I had one Corolla for 17 years. Ran like new the day I sold it. Best car I ever owned, change the fluids, few sets of tires , it was cheaper to own than a monthly bus pass.
🤣17 years like old ex love
46k for mine
@@AngelValdovinos 👍😁
Its such a waste opportunity that nobody would ever put on sport tires on this brand vs a Civic. They run more quietly and grip is phenomenal. The Hankooks Ventus V12s would have been a cheaper option. I am using these on my car.
I would have to go with Mazda 3 over this. Corolla a magnificent vehicle, but Mazda has all real gears and transmission and, interior is nicer. Although more expensive it’s worth it to me.
Hybrids definitely make a lot more sense than the forced push for EVs. Everyone could afford hybrids and I think companies should make hybrids standard to lower the entry price.
@Paul that’s so false on so many levels. But ok. Toyota is a pioneer of hybrid vehicles and does it best. They also are very knowledgeable on EV’s and are slowly easing into the market while taking their time to do it as best as possible. They also are the ones, along with honda that are betting hydrogen fuel is the future. They’re light years ahead of where you think they are. They just always slow roll things and make sure it works as best as possible first. Alternatively you could go buy a panel gap machine with endless reliability issues (Tesla)
@Paul Toyota didn't "Sell Tesla" because they ARE NOT Tesla and didn't own them to begin with. I believe you meant to say was that they sold stock in Tesla. Which btw, people love to act like Tesla is so valuable because of their vehicles, but that's not even true. It's everything else Elon is involved in that makes Tesla valuable. Also, in short order you're going to see market value of Tesla lower as ALL OTHER vehicle manufacturers are going to take a major chunk out of Teslas essential monopoly on electric cars. Imagine being able to buy an EV that doesn't have 3 finger wide panel gaps and AC unit drain hoses that drain onto the batteries rendering the car completely useless. All it takes is a CAR COMPANY that knows what they're doing and not a software firm with piss poor manufacturing and Tesla will be way down in the market. Also, the future is Hydrogen Fuel with BEV's supplementing the market. Not all EVs. Unless you want rolling blackouts and the inability to charge your 200 mile town car with a $26k battery that lasts 10 years tops.
@Paul omg the amount of uninformed shit you write is monumental. Have a good day
why dont we get small displacement diesels like the rest of the world, some newer turbo diesels get like 70mpg - putting hybrids to shame if you ask me without the added hassle/complexity of battery pack replacement 150k miles down the road. We can all thank emissions I guess haha
@Paul In fairness, Toyota quadrupled their money on their Tesla investment, even though they missed an opportunity to make a lot more. Toyota's hybrid vehicles are some of the most reliable in the auto industry, so not sure why complexity would be an issue.
Never thought a Corolla could look so good. I owned 2 much older ones but I felt cheap in them. I wouldn't feel cheap in this one. 👍
This one turned out really well.
Those older models had to pave the way
Agree
@@j.m.5995 they walked so these new ones could run 🥺😭
I just bought the regular se trim ‘22 and I love it!!
I agree with you Joe about getting a hybrid I think the government and industry is pushing hard on full electric vehicles when the infrastructure is not there to support it
It is the best of both worlds
blame George Soros
I sometimes miss my corrolla! So dependable and enjoyed it. Never had issues. Had almost 300k miles on my 2015
300k miles in 7-8 years? How?
@@enriquearayatajr Some people just spend their whole lives driving. They live in a slum so they prefer to sleep and eat in their Corolla.
I have 168000 in my 15
Bro drove from NY to LA 106 times in the span of 7 years
You will be surprised, my Corolla have 119087 miles and it’s a 2018. I drive a lot but she still drives like new!😊
Wow I’m amazed at this Corolla especially the fuel economy! Great work as always you two,thank you guys for all that you do,and just like always joe and Lori,I’ll see you on the next ride. 😊😊😊
We just traded in our 2013 VW Passat Wagon, which was in almost mint condition because it was just a weekend car, But Expensive to Keep Up, for a 2016 Corolla LE Eco model that had one owner and 51,000 miles with actual stock rims and no hubcaps. Love it!
Love this little sedan! Great review Joe and great job on the camera Lori!!!! To The Door Panels!!!
The Corolla is an impressive car. It's roomy, well screwed together, and feels very pleasant to ride in. It has a really supple, plush ride. Its ride is really a standout.
What A Cool Review Of A 2023 Toyota Corolla. The Best New Sport Sedan To Buy.
I am glad that you are digging it!
Sport Sedan?🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
I definitely think there should be red on the dash and steering wheel as well but I still love this car and it’s wheels too but I’d have to have an XSE EDITON AS I HAVE TO HAVE HEATED SEATS IN ANY CAR FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE IT LONG TERM
So happy this car exists and not only that it has analoge gauges. Great video. :)
I love it Joe and Lori and keep up the good work 👏 and I love the video lot 👍 real true 💯💯💯💯
Cool channel.. thank you and Lori 🏁🏅
Great review as always, and great car too!
Man that’s really sharp looking.
You are so very right about that!
@@RaitisRides Yessir
i have a 2015 automatic corolla, the last year before the hybrids kicked in, such a pleasure to drive
Love this review so much that I had to subscribe. Did you find the interior noise to be any quieter on the 2023 versus the 2020 - 2022 Corolla Hybrid. They supposedly made it quieter for 2023. Please let me know.
Looks good, drives good, price is attractive, mpg's are insane. Cheks many boxes.
Nice review keep up the good work Joe
50mpg with dependability you can't go wrong and it looks really nice👍
Another great review! Yes, I agree that there should've been a red line on the side mirrors.
Hey joe, thanks for the review as always ! Will you review the baseline Corolla hybrid for us that are cheap 😂
Love the vids keep it up
You got it Taylor!
I think the CVT is the same as a Prius eCVT no first gear only 1 gear. Planetary style . The NA corolla with CVT has a torque converter style 1st gear then CVT after.
I had the 95 Corolla for 21 years. Held onto it like it was my best friend
🤣🤣🤣🤣 the elbow on the arm rest just killed me. Love your vids man! I ain't buying a sedan but watch them all regardless.
That was a classic moment!
So heads up for the future vids on Toyota hybrids, all Toyota hybrid sedans/compacts come equipped with an E-CVT. It used a planetary gearset instead of a normal belt driven gearset.
E-CVTs are wayy more reliable than regular CVTs as most of their power gets distributed really well mechanically. Not all the power is coming from the engine, about 35-40% is coming from the electric motor.
Anyways, loved the video!
Now this is the way to go! Toyota and Honda understood the assignment! When I buy a commuter car for work, I am not looking for full out luxury. I'm looking for affordability and longevity. It basically serves one purpose only, to go back and forth to work, be somewhat comfortable, last a long time with very little maintenance, and put a ton of miles on it. My nice performance / sports cars and truck is basically weekend only outings or towing. This is a great compromise between all gas vs all electric. Technology has gotten better with these hybrids and the price is very reasonable compared to spending over 60k for all electric EV. You could buy this car and put gas in it for the life of the vehicle before you would ever break even buying a all electric car and paying additional for electric to power it.
This is such a good perspective
Correction: All Corolla Hybrid models have an e-CVT. It's a planetary gear setup so technically not an actual CVT. Only the gas versions of the Corolla come with the Direct-Shift CVT with a first gear.
It's called an E-CVT, so it's a CVT. There's nothing to be ashamed of.
@@clearcut6818 No it's not a CVT.
@@braetonwilson4296 then why call it a CVT
@@clearcut6818 it's e-CVT, is completely different than conventional CVT. Normal CVT has belt driven but eCVT is gear driven. They have the same name but all the hardware and technology are different. eCVT last way longer than normal CVT.
@@felixyu930 not taking about durability. It's all about the sound. Still sounds like a whiny CVT.
Love it! I'm getting my 2022 Corolla Apex tomorrow! Hmmm, may be I should've waited to get an AWD!?
I'm digging the name Infrared with the Corolla the design is an improvement from the last generation and driving one is fun. Thanks for the review and Lori always making magic behind the camera!
She really is the best in the biz!
I have a 2019 corolla hatch with the leather heated seats. Absolutely love it. Yeah it's a bit noisy on the highway but it is not a camry. Bought it used with 6000 miles, $22,000 18 months ago. My 4th toyota.
Got my Corolla 22 se manual a few weeks ago and I absolutely love it
You crack me up, man 😂
Excellent review!
I have a 2020 corolla 1.8L , got 250,000kms on it just wondering how long is it gonna last . I use it for driving instructions , doing oil change every 10k kms . Castrol Edge High Milage full synthetic.
My 2013 with 194k and still running strong. New fan and alternator are the only things that have needed replacing. Interested in a Corolla SE Hybrid, but not the Infrared edition
What a complete package. Likely a great value at MSRP. Not a cvt fan but if anyone can make a reliable one it’s TM. I think wits funny how they’re kind of bring back a Powerglide slush box- what’s old is new. Even at this price they should cover up the trunk hinges. That’s always a nice touch in a sedan.
Who lit a fire in Toyota ass??? There killing it lately!! Not so boring anymore!! Love it!!
I had a Semi run me off the hwy in a Corolla years ago. He hit me with the end of his trailer during a lane change and spun me out at 70mph!. He just kept on going. I don't think he realized he had bumped me or didn't want to get in trouble for it. I busted the windshield with my head and ended up in the median. Car was totalled but I was in excellent shape considering! At 50mpg I couldn't care less how slow it is! Besides it looks nice! 💯
People are giving Toyota a ton of flak for slow-pedaling their EV products. But this is such a practical vehicle, and at 50 MPG in the city, you are close to EV costs, because EV's cost more to purchase, insure, and finance. This is a world-beating car. Very disappointed that they couldn't squeeze in a spare tire. What are these companies thinking? We have bad roads here in Oakland, with lots of nails on the street, and flat tires happen frequently.
If you want a spare tire get the gas version
That infrared would be sharp on a grey or navy color as well!
Are those seats comfortable? I am considering a hybrid SE but worried the cloth seats will be too rough.
Yes
Awesomeness in every video 👍👍👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪💪💕💕💕💕
Is it true that the two liter 169ps will be discontinued? And the manual gearbox?
Just bought a new SE. Pretty happy with it
Raiti's legendary 7:23 to the door panels
I’m surprised that there is no insulation on the hood. It would definitely help out on the engine noise.
Does it come in other colors the infrared package?
The body looks appealing for compact sedan love the color though it's a hybrid still a nice car see and Mazda3 both best competitors in class.
🚗 Thank you Joe and Lori! 🤠
You are so very welcome!
I have been a subscriber and a believer of your amazing content and I tell EVERYBODY who brings up new vehicles to look at your vids. YOU AND your Wonderful wife keep up the 💣 a$$ work!!!!
You are so awesome Arthur! We appreciate you being part of the Raiti's Rides family!
Hey Joe, just a suggestion, can we also get a conversion on Miles/gallon to L/Km
Great videos as always, enjoy watching, I had a question maybe you can help me out with, does the 2023 se upgrad have paddle shifters, gas only corolla
On on ICE powered Corollas.
On ice?
Really nice
For that price point, wow that's great! The mileage is INSANE
Digging the refresh and the extra color this special edition gets. If this was hooked to manual you may get my attention
You literally can get a manual non hybrid
@@phillipvelednitskiy6881 I know I was talking about this edition I see it’s available in a hybrid not sure if this edition offers a non hybrid version
@@phillipvelednitskiy6881 Not anymore! Gone for 2023 :(
Obviously it had your attention since you posted a comment about it.
BEST new sport sedan...thanks Raiti
Yes another Joe and Lori video!!!!
Thanks Ruben for being so supportive!
what was the 0-60 though. Also is there going to be an xse version of this
Corolla...I've had 3 of them. Slow, kinda boring but very dependable.
Thanks for the great review, Joe!
The old Corollas were slow and boring. Not these new ones.
@@braetonwilson4296 LIES YOU TELL!
@@jraheemjefcoat429 No lies, you're just a Toyota hater who blindly hates all Toyotas no matter what.
What I think is you're the best car reviewer in America, period. 😁
That looks soooo good 😍
I am so glad that you think so.
Glad they added the nice exhaust tips. The pre-production SE hybrid models didn't have those and it didn't look right. But looks great now. I wonder if the AWD will be much quicker.
Definitely helps with acceleration especially since you shouldn't step on it too much since you want those gas savings
Awd has higher HP and torque so probably
This makes a lot of sense. Not into the EV evolution just yet. It looks terrific. I like to take the weekend trips to SF and Vegas from LA.
Is the apex coming back our next year with the gr engine?
coming from a 2013 corolla s special edition, this will be my next corolla in Underground color🤩🤩🤩
Two things they need to do a hybrid version for the hatchback and get a sunroof for the hatch. The sedan is like 2 different people designed the front and back. At least the hatchback rear end better matches the front with it being full LED
I was thinking of getting a hybrid for a daily. This may do the trick. Is Honda coming out with a hybrid for the Civic here in the States?
Yes. We just don't know when it's coming. Europe already has the Honda Civic hybrid. We're waiting to hear when our spec is coming to the states.
My first car was a 1988 Toyota Corolla. I drove it for 9 years until I gave it to my sister and it served her problem free for another 8 years before it finally died.
I have a 2018 Corolla SE. It has over 80,000 miles with not one problem. Just do regular maintenance, wash it regularly, put gas and it will last forever. I’m not into 0-60 times, luxury or looks. Just need a car that will last many years that will take me from A to B without any problems,low maintenance cost, ownership and the Corolla hits all the check marks.
Fact i have 2007 Corolla ce with no issue or no nothing just take care of it. She’s reliable and dependable love it.
They really gotta make a hatchback corolla hybrid that’ll sell so well
I am debating a Rolla hybrid as my next car (currently 19 Rolla hatch) and to answer your question, I don't care if it's better than a Mazda, I care if it returns stellar MPG and never gives me any issues. I love my 2019 its been trouble free and I will happily own another especially a hybrid.
I love Rollas
Raiti's Rides reviews has me thinking, SQUIRREL! But when it comes down to it, I'm really digging the Honda Civic Hatchback. I've said before, but it's going to be my next car 😂
Wow nice looking car
Could do with a little more RED touches on the inside but overall beautifully designed inside out...TOYOTA
looks nice! btw what's thoughts on the refreshed version of the RAV4? Heard there's a 10.5 screen option
I think it is a smart move for Toyota.
Doesn’t the hybrid get the Prius’s eCVT? Not the “2 gear” CVT?
Can you please let me know did you find the interior noise to be quieter than the 2020 - 2022 while driving it. These are impossible for the general public to test drive unless you order one.
David husik since you ask the question, let me tell you the answer... the SE versions have 18 inch wheels which means harsher ride whereas the LE trim has 16 inch wheels which offers perfect balance to what you are asking.
I wonder if they can make 8 speed manual transmissions by doing what they do in trucks by having 2 or 3 gear boxes combined into one unit
Bought my first corolla brand new 6months ago, hoping the '22s last like the rest of corollas
I want to trade in my sonata for a Corolla SE hybrid when they’re available. Such a nice car and you can’t go wrong with a Corolla
Really nice review; car makes sense functionally and practically!
You are so very right about that!
If this car came in a 200hp configuration I think it would give the Si a run for its money they're such good looking cars
I think you are so very right!
I always scratch my head though when I hear about the Raav4 prime hybrid. The 0-60 on that suv is great. Why cant they put that exact setup inside their sedans so that we not only get the mpg but the power too.
Drove the corolla and they were like nah. I rather fly🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
We need a “To the door panels!” Merch shirt
They have one now. It was introduced earlier this year.
Toyota has stepped up their game big time. Love the design
When and where can someone actually get one?
Does anyone know how much horsepower the rear electric motor has?
Hi thanking you and Lori for all your great work! Are there blind spots out of rear window? Is the seating position very low? Thank you!
I got mines 2023 🤘🏾🔥
in order to beat the milage, Mazda and Honda need to release a mode with 110 hp.
Whaaaaaaat??!!!! Yall were busy down in Nashville huh!!! Infrared Edition!!! This thing is haaaawt!!! Awesome review Joe and Lori!!!

Going to trade in my Nissan Sentra 2012 for the Corolla !! Sad but it’s time to be in the Toyota family ❤ Thank You Joe 🫶🏾
When is the 2023 gonna be available?
I have a 2021 Corolla Hybrid… I drive 160 miles a day from Upstate NY to NYC everyday… I get 57mpg on average at 62mph on the highway. My 2022 Toyota Venza gets 43mpg highway. Toyota always under estimates the mpgs.
I have a 2005 BMW X5 4.8IS still running new 14 mpg I never complain.
Perfect car for college students and fixed income families. High mpg, good looks, seasoned model, and great price.
I was hoping they would use the more powerful 2.0l engine now I’ll have to stick with the regular one
