Move Over Prius

The Toyota brand has been one that has been able to give us a vehicle in every class and, in some cases, more than one in the class we want for our drive. Even though we accept the crowded feeling of the Toyota brand as part of what’s offered, it’s important that models don’t become stagnant. The newest small Toyota hybrid model is nearly ready to hit the streets and when it does, one of the Prius models will no longer be needed on the market at all. Instead of becoming overly concentrated with small hybrid vehicles, Toyota is making a change.

The Prius C is Leaving

The newest addition to the small hybrid cars offered by Toyota is the Corolla Hybrid. This little car will replace the Toyota Prius C in the lineup. The Toyota brand has been preparing for this event by allowing the US dealer stock to dwindle to 700 units over the past few months as the new deliveries of the Corolla Hybrid begin to head out to dealers around the country. As a hybrid model, the Corolla Hybrid is better in every way than the Prius C which has seen its days in the sun already.

How is the Corolla Hybrid Better?

The new Toyota Corolla Hybrid is a car that brings us more power and better EPA fuel mileage than the outgoing Prius C. This makes for a car that will be more enjoyable to drive and gives us a vehicle that makes a lot of sense when we’re ready to get behind the wheel and take a drive. With the sporty style and the room for five people that you’ll find in the Corolla, it’s easy to see why Toyota has chosen to move on from the Prius C in favor of this new Corolla Hybrid.

The Numbers that Matter

Why buy this amazing model? The Toyota Corolla Hybrid is rated to give you 53 city/52 hwy mpg for your drive on the roads in your area. Comparatively, the outgoing Prius C gave us 48 city/43 hwy mpg which is a significant difference on a daily basis and for long drives on the highway. The Prius C was only able to give you 99 horsepower during the drive you wanted to make, but the new Corolla Hybrid offers you 121 horsepower for the ride that will give you the quality drive that makes sense on the road.

Get Ready to Drive the new Corolla Hybrid

While we don’t see the pricing of this new Corolla just yet, the expectation is this car will be priced similarly to the outgoing Prius C. This will make the Corolla Hybrid an affordable choice for you and one that you’ll want to experience during your daily drive. Imagine being able to pass more gas stations during the week and having more power at your disposal in a sport and active car that’s offered from Toyota. Farewell Prius C, it’s been nice knowing you, but the new Corolla Hybrid has more of what we want.
