The new Toyota Corolla Hybrid hatch has gone on sale in Australia – if it looks familiar, that’s because it’s basically the Auris Hybrid, which has been on sale in Europe for a number of years now. It’s priced at AUS$26,990 (RM81,500), putting it between the Corolla SX and ZR petrol hatches.
This facelifted version is powered by a 1.8 litre VVT-i engine from the Prius, making 98 hp at 5,200 rpm and 142 Nm at 4,000 rpm. Fitted with a 60 kW (80 hp) electric motor, a nickel-metal hydride battery and an eCVT, the Corolla Hybrid delivers a net total of 134 hp – the same as the third-gen Prius. The car also has a pure electric range of up to two kilometres, and it can be driven in this mode at speeds of up to 45 km/h.
Fuel consumption is rated at 4.1 litres per 100 km combined and 3.9 litres per 100 km in urban driving, compared to 6.1 litres per 100 km and 8.0 litres per 100 km respectively for the regular automatic Corolla. This boosts the theoretical maximum driving range by almost 280 km to 1,097 km, despite the petrol tank being cut down from 50 litres to 45. Toyota Australia quotes carbon dioxide emissions of 96 grams per km.
Available in a single trim level, the Corolla Hybrid comes standard with bi-LED headlights with LED daytime running lights, 16-inch wheels, keyless entry, push-button start, dual-zone automatic air-con, navigation with SUNA live traffic updates, Toyota Link smartphone connectivity, a reverse camera and a colour 4.2-inch TFT LCD multi-info display. Safety kit includes seven airbags, ABS and stability and traction control.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Its specifications are identical with the Lexus CT200h?
Kudos to those who paid about RM 160k for the low-spec version back in 2013 during the final year of gov’s tax relief and with Lexus Malaysia giving some rebates at the same time.
Closest to owning a luxury car at around that price point would be the Audi A3 (after that massive discount).
Why Toyota hybrid so expensive in Malaysia?
Thanks to Proton, its RM1.5 soft loan and outdated ugly expensive Perdana.
Why Perdana like that?
Thanks to your jepunis overlord Honda which didn’t permit some changes to donor car.
And oh, even in Thai without p1 camry still 137k
New perdana better la hahaha
Thanks to Proton, Malaysians can buy this beauty at RM228,888.
Our cars are cheap. Don’t always complain. Topkek betul. Don’t be like Jepunis foreign overlord or Party Hard, always complain car prices mahal.
Our cars are cheap and if you cannot afford a good car, means you are lazy!
Can we bring this car into Malaysia at RM82k? No tax since hbrid.
Can we Malaysians buy this car at RM82k?
No way will UMW allow this. UMW aka Government GLC will charge you RM150k for this car.
Then all the Proton fanboys and pondans will say, syukurlah, harga kereta di Malaysia murah!
Smart decision making by Toyota. Take current working design and put in a hybrid power-plant. No more weird looking hybrids like the Prius. Look around… Camry hybrid sells.
UMW, CKD this car in Malaysia and charge below 100k. Last chance for you to save your reputation and face. Do something nice for Malaysians instead of just sucking their hard earned monies!!
Apa harge in SG? Need to times 300~500% for COE? SG rakyat syukur?
82k and that figure has already include operational costs and profit margin. And in Malaysia we are wondering why is it the tax free Prius C was selling at 97k. The answer is if Prius C was sold at 70k and vios allowed to sell at 55k, it will.literally kill both P1 and P2
If u wanna know why, its not becoz of Gov. Its cuz of greedy Party Hard crony umw toyota wan super high profit margin.
I wonder why Corolla is called Altis in Malaysia?
Look at the history of corolla altis some 15 years back. The original corolla on sale in Japan is actually smaller in size.
And it might be sold here at RM182K, with 2 airbags. 7 airbags at RM192K.
Civic Hatch is wayy hotter.
