Top-flight analysis! As an owner of a Prius plug-in and a Hybrid Corolla, I can vouch for Toyota's legendary reliability and efficiency. Last year I did a roundtrip California to Florida drive in my Hybrid Corolla and averaged an amazing 58mpg. The car was totally comfortable; I never got tired of seating in the seats. Highly recommend any hybrid from Toyota!
We looked long and hard at this segment. Of all the cars we looked at, we picked the Honda Insight as our fav. It was the most conventional car, had surprisingly good acceleration for a Hybrid, excellent handling and it was low on the "Prius/Ioniq Goofiness Scale".
Here in Texas, the Insight is not under $30,000. One dealer priced it $2000 over MSRP, added non-negotiable items like paint protection, wheel locks, tinting, and mats to the tune of at least $1400. Most dealerships will not sell the car without those item add ons. My out the door price when all was said and done was $38K. I did not buy the car. Also, Insights sell very quickly, and not many are currently in production. They are an expensive, hot ticket item. I wish I could find a 2022 Insight for $30K.
Wanted to get a Corolla Hybrid. Just couldn't settle with the thought of a hatchback being a little more convenient sometimes, but at the same time often their rear seats having less space... Had a headache trying to choose.. Untill I saw that the Corolla Cross Hybrid is only about 4k more expensive. Seemed to be a perfect size and combines the best pros of sedans and hatchbacks. So I'm definitely going for this one! (Fuel Economy is about 4.3 L/100km, which is mind-blowing)
new subscriber, watched 4 of your blogs great review, we own Corolla hybrid 2021, drove to Maryland to Florida we saved on gas and smooth and comfortable ride , we are happy for the care performance.
Loving my 2019 Toyota Camry Hybrid I recently purchased for under $30K with under 25K miles on the dash. What took me so long to take the hybrid plunge?
Love my 2011 Fusion Hybrid. 150k miles and still rides very smooth. Good pickup, good looking car and great on gas. Strong battery allows a comfy city cruise between 30-40mph on ev mode. It's an older car though so when it goes ill be in the market for a new one. I paid 8k for my Fusion 😩😩😩 Def won't be getting that deal again
Thanks for this video. As you know from the IG message I sent you I'm definitely searching haha. I'm hoping there's more compact to midsized SUV to release soon!
About the CT200h… it has the 3rd gen hybrid system instead of 4th of the current (2017 and up) system. That’s the reason I bought my Prius instead of CT in 2017
If a vehicle has the option of a hybrid vs a PHEV, which one is really more economical for long term ownership with hot summers and cold winters, plus an even mix of highway and city driving?
Thank you great information. I might need a car soon and was thinking about a Hyundai Sonata, however a new owner just bought the dealership in my area and has not had great reviews. So if I have to go out of town I'm thinking about the Honda Accord, I now drive a 2004 Cadillac DeVille that I really like but will not be buying another Cadillac and wondered which would be a close feel.
What do you think of the 2022 Elantra Hybrid? In my opinion it delivers a more luxurious feel for its price point and is a direct competitor to the Corolla Hybrid.
Thoughts on the North American Honda Insight potentially being redesigned / replaced with the Honda Civic eHEV that has been announced for the European market?
Hi all cars that you mentioned is nice & strong of long life bit there is one more car if you can put in your list which is ( Honda insight Clarity) let me know please how is this car because I am thinking to buy this.
Between $20-25,000 CAD ( Willowdale), what used ( or new) could I choose. Are any hybrids (sedans) fun to drive - i don't think lexus can be this price ? I have driven Civic 2019 touring; not the 2018 sport touring. It would seem the hybrids are best for city drives and 6,000 km per year.
For your budget and driving amount, I would just buy a new Toyota Corolla. Forget used. The prices are overinflated right now and you can buy a new car for almost the same price. You don't need a hybrid if you drive only 6,000km per year. A regular Corolla LE would work fine.
I have the 2019 touring model, it's efficient, reliable, comfortable, good trunk space, and has good tech. It is not a sports car, but will cruise along fine. It is also getting refreshed. I think I should have went for the PHEV which has a stronger motor for more EV range.
I've been looking for two months for a hybrid. Good luck getting a car. And forget getting it under $30,000 out the door. I'll just stick with my Taurus until the tires fall off. I've never seriously looked at buying a new car. I never want to do it again. It's one of the worst experiences I've ever had. The Toyota dealer called me today. "A car is being shipped from Japan today. Only one left. Need $1,000 down no refund." It'll be gone tomorrow!
You must really like Japanese cars. They are good but I don't know if that good. I allways preferred Chevrolets. They worked for me although, they had or have Japanese engines like my Saturn Vue. If you don't add or discuss American cars much one might think you are getting a kick back.

that's because Toyota got the most patterns in making hybrid cars

Just picked up a Corolla Hybrid and loving it. My first Hybrids. This video is very informative.
Great review! I'd probably buy a Corolla Hybrid for my wife if she needed a new car this year.

In certain areas you can find a 2019-2020 for under $30k
Anywhere in TX? 🤞🏻🤞🏻

I love your reviews.Your videos are always Precise and direct to the point .
Glad you appreciate it. Thanks!
Your not gonna get any of these cars for under 30,000 miles in this ripoff market.
Meant dollars.
Thanks for this video. As you know from the IG message I sent you I'm definitely searching haha. I'm hoping there's more compact to midsized SUV to release soon!
I have Prius 4th generation, very happy
The Hyundai Ioniq Blue gets 60 mpg. I wonder why it didn't make it to the list 🤔
About the CT200h… it has the 3rd gen hybrid system instead of 4th of the current (2017 and up) system. That’s the reason I bought my Prius instead of CT in 2017

Your picks are always on point!
Looking forward to the Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid. Heard they may not come out till 2023.
I like your energy but you should really try to show interiors on all the cars.
Video came on time . I was confused what to buy 🥰 thank you
hybrid is a great cost effective option for better mileage without making the move to ev.
How about Dodge Charger and Kia Stinger. Ain't they good, please reply to this?
Love my Honda Accord hybrid 👌
Great recap 😎

Fixd works with EV cars?
What do you think of the 2022 Elantra Hybrid? In my opinion it delivers a more luxurious feel for its price point and is a direct competitor to the Corolla Hybrid.
I made a video on it check it out!
Prius, Corolla or Honda Insight for a low cost, reliable car for someone not so concerned with lots of pace (so in other words SUV not needed).
Is any of these really under $30k? I doubt it based on what I have seen these days. At least on on NJ area...
Nope none of these are ''under" 30K unless you want the lowest version and the oldest version of that one.
@@-timothydexterthegreatestp5391 Agreed. The Lexus NX used is still over $30,000.
Thoughts on the North American Honda Insight potentially being redesigned / replaced with the Honda Civic eHEV that has been announced for the European market?
It will probably happen within the next 1-2 years. Honda is finally planning to expand its hybrids in North America
What about the Chevy Volt
Hi all cars that you mentioned is nice & strong of long life bit there is one more car if you can put in your list which is ( Honda insight Clarity) let me know please how is this car because I am thinking to buy this.
Was this made in the 1980's? used cars with 100k miles cost more than new right now!
the prius is so unbelievably ugly you couldn't pay me $26k to be caught in it.
Hi! Tried to place an order of the fixd and found out that it’s not free shipping. There’s a shipping charge of $14.00
Are there any cars available at dealers to buy?
things best not asked ...
How long does the battery last
and how expensive is it to replace
Not a huge concern anymore. It's regularly being done on 12-15 year old Prius and Camrys for under $2k
Between $20-25,000 CAD ( Willowdale), what used ( or new) could I choose. Are any hybrids (sedans) fun to drive - i don't think lexus can be this price ?
I have driven Civic 2019 touring; not the 2018 sport touring. It would seem the hybrids are best for city drives and 6,000 km per year.
For your budget and driving amount, I would just buy a new Toyota Corolla. Forget used. The prices are overinflated right now and you can buy a new car for almost the same price. You don't need a hybrid if you drive only 6,000km per year. A regular Corolla LE would work fine.
What if the Kms are more than 6000. Then which car to go for ?
This seems less best and more top 10 most fuel efficient. best would be balance between power, luxury, tech and MPG for the price.
What about the Kia Niro. Is this any good?
I have the 2019 touring model, it's efficient, reliable, comfortable, good trunk space, and has good tech. It is not a sports car, but will cruise along fine. It is also getting refreshed. I think I should have went for the PHEV which has a stronger motor for more EV range.
Camry 💕
Great video! We just purchased a 2022 Lexus UX250h and it should be delivered in two weeks. I was surprised you did not mention this car?
under 30k?
Amazing car but this list was hybrids under $30k
pruis hasnt changed it looks
I'd take the Lexus if I could afford it 😍
Toyota is just the best
This is BS. Nothin new is under 30K with all those additional markups. Thanks Joe.
Hyundai Elantra,&,Ionic Hybrid anyone????? 55-59 mpg
After a year of research we bought a 2022 Lexus UX250h Awd hybrid. I’m surprised you did not mention this car?
How much did you get it for?
No Ford Maverick?
Finding a Maverick Hybrid under $30k is insanely hard right now
Ok

You should start reviewing EVs or you will soon be reviewing used ICE cars only!
You must really like Japanese cars. They are good but I don't know if that good. I allways preferred Chevrolets. They worked for me although, they had or have Japanese engines like my Saturn Vue. If you don't add or discuss American cars much one might think you are getting a kick back.
Really disappointed to not see chevy's volt here. I've gotten a combined 75mpg over 100k miles.
