Exactly plus apple car play, great safety features, a huge screen for waze and probably an easier resale considering this will appeal to a larger market in a few years.
I’m not selling mine for cheap I’m expecting $15,000 with over 150 k miles I don’t play when it comes to this car I’m taking no 💩 💩 💩 from no second buyer trying to get a good deal
I still see the 1998 Toyota Corolla and older on the streets, I owned one that lasted 214,000 miles, It got me home during hurrican Sandy while other brands were stuck on the side of the road with there Hazard lights on. I for sure recommend the Toyota brand to anyone who is looking for a reliable long lasting vehicle.
I do agree with the reliability of the Corolla. But you not being on the side of the road during a hurricane has nothing to do with the car but more with driving skill. Those people probably couldn’t see or were scared to drive further.
I heard the brakes feel weird/grabby, is that true? Do you get used to the regen brakes? Can you actually have a little fun driving this 2020 Corolla hybrid??
@@braetonwilson4296 mine seem fine. Love the car, wish they made one with a sunroof. the gas milage is awesome and very low maintenance. Tires cheap and brake will last forever.
If you watch Doug for a car review then you are watching him for the wrong reasons. I like a proper review but I also like what Doug does with his Quirks and features.
There isn’t going to be any left overs , these cars are holding msrp with even 60,000 miles so better get one now I’m keeping my corolla hybrid for 20 years
The 2020 corolla hybrid doesn’t have all the extra weight from blind spot , rear cross traffic and you can really get all the Noh you want (up to 56 mpg everywhere you go)
Bought one last week. First hybrid! Nice, and cheapest car I ever bought. If I didn’t have other cars, lack of features would bother me more... any questions for an owner?
Made in Japan was a big plus for me as well. Also, picked up CX-5 earlier this year, another Made in Japan... By the way, this Corolla Hybrid replaced a 2020 Soul Turbo that got wrecked. Not exactly comparable, but I like trying different cars
Steve Jones no fill ups yet, but trip computer says about 54 mpg, on par with sticker... Range started at 670 miles... hope to improve MPG as I get used to it... coming from turbos, I have a heavy foot off the line.
Yes I’m getting better than advertised mpg like every prius owner since it’s the same hybrid engine now with a 100k mile battery warranty. 58 & 56 mpg on my first 2 fill ups in mixed driving.
I bought one. Love this car. I bought an iPhone to use apple car play (android user), no android car play. The stock infotainment center is useless, slow and clunky. Bought a cover for the center console armrest. I disagree with the you on the interior door panel. It’s easy to clean. Unlike the previous Prius, this car will get unreal gas mileage with aggressive driving. A simple windshield replacement will cost you almost 1500 bucks (thanks for insurance). 900 for replacement and 400 and some change to get lane assist recalibrated at Toyota, which is mandatory. No spare tire. B.S. fix a flat kit, to save weight I assume. 0-60 doesn’t mean much in real world driving. It accelerates nicely in power mode. Speed is not a factor anyway in this demographic. This car is rock solid. A classic dependable Toyota. Would buy this car again in a skinny minute.
I heard the brakes feel weird/grabby, is that true? Do you get used to the regen brakes? Can you actually have a little fun driving this 2020 Corolla hybrid????????
We all would have bought the hatch but the Prius would become obsolete even with the advent of the AWD Prius. It’s a problem Toyota will have stateside until the Prius following declines and the demand for carolla increases as it’s the #1 selling car in the world, stateside however....
One thing that would enjoy knowing that I hope you cover in your videos in the future is the location of the backup camera. Some manufacturers integrate it better than others. It would be nice to know if I would have to go back and wipe the thing clean every time I go out on a drive because of the location it's in.
The corolla hybrid feels very comfortable inside it doesn’t feel like there is useless space in the back like you do in a Prius , not as much space but it’s comfortable
I think it’s a great car. I own a Prius and a new Camry. This is way netter then the Camry hybrid because it gets much better mileage. I didn’t get the hybrid Camry because 40mpg for that price just isn’t worth it. This new Corolla looks much better then the Prius.
Nsxtcy I couldn’t take the Prius exterior or the offset interior dash giving my neck a workout. This appeals to far more people in my opinion. Sure it’s not a hatch and lacks better trims but it’s the first year.
Paul DeNunzio I totally agree with you. It has much better styling then the Prius. I would totally buy this. I passed it up because I needed the room of the Camry but I really miss the fuel mileage. My wife has the Prius now we drive that a lot still
I don't think you can get Blind Spot Monitor even as an "option" for this Hybrid Corolla. That's a major safety omission by Toyota and it would steer me away from this otherwise very decent, economy car. I think you're right, Joe ...for a few grand more, you could buy a Camry or RAV4 hybrid in LE trim and have a more substantial vehicle and also get BSM.
$29,400 on rav4 to get the BSM option is not just a few k’s $ at 41/38 mpg. That’s nearly 5k $. I’d say 3 years the bsm will be optioned with more carolla trims that the resale value would justify the upgrade if one can manage to drive safely for that long without BSM. Oh how did we manage it for so many years without.
Hybrids do not have a CVT in any way shape or form, its one gear ratio, with the engine on a differential device. Toyota's choice of "eCVT" as a name has got to be the single most worst choice of naming in the history of automotive tech naming ever..
I heard the brakes feel weird/grabby, is that true? Do you get used to the regen brakes? Can you actually have a little fun driving this 2020 Corolla hybrid?
@Noé André No, I have a 2018 Honda Civic EX-L. But I'm considering getting a Toyota Camry Hybrid SE soon. I just hate the Prius so much because it handles poorly and I wasn't a fan of the Corolla Hybrid since it only comes in the LE trim and the amount of plastic, but it's definitely better than the Prius.
Personally, I believe the insight may have the slighter advantage here. The Corolla hybrid boasts a slightly higher MPG at the cost of a severely underpowered engine. The Insight, IMO is the one that’s styled more elegantly. Not only that, but the insight has 151 hp compared to the sluggish 121 of the corolla. At the end of the day, it depends on the person.
I bought a new 2020 Corolla Hybrid and like everything about it but do wish I could find a better place to store my sunglasses other than the front passengers seat. I drive it easy and I am consistently getting in the mid to high 60 miles per gallon. Looks like I get less mpg during cold weather when I need the interior heat. I guess heat comes from the gas engine and it runs more than the electric motor during cooler weather. Still great car, great technology, great mpg all from the proven Toyota company!
rich fost same here, colder weather kicks on the motor so getting a touch less mpg, I store my sunglasses where my iPhone goes in front of the shifter, kinda like a swap.
I heard the brakes feel weird/grabby, is that true? Do you get used to the regen brakes? Can you actually have a little fun driving this 2020 Corolla hybrid????
Braeton Wilson I notice that the brakes are different (apply quickly with less foot pressure on the brake pedal) at slower speed than at normal speeds. I do often feel the automatic emergency brake apply when I am stopped and put it in park. I am getting a consistent 65 mpg. More mpg during the warm months and slightly less during the cooler months - I guess the gasoline engine has to run more than the electric motor to produce heat for the cabin. This the best car I have ever owned and a local Toyota dealership was just as good to have it serviced as the Toyota dealership I purchased it from.
@@oaktreeviewing Thank you for answering! Do you get used to the different brake feel or does it still feel weird/uncomfortable/difficult? How is the handling, is it easy to drive the car?
When i saw the corolla name it make me remember the childhood times but the only corolla i like is in the game 'need for speed 2:underground' . The sweet memories of winning . But yea the new gen sure great era are changing .
i'm considering Corolla or Corolla Hybrid, and driving only 4500 miles a year, it would take me 17 years to break even from spending the extra $4500 for the hybrid. does the hybrid motor still have the metallic noise upon deceleration/acceleration? that's the only reason why i really don't want one. i do like that there is now the option to have a toyota hybrid small sedan, but not in a prius form.
Hey I was thinking of getting a Veloster turbo 2019, but I was wondering if I should get it manual and learn or it would be more convenient to just get automatic, I wanna have fun driving a car like this, but I want your opinion on what you prefer! Hope you reply
Definitely not interested in these "i need anything to get from a to b cars" but I'll watch regardless bc I know I'll learn a thing or two, as I always do thanks to your reviews.
The regular Gas power LE is $3000 cheaper. That'll buy a lot of gas. It'll be over 40,000 miles before the hybrid saves You any money on fuel. Plus the hybrid is slower.
For sure it's reliable, but imo, the Honda Insight is the better executed and designed hybrid in this class. I still wouldn't buy it though. My money would go to the larger Honda Accord Hybrid, preferably in touring trim. The newly introduced Sonata hybrid with the solar roof could be interesting also.
Insight has also been around longer so comparing a first year carolla hybrid that has the Prius in the same family is a tough ask when conflict of interest could have eliminated the Prius completely if the Carolla was done to high end hatch spec. Granted I respect your decision to like & choose, we are free to do so in a US market.
Love the channel! I do like the corolla hybrid, but i wouldn't buy it as it becomes moot when you compare it to the Camry Hybrid. Camry gets noticeably better horsepower, other cool features and practically the same exact MPG. It's strange to me that you can have both HP and decent mpg, but Toyota decided to nerf the corolla anyway.
This is literally my next car I drive a 2011 rav4 and I don’t need such a large car for myself and I need something with better than 18-20 mpg lol The only thing I’d want on this car is the turn signals on the mirror but otherwise the stuff this car comes equipped with is more than I have now and need Lmao
tehy should have taken the hatchback and gave it the 168HP engine and mated it with the hybrid system. The Insight is 151 HP and has good acceleration. But the Insight gets not as good MPG. especially over 60mph. If you are going 70mph the MPG goes down. does not happen int he corolla hybrid or the prius.
For the price, the weight, the Horse power. a regular non Hybrid corolla would be better. You;d get better acceleration and resectable gas mileage with a non-hybrid corolla.
I still think they should have still had another trim level for the hybrid for this who want all the "bells and whistles" and have it be a hybrid. Honestly kind of a missed opportunity
Need 10 years to cover the prices different, may can save 3xx per year,need 10 years to cover the different between petrol only model and much slower .
U know what Joe your right this is not my cup of tea either. I don't like Hybrids at all, don't like the light headliner, CVT!!!, the hubcaps, interior, cheap materials all around, the buzziness from the CVT etc.... Would love to see a 2020 Toyota Tacoma TRD 1 day. So sorry Joe I have to let u know my perspective of this 2020 Toyota Corolla Hybrid 🤯. Thanks Joe.
@@RaitisRides I had a 2017 Prius and I would get a lot of crap about it. Dirty looks. Called names even. I wonder if this Prius with a corolla body will get the same flak. Accidentally crashed my Prius. Looking at this hybrid. I know the Hyundai Elantra hybrid is also up there next to these hybrids, but I know how reliable Toyota is... not so much Hyundai. Hyundai looks a bit better. And the worst part is, the civic 2022 is SUPER sexy inside and out, but the mpg is not up there next to these hybrids. It’s a hard decision.
According to Honda hybrid forums telling us that they’re getting less than the stated mpg and Toyota hybrid forums telling us that they’re getting more than stated mpg Toyota in the real world wins this, not the paper Honda version. Yay!!!!
How soft have we become that a cloth armrest is painful to put elbows on smh. Toyota could turn it into a padded room but then this cars MSRP would be $27-28k and nobody would buy it.
This is the first carolla hybrid only in LE where as the rav4 is hybrid is in all trims. It’s clearly testing the US market in its first year since you can get a hatch/wagon overseas which we’d all realistically want here stateside but then they’d compete with the declining Prius sales. The market is now flooded with options. Maybe the Prius AWD will pump up sales. It’s clearly fighting a battle for style, functionality and price. But resale on this in 3 years will hopefully overtake the Prius. Having a hatch/wagon, a larger fuel tank, sunroof and lumbar are my only zonks on it. As for one who wants great gas mileage, modern features of safety and apple car play with a large screen that is an A-B commuter. Good luck competitors but you’re far behind an LE version.
No thanks! Feels cheap & dowdy, like sitting in the lobby of WalMart! I don't like hybrids...Not to mention repairs on hybrids are outrageously expensive. Who wants to pay $3,800 for a replacement hybrid battery like my friend did on her 6 yr old Prius? That wipes out all your gas savings! Ordered my new 2020 Highlander GLE for December. Waaay better!
Keep sticking to your gas version, replacing timing belts & brakes. Toyota now has 100,000 mile hybrid battery warranty. Check your Toyota hybrid forums from real users but I’m sure your math is right.
121hp controlled by CVT for over 22? No thanks, the cars slower than a Crosstrek and almost as ugly. Oh, well, at least it doesn't have fake duel exhaust...which is totally bogus...and totally Toyota.
Basic hybrid transportation for those who want high MPG’s and don’t want a Prius. Plus it looks better than a Prius. Well done Joe! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Exactly plus apple car play, great safety features, a huge screen for waze and probably an easier resale considering this will appeal to a larger market in a few years.

Do some heavy duty diesels. GMC, DODGE, FORD. Thank you.
I am waiting for the 2020s to get in.
Toyota USA has to offer this in SE and XSE trim. Also why no hatch hybrid? Makes no sense...
This are excellent questions.
The ultimate commuter car when gasoline is at $6 per gallon (like it is in British Columbia, Canada).
That is a very good point!
tehy should have taken the hatchback and gave it the 168HP engine and mated it with the hybrid system. The Insight is 151 HP and has good acceleration. But the Insight gets not as good MPG. especially over 60mph. If you are going 70mph the MPG goes down. does not happen int he corolla hybrid or the prius.
For the price, the weight, the Horse power. a regular non Hybrid corolla would be better. You;d get better acceleration and resectable gas mileage with a non-hybrid corolla.
I still think they should have still had another trim level for the hybrid for this who want all the "bells and whistles" and have it be a hybrid. Honestly kind of a missed opportunity
Better than d4d??
Yes
Great rental car surely👈
You are so right!
Need 10 years to cover the prices different, may can save 3xx per year,need 10 years to cover the different between petrol only model and much slower .
👍
14:25 Trying to make the car sound cool... “You’ll be passing up gas stations, left and right...” in the most unenthusiastic tone of voice lol.
LOL!
U know what Joe your right this is not my cup of tea either. I don't like Hybrids at all, don't like the light headliner, CVT!!!, the hubcaps, interior, cheap materials all around, the buzziness from the CVT etc.... Would love to see a 2020 Toyota Tacoma TRD 1 day. So sorry Joe I have to let u know my perspective of this 2020 Toyota Corolla Hybrid 🤯. Thanks Joe.
I want the honesty bud!
@@RaitisRides That is the honest truth Joe I'm very clear. I'm sorry if I made u mad 😬.
Jay Patel not at all because I say the Truth!
@@RaitisRides Oh ok 🤣🤣 LOL
First
Hi Jay! Great job man!
@@RaitisRides Kind words of u to say Joe thanks so much man
13:55
Thanks for watching!
@@RaitisRides I had a 2017 Prius and I would get a lot of crap about it. Dirty looks. Called names even. I wonder if this Prius with a corolla body will get the same flak. Accidentally crashed my Prius. Looking at this hybrid. I know the Hyundai Elantra hybrid is also up there next to these hybrids, but I know how reliable Toyota is... not so much Hyundai. Hyundai looks a bit better. And the worst part is, the civic 2022 is SUPER sexy inside and out, but the mpg is not up there next to these hybrids. It’s a hard decision.
@@RaitisRides and thank you for the content! Love the Twinkie, nuts, and calzone mentions. Crack me up
This car is on my list for hybrid/electric car after my Jetta, but it has more zonks than I need
Take one for a spin. I would love to know what you think.
I want to see Toyota vehicles
I will have more to come Fabian.
biden gas prices has me heavily considering a Corolla Hybrid
Why not just get a Prius
Design, resale of selling a hybrid carolla vs Prius might appeal to a larger market. The styling on this is quite nice.
The Hyundai sonata is better in my opinion
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Matthew! I really appreciate you watching!
Is there a secret code amongst car makers? Did they signed a sacred and secret act; and promised to not to give people a hybrid station wagon?
No satellite radio, $24K - both things the Insight beats it at. Lower HP & PFT, -- 😂 Toyota cream?
I feel your pain!
Insight LX/EX are rated 55/49, avg of 52mpg. Honda wins this matchup.
According to Honda hybrid forums telling us that they’re getting less than the stated mpg and Toyota hybrid forums telling us that they’re getting more than stated mpg Toyota in the real world wins this, not the paper Honda version. Yay!!!!
How soft have we become that a cloth armrest is painful to put elbows on smh.
Toyota could turn it into a padded room but then this cars MSRP would be $27-28k and nobody would buy it.
This is the first carolla hybrid only in LE where as the rav4 is hybrid is in all trims. It’s clearly testing the US market in its first year since you can get a hatch/wagon overseas which we’d all realistically want here stateside but then they’d compete with the declining Prius sales. The market is now flooded with options. Maybe the Prius AWD will pump up sales. It’s clearly fighting a battle for style, functionality and price. But resale on this in 3 years will hopefully overtake the Prius. Having a hatch/wagon, a larger fuel tank, sunroof and lumbar are my only zonks on it. As for one who wants great gas mileage, modern features of safety and apple car play with a large screen that is an A-B commuter. Good luck competitors but you’re far behind an LE version.
30hp less than the Insight
You are so very right Steven.
Toyota cream 😂
The seats suck on this car lol
I agree!
You have to have been driving a corolla around for some period of your life if you havnt you are broke because you don’t have discipline
No thanks! Feels cheap & dowdy, like sitting in the lobby of WalMart! I don't like hybrids...Not to mention repairs on hybrids are outrageously expensive. Who wants to pay $3,800 for a replacement hybrid battery like my friend did on her 6 yr old Prius? That wipes out all your gas savings! Ordered my new 2020 Highlander GLE for December. Waaay better!
Keep sticking to your gas version, replacing timing belts & brakes. Toyota now has 100,000 mile hybrid battery warranty. Check your Toyota hybrid forums from real users but I’m sure your math is right.
@@pauldenunzio3595 Toyota uses a timing chain...not the belts.
Lol.
Nice legs
121hp controlled by CVT for over 22? No thanks, the cars slower than a Crosstrek and almost as ugly. Oh, well, at least it doesn't have fake duel exhaust...which is totally bogus...and totally Toyota.
