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) replaced the unloved Auris and is a significant improvement, offering fresh styling and a pleasant, comfortable driving experience. Available as a hatchback, saloon, or a spacious Touring Sports estate, its main draw is the 'self-charging' full hybrid system. Buyers can choose a 1.8-litre or a more powerful 2.0-litre engine, both providing excellent refinement and efficiency without the need to plug in. A 2023 facelift further enhanced the package with an improved infotainment system and more power.

While the hatchback is surprisingly cramped in the back and has a smaller boot than key rivals, the Touring Sports estate is a genuinely practical family car. Low running costs are a major strength, with both hybrid engines easily achieving over 45mpg in real-world driving. All versions come generously equipped as standard, with features like adaptive cruise control, heated seats, and a reversing camera, making the Corolla a modern, comfortable, and highly cost-effective choice in the family car class.

Best for: Buyers seeking a highly efficient and reliable hybrid without the hassle of plugging in, those who value generous standard equipment, and families who can opt for the very practical Touring Sports estate.

Not ideal for: Anyone needing maximum rear-seat and boot space in a hatchback, or drivers who prioritise a thrilling, sporty drive over comfort and low running costs.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Corolla if: You want a modern, comfortable, and very economical family car and are keen to avoid diesel or the hassle of plugging in. The practical Touring Sports is a particular highlight.

Consider alternatives if: You need the best-in-class boot space in a hatchback, or if you want a more engaging driving experience, as a Ford Focus is sharper to drive.

Competitive Position: The Toyota Corolla is a highly competitive family car that offers a desirable middle-ground of efficiency, comfort, and famed Toyota reliability. While the hatchback's practicality is a weak point against rivals, the Touring Sports estate is an excellent choice. It's a likeable and enjoyable car that makes a strong financial case against diesel and non-hybrid alternatives, and is a massive step up from the old Auris.
