Toyota Corolla (2019-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Very well equipped	The 2.0-litre is much pricier than the 1.8
The Touring Sport estate is roomy	Surprisingly cramped rear seats and boot in the hatchback
Efficient and economical hybrid powertrains	The Trek model has SUV looks, but no off-road ability

Quick Summary

The Toyota Corolla (2019-present) is a well-equipped and efficient family hatchback that succeeds the Toyota Auris with a fresh, modern design and improved driving dynamics. Available as a hatchback, saloon, or Touring Sports estate, it features full hybrid powertrains with a choice of 1.8-litre (120bhp, or 138bhp post-2023 facelift) or 2.0-litre (177bhp, or 193bhp post-facelift) engines paired with a CVT automatic gearbox. The steering is light and precise, the ride is supple, and the car delivers good refinement and economy in real-world driving, with both engines returning well over 45mpg regardless of driving style.

Standard equipment includes 16-inch alloy wheels, automatic LED headlights, dual-zone climate control, heated front seats, reversing camera, adaptive cruise control, and an 8.0-inch touchscreen (10.5 inches on post-2023 models) with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The hatchback offers 361 litres of boot space, whilst the Touring Sports estate provides significantly more practicality with 596 litres and superior rear legroom. Running costs are competitive, with servicing every 12 months at fixed prices. The 2023 facelift introduced digital dials and refined hybrid powertrains, making this an efficient and enjoyable alternative to diesel or plug-in hybrid options.

Best for: Buyers seeking an efficient, well-equipped family car that avoids diesel; those prioritising comfort and refinement; families needing practicality (Touring Sports estate).

Not ideal for: Drivers wanting maximum rear passenger and boot space in the hatchback; those seeking thrilling driving dynamics; buyers on a tight budget or wanting the most economical motorway performance.
