2024 Toyota Corolla Hybrid Sedan Consumer Reviews
Pricing
EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT!!
After having a 2022 Corolla, I just purchased a 2024 Corolla LE Hybrid. Bought with Convenience Package which includes Alum. Wheels, blind spot Monitor and heated side view mirrors, Push Button Start and Smart Key. All these features help make this car VERY nice car. This car is EXACTLY what you are buying it for----Toyota build quality and reliability, fantastic gas mileage on regular gas, smooth composed ride, terrific safety features, 2 years of maintenance free and excellent sound and media. Is this a new Corvette-NO, is this a New Tahoe with the capacity it has-No.....it is Exactly what you want at a fair price that wont break the bank. I have had 2 weeks now and am getting legitimate 52 MPG. Awesome! If you want a sports car---then buy a sports car--if you want a Large, big capacity SUV--then buy one. If you want a great, affordable fantastic gas mileage car--then buy a Corolla hybrid.

Happiness is reliability
I purchased a 2023 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid Limited in mid May 23. By mid June it had been in the shop for battery issues three times when they decided to keep it. Couldn't fix it so Hyundai agreed to buy it back. It took four months but I received the entire purchase price. While the Elantra had more "stuff" (ventilated seats, 10.25" screens, better acceleration plus a few other items) the 2024 Corolla Hybrid XLE is just worry free. I enjoy a smoother ride, the optional JBL 800 watt stereo and most importantly peace of mind. I don't understand how reviewers don't take into account the proven reliability of Toyota when grading vehicles. Sure, others may have lots of tech features but if the car doesn't operate what good is it. Also, it may have a great warranty but if the manufacturer takes four months to honor it ..... I suggest reading owners forums prior to purchasing a new vehicle - wish I had listened to their advice. I have a boring Corolla appliance and am very pleased.

Overhyped Car
I had the opportunity to experience driving this car for two weeks while renting it. I was impressed by the amount of space in the interior and the gas mileage, but otherwise disappointed by the safety features and the rate of acceleration at times. The car tries to drive itself, but that's extremely dangerous. I know this is not uncommon for newer vehicles today, but I really didn't appreciate when it would try to slow down for me whenever it "calculated" that I was going to collide with a vehicle ahead of me or hit an object. Even if I was already slowing down, it would still put on the brakes and, as a result, myself and my passengers would be pushed forward as if I had put my brakes on too hard. So basically translating into a less smooth ride almost every single time. I also did not enjoy the lane monitoring. On one occasion there were people walking on a road that had no sidewalk, and I tried to veer to the left to avoid hitting them once I saw them because it was dark and there were not many street lights. The vehicle actually attempted to put me back into the lane. That could have caused me to hit one of the pedestrians and possibly kill someone. Not sure how this translates into a safety, but vehicles definitely do not need to drive themselves because they are not aware of what's going on ALL around them. I couldn't turn the features off (if that's even possible) because of course, it was a rental. I just know that I will not be purchasing this vehicle for myself!

Taste of luxury
Have had my xle for about a year now. It is a solid and problem free car. It gets about 50 mpg and is a quiet place to be although 75 mph begins to get a bit noisier. I have added a spare and jack, a homelink mirror, and a catalytic converter shield for my peace of mind. This is a spunky car that gets off the line quickly and by no means do I feel this needs more power. The seats aren't the most comfortable, but that could be due to my spine that is 70 years old as the ride is smooth and quiet. I much enjoy Toyota's safety sense 3.0 as it has saved my hide a couple times from an accident. It brakes for you if it senses an oncoming collision. I would recommend springing for the blind spot monitor (standard on my '24 XLE), as it has also saved me from idiots who like to lurk in my blind spots. Downsides are no spare tire and dash controls are on the smallish side. Toyota rules all hybrids imo and this car shows it.

Happy with this.
Just got this a couple of days ago. So... this is first impressions. 1. I like this car. Fit and finish is good. 2. It starts up quiet... The engine may not instantly turn on. If you are not coming from a hybrid, this might be a bit unnerving... because, except for the dash, you might not know it has "started." 3. It has PLENTY of pep. It can literally jump off the line, because it really has two engines working at the same time... the gas one and the electric motor. Our other car is a Highlander with a V6, and I think this one gets off the line faster. 4. Mileage: I have 170 miles on the car so far. The car says MPG so far is 57-58 MPG. The gas gauge is just a fraction down from full. I like this. Normally, in my other cars, I would have stopped for a fuel stop by now. 5. Most of my driving is paved back roads... I do not like X ways... to many other drivers to anticipate what they will do. Speeds between 45 - 60. The car is quiet. It is difficult to tell when it switches from gas to electric and back. It is responsive... more so than the Highlander. These cars at this time Mar 24, are difficult to find, and they are in demand. There is a reason for that, I think. Best wishes. Update 3/11/25: No issues, great product.
