Here's the REFRESHED 2023 Toyota Corolla SE Hybrid Infared! For 2023, Toyota is upping the ante for the world's most popular vehicle by adding a new infotainment screen, slightly revised exterior styling, new trim levels for the Hybrid, as well as available AWD! So with all these updates and still a very affordable price tag (around $25,000) is this the compact sedan to buy?? Or should you get Honda Civic or Hyundai Elantra instead??

The other important thing about a physical first gear with a CVT is that it reduces strain on the CVT significantly, increasing lifespan of the CVT.

My only gripe with the Corolla Hybrid: sluggish acceleration. That's why Toyota totally redesigned the hybrid system on the 2023 Prius so acceleration is much less of an issue.

@stayphun6188 Год назад

It's not sluggish when a car need one second longer at 0-60 than a lot of other cars. It's great on a daily basis, I recommend you to drive some good old underpowered cars, to appreciate the acceleration of the Corolla, it's really not that bad.

I drive in the snow and the awd system works like no other car. Great handling and pickup but top end power isn't great. Safety sense 3.0 is really advanced and a huge upgrade from the last version and better than all the competition.

@mattkroening7964 Год назад

Your title, affordable Prius, is an oxymoron. base Prius price with freight is 29k, Fuel savings on the Prius monroney sticker is $750 MORE savings than Corolla: OVER FIVE YEARS! But IF you can get a Prius at MSRP you still have to amortize that $4k more you paid for the Prius than the Corolla hybrid by only the $150/year savings from the Corolla fuel efficiency. That works out to 26+ YEARS to break even by buying the Prius vice the Corolla HB, ha ha. BTW was in the dealers today getting my Tundra (free) serviced, they had a new Prius...$39k, NOT 29K, and the dealer had added an additional dealer markup sticker Nitrogen filled tires $299, LIFETIME security etching $499. And that pregnant-roller-skate-with-NO-trunk Prius had a SOLD tag in the window! Pretty darned expensive payment to get economy.
