<\/p>\nI was privileged to drive Toyota\u2019s first ever hybrid, the Mk1 Prius, in Japan in the late nineties before it went on sale here. Looking back now its technology seems archaic, and against a headwind of scepticism from petrolheads who took umbrage at the Prius\u2019s mission to help save the planet, Toyota ploughed a lonely hybrid furrow.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ironically, instead of petrolheads it\u2019s preachy EV adopters who slate Toyota for sticking with hybrid tech nowadays, claiming the company has been too slow to embrace electric-only power. Well, we\u2019ve seen 90+mpg on the dashboard readout of the Corolla several times when driving around our local country lanes, which is more than I remember eking out of the 50cc step-through moped I briefly flirted with as a youth, and I seriously doubt that Corolla buyers need to take eco lessons from the drivers of electric \u2018Two Ton Tessies\u2019 that are proliferating in these parts.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
On motorway runs we\u2019ve been getting between 45-55mpg, depending on how much of a hurry we\u2019re in, which means we\u2019re getting diesel-like economy, without the added smog. On a cross-country A-road it\u2019s likely to be closer to 65mpg, and I\u2019m very satisfied with that figure.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve mentioned previously what a pleasure the Corolla is to drive, especially when stepping from an SUV\/crossover-type car. I\u2019ve even suggested occasionally that it has a sporty feel, but that\u2019s not to say you\u2019d want to take it on a track day. In spite of its big alloys and wide tyres in our almost-range-topping GR Sport spec, the Corolla doesn\u2019t respond very well to being driven on its door-handles. Driven merely briskly though, the deft steering response and a well tied-down chassis mean the Corolla is reassuring and even fun.<\/p>\n
Talking of spec, the GR Sport is pretty lavishly kitted out. For a little less than \u00a33,000 over the Corolla Icon\u2019s \u00a330,225 starting price, you get 18-inch gloss black machined-finish alloy wheels, front and rear parking sensors with auto brake (the latter being occasionally annoying\/alarming when it activates unexpectedly during close-quarter manoeuvres in car parks), a three-spoke leather wheel with red stitching and creaky chrome insert, power adjustable lumbar support for the driver, and auto-retractable door mirrors.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That\u2019s on top of the suite of Toyota Safety Sense driver aids, a 10.5-inch multimedia system\u00a0\u2014 requiring a cable connection for Android phones, wireless for iPhones \u2014 and wireless phone charging of the Icon, and LED dual-beam projector lights and smart-entry\/push-button start of the intermediary Design trim. All-in-all, it makes for an impressive package, and one I\u2019ve enjoyed more than I expected over my six months getting to know the car.<\/p>\n
Toyota Corolla GR Sport: second report<\/h2>\n

Our Toyota Corolla hatch ticks lots of boxes, but practicality lets it down.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n- Mileage:<\/strong> 8,444<\/li>\n
- Economy:<\/strong> 53.2mpg<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
A three-and-a-half-hour haul to Toyota\u2019s plant at Burnaston, Derbyshire, was a welcome chance to reacquaint myself with the pleasures of driving our Corolla hybrid. We weren\u2019t going for a family reunion \u2013 although our car had rolled off
\nthe production line there \u2013 but to check out the latest development in the brand\u2019s ongoing decarbonisation strategy, which involves shoehorning hydrogen tanks and a fuel cell into a Hilux pick-up truck.<\/p>\n
Seeing a traditional ladder frame exposed as the technical team explained the Hilux highlights made it look like a hydrogen hot-rod build, but while I\u2019m about as excited as it\u2019s reasonably permissible to be about the prospects of a hydrogen-fuelled transport future, I\u2019m more than happy for now with the excellent performance of our Corolla\u2019s \u2018transitional\u2019 self-charging hybrid system.<\/p>\n
It seems a bit harsh to call it a mild hybrid, because the car is a perky performer with a well sorted chassis that\u2019s much more fun to drive than Corollas of old. Some passengers have suggested the suspension is a little too firm, but I like the fact the ride and handling balance has been tweaked further towards driver engagement than many might expect from the Corolla nameplate.<\/p>\n
The other side of the coin is that this version of the world\u2019s best-selling family car seems a bit short on the practicality that I\u2019ve always associated with the Corolla name, and that means it\u2019s too often left parked outside the house when trips with the family are in the offing. Rear legroom is restricted, while a dashboard that juts out at knee level for taller passengers in the front \u2013 my partner is 5ft 9in \u2013 means edging the seat forward to give more rear space brings little reward.<\/p>\n
But the biggest failing in my view is that the sloping tailgate means the boot doesn\u2019t have enough headroom to accommodate our medium-to-large dog. As a result, Lottie has only travelled in the Corolla once so far, which meant folding the rear seats \u2013 resulting in a noticeably stepped load area \u2013 and a three-hour journey home from Devon with hot dog breath on my neck.<\/p>\n
![](\"https:\/\/media.autoexpress.co.uk\/image\/private\/s--SO46sZlv--\/f_auto,t_content-image-full-mobile@1\/v1695202778\/autoexpress\/2023\/09\/Toyota%20Corolla%20long%20termer%20second%20report-2.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Of course, the most obvious solution to some of my transport issues would be an upgrade to the Corolla estate, but in my view this five-door variant could and should be a little more accommodating.<\/p>\n
There are a couple of other grumbles, too, which have come to light over the past two months. The first relates to the chrome-effect buttons for climate-control functions, which are small and hard to distinguish from one another. As a \u201850-something\u2019, I\u2019m sure I\u2019m not too far from the middle of Toyota\u2019s buyer demographic, and can\u2019t be the only Corolla driver who has to peer hard at the dash to work out which button I need to press to alter the output settings. It won\u2019t be an issue for those with 20:20 vision, but I\u2019d like chunkier buttons with bigger labels.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s also slightly annoying that every time I slide my smartphone onto the charging pad on the centre console, I accidentally turn on one or other of the heated front seat switches that sit just in front of it.<\/p>\n
When we welcomed the Corolla to our fleet, I wrote effusively about the seemingly great integration of the electronic driving aids, and the drive to Burnaston reaffirmed my appreciation of the active cruise control and lane-keeping assistance, which really help to create a relaxing environment.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, the autonomous braking system, which seemed pleasingly innocuous at first, is really starting to get my goat. It\u2019s jammed on the anchors in error far too many times for cars parked on the roadside, pedestrians on the pavement and cyclists at T-junctions, and every time it happens there\u2019s a heart-stopping \u2018what the hell\u2019 moment before my brain clicks into realise it\u2019s just the AEB having a hissy fit.<\/p>\n
Judging by the Auto Express inbox \u2013 and our own wider experiences with AEB systems \u2013 this is a generic problem rather than something I should pick on Toyota for. But it\u2019s still unsettling for drivers and passengers alike, and will undoubtedly affect the Corolla owner experience.<\/p>\n
Toyota Corolla GR Sport: first report<\/h2>\n
![](\"https:\/\/media.autoexpress.co.uk\/image\/private\/s--Dcz2ftkM--\/f_auto,t_content-image-full-mobile@1\/v1689873992\/autoexpress\/2023\/07\/Toyota%20Corolla%20GR%20Sport%20long-term%20first%20report.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Our hybrid hatch is good to drive, but tight on space<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Mileage:<\/strong> 3,901<\/li>\n
- Economy: <\/strong>54.9mpg<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Back in the late nineties when Jeremy Clarkson-types were making pious jokes about the original Prius hybrid, I was geeking-out on its \u2018future tech\u2019 and animated dashboard; remember the tortoise-shaped warning light that flashed on the dash when the battery ran out of puff?<\/p>\n
But the giant Toyota industrial machine was not deterred by the sneers of non-believers. It had looked around, crunched the numbers, and declared it was developing hybrid tech to be the only truly sustainable path to a hydrogen-fuelled future. While others point at advances in battery EVs, and hoot that fuel-cell-powered cars will remain the stuff of fantasy forever, all I will say is that, having spent the last month or so at the wheel of the latest generation of hybrid Corolla, not a single part of me wishes I was driving an EV hatchback instead.<\/p>\n
I write this having just returned from the 45-mile drive I make regularly between Hampshire and West Sussex, on busy A and B-roads, and on which the Corolla frequently returns more than 64mpg. I thought my old Mercedes B-Class diesel was frugal after once returning 48mpg on that trip, but the Toyota is in a different league. Such parsimonious sipping of petrol makes it impossible to believe the Corolla is doing more damage to the planet than an EV, and I speak not as a climate-change denier, but a pragmatist \u2013 who has yet to install a home charger.<\/p>\n
The Corolla I\u2019m driving on an extended loan is our original road-test car, which delivered 54.2mpg over the course of that test. It\u2019s currently mostly used for a mixture of B-road tootling by my partner, who gets up early to tend to her livestock, and typically more rushed motorway mileage by yours truly. Between us we\u2019re averaging close to 55mpg.<\/p>\n
![](\"https:\/\/media.autoexpress.co.uk\/image\/private\/s--odl8tHjx--\/f_auto,t_content-image-full-mobile@1\/v1689873991\/autoexpress\/2023\/07\/Toyota%20Corolla%20GR%20Sport%20long-term%20first%20report-4.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
There\u2019s not much to criticise about the way this fifth-generation hybrid goes down the road, either. The powertrain, with its combination of recently upgraded battery and motor, plus smooth 1.8-litre engine, makes a total of 138bhp, giving swift progress when required.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve enjoyed how composed the car feels when attacking the twisty bits, as well. The ride is just on the acceptable side of firm (and the tyres occasionally on the noisy side), but the damping is excellent, even over Hampshire\u2019s execrable tarmac, and the Toyota grips and turns nicely.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The excellent integration of safety systems has also impressed me, especially the lane-keeping assistance, which together with the active cruise control, takes much of the strain out of\u00a0motorway driving. The Corolla looks sharp in this car\u2019s GR Sport trim with natty black machine-faced alloys \u2013 but I\u2019m dreading the near inevitability of that first kerb contact, because we often have to park next to the pavement in town.<\/p>\n
Less impressive are the Corolla\u2019s relatively confined rear quarters, because my nine-year-old daughter tends to sit with her feet up if riding behind me; I\u2019m a big unit and need all of the driving-seat travel. The sloping hatch eats into boot space, too, so we\u2019re yet to try it on the dog.\u00a0<\/p>\n
