2022 Toyota Corolla Hybrid review

The 2022 Toyota Corolla Hybrid is a compact sedan if you want a no-nonsense vehicle that’s relaxing to drive and great on gas. Thanks to its 121-horsepower four-cylinder engine that’s paired to two electric motors, the EPA-estimated combined city/highway economy is 52 mpg. Fuel economy figures are based on EPA estimates for when vehicle sold as new. Actual mileage will vary based on things like battery age, vehicle condition and history, driving and charging habits, accessory use, and driving conditions. Battery capacity may decrease with time and use. See fueleconomy.gov for more info. Few cars or SUVs come anywhere close to matching this efficiency. Just don’t expect dazzling acceleration; the Corolla Hybrid is a fuel-sipper, not a speed machine.

The interior feels robust and there’s space aplenty for adults seated in the second row. Cargo room measures in at 13.1 cubic feet, which is average compared to rivals like the Honda Civic and Hyundai Elantra. There is only one trim level, the LE, and this limits your options when it comes to adding extras. Thankfully, the number of standard driver-assist and tech items is generous and includes smartphone connectivity, a Wi-Fi hot spot, lane keeping assistance, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and automatic high-beam headlights.Wi-Fi hotspots require a data plan to activate and may also require a compatible device. See the owner's manual or manufacturer website for more information.
