- 2019 Toyota Corolla Touring Sports Hybrid Drive Test Review.
All-new Toyota Corolla hybrid
Stylish, efficient and a joy to drive, the new Corolla is an icon for the modern age. Whatever your lifestyle and whichever body type you choose, you'll benefit from self-charging hybrid powertrains.This is the first time Toyota has offered a choice of two Hybrid engines - a 1.8 litre Hybrid and a 2.0 litre Hybrid Dynamic Force engine - for the same model. With all the advantages of the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) platform, Corolla takes you on a spirited drive.
Enjoy the car that makes driving fun. Feel the difference as soon as you get behind the wheel, with its stylish interior, excellent handling and stability making the drive even more rewarding.
Corolla is built on Toyota’s advanced new TNGA engineering platform, delivering a truly satisfying drive. A more rigid body and low centre of gravity come together to reduce body roll when cornering, while the double wishbone suspension absorbs shocks more effectively, for a smoother ride.
The first thing you notice about the new Corolla is its bold and dynamic exterior. An attractive low bonnet gives it a sleek, dynamic profile, which is enhanced by sporty 18" alloy wheels.
Our designers have chosen a combination of high quality materials that look stunning together - and also provide a pleasing variety of textures. An all-black look gives the interior a sporty feel, or you can choose a cool grey that underlines the spacious and uncluttered design. Stylish sport seats complete the look perfectly.
Toyota Hybrids are a pleasure to drive. Spirited and responsive in the city, the 1.8 litre Hybrid engine provides a relaxed drive. The new 2.0 litre Hybrid Dynamic Force engine delivers even more power without compromising on the smooth drive. Whichever you choose, both save fuel and reduce emissions, falling to zero when you drive on electric power alone.
The cabin of the new Corolla has been designed around your comfort. Sport seats wrap around you to hold you firmly in place, keeping you comfortable on long journeys. The steering position has been designed to feel as natural as possible, helping to avoid fatigue. Steering-wheel mounted switches for driving, infotainment and audio controls let you keep your hands in one place, while a steering wheel heater keeps them warm on cold days.
The new Corolla Touring Sports gives you the space you need, where you need it. It makes the rear passengers just as comfortable as the people in the front. Its generous boot space will fit everything in thanks to an adjustable deck board, handy side pockets and easily folded rear seats. When you need to open the boot with your hands full, just slide your foot under the rear bumper, with the hands-free kick sensor the boot door opens automatically.
The Corolla Touring Sports is intended to make up for the fact that the hatchback Corolla doesn't boast class-leading interior or boot space; it has both greater legroom in the back and a larger luggage compartment than its sister model.
Toyota Safety Sense is standard across every Corolla, because your safety is essential. This unique safety system includes an array of updated safety features that makes driving easier, while keeping you and your passengers even safer.
As with the hatchback, low running costs will be central to the Corolla Touring Sports' appeal: CO2 emissions start as low as 76g/km and fuel economy tops out at 66mpg in the most efficient specification. From behind the wheel, it feels very similar to the Corolla hatchback - which is to say it's much more satisfying to drive than the Auris, but still some way off class leaders for handling like the Ford Focus and SEAT Leon.
Seats up (and with the 1.8-litre hybrid engine), the Corolla Touring Sports' all-important boot capacity is 598 litres. That's reduced slightly to 581 litres if you go for the 2.0-litre, but still about 25 litres off what the current Volkswagen Golf Estate can carry.
Standard equipment is decent, so you shouldn't really need to move up more than the second-tier Icon Tech specification to get the kit you need - although the 2.0-litre hybrid engine is only available in the more lavish and expensive Design and Excel specifications. Pleasingly, Toyota's Safety Sense package is standard right across the range.
The Touring Sports looks great from the outside, but it's not quite as revolutionary inside. Everything is cleanly designed and feels sturdy, but there's still a familiar sense of Toyota functionality rather than true luxury for occupants.
There hasn't been a Toyota Corolla estate on sale in the UK for many years, but the familiar name is back on the replacement for the Toyota Auris Touring Sports. The focus is hybrid this time around: a 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine is available on lower trim levels, but the majority of Corolla Touring Sports sold in the UK are expected to be 1.8-litre hybrids.

Just ordered this sports tourer and pick it up at the end of October. Can't wait :-)
Great choice Jeff 👍
I get mine on August 19th,can't wait.great review
Great choice 👍👍 Thanks
I also like this car a lot. In fact so much that I’ve ordered a 2.0 TS. What makes the car so interesting to me is the full-hybrid option and the practicality of the wagon. I didn‘t like the look of the auris and was more appealed to this design. What I don‘t like is the tablet on the dash.
The CVT has no gears and revvs up the rpm to stay there until the throttle is released. You should look up the tech it‘s really interesting.
Yes you are totally right. I will check it out, I guess Toyota has a great tech hybrid. They work years on it.
This Toyota has a lot of shortcomings, if you take into account its cost, then I counted a lot of improvements. 1. There is no electrical adjustment of the chair, 2. The memory of the chair is not to be installed every time. 3. There is no lamp on the instrument panel indicating that the trunk is open. 4. There is no noise insulation and anti-vibration under the hood of the car. 5. No USB ports for rear passengers. And other little things.
Yes Erner you are right 👍👍Thanks for feedback🙏
Who expects these extra options from that type of car at this price point? You have other luxury cars to consider for luxury options
I have driven the 2.0 litre TS in Excel trim. Was sold just driving out of the dealer’s car park. Easy and comfortable and faster than the 1.8 litre. Poor opening of the rear passenger doors and narrow opening. Ordered mine with saver spare wheel, a no cost option together with front and rear mud flaps and a rubber mat for the luggage area. The drive isn’t as I remember the CVT gearbox in the Honda Jazz, being an entirely different gearbox, no belts and pulleys in this one.
Cool 👍 Thabks for feedback 🙏
HI,
it´s not possible that there are any "gear changes", because the car has only one gear.
You sould not use "really" so often. ;)
And it´s not a "Hyundai Corolla"! 22:33
Thanks for tips !!
If anything it has infinite gears.
Great review very good car I have that model ordered in Ireland had a couple of drives in it it's such a nice car to drive as you said and very economical they really need to be Android auto and apple by now though, the only real disappointment.Keep up the good work.
Thanks for feedback and nice comment .👍🙏
star biker123657 Here in the UK, licensing having been sorted out, Android auto and Apple car play come as standard, thankfully.
Can now be updated to include CarPlay by Toyota dealer on pre 2020 cars.
Love this car
👍👍
Really nice car
I have the hatch version in the US and I love it. However, if this Touring model was also available in the US, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I'm surprised you don't get leather seats or a power adjustable driving seat, though.
Yes there is an option but are more expensive. By the way Drive it safe !!!
This is hybrid, yours is not, so...apple and orange.
I really like the car especially the big trunk!
Me to !
Hi, what engine has this particular model with exhaust down? Is it 1.8 liter? What level of equipment is this in Siwss - TREND? My question is if this is 1.8 liter with electric trunk opener? Thank You for information.
1.8 l yes , not sure about version, you can check my other video where I make the interior review I think there I show more info in the video and there are also price with tech and info.🙏👍
amazing car🤗
I did a test drive when the car first released in Romania, but unfortunately in the 15 min test it did not convinced me, especially coming from a civic sedan 1.5 cvt test(accelerations under 70 km/h are a joy in the corolla, no effort, but after 80-90 km/h, it is quite slow, here is where the civic takes of). Now I fell a bit sorry not buying the corolla, it would have been a better choice for every day use, and it has less running costs. I bought the civic 1.5 cvt, for 800 euros less than the corolla 1.8 hybrid estate(the civic and the corolla had the same options more or less, but the civic has an oil life sensor and it requires oil changes under 10 k km, even at 6-7 k km , also the fuel consumption in the city is about 9-10 l in heavy traffic, and 5.2-6 extra urban). The civic is very nice looking, and more sporty, and it has android auto and apple car play, but the suspension is much less forgiving on the Romanian roads. Having in mind that most of the trips are in the city the hybrid would have been at home. My next car in about 5-7 years will be a hybrid or a plug in hybrid. Did you drove the civic? How do you compare?
For my decision the most factors that stole my decision where in the first place the look, then android auto and the power/accelerations during overtakes.
The corolla estate has better practicality, auto trunk, heated steering, spare wheel, led lights, better fuel consumption and lower running costs/mantainance
I totally agree with you. I think in 5 year you can buy an Full electric one ...much better then hybrid👍
Do you have the oil dilution problem in your Honda that you need oil changes so quick ? I heard it’s a well known problem with this engine in the US.
Are there any USB ports for the rear seats? I didn't see any, when you sat in the back seats. I would expect at least 1 usb port around air vents for rear seats.
Hi Lukas, no USB port for rear seat. I was surprise to for 2019. Maybe it is an option but I don't think so. Only in front it is. Thanks for commenting and watching my channel. 🙏👍
Not sure you stated it later on. What does the auto hold do. My family member bought the same type of car and I'm trying to learn the features
Autohold turn on the hand brake everytime you stop the car to help you on hills or traffic lights
@@SDADanCars ah so let's say that before I begin the drive I turn it on and if I for example stop at a traffic light I can remove my feet from the brake and it stays still and when the lights change I press the gas and it goes forward
Yes right 👍👍 something like this ...it makes you life easier and less stressful
Perfect car ♥️♥️👑👑👑👑
Yes 👍
Salut Dan! Apelez la ajutorul tau de profesionist in domeniu,ce recomanzi pentru achizitia unei masini noi dintre skoda octavia 1.0 tsi cu motorul nou mild hybrid cand va aparea in 2021 pe piata romaneasca si o corolla touring sport hybrid cu motorul de 1.8.Skoda are motor mic 1.0 tsi dar exceleaza pe partea de infotainment ,iar corolla hybrid consuma putin si este eco friendly,dotari slabute fata de skoda.Masina o iau pentru 10 ani si pentru familie (2adulti+2 copii).In proportie de 80% masina va circula prin Bucuresti.Vreau sa consume putin si sa aibe costuri de intretinere mici,pe principiu sa-i arat service-ul doar la revizie.Multumesc pentru ajutor.
Salut Dorin, ambele masini si motoare sunt bune dar....parerea mea este ca 1l este cam mic mai ales cu greutate si la viteze mai mari pe autostrada. Eu as lua Corolla, motorul este foarte bun, economic si poti merge si la viteze mari fara probleme. Optiunile la Toyota sunt scumpe este adevarat dar eu as merge pe Toyota in comparatia asta. Corolla este si frumoasa mai ales varianta Touring. Oricum te sfatuiesc sa le testezi pe ambele inainte sa cumperi. Daca Toyota ar imbunatati multimedia si bordul as fi super.
@@SDADanCars multumesc frumos pentru raspuns si ajutor
Cu placere 👍Mult succes
We need a non hybrid 1.8 - 2.0 version with manual transmission
no power. I have the 2020 hybrid sedan.
Is this built in Turkey ? how much is it ?
I have another video with the same car and there are all info and preis...check out on my channel
I see no paddles which would indicate 1.8. On the other hand, I see the "180" sticker on the rear door, which would make it the 2.0.
I dont remember well ...but I think is 1.8l ....i will check ...👍
It's a 1.8. The 2.0 has two visible exhaust tips.
@@JohnDoe-vx3z of course it has. Good call. Totally forgot about that. I find the 1.8 adequate for my driving style, and the reliability of the 1.8, to my knowledge, is outstanding.
I'm thinking about buying this TS 1.8 here in Israel.
What i don't like is that we don't even have an option to buy i higher trim so no electric seats .
The CVT is very noisy other than that it's a very nice to drive (i did a test drive).
Yes you are right ...👍
Bardzo dobry film:)
Thanks 🙏👍
very nice car.
👍👍
Was this the 1.8 or 2.0?
I think 1.8 👍
@@SDADanCars I think.... o m. g
11:13 I can tell you're used to drive manual transmission cars
🙂👍😁🤭 I was yes ...in the last year 90% of driving was Automatic
I do that still, but I drive automatic XD
@acelerados, este pode vir para o Brasil???
Dont know sure
@@SDADanCars tks!! It seems that it will not really come!!
Sorry about this ...
Ist a very spicy car you Drive it and Say Holi Peperoni 🍕
😁👍
Was this review sponsored by Toyota?
No ...
@@SDADanCars Seems different! I rarely see that much of appreciation for a car
I really like the car....you can check on my channel I have all kind of marks...
The sound of the direction indicator is pretty obtrusive and 11sec to 100km/h is not "really really" sporty...
Yes you are right Adam
hyundai Corolla ?? :-)))
😁🤣🤭
I am bying it on monday 😎
