What else could fit?
Volkswagen Golf
Closest mainstream rival: same compact hatchback brief and family use case, with a more conventional petrol/diesel or PHEV feel against the Corolla hybrid.

Compare the models ↗Skoda Octavia
Worth cross-shopping if you are considering Corolla Touring Sports practicality: similar mainstream family-car role but with a roomier cabin/boot emphasis.
