The model
Read full reviewAll things considered, the 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 is decidedly below par, but as long as that flaw isn’t a dealbreaker for you, it's a fantastic buy.
The trim
See full equipmentTake everything you get on entry-level Icon trim, add parking sensors (front and rear), a self-parking system and sat-nav, and part-digital instruments and, hey presto, you have Icon Tech trim. It’s our pick of the range.
The engine
See full engine specsIn many ways, this is the best version of the Corolla, because its 177bhp 2.0-litre hybrid is much punchier and responds far more eagerly when you squeeze its accelerator pedal. However, it's a pity you end up with a much smaller boot than the 1.8-litre hybrid.
