Motorama Smarter Buys: Pre-Owned Corolla Ascent Sport Hybrid

Motorama Smarter Buys: Pre-Owned Corolla Ascent Sport Hybrid (2019-2023)

When making a savvy car purchase, pre-owned can often be the smarter way to go - and nothing is smarter for long-term affordability and reliability than a Toyota.

Here's why buying a pre-owned Toyota Corolla Ascent Sport Hybrid is a smart choice.

Pre-Owned vs New

We could go over the myriad benefits of purchasing a pre-owned car over a new one, but here's a quick breakdown of the key reasons:

Depreciation: A car will depreciate fastest in value in its first year which means, as a buyer, you can maximise savings on the initial price by opting for a near-new model over a brand-new car.

Service & Warranty: A near-new car retains the majority of service and warranty benefits from the manufacturer meaning you're generally covered for several years.

Availability: If you need a car quickly, pre-owned is the way to go. There's no waiting around for the vehicle to be delivered to the dealership - most pre-owned models are already in the yard ready to go.

Why to Buy

Corolla Ascent Sport Hybrid

The Ascent Sport Hybrid is the no-nonsense base model of the Corolla range underpinned by Toyota's famed hybrid-electric system. The quintessential small car, the Corolla has dominated the global automotive industry for decades. So, what makes the Corolla Ascent Sport Hybrid the car to buy?

Peak Hybrid Technology

Backed by 25 years of real-world research and analysis, the Corolla's hybrid powertrain represents the peak of hybrid-electric development across the automotive industry.

This results in a stated combined fuel consumption figure for the Corolla of just 4.0 litres per 100 kilometres - impressive!

You know what's better? Unlike some brands, the Corolla backs it up with real-world consumption figures.

Quiet as a Corolla

Another benefit of Toyota's refined hybrid powertrain is the noise - or lack thereof.

At low speeds, you'll barely hear a whisper from under the hood, even when the car isn't in EV mode.

Sometimes there's nothing more satisfying than soaking up the silence of a quiet engine.

Refined Drive

Since 2015, the Corolla has been underpinned by Toyota's New Global Architecture (TNGA) platform which offers a lower centre of gravity and increased stability.

This is the basis for the Corolla's refined combination of responsive handling and comfortable ride.

On top of this, the Corolla's continuously variable transmission optimises the engine output to ensure graceful speed changes for even the most unsophisticated of drivers.

Continued Service & Warranty

The benefit of having a quarter of a century of research under your belt is that you've got a pretty good idea of how long your technology can last.

This is why Toyota has slapped a massive ten-year warranty on their hybrid batteries meaning you've got peace of mind for the long-term.

The Corolla also gets a five-year capped price servicing plan so, depending on the model year you buy, you can make the most of affordable service fees.

Safety Leader

The Corolla has maintained a top-tier safety ranking for many years which is no surprise for the world's best-selling car. Based on 2018 tests, it holds a 5-star ANCAP safety rating scoring 96% for adult occupant protection, 83% for child occupant protection, 86% for vulnerable road user protection, and 76% for safety assist.

The base model Ascent Sport gets all the important advanced safety assistance features such as autonomous emergency braking, day and night pedestrian detection, daytime cyclist detection, lane departure warning, lane-keeping and lane trace assist, adaptive cruise control, and traffic sign recognition. Topping it off, you also get a reversing camera and seven airbags.

Toyota Certified Pre-Owned

Toyota stands behind its products by certifying the best pre-owned models under strict criteria, making owning a Toyota more accessible.

Complete with a 90-point comprehensive quality inspection completed by Toyota Technicians, Toyota Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles get the promise of 1-year additional Toyota-backed warranty, 1-year free Toyota roadside assistance, and access to Toyota insurance and finance options including Toyota's Guaranteed Future Value program, Toyota Access.
