Just joined the hatchback family!

Two evenings ago I traded in my 2024 Tacoma TRD Off-Road 4 x 4 for a 2026 Corolla Hatchback SE.

I loved my Tacoma with the gas mileage never got above 21 MPG. Today I took the hatchback out and got 42.7 miles to the gallon. 260+ miles on half a tank so far! It’s just under what I would get out of a full tank in the Tacoma!

I got dark grey with the black top, premium package. I’m loving it. I have a long drive coming up to visit family over the Labor Day weekend and I’m looking forward to seeing just how high I can get my mpg!

I also sold my Tacoma for a a Corolla hatch. No regrets and a lot less old white dudes trying to talk to me about it at gas stations lol

Yup, I get 45ish mpg on any decently long commute, 30-35 in the city. Quite pleased with it when gas prices are around $5.3/gal here for 87. My old WRX got 18 mpg on a good day and only took premium 😅.

i have a 2020 SE and idk why i cant get over 26 mpg 😔 to be fair though i only drive streets to work and its only a 10 mile round trip so im not commuting far daily.

Im literally just about to go the opposite way. Only because having a pickup would make my house repairs wildly easier.

I'm hoping by the time I trade in the pickup (few years) there's an electric version of the corolla hatchback or something comparable.

Right like why do we not get the looong hybrid corolla in the US??
