The model
Read full Toyota Corolla reviewThe Toyota Corolla is a brilliant family car. It's comfortable, well made, well equipped and remarkably frugal in real-world driving. True, rear passenger space isn’t great, but as long as that flaw isn’t a dealbreaker for you, it's a fantastic buy. We recommend the 1.8-litre hybrid engine with Icon trim.
The trim
See full equipmentEntry-level Icon trim gets you dusk-sensing LED headlights, power-folding door mirrors, traffic-sign recognition, adaptive cruise control, a 10.5in touchscreen with sat-nav, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, keyless start, a rear-view camera along with front and rear parking sensors, dual-zone climate control and 16in alloy wheels.
The engine
See full engine specsWith 138bhp at its disposal, the 1.8 has a 0-62mph time of 9.2sec, and has enough performance for everyday driving without needing to mash the accelerator into the carpet. It’s the best version based on price, performance and efficiency.
