2019 Toyota Corolla

A smart choice for Sunshine Coast commuters, first-car buyers, couples and downsizers looking for something compact and economical without giving up strong performance, modern safety or everyday comfort.

Theres plenty of energy packed into this Corolla, with its 2.0L Dynamic Force four-cylinder petrol engine producing an impressive 125kW and 200Nm. Paired with Toyotas Direct Shift CVT, it feels responsive around town and confident when merging, overtaking or stretching its legs along the Sunshine Motorway.

Performance doesnt have to mean heavy fuel use. With combined consumption as low as 6.0L/100km, this Corolla strikes an excellent balance between lively driving and sensible running costs. Its ideal for regular trips between Caloundra, Maroochydore, Nambour and across the wider Sunshine Coast.

Whether youre chasing maximum efficiency through weekday traffic or want a little more response on a winding Hinterland road, the CVT gives you three selectable driving modes; ECO, Normal and Sport. It helps make the Corolla easygoing when you want it and more engaging when the road opens up.

The Ascent Sport combines a low, athletic hatchback shape with stylish 16-inch alloy wheels, while inside youll find an 8-inch touchscreen multimedia system, six-speaker audio and a 4.2-inch Multi-Information Display. A reversing camera adds extra convenience when squeezing into busy Sunshine Coast shopping-centre spaces.

Theres plenty of advanced safety technology looking out for you, including a Pre-Collision Safety System with autonomous emergency braking, pedestrian and cyclist detection, All-Speed Active Cruise Control, Lane Trace Assist, Lane Departure Alert with steering assistance, Road Sign Assist and Automatic High Beam. Seven SRS airbags and ISOFIX rear child-seat anchor points add further reassurance for everyday driving.
