lot in my area. Metallic Gray - didn't pick it, but I like it a lot.
No worries there as it is not actually a CVT. It is an eCVT (or HSD) with a planetary gearset so the chance of that breaking down is about the same as a differential (because it uses the same principle) - so about none. No belts in there at all as in Honda and Nissan traditional CVTs.
Toyota are doing great work with this Corolla. The balance of new technologies and reliable powertrains make more a brilliant family car. Will you be getting to spend some time with the Land Cruiser?
Ordered the exact same car as the hatchback in juniper blue. It will arrive on the 18th of april at the dealer. Excited.🤗
Enjoy 😊
@@autogefuehl thanks, don't think that Will be a problem. 😉
Drove the precious model for 4 years and now upgraded to the 2023 business plus TS. Have to say I'm more impressed than I expected to be. Packed with options and more comfortable engine/drive-system. Also the lane assist works much, much better dan my previous car. I expected a bit better car, but I'm surprised how much of a difference it makes (but the extra options compared to previous first edition help with this off course).
Maybe Mazda 3 is better
This is one of the most exciting vehicles in the world. Built for amazing trips from A to B for people that don't want the hassle of the latest technologies, too much power, advanced chassis, and firm sport suspension. Toyota makes the best vehicles for the typical new car buyer, old people!
Wait list for the 2023 hybrid LE/SE. I feel like this car pretty much makes evs a waste of time and $, especially in 🇨🇦.
So the car has all the latest driving assistance technologies that you have to pay extra for on virtually all other manufacturers. Toyota also offer a ten year warranty, I tell you the excitement of my Alfa Romeo soon ran out after a £2000 repair bill and being stranded on the side of the road with my kids!
You mean poor people. They can't afford the latest technologies, more power, better chasis or suspension
@@da911beast Starting off with less money, feeling "poor" is unfortunate, but beyond a certain extent it becomes an excuse. I was pretty much broke after bills and putting what little's left into investments, did this for over 10 years (wouldn't have needed this long if I was more talented), now I live a relatively comfortable life.
What we do when facing constant adversity really counts.
@da911beast & @swong6757… so not spending thousands of euros on a car with the latest tech, better chassis and power just to drive from red traffic light to red traffic light, drop the kids at friends/sport, go visit family … and drive a real trip every other month at best… that classify me as « poor »? Cars are not assets, they are liabilities… the typically poor behaviour I see the most is people spending too much on a thing that makes them feel rich.
And if you’re passionate about sport cars, you should just not comment on a video about the corolla, it’s just not the place for your passion 😊
Nice color!
Just wish there was a proper hot hatch version for the masses. Yes I know about the gr version but that's limited availability anyway and not at all in the UK.
Love the car 💙💙💙💙 unfortunately some of the states in the 🇺🇸 required front plates also 😖 like Virginia (my home state) . I agree 👍🏾vehicles look better without them 😊 another fantastic review.
👍👍
The most beautiful hatch in the last 5 years maybe more , nice and practical interior , the exterior it's the best special with this dark Blue , good job Toyota
Good video as usual Thomas, can I ask you to try to review Mercedes Maclaren SLR , and what happened between the two Brands. 👍
Thanks !
Good review 👍. I'm also curious how much is fuel consumption changing during winter.
Thanks 🙏
It is a hybrid, it is pretty much the same increase as you would have in a common ICE vehicle - lower temperatures, winter tires, more AC usage and add less than 0,5l / 100 km to consumption.
On the last note, the more hp you use the better scenario for the 2L variant. Remember Top Gear M3 vs Prius fuel consumption show. It will only be if you really push past what is possible for the 1.8L but then there is no valid comparison to speak for.
Well done for a presentation of an affordable and reliable vehicle, finally!
cheers!
Great video. Can't wait for your review of the new Honda Jazz
We have it: th-cam.com/video/gOAqmK6hibM/w-d-xo.html
Thanks 🙏
@@autogefuehl The Jazz will get a facelift soon.
@@autogefuehl Imagine if the corolla hatchback has the same leg room as the jazz. It would be my perfect city + occasional autobahn car. 😭
The corolla looks better but the jazz is my pick
Seems like a nice improvement for the 1.8, will appeal to more buyers now.
love the new look of the corolla,
own the 2015 hybrid - got 3 tanks at 3.3l/100km until now, consumption w/o autobahn driving is at 4.25 l/100 km over 39.000 km.
i honestly love it, it's comfortable, reliable and economical. nothing compared to the BMW X3 e83 i had previously.
the better acceleration is everything this model needed, and the higher electric top speed. i'm really looking to buy the facelifted 2.0 hybrid now. the biggest turnoff are those low profile tires - stupid consumer trend.
Hello, I am interested, but how do you get such a good numbers?
I am driving Auris 2018 TS 1.8 and I can berely squeeze 5l urban, winter is even higher. And I try every little thing to decrease the consumption.
Thanks!
One thing i wish they would learn from germans is 40/20/40 rear seats split. It is really usefull for family car in my opinion. Even koreans managed to offer it as option...
Fantastic review as always! I wish we got the more powerful hybrid in the US. Along with the touring body style and better tech inside.
Thanks 🙏 please recommend 😎
Beautiful paint on this Corolla. Would be useful for you to mention or have a graphical pop up which mentions where the specific vehicle being tested was manufactured. Potential buyers which are supplied by those factories would have an idea of what quality to expect.
UK plant for Europe
At certain angles this reminds me of a late model VW Scirocco.
I was recently in the US for work and yes, while the front grill without number plate looks good, it is a huge problem if you’re finding which car is your cab in a hurry esp at airports 😢 You basically have to peek over each and every car and you only know which one is yours after it has passed you 😅
Hehe 😜
@7:33 That could be a very nice desktop wallpaper
Incredible product, amazing quality control, the pinnacle of cheap reliable transportation
German cars may be allegedly more premium, but i would much rather have constant Japanese reliability! Sorry Thomas 😉
Nice colour coding 😎
Cheers m8!
E-CVT is where it's at. Completely different than the old rubbish CVT with belt and pully drives. It makes full use of the very efficient (39%) petrol and electric engines, very clever use of planetery gears for continuous gearing and regenerative power, and actually makes for simpler mecanical parts. It's not a new concept, but nice to see on a Corolla. Anyway, Corolla Estate 1.8L will be my new drive, if I can find one.
Please check and comment on the lumbar support seat feature in each car test you do, in the otherwise absolutely best car review channel on youtube!
Thanks 🙏
I love your accent!!
thanks, please recommend our channel :-)
Greetings from Brazil, here I have a Corolla 2.0 2023 that has a combustion engine running on gasoline or ethanol (it's called Flex) with 177 hp.
Greetings!
Could you elaborate a bit more on the suspension? I know that for the pre-FL model you said that it is not as good as the germans.
Also, with the current prices, I’m really thinking what would be the best option. If I want to have the matrix led headlights than I have to buy the highest trim, which is around 42000EUR in my country. But for this price I can also pick up e.g. a 2 years old Audi A6, which should still be a better car suspension and noise insulation wise. So what would you recommend?
Ah sorry this was to the Corolla vid hehe. So an Audi A6 is ofc a totally different car. Maintenance will be higher, noise insulation and driving better
After watching some reviews for the toyota i really like it. The deal breaker is that there is no heated steering wheel. How can they only have heated seats and no wheel? My focus does have everything even the heated windscreen.
Thomas knew the color of going-to-be-reviewed Corolla in advance :))
=)
That is not difficult to guess. This blue colour is new so obviously Toyota wants to show it.
Sadly in Australia we do not get the 2.0 litre hybrid, only the low powered 1.8 litre hybrid, for reasons unknown. The fuel economy between 1.8 and 2.0 hybrids is almost the same (~5%?) but 2.0 hybrid performance is much better (7.5 sec versus 9.2 sec for 0-100kmh). Most of extra performance seems to come above >60kmh making 2.0 hybrid much easier to drive on motorways and on 80-110kmh country roads with better overtaking capability on single lane roads.
yeah you saw that low speed acceleration is rather identical, real power difference comes indeed at higher speeds
I don't know if I missed it in the video, but was cabin noise mentioned? Is it quiet on the inside or nah? People always complain about toyotas in that regard.
Oh and also Thomas, nice hairstyle
Hehe thanks
Was quite ok actually! They re not leading in insulation but it’s not that bad, is better meanwhile. EU corolla have insulation windshield though, US corolla is louder!
Would you consider going to higher trim to get matrix lights or stay with GR sport for the looks ( i like black details/roof much more)? Higher trim should also have acoustic windshield. I just cant decide.
Tough choice. I also liked both
@@autogefuehl I wish there was comparison between corolla matrix vs normal led lights...i just cant find any.
Wish we got the wagon here in Australia. We miss out on so many cars its crazy. We're a big island with a small population and high import taxes.
And you are far far away from everybody. Except New Zealand.
Wish the estate was available in the USA
No wagon version of this in the US, and the hatch is too short for my XC skis, so my only remaining option in the US is the sedan. Of course the sawn-off monster-truck version, the Corolla Cross, where one little lazily-positioned junction box in the rear prevents you from putting in a spare tire and the cargo area is still quite a bit shorter than the estate/station wagon. So annoying. And if the 2 liter hybrid wins on economy, why is the 1.8 hybrid still the only non-SUV Corolla hybrid option in the US, where if you want the 2 liter you have to get a Prius or a Corolla Cross hybrid?
You would love Alberta Thomas, no front license plates required and the worlds largest rat free landmass
😂
People laughed when Alberta installed approximately 2,300 miles of rat proof fencing around its perimeter at a cost of $40 Billion but no one who regularly goes to sleep to the sound of rodent gnawing is laughing now. 😉
Great looking car, I really like the exterior design. Toyota's have always been a let down on interior style and tech for me though, but this looks a decent effort. Appears to be a simple, unfussy cabin and response times on the touch screen look decent. The great looking seats are set against really disappointingly cheap looking areas (those cup holders are awful) but that always seems the way with Toyota. Overall though, I like it a lot and this generation could become a bit of a high point in Corolla design I think.
Are you blind??
Beautiful "Thomas Blue"
I think I'd take the new Civic over this as it's an all round better car with much more interesting hybrid technology. The Corolla does look nicer though externally and it's made in the UK so it's good for our economy.
hehe =)
I like the new Civic, I have 2 kids so the boot is still not big enough and there is no estate version. Honda need to improve their warranty length and back their cars more as it’s a bit rubbish at 3 years
I’m Belgian and I agree about the license plates… glad someone finally mentions it! Why can’t we just have white with black lettering like almost ALL other European countries? As a graphic design lover, I also must say the spacing between letters is way off, very sloppy, and the two horizontal lines are unnecessary, makes it very ugly. Grrrrr. 😅 Personally, I much more prefer the German and French designs. Besides that, very good review once again!
Hehe yeah 😎 quite happy about German plates, although defo prefer no plates in the front 😅
Why do Belgian numberplates have to look as any other number plate in Europe ? The colour never bothered anyone in probably 100 years except some German TH-camr.
Anyway the question of which colour to use was also asked by our Belgian government when they switched from 6-digit plates to 7-digit plates in the early 2010s. The white background would stay for readability. Some wanted black digits (especially the police so their cameras could better read those plates aka issue more fines) others wanted to keep "our" red digits. The compromise were darker red digits. Typical Belgian.
Hi Thomas ! What do you think about sound deadening ? Is it better than before ? Does it compare with its german competitors ?
They have indeed a special windshield in EU version which is different from US version. Already improved with new generation
German Premium is more silent, non-premium german is similar
Sound deadening in UK versions of the current version isn't great. Hopefully better on the 2023 version.
It would be nice to see a review of a base model which given how expensive Toyotas are may be the most viable option for most.
It would be pretty much the same experience, except you would have better comfort and better fuel consumption due to smaller wheels.
Is that blue Hatchback in Executive packet? (Eu)
The all black interior is just so boring that it would pain me to spend money on a car no matter if 30k or 100k..
Are the rear door top materials still soft like in the pre facelift?
Somewhat
Danke for the great videos Thomas! What do you think of the sounds isolation of the 2023 Corolla? Did you experience more tire + windnoise compared to rivals?
Thanks 🙏
That’s not their best field. However EU Corolla is better insulated than US Corolla
Toyota is still Toyota now with improved dynamics and also the interior and exterior are good upgrades.Good sized reliable and eficient engines so it is more than you want for the class.Good job Toyota!
Could you comment a bit about the noise in the cabin, please? I have pre facelift Estate and it’s super loud above 100-110 km/h… 140 km/h it’s really decent noise there. Not very pleasant…
No changes there
Looks good, but no BEV?
Is it possible at all to disable "simulated" or "synthetic" shifts on CVT? There is really no point to them...
Must be nice to get a Corolla Estate. Us here in the US have to make due with the Corolla Cross which, yes, it’s a good car. But the Corolla Estate to me is a far better vehicle.
is there a review for the new saloon/sedan version?
Not yet m8, cant get it in Europe. Maybe I have the chance to in the US
How come we don't get the hybrid in the US ?
Is there a way to tell how much EV range you get after X min of driving? For example, my commute is 45 min. 30 min average 70km/h then rest is city driving. Can I somehow know that I will have enough EV charge for city? I don't really know how E-hybrid works compared to plugin hybrids.
Same with long distance driving. Say that im going on a 3h trip. Will it use EV, then only gas, then EV when it is charged and repeat like that or save EV just for lower speed?
It doesn't work that way. The car will switch to EV or petrol/gas according to your driving style. Even at high speed it could use EV as long as you drive "economically sound".
As long as there is gas/petrol in your car it will drive. It probably drives on EV only also, though with reduced power.
The car recharges automatically (don't remember how that works, brake energy ?).
There is so much to discover and learn when I receive my new Corolla.
Hi Thomas, what do you think about the interior noise at higher speeds, let's say 120-130km/h? Some reviewers say road/wind noise is quite high compared to competition (octavia, ceed sw,...)
indeed this is not the specialty of Toyota so far
Test drove the Octavia and wasn't impressed by that car either as I had expected it to be more silent. The 2023 Corolla seems to have more isolation towards the engine in combination with a more refined drive system, but I find wind/tire-noise comparable to the previous model that I drove for 4 years. Besides that the 2023 Corolla is a very good improvement!
Does the 2L still loose booth space or they moved the battery?
like I said! :)
I was really hoping the Corolla Cross would be a lifted wagon. To chase the Subaru Outback buyer here in the US and to offer a Toyota Wagon. But sadly nope.
It's also very very annoying how much harder automakers try in Europe for small cars than they do here in the US. I was just on the Toyota Website here and absolutely no way to add the rear vents or connectivity. Same goes with the Civic.
The hatchback is also significantly more expensive.
No wonder people move to crossovers when a impractical sedan trunk isn't going to cut it. The Corolla Cross comes standard with rear vents. Absolutely ridiculous.
thank you once again. Do you think this is better than the new Civic?
Appreciated!
