I’ve had mine for two weeks now. I’ve owned all kinds of cars. I find this one quite nice. A lot of fun to drive. It’s not the BMW Cabriolet 5spd I had. But it’s different. Like you said, “a video game”. In this case I traded a 2016 Silverado. Of course it doesn’t have the power the Silverado had, but if you plan your moves you should be fine. The main reason I went this way was I wanted a Hybrid with the gas mileage. My family lives a thousand miles from me and I don’t want to spend a ton of money on fuel. This car is comfortable and will be perfect for what I use it for. Buying gas once a month certainly ain’t gonna hurt.
@@sunitjoshi3573 It's fine, you hold the pedal down and you'll be at 70 mph by the time you're merging. The fact that it doesn't have to shift makes it feel like you're accelerating smoothly.
I just bought this car today. I'm in canada and it came with black softex interior, heated seats, heated leather steering wheel, and it has a wirless phone charger.
I appreciate you taking the time to acknowledge mobility issues. That one factor makes or breaks a deal on a car. Watching these videos helps save so much time. Thanks!
As a Canadian, I'm surprised to learn that specs are different. However, heated steering and seats would make a lot of sense given we drive our cars on -40c days.
I've had my 2023 Corolla Hybrid now for just a few days. This newer model has a bit more horsepower, and AWD. It's rated at up to 51 mpg in the city, but so far I've been getting more like 45-47 MPG. I'm sure it will do better once it's 'broken in' and the winter is over. It has good enough acceleration for merging onto the interstate, though certainly not like a muscle car. The battery is now a LiIon type, also under the seat. It's a slightly larger battery than in the earlier versions.
In the UK we get the Hatch back and Sports Tourer models both in hybrid only , There are four different trim levels available with more of the options as standard equipment
I just picked one up nearly 2 grand under MSRP! Only had to drive it 700 miles home! It is a great commuter car for me to keep the ford parked with the price of everything going up.
Hey Nolan, great review on this good little commuter. I do wish they offered the hybrid on the SE or XSE trim, cause those trims look good. I have quite a few Prius’ and Camry hybrids in my extended family and no one has ever had any issues with them. In fact, my Grandma has a 2005 Prius with over 160,000 miles on it and has only had to do oil changes as well as 1 brake job. So I always tell people not to worry about reliability. It sucks that the US doesn’t get all the good features though. I remember being pretty ticked when I bought my Legacy and found out that Subaru offers the it with a 6-speed in Canada. 🤷🏼♂️
Thank you sir! That’s great to hear. I’ve heard the same with older Toyota hybrids. Haha man that’s a bummer. We get the shaft here in the states I guess! Have a great weekend 👍
I just bought it but am not drive yet am hoping I would love it, because my 2019 RAV4 was given me hard time I never been happy after I bought it so now I got 2021 Corolla we will see
I bought one of the first 2020 Corolla hybrids to come out in April, 2019. I have gotten as good as 66 mpg with it. Interesting fact, highway gas mileage is in the low to mid 60s in warmer weather and in the mid 50s in cooler weather. Not sure why? It's the best economy car I have ever owned, even when comparing it to my wife's 2017 Corolla.
Are you using snow tires in the cooler weather? They increase rolling resistance as they're heavier so snow tires get worse gas mileage than all-season or summer tires.
I am Also in Canada and went yesterday to buy one, may be it was day time i could not see where were those ambient lights. can you please tell me or post a pic where should i look for them? during next visit.
In the summer yes, not in the winter. I've got a 20 and bought brand new straight from the line in Japan. Was so excited to get mine. I usually average about 58.7 in summer and so on with very casual easy driving. It's beautiful, I love it. So happy you love it.
If you change the engine fan to a wide spread racing fan you will get 70 MPG if you drive under 65 MPG. Also, you can add a manual or set up automatic extra small cooling fan :)
@@michaelsmith9308 I’m confused are you under the impression it has a mechanical fan? The motor has no belts or fans on it only an electric fan on the radiator
I get around 55-57 mpg. I drive 160 miles a day. About 98% highway. 62mph is the sweet spot on Cruise control. The engine turns off and uses the hybrid mode when it’s level ground or down hill. When not using cruise control you can use the electric motor alone with the engine off, up to 70 mph BUT you have to be progressive with the gas pedal. I bought mine in July 2021, I already have 15,000 miles! No regrets. I get about 550 miles per tank. Only has a 10 gallon gas tank.
Good to know. I just bought mine and it will arrive end of August. I drive similar about 150 miles a day with about 95% highway. Unfortunately here in Michigan, I'll get run off the road driving 65 on interstate 94. I'm usually doing 80 mph on cruise. I wonder how much mpg I'll be seeing but definitely lower than 62 hopefully at least above 40 mpg. We'll see. Thanks for the numbers!
I came to collect more first -hand opinions re: the Corolla hybrid, but ended up being utterly distracted by how *ridiculously* cute this guy is. Like …dude…
I wasn't aware the 21 Corolla Hybrid had TSS 2.5 in the US 🤯 A quick check on the official US website confirms that it's still noted TSS 2.0. But I've seen Reddit threads mention some dealerships have 2.5, and I wonder if that's the one you're testing. Do you have any info on this? (edit) Apart from that, what a solid review, man. I really appreciate all the technical details.
Dang you’re right! That’s my bad in the 2.5 mixup...it still had the 2.0 (not sure if some have 2.5) but this was 2.0. Good catch in that. Thank you very much and I appreciate you watching 👍
I'm coming from a '16 Mazda 3, and I'm thinking about getting this Corolla Hybrid. I'm looking at the interior and acceleration for this car... Man for that 52 mph, I'm giving up a lot of luxury...
Hi Nolan! Canada gets a lot more Standard Content but they must pay more then USA. I still think some of those features should be available. I heard the reason they didn’t stack this model with Features is they didn’t want to kill Prius Sales.
Yeah good point on the price for sure. Makes total sense about the Prius...but it’s a bummer they make you pick between those two lol. Thanks for stopping by Gene!
My thoughts you do a really good job on your videos. I am always ready to buy if I could afford to. I hate all these touchscreens being in your face especially at night, no real theft detector. This car is simply very capable of providing good transportation and clean emissions I hope. Love the color too.
I agree completely and absolutely in all that you said in the video 👍... I had a Corolla Hatchback and and I had to changed it for this one, I didn't want to do it, but the hatchback's 2.0 engine was killing me 😬 too much gas, I was looking for a hybrid version but they don't make it yet 😩. This corolla is great saving gas, has a very good size trunk that the hatchback doesn't have, is the basic sedan that does its job, but I miss my hatchback, I miss the compact, the easy to parking, spoiler, back door, etc., I hope toyota for the 2022 makes the hybrid hatchback, expand the trunk and make a version with sunroof. That would be a dream made true. You read my mind abound each detail that you mentioned in the video, you did a great job doing the review of this car. 👌⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Is the repair/ maintenance expensive? Can you list the maintenance costs? How Do you get rid of the car at life-end....Is there a expensive battery disposal fee? ( since the battery is toxic)
With automatic climate control, can you set the heat, sleep in the car, and have the engine start when the battery gets too low, similar to how the Prius operates?
IF they had other trim levels, like the night shade front end, I will buy one. The current front end looks like a very unhappy Decepticon. Can't unsee.
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
Is this thing like a prius where I can plug a fridge into the back, fold the seats down and have barely enough room to take a nap with the ac on and the engine will kick on and charge the battery back up throughout the night? If it was that would be nice because all I need is enough room to pull off a mad nap and I just can't see myself as a prius owner for some reason. This also seems a bit more affordable. I just think if you can scoop up another $100 a day if you find yourself on the road, sleeping in your car in a somewhat reasonable way, its worth it. ,uh better to take a nap in your vehicle if you can instead of spending money somewhere to do the same. If you can throw a bed in one of these on a two day trip you could just spend the night there and then the next day you show up at your destination. Tons of money saves if you're traveling alone I think.
no leather coated steering wheel? here in europe we get it on all corolla models, also we get 2.0l motor with 180hk sunroof, how ever i dont think we (in scandinavia gets the sedan we do have the estate and hatch oh and heated seats are included over here
I think they are positioning Corolla as an economic model, a cheap version, because North Americans are used to large cars. That's why limited options. In Europe smaller cars are more practical and optics is different. I think it is all about marketing and psychology and optimizing strategies to extract the maximum amount of money from people. Options are very limited in NA. Cars in Europe are also more expensive and less people can afford them
Sticking a tablet on the dash without trying to integrate it into the cabin is what drives me crazy with modern cars. No doubt it’s the cheapest option but you’d be forgiven if you thought they simply forgot and added it at the last minute.
They do this so you get maximum screen size without having to crowd everything out of the way as you would in a normal in-dash configuration. And it does not obstruct your view of the road whatsoever.
With mixed driving, some hard accelerations, some idling (engine on and off) I think usually it was around 56-58 for the week. The highway trip I clicked the 63 mpg on is my work commute ranging from mostly 60-70 mph and going through 2 small towns on The highway. If you drive reasonably and pay attention to when the engine is in or you’re in EV mode you can really milk it...but under harder accelerations it drops pretty quick
I have one i drive to and from NYC everyday 50 miles each way and i dont try and get good mileage and I get 58.5 average. When I try and drive easy i get 68 mpg.
I am driving this car for one month and I never get better than 40. could you tell me what is problem for my driving? I am very slow accelerating and very slow breathing to get regenerative brake but still not good enough.😢
Carmen G The MSRP for this car right now all over San Gabriel Valley (Longo) is at 25G right now. I am planning to finance this car but they quoted me 28G with all the fees and interest added. Are you paying it up front or financing? I think 26,380 sounds like a good price for the basic model. There’s also a chip shortage right now so dealerships are just marking up prices just because they want to 😩
@@SM-qn7sr I paid for it, in total. I told them no extras. After I signed the guy told me that I had three years to decide if I want the 8 or 10 year (can’t remember) extended warranty for $1200.00. The car was made in Japan so there shouldn’t be any issues. In May they had a $2000.00 rebate if you did not finance, I think in June it went down to a $1000.00 rebate.
I just bought this car a week. It made a little sound when my car is at the stop sign or back up. I asked Toyota dealers, and they said that is normal sound for Toyota hybrid, is it sound right for your car?
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 .
It's a $2,703.00 difference between hybrid and gas model for the LE trim in the US. At $5/gallon and driving 135 miles a day to work 12 times a month, I would need 36.95 months to break even. After year 3 all the way up to year 10, I would have a savings of approximately $6144.00. That's a decent amount.
@@sonicmoj1 hybrid battery only can use 7 years, and parts like air conditioning pump and water pump are electric $, and gen3 have headgasket problems, they fought out engine not good for hybrid start stop,this 1.8 used on petrol only models have no problem, easy find on Google, so many problems, and the 2.0L petrol is a new design engine, twin injectors, more power and can fix the carbon emissions problems!
I own one and i disagree its an 100% japanese built car (very rare nowadays) the panel gaps are perfect and the materials are tightly fitted. If you expected luxury you should have bought a luxury car. The car is an economical version of the prius with a ton of features that make it a great inexpensive commuter. Its dead quiet no squeaks no rattles, your statement just is not true its like when someone buys a truck and complains it rides rough cuz what they really want was a car.
@@jakefeldman6859 From your comments, you work for Toyota? this is my 6th Toyota and 4th corolla, I just traded my 2017 corolla with this piece of junk and regret it,you just accused and humiliated me by explaining nonsense like if you buy truck etc. 2017 corolla is built way better than piece of junk 2021 corolla, I own more than one car at this moment and I am a car guy. I will make video showing the truth, this car is not safe as 2019 and older. This will be my last Toyota
@Noé André I’m awaiting the video you said you would make. I’m also not sure why you feel humiliated. If my disagreeing with you over this humiliated you, that’s kind of sad. I don’t work for Toyota or any car company for that matter but I do happen to have a degree in Automotive Technology, which I feel like at the very least qualifies me to recognize quality.
@Noé André I love it. I get very good mileage 58.5 mpg commuting 50 miles each way into manhattan everyday, and the lane keep assist and radar cruise work very well it practically drives itself. For the money I can't think of a better car.

How's the highway merging power? I'm debating between this and Honda Insight!
@@sunitjoshi3573 It's fine, you hold the pedal down and you'll be at 70 mph by the time you're merging. The fact that it doesn't have to shift makes it feel like you're accelerating smoothly.

I just bought this car today. I'm in canada and it came with black softex interior, heated seats, heated leather steering wheel, and it has a wirless phone charger.
USA needs to DEMAND Toyota NORTH brings us heated everything, leather wrapped steering wheel etc.......ALSO, we NEED that hatchback hybrid ASAP!
I just bought this car last Thursday. Super white color I absolutely love my car
Does your new Corolla hybrid 2021 has little sound while your car is at the stop sign or back up.?
Yes, I literally do not here my car start up. I love it. Just do not like that my windows are not tinted
congrats #toyotagang
I wish they made the Corolla hatchback in a hybrid I want the hybrid for the MPG but I love the look of the blue hatchback
In Europe, we have that
I appreciate you taking the time to acknowledge mobility issues. That one factor makes or breaks a deal on a car. Watching these videos helps save so much time. Thanks!
Glad to hear that! Thanks for watching 👍
This is the best value for 2021. I'm driving this and loving it.
63 mpg in real conditions ! God ! This car must have been a blast during the pipeline crisis and panick buy induced fuel shortages.
Got 68mpg the other night🎉
Why I never can get better than 40 mpg? I have this car for two months. Please let me know what I am doing wrong.
As a Canadian, I'm surprised to learn that specs are different. However, heated steering and seats would make a lot of sense given we drive our cars on -40c days.
For 2022, they did add the option for Softex interior with power/heated seats and a heated steering wheel on the US version.

Thanks for the Canadian shout out, often there are trim differences between models of various brands.
FIFTY two? Pssh I'm getting SIXTY two MPG. 62.2 to be exact. Far far better than either of the two Priuses I had before it.

@@PrimeAutotainment Awesome. Appreciate all the details.
No problem, thanks for watching!
I have one i drive to and from NYC everyday 50 miles each way and i dont try and get good mileage and I get 58.5 average. When I try and drive easy i get 68 mpg.
@@jakefeldman6859 Wow, very impressive MPG. Thanks
If you are on 52mpg that means you r a new driver for hybrid my old Auris UK gives me 55 to 60 mpg
I am driving this car for one month and I never get better than 40. could you tell me what is problem for my driving? I am very slow accelerating and very slow breathing to get regenerative brake but still not good enough.😢
The only problem in this car is the SMALL cup holder, everything else is better than my Audi tt.
In high speed 100
Try how it goes

The old Corolla was only 1.4 . If the 1.8 is slow there there's no sense in that
I paid 26,380.00 for a Toyota Corolla Hybrid in Los Angeles county in May 2021, basic model Out the door price. Did I pay too much?
No. Which dealership you went to??
Toyota of Orange.
I told him I wanted to pay 25,000 and he came back with $26,380, took him a day to find the color I wanted.

The MSRP for this car right now all over San Gabriel Valley (Longo) is at 25G right now. I am planning to finance this car but they quoted me 28G with all the fees and interest added.
Are you paying it up front or financing? I think 26,380 sounds like a good price for the basic model. There’s also a chip shortage right now so dealerships are just marking up prices just because they want to 😩
@@SM-qn7sr I paid for it, in total. I told them no extras. After I signed the guy told me that I had three years to decide if I want the 8 or 10 year (can’t remember) extended warranty for $1200.00. The car was made in Japan so there shouldn’t be any issues. In May they had a $2000.00 rebate if you did not finance, I think in June it went down to a $1000.00 rebate.
I just bought this car a week. It made a little sound when my car is at the stop sign or back up. I asked Toyota dealers, and they said that is normal sound for Toyota hybrid, is it sound right for your car?
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 .
It's a $2,703.00 difference between hybrid and gas model for the LE trim in the US. At $5/gallon and driving 135 miles a day to work 12 times a month, I would need 36.95 months to break even. After year 3 all the way up to year 10, I would have a savings of approximately $6144.00. That's a decent amount.
@@sonicmoj1 hybrid battery only can use 7 years, and parts like air conditioning pump and water pump are electric $, and gen3 have headgasket problems, they fought out engine not good for hybrid start stop,this 1.8 used on petrol only models have no problem, easy find on Google, so many problems, and the 2.0L petrol is a new design engine, twin injectors, more power and can fix the carbon emissions problems!

can you remove the wheel covers and drive it with the wheel exposed ?
Yes, but apparently the covers are for aerodynamics.
Yes. That's the first thing I did because the aluminum alloys underneath are far better looking.
@@curveball1318 thank you i agree with you 100%
Of course Toyota gives the Corolla hybrid the worst possible front bumper..
Why would one get this over a Prius?
Slightly cheaper, I wanted a Prius but there were none available so I had to go with the Corolla
Looks better, especially with tinted windows
Nice car for a girl
I just bought this car and I regret it, very cheep materials, really stay away from this car
I own one and i disagree its an 100% japanese built car (very rare nowadays) the panel gaps are perfect and the materials are tightly fitted. If you expected luxury you should have bought a luxury car. The car is an economical version of the prius with a ton of features that make it a great inexpensive commuter. Its dead quiet no squeaks no rattles, your statement just is not true its like when someone buys a truck and complains it rides rough cuz what they really want was a car.
@@jakefeldman6859
From your comments, you work for Toyota? this is my 6th Toyota and 4th corolla, I just traded my 2017 corolla with this piece of junk and regret it,you just accused and humiliated me by explaining nonsense like if you buy truck etc.
2017 corolla is built way better than piece of junk 2021 corolla,
I own more than one car at this moment and I am a car guy.
I will make video showing the truth, this car is not safe as 2019 and older. This will be my last Toyota
@Noé André I’m awaiting the video you said you would make. I’m also not sure why you feel humiliated. If my disagreeing with you over this humiliated you, that’s kind of sad. I don’t work for Toyota or any car company for that matter but I do happen to have a degree in Automotive Technology, which I feel like at the very least qualifies me to recognize quality.
@Noé André yes I do own one and I was going to pay cash but they gave me 0% so I financed it.
@Noé André I love it. I get very good mileage 58.5 mpg commuting 50 miles each way into manhattan everyday, and the lane keep assist and radar cruise work very well it practically drives itself. For the money I can't think of a better car.
