Fun fact: Toyota Corolla sales in Japan are not as good as it's was in the previous generation , because the body size is now "too big" for many consumers .
I'm so happy that Japanese people still produce sedans. As much I see and understand the utilitarian value of SUVs and crossovers I still believe we need beautiful cars too.
I love this color! Toyota did its work with the Corolla, I'd definitely go for one just like this. Thank you Lori for your camera work and Joe bringing us more goodness from the NY Auto Show!
They disappoint with the worst driving experience. HP and torque figures are such a massive downgrade. If there's one thing that Tesla has proven, it's that you can add a lot more acceleration for no added cost on range/mpg. Why does the RAV4 Prime produce that kind of power and this car has to suck?
My Corolla SE isn't a hybrid, but so far I'm averaging 35mpg. Is it fast? LOL Is it fun to drive? In sport mode it's fun to get in the twisties and it holds the road pretty well. Dependable and efficient in a good looking package. Thanks again for doing the hard work to bring us the BEST quality reviews.
I know it’s a weird observation, but whoever corrected the paint on that car did an incredible job. Most show cars I’ve seen have little swirl marks, micro-marring, and/or some haze, presumably from some frantic compounding before the show. This is really exceptional though.
I just bought the 2023 corolla hybrid xle almost 3 weeks ago and im doing 62mpg way over the manufacturer 53 city 47 highway 50mpg combined, its insane i love toyota!! All i need now is to get the se rims on it to make it look cooler
Great video as always Joe! However one thing in this Corolla, it uses an eCVT, not a CVT which is pretty different since the the new CVTs are the ones with that initial first gear. Pretty much any new hybrid will be using eCVTs, which are built to be even more efficient than the CVTs that pure gas cars use.
I think I can count on Toyota to maintain legendary Corolla reliability. I've owned two - 92 and 2005. A lot to love about this car, and it's taken me through some serious life changes, moves across the country, etc. Was always amazed how much I could pack it. It has always been a bit underpowered, and you get used to it, but the ONLY thing I've never gotten used to is the road noise. I looked into aftermarket solutions, but didn't wanna rip the floor up. If Toyota can give this a lexus-style sound isolation treatment, maybe as an add-on package, I might buy my third Corolla. It's a very nimble little car, perfect for a daily driver.
@Steven Russell you guys with your Ontario pricing, you guys are getting gouged left, right and centre. The regular corollas are not even there for sale even the lower trim ones due to many reasons.
@Steven Russell here in maritimes to get a new corolla takes almost a year for gas version as we speak. The hybrid models take even longer. The used ones are way too expensive already
Too many shiny back plastic trim pieces inside and out. It's going to scratch and dull very easily. The base Corolla Hybrid or Corolla Cross hybrid is where the maximum value happens. Good review Joe!
so finky. do non shiny other than black, colors have some miracle resistance to life on the roads or something we dont know about? who wants plastic trim anyway. that turns sun bleach dullsville and is higher maintenance.
Car makers just can't seem to get the memo that nobody like that. It looks great when its brand new, but a year or two don't the line and it going to look just awful. What's worse, they reduced it from the inside, and brought it to the outside. It just isn't a durable type of material.
I do agree with you on that awd badge. I’ve been seeing that allot lately with car companies. The placement on some of these badges are absolutely ridiculous. That is a pretty car tho
Toyota has been the best car I've owned. I have had the Toyota Yaris for 15 years now and approaching 300,000km (186,000 miles) mark. Just regular maintenance and you're good to go.
Cool little car, excellent daily driver. Why do people care if it's a prop rod or not, let me tell you I have a newer car with Non prop rods, when those shocks start to fail it's a pain in the neck
@@Rocket9944 that’s on me if I am not careful on making sure the rod is not seated correctly. I have had numerous cars with pop rods and so far no incidents.
A year too late! Got our daughter an SE last year bc the hybrid only came in one trim back then. Thanks for the great review Joe. Keep up the great work Lori.
I was at the New York auto show last Friday. I saw some good stuff but several brands were missing which I would’ve liked to see. Some manufacturers were missing a lot of their cars too which was also a little disappointing.
Great Review. What color is that? It looks awesome. I plan on buying one in the next couple of weeks. I live in California and I need something more economical, but still stylish. The Corolla is the way to go!
My first car (hand me down from my parents) was a poop brown 1979 Toyota Corolla, in 1988. Had orange pinstriping. It was a looker. 😂 This new Corolla though looks proper legit!! I like it a lot. Probably get it for my daughter this summer.
Cool. But for me AWD means snow, and snow means you need higher ground clearance. I love my RAV4 but don't use the parking brake in winter if you wash it often.
I literally had to pause the video because I love your sarcasm 😂 the awd badge placement instantly annoyed me and had me thinking the same thing 🤦🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
Wish the infotainment system was similar like what you get on the Tundra, Sequoia, or the new Highlander. The smaller screen is just out-dated. Overall, I’m excited for this new AWD Corolla as another alternative similar to the Impreza
The head unit in the Corolla is the same one as the one in the Highlander L, LE & XLE models & it has the same operating system as all three of the models you mentioned. As far as the size goes, I think it looks pretty good given the size class of the car. A lot of people prefer a modestly sized screen. To each their own though!
I’m hoping to get a Corolla Hybrid one day as a daily driver….not sure if I would go for the AWD model but if you live somewhere where it snows a lot then yea I would try to get the AWD model.
Great color way. Wouldn’t mind seeing it on a rav4 hybrid xse instead of magnetic gray. MPG seems really great & those are the only hood things I could say about this car.
Great review!!! The price for this car is perfect. I'd trade in brand new 2022 Malibu LT for it if I could!!! We love you Lori and great work as usual!!!!!!
Bad ass video bro! I LOVE the color of this car. For all my Aircraft Mechanic homies….this color, is the color of Hot Pro-Seal! 😂😂 I legit want this exact model!
Thank you for your reviews this one in particular because I owe a 2010 Corolla S and I’m looking to upgrade maybe to 2025 and beyond. Thank you for reviewing even the low end economical models vehicles
This Toyota Corolla 2023 colour is awesome I like the wheels, especially the V shape however red stitching front looks great seats are very nestled i like this car's reviews Joe you are an evergreen person to the car reviews
Very nice. Is the changeout on that battery a DIY job or would you need to hire a mechanic? I heard between 5-12 years they need to be changed which is a big gap and defeats the cost savings in a hybrid maybe?
$25G's for a Corolla AWD and Hybrid...now that's a sensible car. Looks like the Impreza has a showdown a comin' at high noon? Thanks Joe and Lori for another great info clip from the Big Apple.
Toyota needs this AWD to be up there again because the new Honda civic is way better. I love Toyota/Lexus but the Corolla was left in the dust by the civic. I drove both of them and the civic won overall. Everything about the corolla felt like it would fall apart in your hands and cheap quality materials also. For a few thousands more the civic is the better bargain for sure. I hope joe doesn’t mind me commenting on there. I love your professionalism bro and it means I watch all your all your videos 😂
I have a 2020 SE Corolla with a 169 hp, Im getting about 33 mph. Not a bad commuter. Just a few things I need t zonk this vehicle for not have auto android. It only has Apple car play. Not a fan of Apple phones. Though this car handles very sporty and fun to drive. Go with the XSE model instead.
That sign behind you was perfectly lined up when you said "Let's Talk"
Now we are talking!
I had two corolla, they were the best cars to save money. They are just practical and reliable and fuel efficient. This color is sharp
Thanks for sharing your great thoughts from your ownership
My dad had 2 corollas, a 2006 corolla LE (he sold) and a 2021 corolla LE with convenience package (which he still owns to this day)
Fun fact: Toyota Corolla sales in Japan are not as good as it's was in the previous generation , because the body size is now "too big" for many consumers .
That’s very fascinating!
Great problem for Japan lol horrible for the U.S 😂
Lol. It's too small in the US. Jk to me it's good. I prefer cars. None of that SUV and pickup truck stuff.
After driving mine for over a year I can see what the Japanese are on about, and I'm a big big yank.
The Corolla is too small in the U.S. They need to do what Honda did with the Civic and make it roomier upfront.
Another great video by Joe. One of the few RUclipsrs to review the affordable, reliable, good looking, compact Japanese sedan, and it's an AWD.
That means so much! I love bringing them all to you
I'm so happy that Japanese people still produce sedans. As much I see and understand the utilitarian value of SUVs and crossovers I still believe we need beautiful cars too.

@ahnonymuz9921 Underground
Toyota never disappoints, always improving.
You are so very right
it's so boring. But, that's not toyota's fault. That's what the tree huggers want.

@@steve8803 It’s a Corolla, it’s not meant to be exciting lol😂
@@GOD999MODE it’s a Toyota Camry is not comparable to a Tesla, but this still a beautiful car and more affordable.
I must give this guy thumbs up. I watched your review at 2x speed because I love your energy. IMO you're one of the all time greatest car reviewers
This car looks absolutely flawless esp in this color combo with the gun metal rims just sick
Great update from The best-selling car in history
Thanks Joe 👍
Nice, affordable hybrid. AWD is a bonus, good job Toyota and thanks Joe for doing a variety of vehicles.
My Corolla SE isn't a hybrid, but so far I'm averaging 35mpg. Is it fast? LOL Is it fun to drive? In sport mode it's fun to get in the twisties and it holds the road pretty well. Dependable and efficient in a good looking package.
Thanks again for doing the hard work to bring us the BEST quality reviews.
A fun to drive CVT? I don't think so.
I know it’s a weird observation, but whoever corrected the paint on that car did an incredible job. Most show cars I’ve seen have little swirl marks, micro-marring, and/or some haze, presumably from some frantic compounding before the show. This is really exceptional though.

Lovely Color on the car. Great Job Joe and Lori.
best looking corolla ever.

Pretty much any new hybrid will be using eCVTs, which are built to be even more efficient than the CVTs that pure gas cars use.
Joe does say eCVT at 5:51 if you listen again
I was thinking the same thing. All their hybrids use ECVT not the regular CVT with the 1st launch gear and the belt for the rest of the gears.
Wait wow… that exact car is around $25k? Insane, what a value.
Almost $28K with AWD. Still not bad if you can find one at MSRP.
Stripped down. There are no premium packages in this demo model. Premium packages could be available, which would send the price closer to 29k.
30k in cali
@@SolidSL510 yep. I think AWD Corolla are hard to find in Cali. Most Corollas here are FWD and Hybrids.
@@jml9550 I just bought one today. For 28k
Been waiting since November last year

🤩Wow!! Excellent low price on this Corolla SE Hybrid!! Excellent mpg!! Fabulous content Joe and Lori !! #RaitisRides 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
It's beautiful. I love it. But i would like to ask why it couldn't be both automatic and manual transmission????
Hey! Joe Raiti, I agree that the AWD badge should be on the back of the car and not at the bottom of the rear of the car. Very nicely detailed video.
These are hard to find where I live, the AWD ones anyways. Interesting to see the changes made to this model year. Nice car!
they're about 42,000$ canadian in toronto right now, used
@Steven Russell you guys with your Ontario pricing, you guys are getting gouged left, right and centre. The regular corollas are not even there for sale even the lower trim ones due to many reasons.
@@alvinsimba734 what reasons lol, there are lots of corollas for sale here of every trim. just the hybrids are expensive
@Steven Russell here in maritimes to get a new corolla takes almost a year for gas version as we speak. The hybrid models take even longer. The used ones are way too expensive already
Joe and Lori and keep up the good work and I love the video 👍 💯💯💯
Great car for daily driving with that fuel consumption and it looks pretty good.
You are so very right Omar
AWD Carolla is crazy! Leather seats and a manual would be a dream! 😅
Who builds inefficient manual transmissions anymore? And who would buy one on a Corolla?
Too many shiny back plastic trim pieces inside and out. It's going to scratch and dull very easily. The base Corolla Hybrid or Corolla Cross hybrid is where the maximum value happens. Good review Joe!
I can understand how you feel Daniel!
so finky. do non shiny other than black, colors have some miracle resistance to life on the roads or something we dont know about? who wants plastic trim anyway. that turns sun bleach dullsville and is higher maintenance.

I actually saw that in the NY Auto Show. It looked really nice
I love that gray.
Trust me Tyler so do I!
Joe, I really like your reviews, but love Lori’s camerawork (No offense to Steve 😂) Give her a raise!
I do agree with you on that awd badge. I’ve been seeing that allot lately with car companies. The placement on some of these badges are absolutely ridiculous. That is a pretty car tho
Awd in a Corolla like this is pretty dang cool
You are so very right Jay
With RISING gas prices I could careless about the 0-60……. Very impressed by Toyota! ❤️
the accerleration is fine for what this car is. i enjoy my corolla very much.
A nice car - if you can get your hands on one. I ordered mine a year ago and there is no timeline on when it'll arrive.
Toyota has been the best car I've owned. I have had the Toyota Yaris for 15 years now and approaching 300,000km (186,000 miles) mark. Just regular maintenance and you're good to go.
The absolute last thing this car needs is another badge on the back. The AWD badge is perfect where it is. Love the car! Great color!
Cool little car, excellent daily driver.
Why do people care if it's a prop rod or not, let me tell you I have a newer car with Non prop rods, when those shocks start to fail it's a pain in the neck
i don't get the pop rod thing either,,,have we gotten that lazy?
My Lexus ES350 has shocks, don’t care if pop rod or not. Probably opened the hood like 2 times a year.
@@jml9550 , You will care when the shocks fail and the hood hits you in the head or falls on your hands like mine almost did.
@@Rocket9944 that’s on me if I am not careful on making sure the rod is not seated correctly. I have had numerous cars with pop rods and so far no incidents.
@@jml9550 , I said shocks failing. Non prop rod.
Probably gonna trade in my insight for this for my daily
A year too late! Got our daughter an SE last year bc the hybrid only came in one trim back then. Thanks for the great review Joe. Keep up the great work Lori.
Mate that ceramic white colour ain't gonna stay white for long 😜 I like the aggressive look of the front grill.
Great design and great little car!
I totally agree with you
This is the only sedan I must afford it Joe.
I’m so glad that you are digging this one Jeremiah!
I was at the New York auto show last Friday. I saw some good stuff but several brands were missing which I would’ve liked to see. Some manufacturers were missing a lot of their cars too which was also a little disappointing.
Consistency, Job done bro!
I personally would request 16inch wheels because I don’t like low profile tires because of ride comfortably.
Get the LE trim for 16 inch wheels
“Maybe they should’ve put the AWD badge on the wheel 🤷🏻♂️” 😂😂
Great Review. What color is that? It looks awesome. I plan on buying one in the next couple of weeks. I live in California and I need something more economical, but still stylish. The Corolla is the way to go!
It’s a nice looking car I can’t lie about that at all.
The direct shift CVT is only for the gas models. The Hybrids use an eCVT.
I’m from NY and follow you, I better see you out there when I go 😂! Thanks for the great and entertaining reviews! 💪
My first car (hand me down from my parents) was a poop brown 1979 Toyota Corolla, in 1988. Had orange pinstriping. It was a looker. 😂

I had that same Corolla!!!!!
@@charlesclark2543 Haha, NICE! 🤎🚗
Wow toyota, thank you it's about time. Thanks Joe...I always anticipate your reviews.
Imagine if it had about 300hp for the same price 🔥
Cool. But for me AWD means snow, and snow means you need higher ground clearance. I love my RAV4 but don't use the parking brake in winter if you wash it often.
Why not?
Looks really good with great mpg 👍
Plus don’t forget the AWD
I just ordered Corolla sedan SX hybrid. Now i feel i made good decision. Thanks for sharing the worthy information 👍👍
I love Toyotas mind set right now. Doesnt care what Governments are trying to push and pushing back and doing what they believe
I literally had to pause the video because I love your sarcasm 😂 the awd badge placement instantly annoyed me and had me thinking the same thing 🤦🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
I love the daytime led lighting
Love the color! I hope they have it for their RAV4 or Gr86 lineups
One thing about Toyota, is that they will continue to improve their models
Definitely a looker!
Totally agree Eric!
Finally an AWD Corolla.
Nice review keep up the good work Joe

1 million subs soon!

That color is amazing 😮
Really nice and the Color😍
Great color way. Wouldn’t mind seeing it on a rav4 hybrid xse instead of magnetic gray. MPG seems really great & those are the only hood things I could say about this car.
They should have back pockets. I have a 2012 Camry V6 se with back pockets.
The best car reviews on RUclips ❤
Great review!!! The price for this car is perfect. I'd trade in brand new 2022 Malibu LT for it if I could!!! We love you Lori and great work as usual!!!!!!
The Corolla Hybrid is an excellent vehicle for commuting.
I wonder why Toyota puts fog lamps on the Corolla and not the Crown/Camry? Great review!
Another great review. However, it was hard to see the profile because of the glossy reflection due to the lights
What's that colour exactly called.? And what's the colour of the interior too cause I think it's a perfect matching
Bad ass video bro! I LOVE the color of this car. For all my Aircraft Mechanic homies….this color, is the color of Hot Pro-Seal! 😂😂 I legit want this exact model!

Hey I was wondering which package this is? I wana get this exact package from dealership. So far this package seems the most appealing to me :)
This is a great price point for this Toyota Corolla SE Hybrid.
Very nice. Is the changeout on that battery a DIY job or would you need to hire a mechanic? I heard between 5-12 years they need to be changed which is a big gap and defeats the cost savings in a hybrid maybe?
Toyotas next move is to bring awd to all the trims. Good start for the hybrid trim
So very true Matt
If you can get away with using front wheel drive, you gain five miles per gallon.
Thanks you too I appreciate it is amazing
$25G's for a Corolla AWD and Hybrid...now that's a sensible car. Looks like the Impreza has a showdown a comin' at high noon?
Thanks Joe and Lori for another great info clip from the Big Apple.
Awesome video
$25,000 msrp for that is a damn steal.
The last one I saw for sale at a dealership listed at 39900. Good luck getting one for 25k. My 23 se hybrid fwd infrared edition was 32k
Really had me hyped with the awd and electric motors and the put a na engine in it.. come on man why no turbo
The Corolla looks great but the only thing i would zonk is the white in the interior.
Toyota needs this AWD to be up there again because the new Honda civic is way better.
I love Toyota/Lexus but the Corolla was left in the dust by the civic. I drove both of them and the civic won overall. Everything about the corolla felt like it would fall apart in your hands and cheap quality materials also. For a few thousands more the civic is the better bargain for sure.
