Toyota Motor Corp. says its Corolla hybrid compact sedan has received a 52-mpg fuel efficiency rating from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
The rating (53 mpg in the city and 52 mpg on the highway) matches that of Toyota’s base Prius, with which it shares its hybrid system. Hyundai’s Ioniq hybrid sedan is the market leader at 58 mpg.
The 2020 model marks the first time Toyota has offered a hybrid Corolla in the U.S. Such models have been sold elsewhere for several years.
In the U.S., the most efficient non-hybrid Corolla gets 34 mpg. That vehicle is powered by a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine and a 10-speed automatic transmission.

Mustang Changes for 2018
On Tuesday Ford unveiled—using the social media channels of actor Dwayne Johnson (this has got to unnerve some of the auto buff book editors)—the 2018 Mustang, which has undergone some modifications: under the hood (the 3.7-liter V6 is giving way to a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four, and a 10-speed automatic is available), on the dash (a 12-inch, all-digital LCD screen is available for the dashboard), at the tires (12 wheel choices), on the chassis (MagneRide damper technology is being offered with the Mustang Performance Package), and on the exterior (three new paint colors). And while on the subject of the exterior, there are some notable changes—a lower, remodeled hood, repositioned hood vents, new upper and lower front grilles, LED front lights, revised LED taillamps, new rear bumper and fascia.
