Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

The Niro isn't our favorite car to drive, but it's perfect for drivers who care as much about fuel efficiency as they do about their budget.

Pros
Efficiently rated up to 52 mpg,
affordable,
practicality of a crossover.

Cons
Some trims lack basic amenities,
uninspiring performance,
plug-in hybrid has limited EV range.

Toyota has some excellent laurels on which to rest: a history of outstanding reliability and affordability are nothing to sneeze at, as are many of its past and current vehicles of high status. But that doesn't change the fact that it feels like Toyota is resting on its laurels with the 2019 Corolla.Corolla sedan carries over unchanged from last year

Pros
Comes with a long list of standard convenience and safety features
Plenty of room inside, especially in the back
Sport seats remain comfortable after hours of continuous driving

Cons
Acceleration is slow, even for this class
Most interior materials feel cheap
Fuel economy isn't great
Rivals achieve the same with more power
A snooze to drive

The 2019 Toyota Corolla is a fun choice as a hatchback, but we’d skip the sedan in favor of its competitors.

Well-equipped hatchback
Good safety gear
The hatchback, period

Shop the competition
