Toyota Corolla hybrid 2021 review: ZR hatch long-term - Can it change your mind about hybrids?

NOTE: An earlier version of this video was removed due to an error. We have corrected this, and uploaded a freshly updated version of this video. Are you a Toyota Corolla sceptic? CarsGuide journalist Tom White was, but then he spent three months living with the 2021 Toyota Corolla ZR Hybrid hatch. He knew this generation Corolla hatchback - launched in 2018 - was a new beast entirely to the old whitegoods-on-wheels Corolla models of old. He knew this car had helped bring hybrid technology to the masses in an accessible way, and that it was one of the vehicles that first wowed people with Toyota’s new TNGA chassis philosophy. But Tom wanted to know - and he wanted to tell you - whether it would it really be any good to live with, or just another drab Toyota like the previous Corolla was? When he was handed the keys to a top-spec Corolla ZR, it came at a good time. He and his partner had been canvassing new hatchback options, and they’d just come out of a long-term loan of a Hyundai Veloster Turbo – a car of the same size, but with a totally different approach. How did the Corolla stack up? Did it woo Tom and his partner from their previous hot Hyundai? And did it turn this Corolla sceptic into a convert - and should it turn you into one, too? -- Timecodes: 00:00 Intro 02:02 Like #1 03:09 Like #2 06:22 Like #3 09:06 Dislike #1 10:48 Dislike #2 12:44 Dislike #3 14:18 Conclusion -- Read Tom's full review: https://bit.ly/4d9lFzQ Visit our Toyota Corolla hub: https://bit.ly/4k0Lm7Z Check out our Urban guide: https://bit.ly/4dIOulj -- CarsGuide - Go beyond the test drive Visit our website for News, Reviews, Advice and more: https://www.carsguide.com.au Subscribe to our YouTube channel:    / carsguide   Like our Facebook page:   / carsguide.australia   Follow our TikTok profile:   / carsguide.com.au   Follow our Instagram profile:   / carsguideaus   Follow our X profile: https://www.x.com/CarsGuide Follow our Threads profile: https://www.threads.net/@carsguideaus Follow our LinkedIn page:   / carsguide-com-au   #CarsGuide #Toyota #Corolla #ToyotaCorolla #hybrid
