The Corolla originated in Japan and is of course sold in Japan as well. When comparing the overseas specifications and the Japanese domestic specifications, the latest Corolla has some differences in grade and appearance, but in fact the dimensions are different between the overseas specifications and the Japanese domestic specifications. This European touring wagon has a total length of 4650 mm, a total width of 1790 mm and a total height of 1435 mm. On the other hand, the domestic specifications in Japan are slightly shorter, with a total length of 4495 mm, a total width of 1745 mm, and a total height of 1460 mm. why? This is because we are considering ease of use in Japan. Roads are often narrow in Japan, but due to housing conditions, parking space is limited compared to overseas. I don't know about the UK, but in Japan you have to park your car and make sure you have a place to apply before you buy. Of course, if you have to park outside the premises of your home, you have to pay a monthly fee. In Japan, you cannot park on the road in front of your house every day. You will have to pay a fine for parking violations. If you get the chance, take a look at "Parking in Japan" on Google Street View. And again, don't you think it's rare in the world that the same Corolla has different dimensions? カローラは日本発祥で、もちろん日本でも販売されています。海外仕様と日本国内仕様を比較すると、最新のカローラはグレードや外観に多少の違いはありますが、実際には海外仕様と日本国内仕様では寸法が異なります。このヨーロッパのツーリングワゴンは、全長4650 mm、全幅1790 mm、全高1435mmです。一方、日本の国内仕様はやや短く、全長4495mm、全幅1745mm、全高1460mmとなっています。どうして？日本での使いやすさを考えているからです。日本では道路が狭いことが多いですが、住宅事情により海外に比べて駐車スペースが限られています。英国についてはわかりませんが、日本では車を駐車し、購入する前に申請する場所があることを確認する必要があります。もちろん、家の外に駐車する必要がある場合は、月額料金を支払う必要があります。日本では、家の前の道路に毎日駐車することはできません。駐車違反には罰金を支払う必要があります。機会があれば、Googleストリートビューの「日本の駐車事情」をご覧ください。繰り返しになりますが、同じカローラの寸法が異なることは世界でも珍しいと思いませんか？
Thanks for detailing some of the differences between Japanese and European models. The Japanese model is available with the Hybrid all wheel drive system which is strangely absent in Europe despite the preponderance of inclement weather in Northern Europe. If I am not mistaken, the 2.0 liter Hybrid powertrain is not sold in Japan. As a Canadian, I am confident the very practical Corolla wagon would be more popular than the somewhat cramped hatchback version. Sadly, Toyota refuses to sell it in our market. The popular theory is that Toyota wants to force consumers to spend more money on a RAV4. Ideally an AWD Corolla in the larger European dimension would suit us best.
@@rightlanehog3151 Thank you for your reply. Are you from Canada? Touring wagons are not sold in North America. It will be Toyota's decision on the North American market. Japan is said to be a slightly special market compared to overseas. In Japan, three models are sold in the Corolla series, but more than 80% are hatchbacks and touring wagons, and less than 20% are sedans. Sedan is not popular in Japan today.

Please, tell me because it s not writing anywhere, how many miles you can drive electric, still I don't have am answer ( on hybrid version ) even in the review don't say , please tell me , thank you😊
why not we transform all vehicles to solar powered electrical vehicles . when battery is there engine is there dual usage of a car as fuel alternative and power generation , in static mode.
I think it's a very good looking car especially the front thinking of getting one in the next few months test drove the smaller hatchback very smooth and quiet got just under 80 mpg mix town and motorway with at times heavy acceleration very impressed
Heres an idea...when reviewing your cars why not have a couple of blow up or real dogs and show how much room there is for a medium or large dog ?? I'm sure the millions of dog owners who buy these estate's for this reason would appreciate it ? And it would make your channel stand out??? Just a thought and this estate has started to grow on me😉👌
Wish they'd offer this wagon version in the US. The vertical clearance in the boot/trunk of the saloon/sedan just isn't enough. Also a bit odd that they aren't offering the 2-liter in the US, just the 1.8. Weird they didn't give this version keyless entry.
Yeap. 2006 entry-level Suzuki tech is only available on top-spec on this 2019 Toyota. But hey, "it's not a button". Disclaimer: I own the 1.8 entry-level hybrid ( and a 2006 GV ).
Toyota should do an estate version of their Camry in 4 wheel drive and hybrid form so adults can sit in the back seat. There is no leg room in the back seat of the new Corolla in saloon, hatchback or estate form. A car for a very young family....2 babies at max!
Toyota of North America has made some headscratching decisions the past few years. As things are, leaving the Corolla wagon in Europe + JDM isn't one of them. The Corolla wagon would have been a competitor against Rav4 hybrid CUV on same showfloor. IF, however, the Prius had moved to plug-in or pure electric with last redesign, THAT could have opened the door to the Corolla hybrid sedan, hatch, wagon (with the AWD 7hp rear axle motor option 😍) replacing Prius C (aka "Aqua" in JDM) and Prius V in NA market
@MGJMiller At a minimum, the Corolla wagon ought to be available in the USA as a factory order. The AWD Hybrid would probably be the most appealing way to sell it. In Canada, where wagons remain popular, the Corolla wagon would sell well off the dealership floor.
Barry Tse , a Toyota ‘hybrid’ uses petrol or diesel most of the time. The ‘electricity’ used is generated from the energy provided by an ICE. The fact that my diesel car has done over 50 mpg for over 200,000 miles means it uses less fuel that many ‘hybrids’, and therefore less polluting than a ‘hybrid’. You have been conned by the power of Toyota’s marketing :-) When my car needs replacing it will be replaced by an EV that uses NO petrol or diesel.
John Kellett first i do not think there is a toyota that uses diesel hybrid in the uk. Secondly i am talking about emissions not MPG/fuel consumption. Using less fuel/Less MPG does not equate to less emission/pollution. Hybrid technology allows you to recycle energy so as far as i am concerned it results in less emission. I dunno who is conning who, but even EV car is equipped with hybrid technology.
Barry Tse , but only LESS emissions than petrol or diesel (petrol cars pollute with CO and other pollutants). EVs virtually no polluting emissions in use and can be virtually none through generation of ‘renewables’. Even the possess of making EVs can be less polluting than ICEd cars with batteries than be used and recycled for decades. ‘Hybrid’ are a very short-term marketing con to allow car manufacturers to continue to use the expensive engine manufacturing factories they have built. Diesel power emits less CO2 than petrol petrol.
😂 can’t believe it’s only still around 60mpg, I get that from my 2008 Prius! Time for electric for anyone buying new who owns a house with charge point options.
Yes but mpg is down to driver and road conditions. I get 58 mpg from my 2006 Prius but between 70 and 78 when I hire the latest Prius. As stated that 2.0 won't be as good as the 1.8 but I suspect it would give me about 65 mpg.
It is basically the old Prius. Same hybrid train, ICE and transmission ( with an added launch gear ) at much lower price-points, better kit, on-road handling and safety features. Win-win all-round.
In Europe about 42% of people (like me) live in apartments. Until every car park (mine is shared public), and roadside parking space has electric charging, the majority of us will not be able to make the switch to electric. That is the cold hard fact of future EV ownership. And, at the pace we are going, I don't see that happening in the next 10 years. BTW where have to park near my home there are 500 spaces and only about 6 charging points, which hasn't changed in about 7 years.
Corolla to replace Avensis, really? I got Avensis (estate) and I suppose Corolla is smaller, one class lower than Avensis. I was thinking about replacing my Avensis however there is no alternative (Camry is not) from Toyota at the moment.
@Gazmeister Wongatron I disagree. I had an opportunity to drive this new Corolla estate for two weeks this winter and it is smaller by all means compared to Avensis (T27). It's more similar to Auris TS (hybrid) in terms of size which we use as daily car in our family (so I have real experience there as well). On the other hand new Corolla TS 2.0 HEV is much more powerful (135 kW) than our Avensis or Auris, no argue.
I do not understand in 2020 someone still recommend Diesel on cars. Diesel is only suitable for Truck and Locomotive. With the emission regulations, Diesel is choked to death although it was really good before headache from DPF filter, NOx cat. with urea injections, EGR valves, etc. was required. In small car, it is way too noisy and smelly. Diesel is death in Cars application. For the money, nothing beat Hybrid with Toyota base designs that is really reliable and proven. Others like Honda, Hyundai, and Benz used stupid transmission design for their hybrid and proven to be the weak points. Because others cannot make super reliable e-CVT with All gears (no belt) and evolve from the past 20 years.
@Jinn Genie I know why no more diesel for small cars in England in the next few years. The are all indeed death by nature. Diesel is for heavy trucks, SUV, or Land cruiser in war zone. Only recently Honda change their transmission in hybrid, not belt-cvt anymore like Benz. But in Benz, other parts always fall apart and check engine light as bright as Christmas tree.
@Jinn Genie Because naturally, Diesel is adiabatic/explosion process, high temperature produces a lot of NOx and SOx, stink and noxious. With gasoline hybrid, you get the same efficiency on the highway and much better in the city. Full EV has problems with range and for large companies like Toyota, VW, or Ford that make millions of cars, it is Greener to make 50 hybrid cars than just 1 EV car for the same amount of battery and only few can afford. Tesla is a replacement for luxury like E-class Benz or 5-series BMW, not Diesel Astra.
@Jinn Genie suck it up, Diesel is dying. Even in Germany, where most diesels were produced. People won't buy Diesel except for some old minded germans. Used diesel cars have no value and no one buy it even at a lower price than the gasoline version even it was more expensive when it was new. I am sure in 10 more years, hybrid cars will be more common than diesel and maybe more than Turbo 3 or 4 cylinders unreliable engines. Most Toyota hybrid lives without issue for more than 15 years, even the hybrid battery has 15 years warranty in UK/Ireland with unlimited miles. Don't expect any European cars have such a solid warranty. No European cars are even close in terms of solidness and reliability. These days, even only upper trim VW Golf can compete with Corolla, the rest are using primitive torsion beam suspension. 180 HP hybrid is more than enough for compact cars, there is no primitive turbo gasoline or Diesel match that power with the same efficiency. Toyota makes some turbo like UN officials vehicle, Land cruiser Diesel for warzone. Most VW, Benz, BMW, Fiat diesel are so finicky, something off, the limp mode is triggered, Very annoying and still unacceptably stinky smell. I bike2work and passing diesel cars is the most hatted situation.
Dear Vicky, which car do you recommend between the new octavia estate(combi ) 1.5 tsi mild hybrid and a toyota corrola sports touring sports hybrid 1.8 ? They have similar prices and I realize that the octavia is more digitized and has a large trunk ,but the corrola is hybrid and eco friendly and the consumption is 4,5-5 % in congested trafic.I I want to buy one of them for a family of 3 people, but I can't decide.I need your opinion as a professional.Thank you very much.
Get in touch with Toyota USA. Half the comments on these European Corolla Hybrid wagon videos are from Americans. BTW Japan gets an AWD version of the same car.
Hello guys, I don't live in the UK but I'm curious about the estate market in the UK. Are estate cars a popular option among people in the UK? Or is it decaying like in other countries because of the rising popularity of SUVs?
Lol cancelled the Kia Niro and ordered the Corolla touring 2.0. It's a superior car in every way. Also the Corolla is getting support for Android Auto and Apple.
Een vierkante mededelingen maken mij onzeker want er staat een pijl naar beneden of naar boven in! Maar niks verandert automatisch hoezo niet? Wie verkeersborden mededelingen heeft verwacht toch dat het actief wordt😣
Zerofightervi Hybrids only “self-charge” with regen braking the same with electric cars. Toyota makes it sound like you don’t have to put any fuel or electricity in it because it’s self charging but it’s still entirely a petrol driven car m.ua-cam.com/video/LQQu_ux3y6M/v-deo.html
@craig mitchell pillred but you can't run the car just on electric mode, it's entirely dependent on the gas in the tank... It's not an electric car, it's a petrol car that uses less petrol. Trust me I know, I drive a hybrid and I love them and they are vastly superior to straight petrol and diesel but Toyota's marketing is technically true but intentionally deceiving to the general public
@@azera55555 But the car will run in only electric mode below certain speeds, then when you need more power the petrol engine chimes in. How old is the Hybrid you drive? Is it a first gen Prius or Insight?
@craig mitchell pillred This is my main concern with full EVs, I live in a terraced house with no allocated space to park my car, this is the same situation for many people, particularly in urban areas. It's these urban areas that an EV makes the most sense & yet the infrastructure isn't there to make best use of current EV technology. This is where hybrids make more sense, you have much lower emissions than a regular ICE car but you can also travel with electric mode for slower speed journeys. & no panic about finding a charge point.
Yes. It's mainly just regen. "self-charging" from the engine appears when the battery is 25 - 45% and the generator is loading up to 25hp from the engine. Not the most efficient in rush hour.
they made stupid things with no offering diesel in Corola and other models and Toyota have share in Mazda which have one of best&reliable diesels on the world in range from 150-180hp
@@julosx they dont sell it anymore because their sale in Europa are bad anyway ., there is no such thing as reliable and especially not cheap hybrid or electric car !! they are low range and you must drive it slow and they cost alot!!

@@Mr11ESSE111 Dafuq ?! A lot of Japanese early Toyota Prius with hundreds thousands of miles are still running… Toyota made its name on reliability, so are their hybrid cars. They have an experience on this range unlike any other car maker. And LMS hybrid cars are the fastest on the grid.
@@Mr11ESSE111 No. Diesel is crap, sounds bad, feels bad, pollute a lot, unreliable they are all garbage. That's why they have such a narrow market range internationally, a range that narrows even more every year. The right place for diesel cars is the scrap grounds. And consumers are getting the point and stop buying them.
*Biggest con of the 21st Century "Self Charging Hybrid" - In Mid 2020 Mercedes are introducing the new **_'A' & 'B' Class PLUG IN HYBRID_** which will be able to cover up to 42 Miles from a charge. If your commute is less than 40 miles each day you need rarely need to buy petrol. Can be charged overnight on a standard 3 pin plug, or better on a 3 phase 7.4Kwh in 1¾ Hours. Rapid Charging from 10%-80% takes 25 minutes. I am waiting at the moment to get confirmation of price from my local Mercedes Dealer and may well go this route, as many of my journeys are less than 40 miles, and can be charging up in my garage when not in use.*
Are we just going to ignore that all these new cars (especially the toyotas) look super ugly in the front? It looks like a catfish that is trying to suck in the motorcycle in front of it.
Well actually they did it to make it simpler for people to understand, there is alot of confusion about hybrids in the consumer market place. Toyota has done more for hybrid and EV tech than any other car maker by a massive margin.
Donkeh McDonkey yeah but non-car enthusiasts think it’s a self charging car that doesn’t need petrol. The term ‘self-charging’ just takes advantage of the fact that the average person doesn’t think too much about basic physics or how technology works. I have a lot of respect for Toyota offering so many hybrid options on the market, but whoever came up with this marketing campaign is causing confusion and misleading the general public about EV technology.
I have been thinking of a Prius, but I can't abide the design - it looks like it's already been crashed. The Corolla looks more normal, great review.
Nothing marmite about the looks at all IMO.

Good review, but please don't recommend diesels at any point anymore! Clean diesels still don't exist, whatever they state...
Love the English.. This is how UA-cam videos "should" be like.
Thanks.. 😊👍🏻
Glad you liked it!
I think it's a very good looking car especially the front thinking of getting one in the next few months test drove the smaller hatchback very smooth and quiet got just under 80 mpg mix town and motorway with at times heavy acceleration very impressed
What would I have to do to get one of these shipped to the states
Ask Toyota USA to bring it to market. Did you notice the majority of comments are from Americans?
Good businesslike review, thank you.
Heres an idea...when reviewing your cars why not have a couple of blow up or real dogs and show how much room there is for a medium or large dog ?? I'm sure the millions of dog owners who buy these estate's for this reason would appreciate it ? And it would make your channel stand out??? Just a thought and this estate has started to grow on me😉👌
Wish they'd offer this wagon version in the US. The vertical clearance in the boot/trunk of the saloon/sedan just isn't enough. Also a bit odd that they aren't offering the 2-liter in the US, just the 1.8. Weird they didn't give this version keyless entry.
Stop wishing and tell Toyota USA to bring it over. The stubby, new Corolla hatch is more like an upgraded Yaris than a successor to the Matrix.
If you go for the Excel 2.0 as I did it has keyless entry, but all other variants don't
Yeap. 2006 entry-level Suzuki tech is only available on top-spec on this 2019 Toyota. But hey, "it's not a button". Disclaimer: I own the 1.8 entry-level hybrid ( and a 2006 GV ).
Why they don't offer it as a PHEV? even if can only get 20 miles on a charge, would be way more versatile and appealing
I think it's bigger than what's available in the US.
You are correct. This model has much more rear passenger and cargo room than the pint sized hatch we get.
Toyota should do an estate version of their Camry in 4 wheel drive and hybrid form so adults can sit in the back seat. There is no leg room in the back seat of the new Corolla in saloon, hatchback or estate form. A car for a very young family....2 babies at max!
Apple Car Play and android auto are both standard now
Toyota of North America has made some headscratching decisions the past few years. As things are, leaving the Corolla wagon in Europe + JDM isn't one of them. The Corolla wagon would have been a competitor against Rav4 hybrid CUV on same showfloor. IF, however, the Prius had moved to plug-in or pure electric with last redesign, THAT could have opened the door to the Corolla hybrid sedan, hatch, wagon (with the AWD 7hp rear axle motor option 😍) replacing Prius C (aka "Aqua" in JDM) and Prius V in NA market
exactly!
NA skipped this wagon (as many others as well) because NA market in general does not want wagons. They want SUVs and pickup trucks.
@MGJMiller At a minimum, the Corolla wagon ought to be available in the USA as a factory order. The AWD Hybrid would probably be the most appealing way to sell it. In Canada, where wagons remain popular, the Corolla wagon would sell well off the dealership floor.
Pickup my 2.0L excel estate this week, can’t wait.
I have one fully loaded. Amazing machine.
No Android Auto?? No Apple Car??
Someone tell Toyota it's 2019!
It has both in the US, so it can’t be that difficult
It is now available.
they have already in versions comming from 2019 november
It's available now and GPS becomes less attractive because all new toyota have android auto. Some older one also can be updated.
@Jinn Genie Go to dealership, they will update the OS for you or get it from eBay and install the update by yourself.
Don't need to plug them in...
*Can't plug them in...
Don't need to plug in? You mean "can't plug in".
Another ICE then. Not even close to an EV. Probably uses more fuel than my 15 year old diesel :-)
John Kellett i wonder what toxic gas your 15 year old diesel is emitting. Sounds like you dun understand the concept of hybrid
Barry Tse , a Toyota ‘hybrid’ uses petrol or diesel most of the time. The ‘electricity’ used is generated from the energy provided by an ICE. The fact that my diesel car has done over 50 mpg for over 200,000 miles means it uses less fuel that many ‘hybrids’, and therefore less polluting than a ‘hybrid’. You have been conned by the power of Toyota’s marketing :-) When my car needs replacing it will be replaced by an EV that uses NO petrol or diesel.
John Kellett first i do not think there is a toyota that uses diesel hybrid in the uk. Secondly i am talking about emissions not MPG/fuel consumption. Using less fuel/Less MPG does not equate to less emission/pollution.
Hybrid technology allows you to recycle energy so as far as i am concerned it results in less emission.
I dunno who is conning who, but even EV car is equipped with hybrid technology.
Barry Tse , but only LESS emissions than petrol or diesel (petrol cars pollute with CO and other pollutants). EVs virtually no polluting emissions in use and can be virtually none through generation of ‘renewables’. Even the possess of making EVs can be less polluting than ICEd cars with batteries than be used and recycled for decades. ‘Hybrid’ are a very short-term marketing con to allow car manufacturers to continue to use the expensive engine manufacturing factories they have built. Diesel power emits less CO2 than petrol petrol.
Need this in the USA
😂 can’t believe it’s only still around 60mpg, I get that from my 2008 Prius! Time for electric for anyone buying new who owns a house with charge point options.
Yes but mpg is down to driver and road conditions. I get 58 mpg from my 2006 Prius but between 70 and 78 when I hire the latest Prius. As stated that 2.0 won't be as good as the 1.8 but I suspect it would give me about 65 mpg.
It is basically the old Prius. Same hybrid train, ICE and transmission ( with an added launch gear ) at much lower price-points, better kit, on-road handling and safety features. Win-win all-round.
In Europe about 42% of people (like me) live in apartments. Until every car park (mine is shared public), and roadside parking space has electric charging, the majority of us will not be able to make the switch to electric. That is the cold hard fact of future EV ownership. And, at the pace we are going, I don't see that happening in the next 10 years.
BTW where have to park near my home there are 500 spaces and only about 6 charging points, which hasn't changed in about 7 years.
Great review and a great car
And it is made in Britain .
Can we get this in Australia?
Recommending diesel on “driving electric”, really?
Corolla to replace Avensis, really? I got Avensis (estate) and I suppose Corolla is smaller, one class lower than Avensis. I was thinking about replacing my Avensis however there is no alternative (Camry is not) from Toyota at the moment.
@Gazmeister Wongatron I disagree. I had an opportunity to drive this new Corolla estate for two weeks this winter and it is smaller by all means compared to Avensis (T27). It's more similar to Auris TS (hybrid) in terms of size which we use as daily car in our family (so I have real experience there as well). On the other hand new Corolla TS 2.0 HEV is much more powerful (135 kW) than our Avensis or Auris, no argue.
Why df isn’t this sold in the US?
I am sure Toyota USA would be happy to answer that question.
I do not understand in 2020 someone still recommend Diesel on cars. Diesel is only suitable for Truck and Locomotive. With the emission regulations, Diesel is choked to death although it was really good before headache from DPF filter, NOx cat. with urea injections, EGR valves, etc. was required. In small car, it is way too noisy and smelly. Diesel is death in Cars application. For the money, nothing beat Hybrid with Toyota base designs that is really reliable and proven. Others like Honda, Hyundai, and Benz used stupid transmission design for their hybrid and proven to be the weak points. Because others cannot make super reliable e-CVT with All gears (no belt) and evolve from the past 20 years.
@Jinn Genie I know why no more diesel for small cars in England in the next few years. The are all indeed death by nature. Diesel is for heavy trucks, SUV, or Land cruiser in war zone. Only recently Honda change their transmission in hybrid, not belt-cvt anymore like Benz. But in Benz, other parts always fall apart and check engine light as bright as Christmas tree.
@Jinn Genie Because naturally, Diesel is adiabatic/explosion process, high temperature produces a lot of NOx and SOx, stink and noxious. With gasoline hybrid, you get the same efficiency on the highway and much better in the city. Full EV has problems with range and for large companies like Toyota, VW, or Ford that make millions of cars, it is Greener to make 50 hybrid cars than just 1 EV car for the same amount of battery and only few can afford. Tesla is a replacement for luxury like E-class Benz or 5-series BMW, not Diesel Astra.
@Jinn Genie suck it up, Diesel is dying. Even in Germany, where most diesels were produced. People won't buy Diesel except for some old minded germans. Used diesel cars have no value and no one buy it even at a lower price than the gasoline version even it was more expensive when it was new. I am sure in 10 more years, hybrid cars will be more common than diesel and maybe more than Turbo 3 or 4 cylinders unreliable engines. Most Toyota hybrid lives without issue for more than 15 years, even the hybrid battery has 15 years warranty in UK/Ireland with unlimited miles. Don't expect any European cars have such a solid warranty. No European cars are even close in terms of solidness and reliability. These days, even only upper trim VW Golf can compete with Corolla, the rest are using primitive torsion beam suspension.
180 HP hybrid is more than enough for compact cars, there is no primitive turbo gasoline or Diesel match that power with the same efficiency. Toyota makes some turbo like UN officials vehicle, Land cruiser Diesel for warzone.
Most VW, Benz, BMW, Fiat diesel are so finicky, something off, the limp mode is triggered, Very annoying and still unacceptably stinky smell. I bike2work and passing diesel cars is the most hatted situation.
Effeciency will depends on the cycles of battery, as they are small, they will do more cycles, so at 100 000 km in ODO need for change batt? Isn't it?
ว้าว mini Lexus
Dear Vicky, which car do you recommend between the new octavia estate(combi ) 1.5 tsi mild hybrid and a toyota corrola sports touring sports hybrid 1.8 ? They have similar prices and I realize that the octavia is more digitized and has a large trunk ,but the corrola is hybrid and eco friendly and the consumption is 4,5-5 % in congested trafic.I I want to buy one of them for a family of 3 people, but I can't decide.I need your opinion as a professional.Thank you very much.
Finally what did you get???
Of course the US doesn’t get it
Get in touch with Toyota USA. Half the comments on these European Corolla Hybrid wagon videos are from Americans. BTW Japan gets an AWD version of the same car.
wish we had Corolla station wagon in Canada
I want a corolla wagon but we don't get the wagon in the U.S.
What is it like on a freezing minus 7 morning.
Heater?
Hello guys, I don't live in the UK but I'm curious about the estate market in the UK.
Are estate cars a popular option among people in the UK? Or is it decaying like in other countries because of the rising popularity of SUVs?
misuterinaso estates still very popular due to fuel economy and luggage space - but yes SUVs are definitely making a dent into the market.
@@SequoiaStone Many Europeans have the sense to choose the more practical and efficient estate.
Stop recomanding diesel for comuting. A petrol version with LPG will set out better cost/mile, than any diesel or hybrid out there.
It's very hard to go wrong with a Toyota IMO
its luxury version or gt luxury?
So many taxi drivers are getting these now. And you can see why
Soo true
Lol cancelled the Kia Niro and ordered the Corolla touring 2.0. It's a superior car in every way. Also the Corolla is getting support for Android Auto and Apple.
Good choice. Kia/Hyundai are still learning how to make Hybrids. Toyota is the clear leader in the field.
The 2-liter version is the only way.
Een vierkante mededelingen maken mij onzeker want er staat een pijl naar beneden of naar boven in! Maar niks verandert automatisch hoezo niet? Wie verkeersborden mededelingen heeft verwacht toch dat het actief wordt😣
Looks better than the Prius. Oh no, rubber band wheels!
Checked the reg of the car that's being reviewed for ULEZ fees, and it came back ULEZ compliant, No fees. bit of a misleading review
I looooooooooove it all the waaaaaaaaaaaaay from Kenya
Diesel are never cheaper to run, nor drives any better. Good review, wrong statement at the end.
Apple CarPlay can be added by Toyota & isn’t expensive.
This or ioniq?
Greetings from Azerbaijan i just jot one /can you link me to page where i get information on all electronic cruise control for example
if that's a self-charging hybrid then ALL electric cars are self-charging too
Eh?
How do you figure that one out?
Unless your EV can charge on the move then it's not self charging is it.
Zerofightervi Hybrids only “self-charge” with regen braking the same with electric cars. Toyota makes it sound like you don’t have to put any fuel or electricity in it because it’s self charging but it’s still entirely a petrol driven car
m.ua-cam.com/video/LQQu_ux3y6M/v-deo.html
@craig mitchell pillred but you can't run the car just on electric mode, it's entirely dependent on the gas in the tank... It's not an electric car, it's a petrol car that uses less petrol. Trust me I know, I drive a hybrid and I love them and they are vastly superior to straight petrol and diesel but Toyota's marketing is technically true but intentionally deceiving to the general public
@@azera55555 But the car will run in only electric mode below certain speeds, then when you need more power the petrol engine chimes in.
How old is the Hybrid you drive?
Is it a first gen Prius or Insight?
@craig mitchell pillred This is my main concern with full EVs, I live in a terraced house with no allocated space to park my car, this is the same situation for many people, particularly in urban areas.
It's these urban areas that an EV makes the most sense & yet the infrastructure isn't there to make best use of current EV technology.
This is where hybrids make more sense, you have much lower emissions than a regular ICE car but you can also travel with electric mode for slower speed journeys.
& no panic about finding a charge point.
I like it but not the seat…. If the seat suits you enjoy!
The Corolla Hybrid in the US accelerated from 0 to 60 in 10.5 seconds. That is very sluggish and poor. The Hyundai Ioniq does it in 8 seconds.
2.0 is faster.
I have one for 2 years, what annoys me is the rare doors don't open wide enough
This is not fully electric is it
No apple nor android auto ? What year is this ??
It's standard from from 2020 models onwards.
So you have to pay to drive it into London. How is that a downside? London is a cesspit. I'd pay to stay away from it.
Bigger boot in 1.8 version
Bring the Station wagon to Canada Please
Please send that message to Toyota Canada. In Japan they sell an eAWD version that would be nearly perfect for us.
Uk auris 2012
Why ?
I have a big issue with the way you are holding the steering wheel... you don't hold it, you're just keeping your palms on it. Frustrating.
No Tow bar allowed
Power steering is easier
locality warning indicators gone.
Warning voice is annoying..
no overhead locker.
Glove box too small.
Some of your points are true but we have the sports estate with a detachable Toyota tow bar
4:21 did she said "rowing band of Catholics"?
Diesel = no value, people do not buy it anymore, only trucker and trailer or 15 seats van.
« Name Touring Sport sounds like a roaring catholic band » ????
If it ain't got a plug it shouldn't be on this channel.
There's no such thing as a self-charging hybrid.
Yes. It's mainly just regen.
"self-charging" from the engine appears when the battery is 25 - 45% and the generator is loading up to 25hp from the engine. Not the most efficient in rush hour.
Too much negativity from this review...
hohatch
they made stupid things with no offering diesel in Corola and other models and Toyota have share in Mazda which have one of best&reliable diesels on the world in range from 150-180hp
Diesel is crap and Toyota confirms it by selling none in Europe anymore. There's no such thing as a "reliable" diesel either.
@@julosx they dont sell it anymore because their sale in Europa are bad anyway ., there is no such thing as reliable and especially not cheap hybrid or electric car !! they are low range and you must drive it slow and they cost alot!!
@@julosx becaus there is a such thing as reliable diesel!! after all they are fast and have long range and relative cheap and Toyota with their luxury cars which costs near 100 000 euros like lexus and similar but performance are garbage with 180km/h limited and 8-9sec 0-100km/h!!? wtf is that?? back to past and in sixties
@@Mr11ESSE111 Dafuq ?! A lot of Japanese early Toyota Prius with hundreds thousands of miles are still running… Toyota made its name on reliability, so are their hybrid cars. They have an experience on this range unlike any other car maker. And LMS hybrid cars are the fastest on the grid.
@@Mr11ESSE111 No. Diesel is crap, sounds bad, feels bad, pollute a lot, unreliable they are all garbage. That's why they have such a narrow market range internationally, a range that narrows even more every year. The right place for diesel cars is the scrap grounds. And consumers are getting the point and stop buying them.
The economy is only as good as you'd get from a similarly powered diesel for less money and less complexity. I just don't get it?
*Biggest con of the 21st Century "Self Charging Hybrid" - In Mid 2020 Mercedes are introducing the new **_'A' & 'B' Class PLUG IN HYBRID_** which will be able to cover up to 42 Miles from a charge. If your commute is less than 40 miles each day you need rarely need to buy petrol. Can be charged overnight on a standard 3 pin plug, or better on a 3 phase 7.4Kwh in 1¾ Hours. Rapid Charging from 10%-80% takes 25 minutes. I am waiting at the moment to get confirmation of price from my local Mercedes Dealer and may well go this route, as many of my journeys are less than 40 miles, and can be charging up in my garage when not in use.*
About time for merc I'm looking for a higher range hybrid than current offering
Camry Hybrid is much better
Ah the self charging hybrid 😂
Without the hybrid you would get 35mpg with the hybrid you will get 60mpg the real world
Yeah the engine charges it along with engine breaking with it being a self charging car, it's not rocket science 🤪🤣
Cute !
P.S.: I hope you'll consider ... also ... testing a ... Honda Clarity PHEV 😉
Nice 😘
Are we just going to ignore that all these new cars (especially the toyotas) look super ugly in the front? It looks like a catfish that is trying to suck in the motorcycle in front of it.
F toyota and their self charging nonsense creating confusion in the ev market place
Well actually they did it to make it simpler for people to understand, there is alot of confusion about hybrids in the consumer market place. Toyota has done more for hybrid and EV tech than any other car maker by a massive margin.
Donkeh McDonkey yeah but non-car enthusiasts think it’s a self charging car that doesn’t need petrol. The term ‘self-charging’ just takes advantage of the fact that the average person doesn’t think too much about basic physics or how technology works.
I have a lot of respect for Toyota offering so many hybrid options on the market, but whoever came up with this marketing campaign is causing confusion and misleading the general public about EV technology.
