SummaryAverage. An MPV version of the current Toyota Corolla, sharing its hatchback sister's solid build quality and competent driving dynamics. It only offers five seats, though, and some rivals are better value. |
ReviewAn unpretentious compact MPV that majors on space, utility and ease of use. The big cabin is predictably well constructed from durable-feeling materials, featuring lots of cubby holes and storage compartments. Driving dynamics are effortlessly easy, although the Corolla exhibits little in the way of handling verve and refinement at motorway speeds suffers from the ravages of wind and road noise. Basic 1.6 litre petrol engine feels underpowered fully laden, but the zingy 1.8 petrol and punchy 2.0 diesel versions both offer good performance. The Corolla Verso's biggest problem, other than the high-ish pricing, is the five-seat only configuration - especially against the emerging generation of seven-seat midi MPVs.
