Toyota Corolla Hybrid

Toyota quietly released a hybrid version of the previous Corolla in 2016, but it was the all-new 12th-generation version launched in 2018 that brought Corolla electrification to the masses.

Also available in sedan form, the Corolla’s hybrid system has been substantially updated, using a 1.8-litre engine, a lighter electric motor and redesigned battery. Pure electric-only drive is only possible under light acceleration or off-throttle cruising, before the petrol unit kicks on.
