Question 1

Which engines does the new Toyota Corolla have?

Accepted Answer

Two self-charging hybrids, both automatic: a 1.8 with 140 hp and a 2.0 with 180 hp. Each is offered in the hatchback and the Touring Sports estate.

Question 2

What are the Toyota Corolla trim levels?

Accepted Answer

The range steps up from Icon through Design and Excel to GR Sport, which adds a sportier look. Every trim comes with either hybrid engine and in either body.

Question 3

Should I choose the Corolla hatchback or Touring Sports?

Accepted Answer

The Touring Sports estate has a longer body and a much larger boot, which suits families and dog owners. The hatchback is shorter and easier to park, with the same engines and trims.

Question 4

How much road tax does a new Toyota Corolla pay?

Accepted Answer

The first-year rate is set by CO₂, which is low for a hybrid, and is normally part of the on-the-road price. From the second year it pays the £200 standard rate, plus £440 in years 2 to 6 only above a £40,000 list price.

Question 5

Should I buy a new or a used Toyota Corolla?

Accepted Answer

A new Corolla brings the full factory warranty and the latest hybrid system, but loses the most value in its first years. A used one from 2019 on has the same body and a closely related hybrid for much less.
