Toyota Corolla ZR Hybrid Hatch (E210 - 2018)

The Toyota Corolla (E210) is the twelfth generation of the Corolla that has been sold internationally since 2018, starting with the hatchback model. It is built on the GA-C platform.

 

The twelfth generation Corolla in hatchback body style was unveiled as a pre-production model in March 2018 at the Geneva Motor Show as the Auris. The Auris nameplate was discontinued across Europe in January 2019, but the nameplate has been used in Taiwan from September 2018. The Taiwanese Auris is propelled by the 2.0-litre petrol engine and CVT transmission. It is equipped with VSC, TRC, HAC, Head-Up-Display, Push Start and Smart Entry.

 

For the Japanese Domestic Market (JDM), the hatchback is marketed as the Corolla Sport and sold alongside the smaller than international version Corolla sedan and Corolla Touring station wagon. In other regions, it is simply called the Corolla hatchback.

 

Depending on the countries, power for the Corolla hatchback comes from the choice of the 1.2-litre 8NR-FTS turbo petrol, 1.8-litre 2XR-FXE Hybrid petrol, 2.0-litre petrol M20A-FKS or 2.0-litre M20A-FXS Hybrid petrol.

 

The Corolla Hatchback was launched in Australia on 7 August 2018, while the Corolla sedan went on sale on 26 November 2019. Both the Corolla Hatchback and Corolla sedan are available in three trim levels: Ascent Sport, SX and ZR. All models are powered by a 2.0 L engine. The 6-speed manual transmission is only available as standard on the base model Ascent Sport, while automatic CVT is optional for the Ascent Sport and standard on the mid-level SX and top-of-the-line ZR. The 1.8 L engine with hybrid drivetrain is also available for all trim levels except the ZR trim of the Corolla sedan.

 

A top seller in Australia over a few years, the Corolla is now the best selling car, despite being outsold by the Hilux and Ranger Pickup trucks.
