It’s similar to the Honda Insight (55/49/52) and Hyundai Ioniq (55/54/55).

The Corolla Hybrid is EPA-rated 53/52/52 mpg city/highway/combined, a little lower than the base Prius’ rating of 58/53/56 mpg. Mileage estimates aren’t quite as impressive as with the Prius, but they’re good. There’s quite a contrast at lower speeds, where it’s weightier and more natural. In corners, the sedan feels well-controlled, though its steering can be too light, requiring a lot of correction - especially at high speeds. The ride is compliant and bump absorption is fine. In many other ways, however, it feels (and looks) like a regular car. Of course, this isn’t just a Corolla Hybrid problem - many hybrids have this issue. The brakes themselves have nonlinear, grabby action. There’s too much travel in the accelerator before the power engages, and the brake has an unnatural, heavy feel that betrays its regenerative braking system. Other elements take some getting used to, including pedal feel.

(Technically, the Corolla’s hybrid drivetrain doesn’t use a belt and pulleys, which is usually what’s at play with a CVT Toyota’s Hybrid Synergy Drive has continuously variable gear ratios and lacks the familiar shifting feel many CVTs now incorporate.) In the Corolla Hybrid, much of the usual CVT drone and numb responsiveness are inoffensive, making the car pretty quiet - much quieter than the Insight. I’m not enthusiastic about continuously variable automatic transmissions, but the Corolla Hybrid’s doesn’t offend as much as others. Power comes on quickly from a stop and builds smoothly for sufficient midrange response. That’s no surprise given it’s borrowed from the granddaddy of hybrids, the Toyota Prius.
