Toyota Corolla Touring Sports 1.8 Hybrid Design 5dr CVT Review
Category: Estate car
Section: Version review
The Toyota Corolla Touring Sports is a unique and rather convincing proposition, offering exceptionally low running costs, great resale values and plenty of standard equipment. Its boot is slightly smaller than those found in conventional rivals and the rear seats aren’t quite as versatile, but it’s not far off. We recommend the 1.8-litre engine with Icon trim.
The trim
See full equipmentUpgrading to Design trim won’t cost you much more but adds larger 17in alloy wheels, keyless entry, privacy glass and automatic windscreen wipers.
The engine
See full engine specsWith 138bhp at its disposal, the entry-level 1.8 Hybrid has more than enough power to quickly get up to motorway speeds or when you need a burst of speed to overtake. Better still, the petrol engine and electric motor working together means that it can officially manage over 60mpg.
