Toyota Corolla

Nathan Sawbridge, General Manager,

Toyota Leicester

"If you're after a car that's smart, efficient, and quietly excellent at absolutely everything, this obsidian blue 72 plate hatchback might be about to ruin other cars for you. Available from Vertu Toyota, it's got that sleek, understated confidence of someone who doesn't need to show off� but definitely could. Finished in deep Obsidian Blue, it looks sharp enough to impress the neighbours, yet sensible enough not to alarm the accountant. Under the bonnet, a 1.8 self-charging hybrid system does all the clever stuff for you. No plugging in, no cables, no standing in the rain pretending to understand charging apps�it just charges itself while you drive. Smooth, efficient, and slightly smug about sipping fuel, it turns commuting into something almost enjoyable. Almost. Inside, it's built around making life easier. Apple CarPlay keeps your maps, music, and messages neatly at your fingertips, while the rear camera makes parking feel less like a test of nerve and more like a show-off opportunity. Reverse into a tight bay first time and try not to look too pleased with yourself. On the road, it's comfortable, refined, and wonderfully easy to live with. Whether it's motorway miles, daily commuting or spontaneous detours because you missed the turning while singing, it handles it all without fuss. It comes with a full Toyota service history, so it's been properly cared for and maintained exactly as it should be. And here's where the sensible bit gets even better�keep it maintained with a Toyota service plan and you can benefit from a Service Activated Warranty running right through to January 2033. That's long-term peace of mind with very little effort. Lovely. In short: efficient, stylish, and full of common sense�but with enough charm to keep things interesting. A car that gets on with life brilliantly� and makes you look clever for choosing it."
