A detailed review of the 12th generation (E210) Toyota Corolla Facelift with the 5th generation hybrid including a comprehensive overview of the interior and storage space. I drove it in the city, the country and on 70mph roads. I reset the trip computer to see what the efficiency is like on each drive. This particular car is the Excel Estate 1.8 litre Hybrid.
