2020 Toyota Corolla Summary

It’s a Toyota Corolla and it’s a hybrid - could there be a more urban-ready car? Well, this is the Corolla SX Hybrid sedan.

Yes, the sedan, not the hatch. And that means it’s longer end-to-end than the hatch. Not only that, it’s missing something at either end which I reckon is vital for urban duties. But, as you’ll find out when you read the review, there’s a solution for that.

Are these the only downsides of the Corolla SX Hybrid sedan? I found out when it came to live with me at my home just 10km from the CBD.

After reading this you might decide that this small but spacious, fuel efficient but fun car to drive is ready for your urban adventures.

2019 Toyota Corolla Summary

The new Corolla has been around a for while now. It landed in the frying pan of the small-hatch segment, with plenty of hissing and spitting from strong rivals. It's hard to pick a bad car from any established carmaker in this class, so the competition is very keen indeed.

With the recent release of the Mazda3, we thought it was worth checking in with the Corolla to see how it stacks up against its renewed rival.
