Known weak points
- Full hybrid and e-CVT are very durable, but watch the 12-volt battery with frequent short trips and long standing
- Infotainment before the 2023 facelift is slow, wireless CarPlay and Android Auto only after it
- The e-CVT lets the engine flare up loudly under hard acceleration (rubber-band effect), which is normal
- The pure 1.2 Turbo petrol is less frugal and harder to resell than the hybrid versions
Verdict: which to buy?
The 1.8 Hybrid (122 or 140) is the most sensible choice, the 2.0 Hybrid adds more spirit. After the 2023 facelift with better infotainment the Corolla is at its most sorted, the Touring Sports gives the biggest boot.
For commuters, families and high-mileage drivers after a worry-free, frugal used car with low running costs.
