FAMILY FIGHT! -- 2024 Toyota Prius vs. 2024 Toyota Corolla Hybrid: Comparison

Just out of curiosity, how do you give the Prius a .5 point for having 19” wheels vs the 16” wheels on the Corolla? The 19” will have a worse ride, the tires will be more expensive to replace, and the Prius with 19” wheels actually has worse fuel economy than the Prius with smaller wheels.

Agreed,one of the main reasons for buying a Toyota is the low cost of ownership. Replacing 19” tires is expensive, I’d rather have 17” wheels.

Thanks for another great video. In a year from now if the inventory situation improves, please do a Prius le fwd vs Corolla le fwd. If I buy one, it would be with as little options as possible.

The comparison should be between Prius and Camry

I'm surprised you didn't mention visibility. Unless I missed it. The new Prius has atrocious visibility. Sitting in one for 10 minutes I felt completely blind compared to the Corolla. You can't see out the back window, the side windows are all squinted and probably 4-5" shorter than the Corolla windows, and the steering wheel blocks the gauge cluster (why?!). This factor alone made my decision easy, when I had been torn between the two.

The dealer markup for Prius is just insane. Haven't seen a Prius below 40k in my region, and many are way over 50k. For Corolla, I only saw one dealer with 1k "paint protection" bs, and the rest all have none.

Great video, love the side by side comparisons.

The Cross Hybrid is another choice; less mpg but more utility. In a few months there will be Civic Hybrid which is another excellent choice.

Really enjoyed your review. I feel like you hit the nail on a head with given 1 point per 1grand for corolla. Agree with some other people that prius started to position itself pricewise closer to camry than corolla. Was offered recently to buy brand new camry xse hybrid for about 36.5k out of the door. And if I would be faced with decision camry or prius I would opt for camry unless parking in a narrow areas is a constant headache. I feel that both cars attract people due to being hybrids and people mostly care about bottom line than about "sexy" factor. For around 6k you are buying probably 3 years worth of fuel. At the end of the day both cars will likely hold a decent resale value given toyota and hybrid names attached to them. I would likely myself buy a Corolla,but will give a credit to nice exterior and interior or new prius. If the price difference would be around 2k, I would opt for prius given hatchback design and its practicality.

Corolla hybrid the better overall value. Wish they brought over the Corolla hatchback hybrid.

I like the Toyota Corolla but I also do like the news and sexy Toyota Prius and for this one I would probably go for the Toyota Corollas even OD Toyota Prius does have a nice designed I would still have to pick the Corolla cuz there's no options and stuff

if only corolla hybrid is hatchback!!

Add $1200 for snow tires for the Pruis. The Corolla will get by with all season or all weather tires year round. Also old bodies want to know about comfortable seats.

Nice job guys! Good to see you younger guys dissecting cars and making comparisons. Looks like a case of getting what you pay for to some degree. Not sure how big your hill was for the 0-60 pull in the Corolla, but it seemed to labor. With today's faster traffic (and EV's too), too much sluggishness is a liability in some situations. If you don't want to spend that much on a car, the Corolla will also be inexpensive to own and maintain, hold it's value, and likely be trouble free. Been reading some whispers that the Prime (plug in hybrids) from even Toyota are having some reliability issues. Unfortunate. Keep up with your work and if you ever get a chance to network with guys like Zygrene, The Topher, Engineering Explained, Savage Geese and Everyday Driver, jump on it. Great to have a car community for people who view cars as more than appliances (although this test leans that way, but even appliance like cars have a role).

Thank you it really great comparison

I was curious about both of these cars. I ordered a Prius LE AWD. I am not interested in top trim line in a car, ever! Would be nice to see a review of a trim line more common with what people actually want.

I will take the corolla hybrid . Nice video. ❤

I’d go for the Prius, however is the windshield on the Prius NOT distorted due to its extreme rake angle?

Have you considered comparing the 2023 Prius prime limited with the 2023 bmw 330e? It’s probably two different classes of cars but it would be interesting.

I have the Priud and Ive grown so yired of people saying the HUD doesnt work. I love it. Nothing is blocking it. Its easily readsble. The wheel size is even adjusted to ensure this. Do people not know that both the whel and seat are adjustable? Sheesh.
