If stellar fuel economy, strong brand reliability, and standard advanced safety features are high on your checklist, the Corolla Hybrid could be the choice for you. It gets an impressive 48 mpg overall.
We also tested the non-hybrid Corolla, which achieved a competitive 36 mpg overall with the 2.0-liter engine that was standard for 2023. Both versions tackle corners more skillfully than the Corolla did before, thanks to well-weighted steering and limited body lean. Plus, the sharper driving character doesn't come at the expense of ride quality; the Corolla soaks up bumps with the best in the class.
