Toyota Rolls Out Completely Redesigned Corolla: Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota) announces the launch of its completely redesigned Corolla (Sedan) in Japan (previously “Corolla Axio respectively, in Japan).

Since its debut in 1966, Corolla has become a Car loved by customers all over the world, and has been cultivated as a long-term strong seller, with a track record of over 47.5 million vehicle sales in more than 150 countries and regions. The Corolla Sedan version are new introductions to the Corolla series, allowing a varied choice of vehicles to suit customers’ lifestyles.

Utilizing the TNGA platform and design with Japan roads in mind results in sporty styling with a low center of gravity, enjoyable driving, and responsive handling. The new models are equipped with the latest Toyota Safety Sense, delivering enhanced safety performance. On-board connected services have also been upgraded to include Toyota’s first Display Audio as standard, installed in conjunction with smartphones. “The Corolla is a car that is always ready to evolve to meet customers’ current needs,” says Yasushi Ueda, chief engineer in charge of development.

“For this reason, it has been a long-term favourite of customers in Japan and all over the world. The new Corolla exceeds customer expectations by ‘adopting the TNGA platform and pleasurable driving. With the advanced safety equipment and connected functions, the safe and secure everyday driving of our customers is supported. I would like you to experience riding in or driving the Corolla series just to understand the sheer fun of driving this car.

Corolla Vehicle Outline

Simple and Sporty Style with enhanced visibility

Exterior Design

  • The TNGA platform creates a striking silhouette with a low center of gravity.
  • Wide stance with dynamic molding featuring protruding front and rear wheel flares.
  • The lower grille frame seamlessly blends into a large trapezoid and mesh grille to express a powerful and sporty stance.
  • LED headlamps integrated in a slight upwardly curve further enhance the sporty, wide face. The WxB grade lends a bright and vibrant impression to the horizontal direction regardless of day and night with two consecutive J-shaped clearance lamps and daylights. The rear of the Corolla has horizontally accented rear combination lights that emphasize wideness.

Exterior Color

The WxB grade comes in a new Sparkling Black Pearl Crystal Shine. All three sporty colours are chic and carefully coordinated with grey metallic wheels and mirror covers. S and G-X grades consist of seven colors including the newly developed Celestite Gray Metallic.

Interior Design

  • The instrument panel is thin and wide to create a feeling of spaciousness. Meticulously colour-coordinated interior design produces a space that resonates sensitivity and a unified feeling of shape and texture, while the A-pillar enhances visibility.
  • Improved front seating comfort is achieved with a sporty seat (standard for WxB), and newly adopted knee space for the rear seats for ease of use.
  • The interior colour for the WxB grade, of the Corolla, is available in two colours: Black and White. S, G-X grades come in a chic black interior only.

Pursuing a high-quality ride and pleasure of driving

With further refinements to the TNGA platform, the vehicle features improved chassis rigidity, handling stability, and quietness.

Enhancing the fun of driving with three powertrains

  • The hybrid and gasoline engines have been changed from 1.5 liter to 1.8 liter to achieve seamless acceleration with superior comfort.
  • The hybrid vehicle is equipped with an E-Four (electronic four-wheel drive system), enabling smooth switching to 4WD on slippery surfaces such as when accelerating and on snowy roads, contributing to driving stability and fuel efficiency.

Pursuing the vehicle’s original pleasure of driving that makes you want to ride forever

  • In addition to adopting the TNGA platform, the driver’s eye movement, turning posture, line traceability, and other movements r are analyzed and the suspension is optimized to further pursue ease of driving.
  • The suspension uses a MacPherson Strut suspension on the front, contributing to a sense of security and stability when turning. The rear adopts a double wishbone suspension to achieve a stable drive that grabs the road surface.
  • ACA (Active Cornering Assist) reduces understeering by providing brake force to the inner drive wheel when the accelerator pedal is depressed.

Enhanced safety functions and safety equipment

Complete preventive safety equipment

  • The latest Toyota Safety Sense, which detects bicycles and pedestrians at night, comes as standard in all Corolla models.
  • Intelligent Clearance Sonar [parking support brake (stationary object)] detects walls and other vehicles during low-speed driving in parking lots and other similar environments, helping to reduce collision damage (standard for WxB and S; optional for G-X).

Safety and convenience through connectivity

A Toyota-brand first in Japan, Display Audio (DA) is standard on all models. Through DA, customers can connect with smartphones and operate map applications and music via the touch screen display. Customers can also use the conventional on-board navigation function, with a selection of two entry navigation kits and T-Connect navigation kits.

Connection with smartphones

Voice recognition enables destination-setting, sending and receiving LINE messages, music playback, and other functions, improving convenience.
  • Apple CarPlay and Android AutoTM can use maps, phone calls, messaging, and music applications through DA by connecting smartphones with a USB cable (Option includes TV; T-Connect contract required at contract).
