Toyota Corolla Hybrid

As the name suggests, the 2024 Toyota Corolla Hybrid is the electrified version of the best-selling vehicle of all time. It's a bit slower than its gas-only sibling, but the EPA also estimates the Corolla Hybrid gets 65% better fuel economy in city driving. In our eyes, the tremendous improvement in efficiency is worth the Hybrid's mild hit to acceleration and slightly higher price tag. Though it launched in just one modestly equipped trim level in 2020, the Corolla Hybrid lineup has grown over time to include more luxe versions. Last year brought the most significant enhancements; in addition to the appearance and tech upgrades that all 2023 Corollas enjoyed, the Hybrid also added the sporty SE and upscale XLE variants. The expansion continues this year with the Nightshade edition. The Corolla Hybrid Nightshade is primarily an appearance package that adds bronze wheels and black-painted exterior elements — including a blacked-out mesh front grille, mirror caps and lip spoiler — to the SE model. The Corolla Hybrid Nightshade is offered in both front- and all-wheel drive powertrains.
