The new Toyota Corolla Trek – a crossover-like version of the Corolla Touring Sports estate, built in partnership with American bicycle manufacturer, Trek – will cost from £29,225, it has been announced.
As is the case with the standard Corolla, the entry-level Trek comes with a 1.8-litre four-cylinder petrol-electric hybrid powertrain. It produces 120bhp and emits 113g/km of CO2, resulting in Benefit-in-Kind company car tax of 25%.

A 2.0-litre petrol-electric hybrid is also available: this is priced from £30,950, with the larger engine producing 178bhp. Meanwhile emissions creep up to 121g/km, translating into BiK of 27%.
Both engines send power to the front axle via a CVT gearbox, and both should offer fuel economy figures of around 50mpg.
Revisions over the standard Toyota Corolla Touring Sports estate include a unique set of 17-inch alloy wheels, rugged black plastic exterior cladding, a honeycomb radiator grille, rear privacy glass, new front fog lamps and LED headlights. The Corolla Trek’s suspension has also been raised by 20mm, while protective skid plates are fitted front and rear. Despite the jacked-up suspension, both versions are front-wheel drive.
Inside, the Corolla Trek has new two-tone cloth upholstery, a redesigned dashboard with decorative wooden inlays and Trek badges for its door-steps and bootlid. Buyers also get a seven-inch digital instrument binnacle, an eight-inch infotainment system, adaptive cruise control, a day-time cyclist detection system, and a powered automatic tailgate.
Toyota has supplied 16 examples to the Trek-Segafredo World Tour cycling teams as support vehicles, although racing is currently suspended across Europe.
Check out the latest new cars due in 2020 below...
The Aston Martin Vantage has lost its roof and none of its potency in Roadster guise.
BMW’s first all-electric SUV is the iX3 and it promises 273 miles of range from a 282bhp motor.
Mercedes claims its new electric luxury passenger van can cover 250 miles on a single charge. And, with a rapid-charging function, the EQV can reach 62 miles of range in just 15 minutes.
Toyota will be expecting much praise for this inspired hot hatch developed by the team responsible for the manufacturer’s World Rally Championship cars. With a three-door body, a bespoke suspension set-up, clever four-wheel-drive system and a 257bhp 1.6-l
Mercedes’ most luxurious SUV uses a turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 and 48-volt hybrid system, with lots of customisation options
The S-Class luxury limo will be available with a familiar exterior design, but lots of new on-board tech - including a Tesla-style screen on the centre console.
Yes, there’s still the famous ash-wood frame, but the Plus Four is built on a new bonded-aluminium platform and is powered by a BMW-sourced, 255bhp four-cylinder 2.0-litre petrol engine.
Like night follows day, the new BMW 3 Series will be followed by a searing hot M3 version. We’re expecting 510bhp from the twin-turbo straight-six.
With new hybrid engine tech and a host of safety features, the tardis-like Honda Jazz just got a bit smarter.
Rugged 4x4 looks, matched with the latest EV technology, Jeep will be hoping for big things from its all-wheel drive Renegade PHEV
