Toyota Corolla 1.8 Hybrid GR Sport 5dr CVT [Bi-tone] Review

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 equipmentThis sporty trim level gets you more aggressive styling inside and out, including sports seats, red stitching on the steering wheel, 18in black alloys and a head-up display. It doesn't add a sportier driving experience, the ride is a little worse on the bigger wheels, and it's too pricey for us to recommend.
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.
