“Sampling the Latest Automotive Delicacies!” 
Авто/Мото
I bought a 2021Corolla hybrid w/ blind spot monitor. I've had it for about 3 weeks and LOVE the car. It has decent acceleration for a hybrid, is pretty comfortable, and best of all, I'm averaging 63.7 mpg!!!! I'm a mobile dog trainer and do a lot of driving. Well worth the money.
I averaging 67 mpg! on my 2021 Corolla hybrid. using for Uber as supplement for my job.
Just got mine but not even 52 mpg how do you get 67
My 52mpg show in car computer. Real world mpg 49mpg ! 90% freeway 70mph
I just got 74 mpg yesterday!!!!
Getting regular 70+ mpg 21 hybrid lovely car
For about $3000 over a Corolla LE, you get the hybrid system plus the the electronic center gauge cluster, smart key entry with push button start and alloy wheels instead of steel wheels under the hubcaps. You also get lower maintenance costs since it barely uses the brake pads and has no belts (no fan belts or other engine belts, no CVT belts etc.).
You obviously save a lot on fuel, have a much longer driving distance between fuel stops and get significantly quicker low speed acceleration from a stop.
The more you drive on stop and go surface streets, the more benefits you will get get in brake pad savings, better fuel economy and acceleration vs the gas version LE.
Plus you should get some of that extra $3000 back at resale time especially if selling with some of the 10 year 150K mile hybrid warranty remaining. No warranty coverage of any kind left on gas Corolla past 5 years, 60K mikes unless you paid extra for an extended warranty.
Well said!!!
@Ululu Kululu Corolla Hybrid sedan vs Corolla LE sedan gas model.
I just got this guy, my first car that is fully my own, and could not be happier with it. Most of my driving is in stop and go traffic. I forgot the last time I filled up. :P
In Canada, we get a premium package with softtex leather seats, leather steering wheel, heated front and back seats, heated steering wheel, and i think other features for $2k CAD extra 🙌🏻🙌🏻
When will this happen in the US?
@@eman2517 2022.
Does it come with lumbar adjustment?
Wow! A sponsor!!! Man, you guys climbing up the RUclips automotive chain! See you at 500k in 2021
got the 2021 hybrid and absolutely love it. currently getting 55.5mpg. came from an 06 Acura Tl. I miss the heft and wider wheelbase. the corolla is a little squirrelly steering compared to the Tl. could just be differences in the power steering systems. all in all though zero regrets going hybrid.
had to fill up the Acura twice a week with premium fuel, down to once a month with regular. what a ridiculous savings
I have the Camry hybrid from 2021 and noticed that if I inflate the tires to 38 psi instead of 35, the highway steering is better
You missed the 3 driving modes, Standard, ECO, & Power. I'm getting 60mpg if I drive using the eco computer. In EV mode, you can top out at 150mpg! EV acceleration also reacts differently depending on which mode your in. The AC also has 2 modes. This car runs so cool that I found myself in 90° weather with just the fan on. I'm super pleased with this car. If you can't get laid in this car, it's because you have a "small" personality!
Thank you for going over the exterior lights. So many reviewers miss this!
11:55 Just so people know, the U.S. model 2021 Corolla Hybrid does NOT include a spare tire. It has a fix-a-flat sealant/compressor kit. Someone creative figured out there's enough space to fit a full size spare tire after you remove all of that foam under the carpet... Oddity is that the Canadian model does come with a spare tire.
I drove this car today for a road test driver license and it was beautiful. I love it
Thanks for the review you guys are awesome!!!
I bought a 2021 Corolla. Love it! They’re nice vehicles for the price.
Not sure why hybrid reserved for only a base model - but it really is a great value for someone seeking super eco & reliable transportation like a long distance commuter to & from work everyday. I’m always impressed by the variety of reviews you guys do; there are so many consumer markets in car world, & you cover so many of them! Great work & a good review even for the “sensible shoe” of cars! (Love the continuing run with the coupons!!)
The warranty for the battery is 100,000 miles -which seems like a lot- but on a regular Toyota that's just getting it broken in. I bet its expensive to replace.
Richard Johnston for the 2020 models it’s the battery warranty is actually 150,000 miles now
@@rickjohansson4257 Apparently Toyota claims it has never replaced the oem Battery at all and they just manage to keep chugging along.
Great review of the Corolla hybrid. Loved how you both kept laughing at the acceleration lol :-) Seems it is quieter than came across on camera. It's popular in the UK and is available in saloon (sedan), hatch and estate (station wagon!). Have a good day guys :-)
It's safe to say you guys get a lot more body style choice than we do here in the U.S 😂 Have an awesome weekend!
I guess it's a bit weird they only offer it in LE trim. OTOH, some people want a hybrid and can't afford top trims so this might be good for some.
Nice video guys! :D
This is my first brand new car- and coming from a 2005 Ford Escape, man this thing is godly. Maybe not as many features as more expensive trims but definitely updated features for 2021- especially the cruise control that helps keep you in the lane and distances from other cars. It feels like 70% Tesla at times.
I drive a lot and have stop&go traffic at least once a week. With my escape? Filling up twice a week easily and won’t make unnecessary trips downtown (San Diego), but in this Corolla? I OFFER to pick up my friends food orders just to drive it and keep going everywhere. I’m down a quarter of a tank (haven’t filled it since I got it) @ 200 miles- mostly highway. I’m already saving money and that’s really what I wanted
How many miles now!
Love the coupon test for the storage---I get really excited every time for some reason LOL
😁😁
I'm not sure I could buy a car without space for my Burger King paper coupons. They have been a driver's door necessity in my Infiniti for 20+ years
In Europe the Corolla Hybrid is available as a sedan like this, a hatchback like a VW Golf, and a wagon. Where I live the wagon is also available as a 2-liter hybrid that has 180 hp, and that gets to 100 kph in about 8 seconds. The car is hugely popular, especially the wagon version, so the waiting time for a new sedan with typical options is about 14 weeks in my area.
"you could be saving on gas and on food in this Corolla hybird..." Awesome! Kinda bummed that you guys did not swing by BK. I like the all weather floor mats and trunk mat as well. Have a great day.
Thanks! 😂
Hi Guys back again watching your video
YAY, Y’all got a sponsor!
Howdy, great review as always y’all! Quick request, will you please do a Hyundai Ioniq review?😸😻😸
Excellent review!! 👍
Another great review
I bought this car specifically for rideshare. It is my rolling lemonade stand. The mileage is real and seems like a bigger car than it is. I tend to drive my cars to 250K. With with this car after 100,000 miles, I will know I made about $100,000 minus gas, ins and payment which total less than .18 per mile.
I’m so happy that you guys are reviewing hybrids only one left that you guys haven’t reviewed the HYUNDAI IONQI.. hope spot see that soon
Hey! I agree but it’s IONIQ. Sure it was just a typo tho
@@cameronschindler25 i would like to see them review that soon also.
They are discontinuing IONIQ, and re-launching as EV only brand. the IONIQ you see now will be the last model.
I love the 2021 Corolla hybrid LE, it’s very nice and great price!! I love the smart Wallet too
Got mine last month...so happy with the price
@@avtlo1719 I know, it’s a great price
Yes, Still a good hybrid sedan for me to drive.
Awesome job with your videos anyway friend!
I've had mine for two months now. I bought it for the insane gas mileage. Not disappointed. Getting 55mpg around town. I find it comfortable. I would have liked a moon roof and heated seats. But hey. 55mpg! Oh, guys, ditch the coupons. All those coupons are available on an app!😂
New sub here! 😬 Awesome channel!!
Thanks, Drew! We appreciate it!
The legroom is really really comfortable maybe for you coz you are 5’5”. But thats the lowest in the class and very tight for average size people.
great quality reliable vehicle that has great features..cant beat that
Great video my friend.
Thanks 😊
For the price, mileage per gallon, resale and looks, toyota is unbeatable.
There should be a corolla hatchback hybrid.....
because hatchbacks are so, so much more useful.......
like a carrying larger box; a bicycle; etc.
There was not actually a spare tire under there.
That was a fix a flat kit.
Notification squad, where y’all at!
Well that was quick
i bought the corolla hybrid 2021, i wanted blue or blackbut they were not available i got white pearl, with soft leather like seats, its a fast car if you use it on the city about more than 120kmx per hour the engine sounds a little forced but i think there should be no problem, i love the MPG but here is kilometers per hour i drove 390kms and just spend half the gas tank...love it
Exceptional cars- you can't beat Toyota when it comes to the Hybrid game. I have a Lexus RX 450H- almost 10 years old and still perfect! Great review!
wow thats insane!...even a complicated hybrid system is reliable , toyota for you
Hassan SMW Toyota’s hybrids arent complicated. They are actually very simple. The gearbox they use isn’t a real cvt like a Corolla or civic. It’s basically a pair of electric motors inside and there are no gear sets or reverse gear.
@@naveenthemachine complicated in the sense that it is so more than a standard vehicle..its also not as simple as you made it sound
Hassan SMW hybrids do have technology that not every mechanic can fix.
But as I said earlier, the way Toyota and Lexus design their hybrids are the reason why Toyota and Lexus hybrid are by far the most reliable drivetrains In any modern car. Yes I do agree that it sounds complicated, but in reality it’s not. Because it has very few moving parts less is likely to go wrong
@@naveenthemachine agree..toyota is on another level in their engineering and their production system is unmatched. They manage to produce more than anyone and still manage to keep the quality
Im thinking of getting one !
Just got mine last week. It's a basic reliable car. Simple.
Thanks for video. Please add metric dimensions 🙏
I drive for a living and the gas savings from my prior vehicle (Scion Xb) reduces the adjusted monthly payment cost significantly. The distance between fueling is incredibly favorable. The keyless entry and push button start is very convenient in general but has an enhanced special convenience considering I drive for a living and am entering and exiting the vehicle approximately 40 times per week. Unfortunately the audio connection to the cell phone is a failure and using my vehicle for a living makes that failure significantly annoying. The steering assist and the speed/breaking control is nice. The blue tooth connection is so problematic that I dislike the car. The mileage is remarkable. Major News Flash: I drove about 8900 miles in the 4 months of ownership and I average 61 mpg.
First! There’s really no question which car is the best in its class because it’s obviously this one! Amazing car 👍🏼
No that's poopy🤦
How is this better than the Honda Insight?
J High This car beats the Honda Insight in almost every way. Price, MPG, Styling, Interior styling, reliability, the infotainment system, and much more! I would take this Corolla over the Insight all day.
@@mccarkid
Agree to disagree.
Really wish they offered the hatchback in a hybrid as well. With a lease payment of $179/mo I will have to check this out in October when my current lease is up. I'm not excited about most the cars out there right now, so this may be a decent car to drive for a few years and save a bunch of money every month.
I need your opinion, please. I have never had a hybrid and I don't have access to outside power for EV only. I am primarily interested in the electric motor torque. Between the Corolla, Insight, Sonata, Accord and Camry, which one provides the greatest torque at start? I know Honda uses EV to power the car and the gas engine charges the battery. Is that felt in the take off more than the Corolla? Does the Sonata provide the more comfortable ride and still deliver off the line power? How would you actually compare these cars? If you already have a video, please direct me.
Your so close to 200k
Hopefully we get there soon!!
I got the new 2022 Toyota Corolla I was very lucky because it was the only one they had the car is amazing
Maybe a Honda insight vs Corolla hybrid?
Definitely a much better choice than a Prius!
11:58 - Correction, there actually isn't a standard spare tire, but a "fix-a-flat" kit.
Toyota Corolla Hybrid SX hatch model has 16 inch alloy wheels and I am buying one. It’s the mid level model in Australia!
no 2021 corolla hybrid with blind spot monitor is available in chicago area.I was at the dealer today and they found only one in whole region.
Great car just disappointed in it not having a higher trim for the hybrid
IKR I want hybrid xle
Get a 2021 Hyundai Sonata hybrid blue
Charlie Brewer yeah would love SE hybrid at least not le
@@Warrior11117 NO!
Seems loud and a bit under-powered.
Can you guys show the window sticker in the future
The pricing at the end, is exactly what the sticker says. We usually can't get a good photo of the sticker due to reflections and stuff
I can't imagine there are old school bulbs for the tail lights! what in the heck?
Imagine if Toyota dropped the Highlander hybrid AWD powertrain in a hatch version of this. It would smoke a GTI and keep up with a WRX
That sun shade mirror is so tiny... Oh man, that's a lot to sacrifice for added gas mileage.
That radio does not sound bad for a base system. How was it driving with the urethane wheel without leather? My only concern with urethane would be that it would be rough to the touch and therefore unpleasant to steer with. One other notable change which I liked was that in 2020 you could not get Satellite radio in the Corolla Hybrid. That was added for 2021. One thing I had heard though not confirmed but makes sense when you think about it. Apparently Toyota did not want cannibalize sales from it's Prius by offering a more upmarket Corolla also in Hybrid. Would be nice to be able to option in the JBL system or native NAV but as you said full smartphone integration is available and the base radio sounds much better than I was expecting.
Urethane wheel is not an issue since you can buy custom fit leather Wheel Skins and have an upholstery shop sew it on for you if you’re not handy.
Hoping to get this car someday, so much better looking than the tail ulgy prius.
I consistently get over 60MPG…
time for a side by side comparison of the corolla hybrid and insight hybrid. just a thought....
Yeah, I wish they would have said how they like the car compared to the Insight.
Yay! I like the hatchback better tho!!
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.
uber?
Is there actually a spare tire? Other reviewers claim it’s just a flat repair kit
I’m sorry, where was the LED tail lamps?
2020 Toyota Yaris Sedan XLE?
One question: at 11.59 mins you mention a spare tire. Toyota web site does not show a spare include with the hybrid model. Many hybrid cars instead offer a flat fix kit instead. Which is correct?
There is not a spare tire. Sorry for the mistake
What specs was mason reading for the rear legroom?? Did he not realize those numbers were completely bizarre.
@Richard Favreau Oh that makes sense why did the 2019 have 6 more inches of rear legroom though?
Nice
It's puzzling why Toyota cant offer the Hybrid as an XSE. I can see more of a demand for the premium version of this model.
Tully3674 it would probably cannibalize Prius sales
Tully3674 they should at least do SE with optional sunroof and heated seats option
People would expect it to be faster because of the styling, but it would actually be slower and have worse gas mileage because of the 18” wheels.
I want the 2021 Corolla Hybrid. 🙂
Does it has android Auto ?
Had a 3rd gen Prius, now a 4th gen...a much better car, in fact, the most enjoyable car/m/c I have owned for several years. The hatch is the reason I would NOT consider a Corolla. Thanks.
It being 2021 any base model car is fine . AC ,smooth ride and back up Camera. What more do you really need ?
Yes 2024 toyota hybrid very popular
For Uber this is perfect,
Put in power mode...! I just traded my 2016 Prius for the 2021 Hybrid Carola.... I’m missing my Prius but it’s growing on me...
How's the car performance so far compate to the Prius. Im also looking into getting a Corolla.
@@fidelm3371 honestly I really miss my Prius... what I miss about it is the space it was a little more spacious, it was basic so there was nothing really to compare I definitely have more features now the ride is smooth, I feel slightly higher, idk but I feel like my gas mileage on the Carolla is slightly better, Apple car play is awesome, and the power mode is powerful... lol I like it I just miss my Prius style I guess...
@@fidelm3371 The hybrid Corolla has the same powertrain as the 4th gen Prius, so the performance should be roughly equal.
How much is this car
How quickly is this engine going to burn oil by cranking up to a high rmp from cold because the electric means I can't warm it up in the morning.
Can you warm up the engine or is it just electric motor and then the engine cranks up cold? 😅 If kinda like to be able to warm the engine up a bit before I have to mash the gas you know?
Generally, in cold weather the engine fires up at initial start up because it needs to warm up the cabin
I just test drive it today, driving it kinda OK but has the worst uncomfortable seats made from very light and cheap materials! Not recommended!
Just be advised, it DOESN'T come with a spare tire, only a tire repair kit!
Does the 2021 Toyota Corolla hybrid has floor mat for Front and passenger? Dealer told me that I have to pay
They always add floor mats on the sticker for a couple hundred bucks
I will definitely buy that wallet
It should have 16 inch wheels though, 15 inches are too small for a car that size. Will there be a Sports edition of the Corolla hybrid?
15in tires are cheap to buy new
Not sure why the Prius is so expensive when you can get a Corolla hybrid for 10, - 15,000 dollars less
I wish they would’ve put the 2.0 L instead of the 1.8L.
The sedan looks decent, but I definitely find the hatchback looks more stylish. Wish they had more rear legroom though.
I wish we had a coupe or hybrid hatch
I was thinking of a Kia Forte but this looks better for the buck
I'm hoping that Toyota will make a Corolla Hybrid SE or XSE trim to.make it look better just like what they have on a Camry Hybrid. The wheels on this Corolla are a big turn off for me but overall it looks great.
Does this hybrid has simulated gear shifting ?
No, but the CVT isn't bad. You'll get used to it in a couple of hours.
they just quoted me for one celestite color out the door 26k . is this a good deal ? california here
Hi where in California are you getting 26k OTD?? Every dealership I went to is quoting 28k
Im 6 ft 5 in tall will this car be a good fit for me? I need a car with enough leg room for someone like me
Yes, I'm am 6' 5" myself, the seat lowered all the way down, and slid back, with the steering wheel all the way out and some bit down, the head gap from the headliner is about an inch from my head, I fit comfortable, so I would say you could too, I hope this helps
Does the car make a noise when you put it into reverse? I thought i heard something
It’s because the engine turned on when he shifted out of park or it’s a sound so people hear it, and when he shifted back to park the park brake engaged
It would of the engine wasn't running
Albert Vathapally mine is dead quiet in reverse
There is no spare tire just so you know!
what color is that?
Blueprint
Spare tire?
Not on the Hybrid
The regular Gas power LE is $3000 cheaper. That'll buy over 1000 gallons of gas.
It'll be over 40,000 miles before the hybrid saves You any money on
fuel. Plus the hybrid is slower.
I like your George Michael 80’s look , too kool 👍🏽
Do they make this Hybrid Corolla in a Hatchback? Good review.
I am thinking that would effectively be a Prius, so they may not bother (they are about the crane size, etc.). Also since the Corolla brand does not have a hatchback model, at least in the NA region...
SomeLaveenGuy : Oh, corrected indeed, I have not seen that before; they used to have the Matrix instead.
A SUV Corolla is coming to America. ruclips.net/video/4w63-_oj3vs/видео.html
They do it in EU.
