Orders open for new Corolla

Toyota UK has announced it has opened the order book for the new 2023 Corolla, which is built at its Derbyshire factory.

The car manufacturer has started taking orders for the latest range of Burnaston-built Corolla hatchbacks and Touring Sports wagons.

According to the company, the new models benefit from “significant” upgrades to their self-charging full hybrid electric powertrain.

They also feature new multimedia systems with additional functions and improved usability, an expanded portfolio of safety and driver assistance features and new styling details inside and out.

The firm said: “The new Corolla introduces the fifth generation of Toyota’s world-leading self-charging, full hybrid electric system to UK customers.

“As with the current model, 1.8 and 2.0-litre hybrid systems are available, both benefiting from significant changes to their engine and electric motor that enhance the driving experience with extra power, improved performance and drivability, with unchanged or lower CO2 emissions (depending on the powertrain).”
