motoring for the length of the contract. At the end of the contract you have a
choice to either buy the vehicle outright for an agreed lump sum (the Guaranteed
Minimum Future Value or final balloon payment), or hand the vehicle back to the
lender.

LEASE

Personal contract hire is very similar to normal contract hire but is
exclusively for private individuals. This is one of the most common forms of
leasing.

With a personal contract hire agreement you take control of a vehicle for a
contractual period - usually referred to as the 'lease period'. You will make
fixed monthly payments for the duration of the contract - when the contract
expires you will simply return the vehicle and take out a new personal contract
hire lease. PCH means you never have to worry about resale values of your
vehicle.

TEN SECOND REVIEW

With their Corolla Touring Sports model, Toyota aims to bring us a compact yet
very spacious estate that's a cut or two above the class norm. This revised
version boasts a sharper look, a smarter interior and a more sophisticated pair
of self-charging Hybrid engines. Plus it's still very practical, with a decent
598-litre boot. It's a car that's been rehabilitated.


BACKGROUND

You might well think of the Toyota Corolla as a rather sensible but broadly
uninteresting thing. If so, you're a little behind the curve. These were
sentiments reasonably applicable to this car's Auris predecessor but its Corolla
replacement has quite a bit more attitude. Here, we're looking at the 'Touring
Sports' estate body style.

This Corolla Touring Sports model succeeded the old Auris Touring Sports estate,
which sold between 2012 and 2018 and tried for a younger, more fashionable
audience than its hatch stablemate. People who wanted more from their transport
than sense and sensibility. It was a worthy effort, but one slightly hobbled by
a rather dull interior and unremarkable driving dynamics. Outside of the
expensive top petrol/electric hybrid variant, the engine range was a little
behind the curve too.

So in 2019, Toyota had another go and continued the Touring Sports theme with
its new generation Corolla model. This improved Corolla Touring Sports model is
a much more creditable package, offering a sharper look, but the important stuff
lies inside and beneath the bonnet in a package that still manages to be one of
the more practical choices in its class. Let's check it all out.


DESIGN AND BUILD

Subtle updates mark out this revised Corolla Touring Sports model. These include
changes to the front grille mesh pattern, fog light bezels and alloy wheel
designs. Higher grades gain smarter bi-LED headlights with an Adaptive High-beam
System. In addition to this estate variant, there's also a completely separate
Corolla Cross SUV model, though that's not our focus here.

This is one of the better looking compact estates. Some of these look a little
awkward, with the kind of finished shape that brings to mind a hatchback being
squired by a uPVC conservatory. There's nothing like that here. In profile, the
'Touring Sports' model shares its hatchback stablemate's steeply raked
windscreen, which flows into an extended roofline with aluminium roof rails and
an integral rear spoiler. This station wagon derivative sits upon a lengthened
2,700mm wheelbase version of this model's 'TNGA' 'Toyota New Global
Architecture' platform.

Inside, the changes to this updated model are farer-reaching, the key one being
a much-needed upgrade to the central infotainment screen, which grows in size to
10.5-inches and gains the facility for over-the-air updates. Plus from mid-range
trim levels upwards, the driver's instrument display gains a 12.3-inch
combimeter that can be customised to preference across four different modes -
'Casual', 'Smart', 'Sport' and 'Tough'. The driver can also make use of a new
on-board voice agent that recognises natural, conversational requests to operate
the multimedia, or vehicle functions such as opening or closing windows. The
cabin's now of higher quality too, with new graphics, trims and embossed
patterns that add three-dimensional depth and tactile appeal to the
upholsteries, surfaces and finishes. The trim and seat upholstery combinations
follow smarter Dark and Light Harmony themes with co-ordinated colours and
finishes to give the interior a contemporary, elegant feel.

This model's relatively generous exterior dimensions should be particularly
obvious in the rear, though the optional panoramic glass sunroof does eat into
headroom. Apparently, it reduces it by 22mm. There's a 598-litre boot in the 1.8
Hybrid variants; in the 2.0 Hybrid, the figure's 581-litres. With the rear bench
folded, all derivatives offer 1,591-litres and 1,860mm of load space length.


COST OF OWNERSHIP

Toyota has decided that all Corolla Touring Sports buyers should have a Hybrid
engine - and a look at the efficiency stats reveals why. The stats are still
pretty eye-catching, a typical 1.8-litre Hybrid Corolla Touring Sports with
'Icon' trim managing up to 62.8mpg on the combined cycle and up to 102g/km of
CO2. That's further helped, Toyota expects, by the fact that for typical
customers, up to 50% of typical commuting journeys will be accomplished in
all-electric drive. For the 2.0-litre Hybrid hatch, the best stats are up to
57.7mpg and up to 107g/km.

The Japanese maker describes the Corolla's Hybrid technology as being of the
'self-charging' variety, which means that it isn't of the currently popular
Plug-in variety. The brand of course has PHEV technology (it's available on top
versions of its Prius model) but currently feels it isn't necessary for the
Corolla line-up. What else? Well, the five year 100,000 mile warranty is
extremely good and even after that runs out, you'll find that you can extend it
for nothing up to a maximum of ten years, providing you have the car regularly
serviced at a Toyota dealer. There's also three years warranty against rust and
12 years of anti-corrosion protection.


DRIVING EXPERIENCE

This revised Corolla Touring Sports gets the fifth generation of Toyota's
full-Hybrid self-charging powerplant and, as before, it's available in both 1.8
and 2.0-litre petrol forms. The big differences come with the smaller capacity
1.8-litre unit, with power output up from 120 to 138bhp, bringing a 1.7s
reduction in the 0-62mph sprint time to 9.2s. A lot of that's down to
weight-saving (the hybrid system's more powerful lithium-ion battery is 18kgs
lighter), plus driveability's been improved too, thanks to a redesign for the
power control unit and the transaxle motor. In addition, the hybrid control has
been recalibrated to provide acceleration feel closer to throttle pedal use,
with less of the previous 'rubber band' effect. As before, it all works via CVT
auto gearbox with six speeds.

Whichever powerplant you prefer, you should find this Toyota dynamically able -
far more so than some of its segment predecessors. Throw the car into a corner
and you'll find that though this Corolla is no Focus, it far from disgraces
itself, with a decent level of front end grip and steering that's predictable
and accurate, though rather light. The 2.0-litre variant's obviously the one to
choose if you want a little extra performance, this version (now with power
raised from 180 to 193bhp) making rest to 62mph in 7.5s (around a second faster
than a VW Golf 2.0 TDI), but more relevant is the huge improvement in response
in the 30-50mph overtaking increment that makes the car feel so much more
flexible and spontaneously powerful on faster roads. Don't misunderstand us: a
2.0-litre Hybrid Corolla is still way down on the level of pulling power a black
pump-fuelled engine would produce, with a 190Nm figure that's almost 50% less
than a comparable 2.0-litre diesel. But you notice the shortfall much less than
you do with the 1.8-litre Hybrid.


MARKET AND MODEL

There's a £1,270 premium to pay if you want the Touring Sports estate version of
this Corolla rather than the standard hatch. That means a price span in the
£31,000 to £36,000 bracket - which is par for the course in this segment. There
are four trim levels - 'Icon', 'Design', 'GR Sport' and 'Excel'. All of these
spec levels deliver even more kit for the latest model year, with fresh colours
that include a vibrant 'Juniper Blue'. The dynamic-looking 'GR Sport' version's
been upgraded too.

This improved Corolla is equipped with Toyota T-Mate, which combines the latest
generation Toyota Safety Sense package with other active driving and parking
assistance features. Improvements in the operation and functionality of the
systems include Acceleration Suppression, which reacts to sudden use of the
accelerator when travelling at low speed; collision avoidance support when
making a turn at an intersection; Emergency Steering Assist that can now react
to oncoming vehicles; lateral collision avoidance and curve speed reduction.
There's also now a 'Safe Exit Assist' system, which stops doors being opened in
the face on oncoming vehicles, cyclists or pedestrians. And a 'Rear Seat
Reminder' has been added, which alerts the driver to look at the rear seats as
they leave the car.


SUMMARY

These days, Toyota works to a philosophy called 'Genchi Genbutsu' which, roughly
translated from Japanese, means 'go see for yourself'. In other words, in
developing its new era models, the Tokyo brand has, more than ever, taken the
trouble to speak to owners in order to see how they use their cars in real life.
You can see the fruit of that approach in this revised Touring Sports model.
It's a design with a stronger focus on desirability and real-world utility.

In short, this Corolla estate variant has something about it. Okay, so it's not
going to have the enthusiast press getting all excited, but here is a car many
people would be delighted to have on their drive. Nothing about it suggests
you've settled for a life of suburban mediocrity. Sometimes practical is good.
Welcome to a surprising new world.
