Toyota Corolla Touring Sports 2.0 Hybrid Icon 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 equipmentWe think entry-level Icon trim is all you could ever need. It includes 16in alloy wheels, automatic headlights, dual-zone air conditioning, adaptive cruise control and a 10.5in touchscreen infotainment system with built-in sat nav and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone mirroring.
The engine
See full engine specsWhile the entry-level engine has plenty of power to offer, those after more performance will want to look at the 2.0 Hybrid. With power increased to 193bhp, it has the ability to sprint from 0-62mph in just 7.7sec and even more versatility when it comes to overtaking. Despite the extra power, it should still manage around 60mpg.
