Seek individuality with this fun-looking, dependable and low-mileage hybrid wagon
Fitted with a factory aero kit, this minty-fresh example also features keyless entry & start.
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. You also get a bigger boot and a larger second row of seating when compared to an SUV too – thanks to the Corolla Fielder’s extended wheelbase.
Toyota Hybrids are also renown for their bulletproof reliability, and the 1.5-litre hybrid powertrain in this car is the same one from the Australian-market Toyota Prius. It means parts and servicing are both easily sorted 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 cool bodykit and ice blue metallic paint.
What you can expect from the drive is seriously low fuel economy and the usual mod-cons like keyless entry and start, Bluetooth connectivity and ISOFIX child seat anchorages.
The car pictured – 2014 Toyota Corolla Fielder Hybrid Aero tourer
Our 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.
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. Inside, you’ll find a racy carbon-look interior inlays, smart keyless entry and start, 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 $899.
This example was purchased as a private vehicle from USS Tokyo as a grade 4.5B vehicle.
