The Toyota Corolla has become popular among Australians as one of the most affordable and economical cars, and it would be the perfect choice for new drivers as their first car. Wondering why? We prepared 5 reasons for you to find out. 

Reliability and Durability.

One of the longest-running reputations of the Toyota Corolla has been its reliability. Refined over a decade, the hybrid system couples a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine with an electric motor for smooth, long-lasting performance. The system is then mated to regenerative braking to recharge the battery, reducing wear and making maintenance a breeze. From your daily commute to a weekend escape, you can trust the Corolla Hybrid to get you there without fuss.

Budget-Friendly Ownership

Looking for an affordable first car? Look no further, the Toyota Corolla is the one you have been looking for. It’s price starts from just $23,500 for the 2024 Corolla Hybrid. To own a car with great safety features, a comfortable interior, and one that will save you money with great fuel economy, you do not need to break the bank; the Toyota Corolla makes the perfect choice for new drivers. 

Fuel Economy

If you want to save at the pump, the Corolla Hybrid does not disappoint with excellent fuel economy. You will get as high as an average 53 MPG in the city and 46 MPG on the highway, up to 908 kilometers on one gas tank, depending on the trim level. Be it cruising around town or driving farther on the highway, the Corolla Hybrid will indeed promise that you go farther on less, which again would work great for new drivers by keeping their running costs very low.

Safety Features

We all know safety comes first, especially for the new drivers, and the Toyota Corolla is all about making it safe at all times. The Corolla contains a variety of safety features, from the Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection to Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, all working together to let you ride your car with confidence. 

Low Maintenance Costs: 

One of the reasons the Toyota Corolla has been a favourite for generations is its low maintenance costs. Its good reputation for being easy to maintain, thanks to its straightforward design and high reliability has grown on Australians.
