Product Overview

Toyota Corolla Mk12 Touring Sports (chassis code E210) is an affordable compact station wagon in production from 2018. It is available with a range of inline-4 engines that displaced 1.2 to 2.0 liters.
Compared to previous Corolla wagons, the Touring Sports has a superb exterior styling. Toyota also retained I4 engines for this vehicle, when many of its competitors switched to I3s. With its exceptionally robust drivetrain reliability and engine efficiency, it is the car to get in this segment.
Another plus is the small 10.4m (34.1ft) turning circle.

External Reviews

autocar[1]

Reviewer score 75% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from autocar have found:
1.8-litre petrol hybrid that’s paired with a CVT gearbox. Power is down from 177bhp to 120bhp because of a combination of a less punchy petrol engine and smaller-output electric motor. The boot is 581 litres (marginally down on the 611 litres in the Volkswagen Golf Estate ) or 1606 litres with all the seats folded.
Pros
  • Powerful petrol engine
  • Comfortable to drive
  • Decent infotainment
Cons
  • Lack of suspension noise
  • Alternatives are more fun to drive

Reviewers from autoexpress have found:
2.0-litre hybrid powertrain is a perfect example of everyday electrified motoring. The TNGA platform lends itself to a car that feels solid to drive. Although the driver's seat is perched a bit too high, the cabin feels well built and the materials are of decent quality. But it's let down by the technology.
Pros
  • Stylish styling
  • Good range-topping powertrain
Cons
  • Not much fun to drive
  • Mediocre infotainment system

Reviewers from carwow have found:
The Toyota Corolla Touring Sports shares the same striking looks with the Corolla hatchback, which automatically makes it one of the most stylish estate cars around. All models get an 8-inch touchscreen, but phone screen mirroring such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto isn't yet available. It's simple to use and it finds your route quickly, however, the instructions can sometimes be confusing and the auto-zoom is slow.
Pros
  • Comfortable to drive
  • Lots of safety kit
Cons
  • No automatic gearbox
  • Alternatives are more fun to drive
