If you’re looking for the most affordable compact midsize car, you’ll end up with the Toyota Corolla 1.8 Hybrid. According to the manufacturer’s specifications, only two plugless cars use less petrol, but those two hybrids are smaller: the Toyota Yaris Hybrid and the Renault Clio Hybrid 140. Just as we did with these two cars, we also dive into the practical data for the Toyota Corolla 1.8 hybrid.
In the Consumption Monitor we see no less than 49 consumption scores from Corolla drivers who drive the current model, so the Corolla that came on the market in 2019. There are a lot of them, which is probably also characteristic of the Toyota hybrid driver. He is simply busy with his car’s gas consumption and likes to share it with others. Small disclaimer, in the consumption monitor you can not only filter the 1.8 hybrid. Of the 49 consumption overviews, 15 come from a Corolla 2.0 Hybrid. According to the manufacturer’s specs, it’s slightly less cheap, but it doesn’t make much of a difference. Including the more powerful two litres, the average practical consumption of the current generation Toyota Corolla is 5.2 liters per 100 kilometres. This is 1 out of 19.2. The manufacturer’s specification for a Corolla Touring Sports 1.8 Hybrid, the best-selling station wagon, is 3.6 l/100 km (1 in 27.8).
Corolla Sedan is really very cheap
The best score comes from a Corolla Sedan 1.8 Hybrid. This Toyota pilot reaches 4.12 l/100km (1 out of 24.3), while the four-door (which incidentally it soon disappears from the range) should be able to get 3.4 l/100km (1 in 29.4) according to the factory. A deviation of 21.2% is stark in practice. WE practical consumption with a Corolla Sedan was 4.4 liters per 100 kilometers in 2019, or 1 in 22.6, with the caveat that we always drive at top speed in testing and don’t drive on motorways at 90km/h, for example, while 100 or 130 is allowed.
The difference between a Corolla 1.8 Hybrid and a 2.0 Hybrid we also measured. Furthermore, the 1.8 consumed 5.0 liters per 100 kilometres, and the far more powerful 2.0 half a liter more. The factory specification is 3.6 and 3.9 liters per 100 kilometres, respectively.
Corolla renewed 2023
The refreshed Corolla will be available in early 2023, so the 1.8 Hybrid and 2.0 Hybrid will not only get a more powerful petrol engine, but the battery technology will also be updated. Now all that remains is to wait for the first practical data of the new mkodels, which have also been addressed on other points.
The Toyota Corolla for the new year. Regulated on several points, but also more powerful.
