Toyota Corolla wins Lower Medium Car of the Year in the Company Car Today Awards
The British-built Toyota Corolla has earned further honours, being named Best Lower Medium Car in the Company Car Today CCT100 Awards, announced today.
The fuel-efficient self-charging hybrid model is increasing in popularity with business customers in the UK, having achieved an almost 30 per cent increase in fleet/business sales in 2020, despite the impact of the Covid19 pandemic.Paul Barker, Company Car Today Editor said: “The Corolla exhibits all that is good about the latest generation of Toyota models, combining efficiency with good looks and excellent levels of safety kit to make a compelling company car package.
“Toyota’s industry-leading hybrid powertrains have always made financial sense thanks to their low emissions, but the Corolla, as well as siblings such as the new Yaris and [Toyota] C-HR, are examples of a design that adds emotional appeal.”
Stuart Ferma, General Manager Toyota and Lexus Fleet Sales said: “The Corolla Hatchback, Touring Sports and Saloon have unquestionable appeal for business and fleet customers for whom running costs, environmental performance, safety and reliability are crucial considerations. In all these respects, Corolla excels with the well-proven performance and lasting quality of its hybrid powertrain. On top of this, there is the added driver appeal of its ride and handling and the advanced protection provided by our Toyota Safety Sense package – standard on every model.”
The CCT100 is Company Car Today’s definitive list of the 100 cars that can fulfil any business car requirement. A shortlist containing the top five cars in each category is assessed across 13 key factors that make an excellent company car, including emissions, price, running costs, company car tax, practicality, desirability and the driving experience to select the CCT100 Award winners.
