Seek individuality with this fun-looking, dependable and fuel-efficient hybrid wagon
This one has a genuine Toyota Modellista body kit and Japanese Weds rims, too
The 2014 Toyota Corolla Fielder hybrid makes for the ideal daily driver.
Compared to an SUV, it has a lower centre of gravity. That means it offers a more positive driving experience. Additionally, the extended wheelbase of the Corolla Fielder allows for a larger boot and a more spacious second row of seating compared to an SUV.
Toyota Hybrids are also renowned for their bulletproof reliability, and the 1.5-litre hybrid powertrain in this car is the same one from the Australian-market Toyota Prius. This implies that one can easily source parts and services locally.
On top of offering better practicality than an SUV, we personally think wagons can look better too—especially when specified right like this car. It was factory-optioned with a factory Modellista bodykit and bright ‘Super Red II’ paint.
What you can expect from the drive is seriously low fuel economy and the usual mod cons like Bluetooth connectivity and ISOFIX child seat anchorages.
The car pictured – 2014 Toyota Corolla Fielder Hybrid
This Toyota Corolla Fielder was built in January 2014 and is a ‘aero tourer’ trim level.
That means it’s a top-of-the-range model powered by a 1.5-litre Toyota hybrid engine. It’s the same driveline used in the Toyota Prius that reduces fuel economy and also powers the vehicle with pure-electric drive at low speeds. It was a one-owner car and comes with a full Toyota service history.
Aerotourer means just what you think it does – a factory-fitted body kit. It features a front spoiler, side skirts, rear bumper lip and rear roof spoiler as well. This example was also fitted with a set of new JDM Wedsport 17-inch wheels with brand-new high quality tyres. It was also serviced upon arriving into Australia.
Inside, you’ll find a racy carbon-look interior inlays, Bluetooth connectivity and a provision for a 200mm or double-din Apple CarPlay stereo. The Japanese stereo in this car works offers Bluetooth connectivity and music streaming. We can install an Australian Apple CarPlay / Android Auto stereo from $999.
This example was purchased as a private vehicle from USS Tokyo as a grade 4.0B vehicle.
