TOYOTA COROLLA CAR LEASING
Since 1966, more than 46,000,000 Toyota Corolla’s have found homes all over the world.
Here in Europe, we’ve been without the Corolla name for a little while. Toyota decided to pull the name from the European market back in 2006, replacing it with ‘Auris’, but now the Japanese giant has decided to bring back its famous name for an all-new model.
Originally, the Corolla arrived back in 1966 and since then it has been sold all over the world and proven popular in all kinds of markets. The new Corolla is officially the 12th generation of this car and that is almost certainly the most popular car of all time, achieving more than 46-million sales globally.
For the Corolla’s return, there are 3 new engines. Understandably, being a Toyota, the focus is very much on hybrid engine technology. The hybrids are 1.8 and 2.0-litre 4-cylinder petrol options accompanied by the electric motor and produce 120 and 178bhp respectively, with CO2 emissions for each listed at 83 and 89g/km. Looking at the new WLTP figures, 50mpg should be fairly achievable in each of the hybrid units, though it will no doubt be easier in the 1.8-litre. Both the hybrid engines come with a CVT automatic gearbox, so if you want a manual gearbox, you’ll have to opt for the 1.2-litre non-hybrid - a 114bhp engine with emissions of 132g/km and expected fuel efficiency just inside the 40’s.
When opting for one of our Toyota Corolla car leasing deals you have the choice of a hatchback or an estate (that Toyota calls a ‘Touring Sports’) as well as with a choice between 4 trim levels named – in order from entry to top-spec - Icon, Icon Tech, Design and Excel. With Synergy’s Corolla car lease, entry level Icon cars get heated seats with lumbar support and Toyota’s 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with DAB digital radio, Bluetooth and a handy reversing camera. All models also get Toyota Safety Sense, which includes a bundle of technology designed to make driving safer. Adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assistance, road sign detection, pre-collision assist, and automatic high beam are all part of this package.
With its efficient engines and modern looks, the Corolla is returning to the European market with plenty of plus points, which makes it the perfect time to lease a Toyota Corolla. As we increasingly look to hybrid power to cut emissions, this car is a timely addition and a model we think Synergy customers will really enjoy, especially with our Toyota Corolla leasing deals.
