What kills the MPG compared to other Corollas are the wheels on the XSE Hatch trim. They weigh about 27 lbs, and the OEM tires weigh 23 lbs. 50lbs combined. This creates a lot of rotational weight. By contrast, the SE Hatch trim has wheels and tires that combine to weigh about 41 lbs. The OEM wheels on the SE trim are Dunlop Enasaves which only weight 18 lbs, and which are designed for a lower rolling resistance and higher fuel efficiency. I have an SE Hatchback. I would regularly get 40 MPG on highway trips that included local driving, and I would drive closer to 80 MPG on the odometer (maybe 77--78 MPH). That said, I just bought 18" aftermarket wheels and the same size tires as the XSE trim. I haven't tested for exact results, but I notice a big drop in fuel efficiency with the larger wheels and tires, and my new wheels are lightweight wheels that weigh 6 lbs less than stock XSE wheels!
Charlie, Like many others, I lament the disappearance of the manual option from the (non GR) Corolla in this market. In terms of mpg, the biggest complaint is Toyota's refusal to bring the Corolla Hybrid hatch and wagon to this market. To add salt to those wounds, both the Hybrid hatch and wagon are available with AWD in other, less worthy places. 🤨 On the good news front, I am glad to hear Daily Motor's Seat of The Pants® live seat comfort report continues as a core feature of your channel. Finally, I hope the next Corolla returns to the historic standards of head and leg room provided by legendary Corollas of the past.
Do you have the SE or the XSE? I get similar numbers with my 2019 CVT SE. I used to commute 50 miles each way on a mostly highway trip with some local driving (5 miles in the suburbs, and 1/2 mile in town--this lasted a few months). I'd average 40 MPG pretty consistently on the trip stats that show on the dash when you first turn off the engine. I'm curious if your results mean the manual is more efficient than advertised, as officially, according to the EPA rating, the CVT is more efficient, but that doesn't seem to be the case based on your numbers.
Thanks for the video. Was comparing these with Honda Fits. Found a 2019 Fit Sport with a 6 spied manual for my daughter. @65 mph it is averaging 45.7 mpg.
This will blow your mind. I love VW’s, bought a 2023 GTI manual, 2.0 liter, 241 hp engine, and 39 mpg is what I achieve on my car under similar driving conditions, and I’m still breaking in the engine and drivetrain on my new car. In my 2017 Golf S, with a 1.8 liter, 170 hp engine, manual, I routinely achieved 45 mpg, and on some trips, up to 52 mpg. I would have expected perhaps a little better mileage on this Corolla. Nice looking car, though, but just like how VW’s drive.
I tested with various speed for MPG with 2021 Corolla SE Sedan. With 70mph over, 40MPG is hard to get. But, 70mph, it will be doable. With 65mph or lower, it will be quite easy. Optimum MPG speed seems 45-55mph. I could see 47mpg in one day. Mileage depends on terrain(Downhill/uphill) and wind direction(Tailwind/Headwind). I could see 99mpg(99 is the max on the screen, so it will be over 100mpg for sure) with 30mile downhill. The other direction, 30mile uphill only got 30mpg. Also, slow acceleration will be quite helpful. Slow down on uphill is also helpful. Cruise control should be off during uphill(to prevent high RPM), downhill(to prevent an engine brake).
I have a 10th gen Civic Hatchback LX, 6 speed, 1.5 turbo and I get 40 to 42 mpg on the highway cruzing at 70mph. The big difference is the Civic is funner zipping around town with the turbo motor and manual trans. And, I believe there is more room in the Civic than the Corolla. I've had my Civic 6 years now and love it!
Watching this from the UK I completely forgot you guys have non-hybridized versions of every Toyota out there while we only get the expensive hybrids. To be fair if highway driving is all you do and you don't do too many miles I'm pretty sure it's actually quite hard to save enough on the fuel to justify the extra hybrid cost which is why I find it aggravating that in Europe the manufacturer's average CO2 output have forced toyota to only sell hybrids when in turn people are limited to the top end options of every trim level in every car. Getting about 45 (UK) mpg is still very respectable especially considering it's an automatic CVT when most large hybrid SUVs would do about the same.
In the USA and Canada there are very long waiting lists for Toyota Hybrids. It has also become common to see used Hybrids selling for prices substantially higher than the original retail price. As a result, many consumers compromise with a non-Hybrid Toyota simply because they cannot wait for a Hybrid to become available. We also have models like the Sienna, Venza and Crown which are 100% Hybrid. I am confident Toyota would sell many, many more Hybrids if they could produce them. Finally, very few of us do all our driving on highways so the efficiency gains Hybrids provide are very impactful.
I would get one if it had at least 200hp... Hell 190hp would be great!!! but 169hp I feel like it seems slow specially to merge onto the highway here where I live. I would test drive one and see. Dont need a speedy car, just something that I can merge and not feel like Im going to get hit.
There's something I don't understand about these tests and why do you guys always go to eco mode instead of just leaving it in normal if you're trying to show real world economy I'm sure not a lot of people driving in eco?
Look at it the opposite way: if we didn't use eco mode, how many people would be in the comments telling us it would have done better with eco mode? If I'm cruising on the highway and I want good mpg, I use eco.
@@steeley6123 for a car so small and underpowered? The current camry got 41 mpg on the same test but on another channel. The current integra got 41 but has 200 hp and bigger than this corolla
@@wl6020both of those are MUCH more aerodynamic in terms of design, and have a small displacement and stressed turbo engine compared to a NA 4 cylinder. Underpowered? 169 horsepower is perfectly adequate (my 2001 Tacoma has 190). If you haven’t driven it, you can’t really speak on it at all.
@@steeley6123 the camry is not turbocharged. And your comparing your car, which is over 2 decades old in technology. Cars now are much more powerful and fuel efficient. Compare this small corolla with other cars in around these few years.

Prius mpg test comming soon? Also it blows my mind the civic hatch is one of the largest in the segment and still gets the best mpg, non hybrid.
My 2022 Corolla hatchback manual transmission gets 40 on the highway and usually averages 33 mpg mixed driving
Congratulations on securing a manual before Toyota pulled them.
@@rightlanehog3151. Yeah I flew out of state to purchase. Definitely hard to find. Thanks
@@trigganometry168 I just had the original clutch changed on my 2005 Vibe so I am ready for at least another decade of manual 'Corolla' motoring. 😉

@@DailyMotor ok just wondering
You did say "effective highway range of 510 miles," however I was confused what you meant by that when your calculation was 514.8 miles.
We round down, as we'd rather you not run out :)
@@DailyMotor Ok, that makes sense, and thanks for looking out for us. 🙂
I can get that in BMW 320i, 2 litre turbo petrol , faster and bigger, and it 255 rear run flat tyres 😂
At 72 mph its at 1900 rpm, its geared very good but still, 39 mpg is not that good.
for a gas only engine? that’s way over EPA standards especially for those 18 inch wheels on the top model.

11.5L 100KM in city garage ! My old mazda 3 do 8.0L 100KM
Its too small and underpowered to get 39 mpg in todays standards. Someone did this similar test in the 2018+ 4 cylinder camry and got 41 mpg.
I personally got 45 in the 2.5 Camry at 75 mph in a similar test.
@@DailyMotor you mean 75 mph? 45 mpg is crazy impressive
@@DailyMotor We are still waiting for a retest on Daily Motor😉
I expect Corollas with skinnier tires will easily beat 39 mpg.
@@rightlanehog3151 I keep asking, they keep not having them! New Camry round the corner, they probably couldn't care less about the current one.
