The Toyota Corolla Hatchback impresses with a Full Hybrid engine, 178 HP and an attractive starting price of 28600 £. Here are all the details at a glance.

The Corolla wears Toyota's restrained design language with a few sharp lines that give the hatchback a purposeful look rather than a showy one. At 4,370 mm long, 1,790 mm wide and 1,435 mm high it feels compact in city traffic but stable on the open road. LED lighting, a low roofline and a wide rear stance help the Corolla read as modern and grown-up instead of bland.
The interior is pragmatic and neatly finished with soft-touch surfaces where they matter and durable plastics in secondary areas, so quality feels consistent without luxury pretensions. Seats are supportive for daily use and ergonomics are straightforward, with controls placed for easy reach on commutes and errands. A clear infotainment layout with smartphone mirroring keeps things simple and usable for most buyers.
The Corolla seats five and offers a boot roughly in the 313–361 litre range depending on specification, expanding to about 1,000–1,052 litres with the rear seats folded for weekend trips or flat-packed furniture. A curb weight around 1,420–1,460 kg and payload allowance near 400–450 kg mean the car copes with passengers and luggage without feeling strained. For families of two adults and a child or commuters who occasionally need more cargo, the layout hits a sensible balance.
Both hybrid powertrains are tuned for smooth, efficient forward motion rather than sporty drama: the 1.8-litre setup produces about 140 hp with a 0–100 km/h sprint near 9.2 s, while the 2.0-litre returns roughly 178 hp and trims that to around 7.5 s, paired to a CVT and front-wheel drive. With a curb weight in the mid-1,400 kg range, the Corolla feels composed and predictable—quick enough for safe overtakes on the motorway with the 2.0 and relaxed around town with the 1.8. Steering is precise but light, and the suspension favours comfort over sharp handling, so cornering is confident rather than thrilling.
The Corolla's hybrid setup can return about 4.4 L/100 km on the combined cycle with CO2 around 100 g/km, and a 43‑litre tank translates to a theoretical mixed range close to 950–1,000 km between fill-ups. In everyday use that figure typically translates to long stretches between visits to the petrol station, especially in city driving where the hybrid system shines with electric assistance and regenerative braking. On sustained high-speed runs the fuel advantage narrows, but overall running costs remain one of the Corolla's strongest selling points.
Toyota packs the Corolla with a comprehensive active safety suite—adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist and autonomous emergency braking are part of the package—so the car feels modern and reassuring in traffic. The infotainment system supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for seamless smartphone connectivity, and basic physical controls remain for climate and audio to avoid distracting menus while driving. The result is a tech mix that prioritises safety and everyday usability over gimmicks.
The Corolla is ideal for buyers who prioritise low running costs, reliability and a sensible, well-equipped compact hatchback for commuting or small-family duties; it comes in full-hybrid form with 1.8 and 2.0 options delivering about 140 and 178 hp respectively, both as CVT front-wheel-drive models. It suits city drivers and motorway commuters who want calm, economical transport rather than sporty thrills. For those seeking a fuss-free, practical car with proven hybrid efficiency, the Corolla is a safe and sensible choice; driving enthusiasts will likely look for something sharper elsewhere.
