The Toyota Corolla Apex, it has to be said, is a tantalizing preview of what’s coming for Toyota’s ultra hot-selling compact sedan and hatch. The variant gets many cool visual upgrades and some light performance mods we’ll discuss in a moment, but know that later this year Toyota will be releasing a GR version of the Corolla with a whole whack of high-level tuning – including the addition of AWD – that will bring it in to bona-fide performance compact territory.
Inside, the Apex packages adds a power moonroof, 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality, wireless charging and 6-speaker audio.

In the Corolla, what we have is the older system complete with tame graphics, a touchscreen that’s a little slow to respond and a navigation system that makes you happy Apple CarPlay is compatible because it’s far superior.
Of course, the big draw for the type of folk that may be after one of these is that wonderful shift lever sprouting from the transmission tunnel there. That’s your connection to a 6-speed manual transmission – you can have it in auto but indeed, a car like this demands the respect of a manual ‘box , and so Toyota has been happy to oblige.
