Vehicle Characteristics
The Toyota Corolla 1.8 Hybrid (72 kW) from the 12th generation (E210) blends efficient hybrid technology with everyday practicality. Its 1.8-liter engine and electric motor setup deliver a balanced drive, making it ideal for urban commuters and eco-conscious drivers seeking low running costs without sacrificing comfort.
