Redesigned 2020 Toyota Corolla Gets Hybrid Model
If you don’t closely follow the automotive industry, the news that the 2020 Toyota Corolla will get a hybrid model might come as a surprise. Not because you wouldn’t expect Toyota to make a Corolla Hybrid, but rather because you might have expected a Corolla Hybrid to already exist.
And yet it has indeed taken Toyota this long to finally roll out a Corolla Hybrid in the United States, which is certainly significant even for the automaker who tends to hybridize all of its models.
The reason is simple: the Corolla is the best-selling nameplate in the world, in large part thanks to its affordability, but also because of its strong reliability, resale value, and safety. It’s a car people know they can count on.
On the other hand, hybrid adoption has long been mitigated by high cost and concerns over reliability. Combining a hybrid powertrain with the world’s most popular car could go a long way toward combating the anxiety surrounding hybrid vehicles.
