Every 2020 Toyota Corolla will be a hybrid
Toyota is making some changes to the Corolla range for 2020. Key updates include a revised powertrain selection and the introduction of two extra trim grades.
Because the 1.2 litre turbocharged petrol engine is no longer being offered, customer choice is now limited to a couple of petrol-electric ‘self-charging’ (i.e. non-plug-in) hybrids.
In 1.8 litre guise total system output is rated at 120 bhp (90 kW / 122 PS), while the equivalent figure for the 2.0 litre alternative is 181 bhp (135 kW / 184 PS). Both options are combined with a continuously-variable automatic transmission.
The first new arrival is called the Trek. Available in Touring Sports estate form only, this Corolla gains an SUV-inspired look courtesy of some protective body cladding, 17” alloy wheels and a slightly higher ride height.
LED headlights, door-sill scuff plates and two-tone upholstery are among the other standard Trek features. UK on-the-road prices start at £29,160.
As its GR Sport name suggests, the other addition to the Corolla line-up boasts a purposeful appearance. Unique design elements comprise restyled bumpers, a honeycomb mesh grille, predominantly black alloy wheels (18” on the Hatchback, 17” on the Touring Sports) and front sports seats.
However, the modifications are purely cosmetic, so neither performance nor handling are improved. The GR Sport Hatchback and Touring Sports cost from £28,025 and £29,295 respectively.
Deliveries of the Corolla Trek and Corolla GR Sport are due to begin next month.
