2024 Toyota Corolla review // Strong sales because of value!

This is a Motormouth couple car review of the 2024 Toyota Corolla compact sedan. Although the 2024 Toyota Corolla is a spacious sedan it’s not quite as big as the Honda Civic, they offer about the same front row legroom but the 2024 Toyota Corolla falls short in second row legroom by over 2.5”. We are driving the 2024 Toyota Corolla XSE model with a 2L 4-cylinder matched to a CVT, 169 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque, this is a FWD sedan. The cabin is comfortable and practical with Toyota grade materials. The 2024 Toyota Corolla comes standard with cloth seats, available sport fabric seats and SofTex trimmed seats you see on our test model with red accents. Standard features include, a 4.2” multi-information display, 8” touchscreen, wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto, manual front seats and Toyota Safety Sense 3.0.
In Canada, we recommend moving up one from the base model to get key features like heated front seats, blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert. You can add an upgrade package to this trim to get extras like 16” wheels, a moonroof, wireless charger and a heated steering wheel. A power driver’s seat, heated rear seats and the 9-speaker JBL sound system are standard on the top trim.
In the US, heated front seats are standard and you can add a package to this trim for the moonroof and a wireless charger. A heated steering wheel and heated rear seats are not available in the US. The JBL sound system is available in a package which can be added to the two top trims.
In Canada, the base 2024 Toyota Corolla model starts at $26,372 CAD, LE $27,372 CAD, LE Upgrade $29,562 CAD, SE $28,932 CAD, SE Upgrade $31,682 CAD and XSE $34,032 CAD.
In the US, the 2024 Toyota Corolla LE $22,050 USD, SE $24,490 USD, Nightshade $25,490 USD and XSE $27,150 USD.
2024 Toyota Corolla fuel economy, especially on the highway is excellent, 7.4L/100 km, 31 MPG city
and 5.7L/100 km, 40 MPG highway.

I just realized this is the first time in a long time we’re not reviewing yet another suv… bring back the sedans!

[johnmartin]

Thanks for reviewing the Corolla, an economy car. I'd love to see more reviews of more affordable cars for people like me - a back to basics driver.

For the first time the vehicle so perfect it didn’t even leave you “Two things you’d like to see improved”

[jeffer]

Tough to beat. Solid value, excellent fuel economy, as reliable as an anvil and decent resale value when you sell it. It's a strong option in the segment. It's no wonder the domestic brands dumped their cars, they simply couldn't compete any longer.

Our daughter got the 2023 Corolla LE Hybrid which I broke in for about 3-4 weeks. Mileage was great from 50-90 mpg. I told the kiddo to take good care of it and drive it for a long, long time. Thanks for the great review guys!

Love Toyota still driving my 2012 Corolla 183k miles. Someday will buy another Corolla

[FrankySilverFace]

At 169hp this is the most powerful gas only Corolla ever built. It's sleek and frugal. No wonder Zack is jealous! 😂

I recently was picked up in this new Toyota Corolla. Upon entering the minicab (taxi/Uber) at 2 am in the morning (I absolutely hate these 3hr pre-flight check ins)… inaccurately assumed that it was a Camry… at first. It certainly did not feel small/tight and the fit & finish impressed me. Though the cabbie fare did not. Corollas are never going to be on my shopping list, but I would highly recommend them. Toyota definitely continues to manufacture ‘respectfully’ reliable and economic compact motorcars. This one is an absolute hit. Thanks for the video.

Toyato is always # 1 in reliability for the past 30-40 yrs. Luv them.

[fan_cool_]

Love this car, going on the 2 generation in my family. My wife got one back in 2002 and sold it in 2012 for like $5k. Now my daughter got a 2022 hybrid. Can't beat the price for those who just want a reliable car from A to B.

Great review as always. I have the main competitor, a Civic EX-L hatchback. If I wanted a sedan I would strongly consider this. But comparing hatch to hatch, it’s the Civic easily. The same fuel economy, better exterior and interior, and way bigger cargo room and rear seat room than the Corolla hatch. I agree with Zach regarding snow and the perceived need for AWD. We just received a total of 2 feet of snow in 3 different storms in one week here in Iowa. I have a good set of snow tires and had no issues getting around. I’ve driven for 49 years, mostly in Iowa, and have never had AWD. I’ve had both front wheel drive and rear wheel drive vehicles. I’ve never been stuck and never been in the ditch. Tires and some common sense go a long way in winter driving.

My wife and I rented a Corolla to travel from Vancouver to Canmore this past summer. I wanted a larger Toyota but it was not available at Enterprise. So they substituted that with a Volkswagen Passat. When I started this car the dash showed a service engine now indicator. I checked the oil on the dipstick and there was no oil on the dipstick. That goes through. Show you something about producing a rental car, doesn't it,
I was worried the Corolla was not going to be big enough or very comfortable. It tended to be very comfortable and for two people it was fantastic. Even the back seat felt roomy enough for me to sit in it. The car got fantastic fuel economy traveling across British Columbia and Alberta. And I really enjoyed driving a smaller car. So easy to maneuver and park.

Andrea nails it every time now. Another great review, Thanks

[purplejwhayes]

Love it guys. Our 2021 Corolla Hybrid is fantastic. You two are great.

[alexsummaria]

I have a 2020 xse with about 40, 000k miles. Never have had an issue. Great gas mileage and overall has everything you could need/want. I do not regret getting the hybrid I get about 35 mpg average.

[bradbates]

As interested as I've always been in cars, the simplicity of this appeals so much to my practical side.

[JuanLopez-ozkh]

I love your channel, its for the average people, not exotic unattainable cars. Thank you Love the team

[nlken]

My daughter bought the more value LE model because it's the Best bang for the buck. Civic was her other option but 3-4K more.

[HappyBuffalo-kyni]

Love how you guys give info for both Canada and the US. I wish we got the heated wheel too. The civic is the same way. I think we have fewer options since the Corolla is considered a “cheap low end car” when that’s not necessarily true. People just want an SUV sadly.

[pagodad]

Had one of these newer gen corollas and it was super comfortable to drive on road trips. Once you are cruising it sails down the freeway getting great fuel economy and a smoother ride than others.
