Toyota Corolla Hybrid grabs 2020 Car Of The Year tag

KUALA LUMPUR: Toyota Corolla is one of the world’s best-selling models with global sales of over 46 million vehicles since it was introduced 24 years ago. In the so far journey, the Corolla nameplate has received several recognitions. And now one more award is added in its trophy collection. The Rocky Mountain Automotive Press Association (RMAP) has chosen the Toyota Corolla Hybrid as the 2020 Rocky Mountain Car of the Year.

The 2020 Corolla features the reimagined styling, enhanced driving experience, and comes with the first-ever Hybrid trim in the U.S. This new Corolla model boasts up to an estimated 52 MPG combined.

John Mineweaser, assistant general manager of the Toyota Denver Region, said, “We are honored to receive this award for the all-new Corolla Hybrid. This vehicle is another efficient and value-based offering in our lineup that provides more options for our customers based on their needs.”

The 12th-gen Toyota Corolla is greater than ever with a 2.0-liter Dynamic-Force engine producing 169 PS of maximum power. It features improved technology and the latest safety features in the form of Toyota Safety Sense 2.0. While the Corolla Hybrid is powered by the latest Hybrid Synergy Drive. It comprises a 1.8-litre four-cylinder petrol engine paired with two electric motors through continuously variable transmission (CVT) transaxle. The combination provides responsive acceleration without sacrificing fuel economy. Moreover, the Hybrid version comes with the extended warranty of 10 years or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first.

RMAP is a professional association of 95 automotive media members in Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Wyoming, Arizona, Nebraska, and Kansas. Every year, the RMPA evaluates many vehicles and selects four finalists for voting. The selection criteria involve a major redesign or addition of a new powertrain option. The members of the association also conduct the test drive of the vehicles and evaluate them on a certain basis. This year, the members assessed the 2020 Corolla Hybrid LE, 2019 BMW M850i xDrive convertible, 2020 Subaru Legacy, and 2020 Nissan Versa In the sedan category.

“As the voting finished up for the Rocky Mountain Automotive Press (RMAP) vehicle of the year, we were thrilled to have the 2020 Toyota Corolla LE Hybrid come out on top,” said RMAP president, Craig Conover. “Taking an iconic name like Corolla and offering a hybrid that can get over 50 miles per gallon put this vehicle on top for this year in the sedan category in the Rocky Mountain Region,” he added.
