2020 Toyota Corolla Hybrid | The Un-Prius

For 2020 Toyota decided to surprise us all and bring a hybrid Corolla to America. Instead of dropping one of their more powerful hybrid systems under the hood, say from a Lexus UX or RAV4, Toyota decided to go in a different direction and snag the same 1.8L hybrid system the Prius uses. The result is the Prius sedan some shoppers have always wanted. With 52 MPG, similar acceleration and similar handling performance, Toyota hybrid shoppers now have two high efficiency options to choose from. One with a trunk, and one with a lift-back. If you've been waiting for a more conventionally styled high-mileage hybrid from Toyota, this is the car for you.

As I'm getting older, I'm starting to care less and less about "options" and more focused on MPG's.

Anyone with me?

The thing that I love about Toyota is they offer hybrids (Excluding the subcompacts/Chr/Yaris) across the range. Whether you're college student, or a family of 4 like myself, there's a hybrid for everyone in almost every form. 😊

Toyota KNOWS people will buy this instead of the Prius

I f you want a basic, reliable, cheap, transportation, get the Corolla hybrid. More space? Get the Prius. Better looking? Get the Camry. More fancy? Get the Avalon.

Pretty inexpensive.. IF you just need a commuter car, this is it.

Toyota is tryna get it right again with this latest generation of Corollas!!! Corolla and fun haven't been used in the same sentence in a while now. Great review as usual Alex!!!

I drive a 2020 Corolla hybrid and I have a lifetime average of 63.7 mpg. In town I average 64.5 MPG on a tank. That's easily 20 miles per gallon better than either of the two Priuses I Which is unbelievable since they all share the same powertrain.

They are going to sell a billion of these.

If I was buying a new car right now, this would be the one. Well done, Alex.

I own a 2012 Toyota Camry Hybrid. It has been a good experience.

I test drove the Ionic, Insight, and Corolla and let me say the Corolla won by a landslide in terms of internal aesthetic and drive feel. The Ionic came last, it's the most inexpensive with very competitive pricing and new grad discounts but throttle was disappointing and the base trim missing a lot safety features. The base Insight was better, pricier but with more features, honda sense, but still a pretty weak drive and lacking throttle response when you're not on sport mode. The 2020 corolla by far exceeds the others in terms of a powerful drive, throttle response, the interior design looks like a page taken out of Tesla, comes with Toyota Sense, and comes at a premium price tag because it's so new and I think so superior.

Well I owned a Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid which got 55 City and 54 hwy for the SEL mid range version Their ECO (BLUE) model gets 57 City and 59 Hwy miles and has dual climate control standard and Apple and Android auto standard with a lifetime battery warranty and 100K hybrid powertrain warranty. I really loved that car. average driving range on a fill up was around 650 miles.

The Corolla hybrid will be a good car for those who travel long distances everyday or just want a car with good MPG. The only hybrids i would trust are Toyotas. Toyota invented the first hybrid car aka Prius in 1999. They have more experience in this market. Im young so i would personally get the XSE trim in white and tint the windows dark. Those looking for a basic and simple car will get the regular LE. Its nice that Toyota offers those options for different type of buyers.

Slam dunk !! This will be a huge selling car. Best, most reliable commuter car ever made. The only thing you could do to make it better, 52mpg.

[jackqin]

I have one 2020 corolla hybrid for 2 months. The average fuel consumption is 3.7 l /100km. Amazing!

[anthropologyeveryone]

If you are going to buy a Corolla sedan with an automatic transmission, this is the obvious and best choice.

[xwiththebandx]

I have the Prius C (2012) with about 65k miles... averaging about 49mpg in mixed driving. Not the quietest car in the world or fastest... but cant argue its efficiency and overall design. I'm 6'2 and still dont have my seat all the way back. I'd honestly choose the Prius 2 Eco over this Corolla hybrid because I prefer the hatch. But this no doubt is a great car.

[jorgemarroquin]

Toyota always listening to the customers and delivering practicality, quality and reliability. My which is to have a Toyota Corolla hybrid 2020 for weekdays, comuning and for work, and a Toyota Supra 2020 for weekends.

[dchawk]

If I was a commuter I'd have one of these for sure. A legit bargain hybrid that looks normal.
