new toyota corolla

Not so long ago, the International Automobile Exhibition in Shanghai ended, and experts have already begun to draw up reports on the past event. Of course, at the Asian Motor Show, the leitmotif was "the future of the auto industry": countless concepts, futuristic updates to existing ones, as well as the announcement of new model lines. It is not surprising that behind such big names, and eye-catching show-stoppers, invisible to general public remains the presentation of the new generation Toyota Corolla 2018.

The news was announced last year. It is noteworthy that the models of this Japanese line are very popular in the Chinese region and countries. of Eastern Europe, while being the best-selling in its price segment. That is why an international team worked on the creation of the sedan (German specialists were involved in the development). In particular, this is not the first collaboration between the two countries. The same Verso and Avensis models also use German-made BMW engines.

But besides the “stuffing”, the handwriting of the Western tradition is also visible in the design of the car. Strict, sharp lines were replaced by smoothness and streamlining. The hood was made more massive, which smoothly flows from high-lying ribs into small pillars in front. The headlights are now pointed, LED illuminators are extended. The front grille is U-shaped, 3 strut, and now boasts chrome inserts. The bumper, slightly extended forward, now looks more solid.

The dimensions of the new Japanese correspond to the established segment, but the 2018 Toyota Corolla has become noticeably larger than the previous generation. The new sedan is 4620 mm long, 1775 mm wide and 1455 mm high. The length of the wheelbase has increased markedly and is equal to 2700 millimeters. Despite such seemingly increased opportunities for the realization of cargo capabilities, all the ergonomics of the car left the passenger compartment, while the luggage compartment remained close to the previous value - 452 liters.

The interior of the car really became more spacious. The designers responsibly approached the development of a new generation, and therefore each element of the cabin was changed or improved. In addition to spaciousness and ergonomics, the interior began to look prettier. Perhaps such an evaluative opinion is achieved through the use of high quality materials in the interior, especially the seats. They have become more comfortable, and the levers adjacent to them, holders, pockets and shelves (both in front and behind) fell in the spirit of the evaluation team.

In addition, the interior is now filled with numerous multimedia panels and information. console. Everything is done in the traditional Toyota style: wavy shields, smoothly turning into an on-board computer screen. In the center, with a slight deviation to the driver's seat, there is an 8-inch touch screen responsible for multimedia functionality.

The technical completeness of the car has not yet been officially confirmed. It is only known that the modular platform on which the model was designed is called Toyota New Global Architecture (we have already seen a similar one in the updated Prius). The units will most likely be similar to the C-HR cross, which is close in class. It is expected that there will be several configurations at the start, with a radically different set of engines. Of the closest to the truth, they call a 1.2-liter gasoline turbo tractor (112 horsepower), as well as a 2-liter engine with 155 horsepower. The drive will be front.

Official data on the arrival of the model on the market has not yet been called. Estimated launch in Japan is scheduled for 2018, the rest of the world will have to wait for the Toyota Corolla 2018 a year after the premiere in the home market. The exact price is also not called, and they plan to disclose it at the end of this year.

Additional originality of the new car is given by the U-shaped shape of the radiator, which is made of chrome. There is practically nothing left of the radiator grille, the air intake pharynx dominates on the bumper.

A narrow strip of a false radiator smoothly flows into the slanted headlights of the head optics.

The comfort and chic design of the 2018 Toyota Corolla

The low and high beams are made using Led technology. The lower stripes of daytime running lights, along with small headlight lenses, add seriousness to the look of the car. The headlights have become a little narrower and have taken on the shape of sharp edges.

The emblem of the company does not fit on the radiator grill of the car, so it was placed in the bumper of the new model. The first thing that catches your eye is the steep roll of the roof, which smoothly passes into the luggage compartment.

The novelty has rather large massive doors. The back of the novelty has a large rear window, a large bumper, unusual lamp shades and a powerful cargo compartment door.

The most massive Japanese compact class car recently celebrated its 50th anniversary. The 2018 Toyota Corolla is already in its 12th generation (excluding restyling). Thanks to the once developed concept: "each new generation of the model must meet the current needs of the client", the car has always remained at the peak of popularity. Competitors were only trying to get closer to the sales level of the bestseller - Corolla hit the pages of the Guinness Book of Records twice.

The Russian market favorably accepted this model, each new generation causes a surge in sales, and in the secondary market, the cost does not decrease much with the age of cars.

Reimagined appearance

After the classic profile of the 80s - 90s, starting from the 9th generation, Toyota Corolla changed the traditional proportions. The sedan looked like a downed burly man, the outlines of the cabin dominated the hood and trunk. After working on the 12th generation, the artists managed to bring back the squat swiftness of the 90s model. The proportions have not actually changed: upon closer examination, it is obvious that similar body panels are used. However, several additional lines side stampings, as well as new bumpers, visually stretched the body. Newly designed light-alloy wheels in 15 or 16 inches.

The facade has been completely transformed - there is actually no radiator grille, the air intake opening on the bumper dominates. The shape of the front end is built on proven touches from previous generations of Lexus. It was enough to remove the vertical edges at the corners of the bumper, and the car would not be recognized.

A narrow strip of a false radiator neatly passes into the rapidly slanting headlights. Traditionally, grating elements are continued in the optics housing. Only in the new generation it does not look so intrusive. The lower strips of daytime running lights, along with small headlight lenses, give the “look” seriousness, if not aggressiveness. Near and far beam using Led technology.

The emblem of the brand does not fit into the width of the radiator grille, and forms a traditional stamping in the bumper. Only unlike the playful "nose" of the 2000 model, this element looks neat and strict.

The stern has changed little, just the lights have become somewhat narrower and sharp edges have been added (again, hello from Lexus). Of course, LEDs with a well-balanced brightness balance are used.

What is inside?

Of course, the main trump card of the model remained unchanged: inside new Toyota The 2018 Corolla still looks a lot more spacious than it is on the outside. How the trunk volume does not suffer at the same time - only body builders know. The height of the ceiling is especially striking (we recall the visually squat exterior). At the same time, the car does not sin with thin door panels (many manufacturers increase the width of the cabin in this way). All passengers are really comfortable, you can travel long distances.

With each new generation of Corolla, Toyota artists are getting rid of the tradition of making practical but boring interiors. The 2018 version is no exception. The massive but elegant instrument panel has the features of Luxury. At the same time, without sticking out of the class, this is not the top model of the brand. Faux leather trim with trendy stitching, harmonizes with the smooth central panel covered with glossy lacquer.

The multimedia system is, as it were, integrated into a common plane. The 7-inch screen and full touch control take the owner to a higher class of cars, while the price of the 2018 Toyota Corolla remains the same, no more than 10% change.

The driver will be pleased with the central color display between the round scales of analog instruments. It looks like a smartphone screen, has a size of 4.2 inches and is placed vertically. Before your eyes all the basic information about current state car systems.

Traditionally for the model, there are many convenient niches in the cabin. For example, the phone recess in the center of the dashboard easily accommodates a smartphone with a 5.5-inch display. The cupholders (in addition to the mentioned smartphone) easily fit a one and a half liter bottle of water.

The new Toyota Corolla 2017 has become the eleventh sedan of the popular Japanese family. The car received not only a luxurious appearance, but also excellent equipment that meets all the requirements of modern technology. Also updated model year.

The model is more focused on Europe. However, our motorists will also be able to enjoy all the qualities of a sedan, since the start of sales of Toyota Corolla 2017 2018 in Russia will take place in the summer.

Most of all I liked the original design idea. The car has become much more attractive than its predecessor. In appearance, more smooth, streamlined lines, ferocity, arrogance, and sportiness were added.

This impression is produced by a sloping massive hood with a pair of high ribs, turning into narrow front pillars, as well as luxurious optics, represented by huge blocks of pointed headlights. Additional originality creates a U-shaped chrome grille. It has noticeably become narrower and is represented by three wide transverse ribs.

The photo of Toyota Corolla 2017 2018 clearly shows that front bumper also acquired a new geometry. Its design protrudes slightly forward. Due to the large air intake opening, trapezoidal compartments for fog lights, the bumper gives the car an additional appeal.

The side view is more concise. Attention is drawn to a rather steep roll of the roof, turning into the trunk. Smooth window sill line, massive doors. New body Toyota Corolla 2017 2018 has been completely redone. The creators strengthened its individual elements, made the frame more durable, which successfully withstood all the tests for torsion, kink, frontal impact.

Behind the car looks attractive, solid, majestic. A huge rear window, a massive bumper, lamp shades with complex architecture, a powerful trunk lid harmoniously complement the already luxurious exterior. In a word, the car turned out to be simply chic and it is absolutely impossible to find fault with its appearance.

As for the dimensions of the 2017-2018 Toyota Corolla, they are quite consistent with their class. The sedan has become noticeably larger than its predecessor. Its length was 4620 mm, width 1775 mm, height 1455 mm. The wheelbase has also added 100 mm and now its length is 2700 mm.

sedan interior

I really liked the interior of the new model. Salon meets the highest quality materials, excellent ergonomics, comfortable chairs. The front panel is tastefully done. Its design is clear, geometric lines, smooth transitions.

The instrument panel is traditionally closed by a domed visor, under which you can see two large wells, between which the on-board computer screen is installed. AT new version its diagonal became 5 inches.

The center console has also completely changed its design. It is presented in the form of three separate sectors. The top one contains two rectangular horizontal deflectors. The second section is given over to an 8-inch touchscreen display of a multimedia complex, on the sides of which you can see buttons and switches. The lower compartment is a radio.

There is plenty of free space, as if it were years. According to the reviews of the owners of Toyota Corolla 2017 2018, passengers of both the first and second rows will feel comfortable. I especially liked that more compartments, shelves, pockets, holders were added to the cabin. It can be seen that the manufacturer really cares about their customers.

The luggage compartment has practically remained at the same level. In volume, he added only 2 liters, having received 452 liters of cargo space. As for a sedan, this is very good.



The basic version received the following options:

• power accessories for side mirrors;
• LED running lights;
• full-size spare;
• steering wheel tilt and reach adjustment;
• roadway illumination system;
• mechanical seat adjustment;
• heated front seats;
• air conditioner;
• front power windows;
• ABS systems, exchange rate stability;
• good set of electronic assistants.

Specifications

Three petrol four-cylinder engines. This is exactly the line of power units that will be available to Russian buyers. All engines are capable of endowing Toyota Corolla 2017 2018 with decent technical characteristics.

The car can hardly be called dynamic, but with fuel economy it is in full order, which cannot but rejoice. There will be two gearboxes. This is a semi-sports 6-speed "mechanics" and a 7-speed "variator". But the manufacturer ruthlessly deleted the 4-speed "automatic" from the list.



I was very pleased with the number of trim levels and prices for the 2017 Toyota Corolla. There will be six of them: Standard, Classic, Classic+, Elegance, Style, Style+. Each of them is distinguished by a huge set of modern options, systems and functions.

The price for the basic version of the 2017 Toyota Corolla is almost 900,000 rubles. The maximum configuration will cost from 1,250,000 rubles. Its equipment includes:

• fog lights;
• combined seat trim in leather and fabric;

• dual-zone climate control;
• windshield heating;
• rear armrest;
• leather multifunctional steering wheel;
• front, rear parking sensors;
• parking assistant;
• light and rain sensors;
• Rear View Camera.

Sedan competitors

No matter how good the 2018 Toyota Corolla is, it has enough competitors. For example, Audi A3 and BMW 1 series. A3 is the owner of a strict but stylish body design, which still loses somewhat to Toyota.

Salon Audi is distinguished by high-quality finishes, good ergonomics of the driver's seat. The undoubted advantage of the car are:

• durable paintwork;
• elastic dense suspension.

There are no complaints about the smooth operation of the automatic transmission. The acceleration dynamics of the car is in perfect order. Despite its solid dimensions, the Audi A3 demonstrates decent maneuverability and on busy city roads.

I would call Audi's problems the “crickets” appearing in the cabin over time, hard plastic, which eventually begins to show cracks, and a cramped rear seat. Many car owners note frequent electrical failures, especially in winter time. Also, the A3 cannot boast of economical fuel and oil consumption, and its maintenance is quite expensive.

The stylish, elegant body design of the BMW 1 Series will please many. Equally vivid emotions are evoked by a comfortable interior, in which everything is arranged according to the mind. The driver's seat is characterized by good ergonomics, the presence a large number adjustments.



In addition, BMW has good sound insulation, which many rivals can envy. The advantages include:

• excellent handling;
• good visibility;
• dynamism;
• quick "automatic".

Of the shortcomings, I would single out:

• cramped rear seat
• no spare wheel;
• rigid suspension.

Not in favor of BMW is high gas mileage, a meager list of equipment in the basic version, disgusting paddle shifters that are not fixed.

Advantages and disadvantages

Understand how much new toyota Corolla 2017 has become better or worse, test drive video will help. My opinion is that the car deserves the highest respect. Its main advantages are:

• beautiful, luxurious, modern design;
• comfortable salon;
• good quality finish;
• a wide range of modern engines;
• good sound insulation;
• excellent standard optics;
• rich equipment;
• large selection of kits.

Of the shortcomings, it is worth noting:

• high cost;
• expensive service;
• not very good rear visibility;
• small trunk;
• rigid suspension.
