In 2006, Toyota introduced the 10th generation of Corolla family cars: Toyota Corolla X (E140/150). The car was produced in a single body version - a sedan, and differed from the previous generation E120 in a more modern and solid appearance, as well as significantly increased dimensions.

Dimensions of Toyota Corolla X:

• length - 4540 mm;
• width - 1760 mm;
• height - 1470 mm;
• wheelbase - 2600 mm;
• ground clearance of vehicles intended for the Russian market - 150 mm.

This Corolla model has been and continues to be in great demand among motorists and, in addition, was highly appreciated by experts. So, as a result of crash tests conducted by the independent European organization EuroNCAP, Toyota Corolla E140 became the first class C car to receive five stars in the entire history of this organization. This was achieved thanks to an excellent security system: up to seven airbags were installed in cars, depending on the configuration; the front seats have a neck injury prevention device; a system is provided that notifies of unfastened seat belts and so on.

Difference between E140 and E150

A common mistake among motorists is the misconception about the 140 and 150 Toyota Corolla X models. Many believe that the 140 series is pre-styling, and the 150 series has been released since 2010. To dispel this misconception, it should be clarified: this is the same model, produced for different countries.

Toyota Corolla E140 is shown in the photo below. It was produced for the USA, UAE, Thailand and some other countries and has the following differences:

1. The cars were equipped with 1.8- and 2.4-liter engines.
2. The front optics are equipped with running lights (DRL), the number of reversing lights is paired, fog lights are not provided in this version.
3. The rear suspension of most cars is independent, spring type.
4. Rear disc brakes.
5. The body kit of the main body elements: bumpers, fenders and sills - S and XRS series.
6. Body marking - E140.

Cars Toyota Corolla E150 (see photo) were produced for Europe, England and the countries of the former USSR. They have the following distinguishing features:

1. The interior is made in dark colors; instrument panel type Optitron (with displays).
2. There are no DRL headlights in the front optics; fog lights and one reversing lamp are installed at the rear.
3. The rear suspension is represented by a beam. For Russian roads, a special suspension design is provided, in which the rear bumper of the car is slightly raised, and consumables are more durable.
4. The rear brakes are disc only as standard.
5. Engines with a volume of 1.4 and 1.6 liters.
6. Body marking - 150.
7. Different from the American model body kit bumper and fenders.

Appearance 10th generation Toyota Corolla

The Corolla in the 150 body has gone through two updates, with the last one, in 2010, being more dramatic. The changes affected both the appearance of the car and the interior equipment.

As a result of restyling, the car received a bumper of a different configuration, an enlarged air intake, a chrome-plated radiator grille, the shape of the front and rear headlights, the design of the rims changed, and turn signal repeaters appeared on the rear-view mirrors.

The changes also affected the interior. It has an advanced audio system with a USB connector and Bluetooth support. Expensive configurations get a good quality reversing camera with a display integrated into the rear-view mirror. The upholstery was made with higher quality materials, and various shades of gray were added to its color scheme.

The design of the steering wheel has also been changed: it has become flatter at the bottom and has received a thickened rim. The illumination of the instruments has changed from orange to white, which improved their visibility.

Updates also affected the control system: it became possible to open the trunk using a button located on the ignition key, front seats are equipped with power windows in all trim levels.

Specifications Corolla 150 body

The tenth generation Toyota Corolla is equipped with two types of gasoline engines, with displacements of 1.33 and 1.6 liters. For the first, a six-speed manual transmission is provided, for the second, in addition to the “mechanics”, a four-speed automatic transmission can be installed.

Continuous technical improvement and meeting customer requirements is the main principle of the development of the Toyota brand automotive industry, which was formulated by Tatsuo Hasegawa, chief engineer of the first generation of the car. Toyota Corolla 2008 - another confirmation of the embodiment of this concept in the tenth generation of Corolla x. It is thanks to this principle that Toyota leads in sales of its cars in the world and in Russia. In this leadership, the Corolla 150 occupied a firm place. Enough has been said to give a few lines to the description of this car.

Toyota Corolla 150 after the update

The e150 model before restyling has a distinct body appearance and the appearance of the Corolla 2008 model turned out to be dynamic and impetuous. The front optics have become more elongated to the grille and narrower, the taillights have also changed shape.

After updating the Corolla model in 2010, the front and rear bumpers were reshaped, a chrome grille and new 16-inch alloy wheels were installed. Cosmetic improvements not only improved the design, but made it look rich and prestigious.
There were other renovations: turn indicators were installed on the rear-view mirrors, the shape of the front and rear headlights was slightly changed. The rear-view mirror has become self-dimming, in addition, a screen is mounted in it that shows the picture from the rear-view camera. The latest design changes were implemented in the 2010 Corolla.

Salon body E150

Thanks to changes in the interior of the Corolla 2008 and Corolla 2009, not only the interior has been improved, but also the comfort of the driver and passengers. The steering wheel has become flat on the underside, and the rim is thickened. Changed the color of the dashboard lighting from orange to white, which improved its visibility. The second row of seats has become more comfortable for three people. In the absence of a third passenger on the second row, you can use the folding armrest with two cup holders. If necessary, the rear seats can be folded down.

Beige leather interior in the Corolla 150 is not often seen

Constructive changes have been made to the management of interior functions. So, the trunk open button is placed on the ignition key, the front seats are also equipped with power window control buttons. The audio system has been improved by installing USB and bluetooth communication with external devices. Salon began to upholster material of better quality.

Pay attention to the "petals". Why are they Corolla 150?

Specifications Corolla 150 body

Six types of engines can be installed on Toyota Corolla. In Russia, 3 of them have the following characteristics: 1.4 4ZZ-FE 97 horsepower, 1.3 liters. 101 HP 1NR-FE, 2ZR-FE has a volume of 1797 cm3 and a power of 133 hp. and 1ZR-FE 1.6 l. 124 horses.

Three types of gearboxes (gearboxes) are installed on the Corolla 2008: a mechanical 6-speed, an automatic 4-speed and a variator box. Mechanics, equipped with engines 1.3 1NR-FE, 1.4 4ZZ-FE, 1.5 NZ-FE, 1.6 1ZR-FE, 1.8 2ZR-FE, D4D. The automatic transmission is installed with a 1.6 1ZR-FE engine. CVT for Corolla 2008 is only available with 1.5 1NZ-FE engine.
It should be said about the robot gearbox, as an unsuccessful design option, which was finally removed from the restyled Toyota Corolla 2010.
The suspension design of the King 2008 is typical for this class of cars and is characterized by enviable endurance. Designs of springs and shock absorbers with a clearance height of 150 mm. allow you to ride comfortably on rough roads. The car is controlled by means of a steering rack and pinion with an amplifier on an electric or hydraulic drive. The turning radius of the machine is 5.2 m.

Corolla 150 might look epic)

In terms of fuel consumption, Toyota Corolla is an economical car. Depending on the type of engine, fuel consumption outside the city ranges from 4.9 liters to 6 liters. per 100 km. In urban conditions, this figure varies from 7.3 to 9.3 liters, and in a mixed driving mode - from 5.8 to 7.2 liters. The diesel engine is the most economical, it consumes 4.4 liters, 7 liters, 5.3 liters in the countryside, in the city and in mixed modes, respectively. Cars with engines of 1.6 l, 1.8 l, complete with automatic transmission, are the most consumable. The volume of the fuel tank is 55 liters. The standard brand of AI-95 gasoline recommended for refueling.

Dimensions Toyota Corolla 150

The dimensions of the Corolla 2008 have also undergone changes, they have grown. Their values ​​were: length, width, height - 4540 mm, 1760 mm, 1470 mm, respectively. The increase in dimensions gave the car an impressive look, made it possible to increase the interior and make it more comfortable, as well as increase the volume of the trunk to 450 liters.

Typical breakdowns and problems in operation

Of course, every year the car gets better and, of course, the 2011 Corolla is better than the Corolla 120. Nevertheless, some shortcomings occur throughout the entire period of operation of the Toyota Corolla 2008.

Swift Toyota Corolla 150

The cons of the Corolla are generated by small design flaws, which include vibration in the doors that occur when driving, noise in the control panel, and a bulky radio is not justified. Corolla is an urban car, it is not well suited for driving on country roads.

But its shortcomings are already the result of more serious design miscalculations and flaws, which then become the cause of typical repairs. Among them are: a breakdown of the robot gearbox, rapid wear of the plastic bushing of the steering rack. With a run of about one hundred thousand kilometers, there may be a failure of the starter bendix, or a water pump. The disadvantages include low-power engines, poor dynamics, not the best head lighting.

Stern Toyota Corolla 150

But the advantages of Toyota Corolla:
High level of security;
low fuel consumption;
high level of environmental friendliness;
modern attractive external and internal design of the machine;
the extreme reliability of the Corolla X, if you do not take into account the robot.

These positive points ultimately provide her with undeniable advantages in the market, thanks to which Toyota Corolla has been a leader in sales for many years.

Test Drive

The high quality of the Corolla 2008, Corolla 2009, as well as subsequent editions of the Corolla e150 is confirmed by numerous test drives. They showed excellent vehicle handling in a wide variety of conditions: in winter on snow and ice, in summer in desert conditions. But regardless of the conditions outside, the Toyota Corolla maintains sufficient comfort in the cabin.

Options Toyota Corolla E150 sedan

Toyota Corolla X entered the European market in 2007. At the same time, the 2007 Corolla began to be produced in several trim levels.

Comfort equipment is the basic equipment of the car. It includes air conditioning, front power windows, headlight washers, heated front seats and mirrors. The car has central locking.

Restyling Toyota Corolla 150

A higher level of equipment - elegans. In addition to the above, it includes a power window in the rear doors, automatic climate control, an improved radio with additional speakers. The steering wheel has controls for the audio system and foglights.

The highest level of equipment prestige. It involves additional alloy wheels, light and rain sensors, an engine start button.

There are also intermediate configurations: comfort plus and elegans plus. Since the differences between the intermediate types and the main types are insignificant, we do not give a description of them.

Buy Toyota Corolla X

It is clear that we are not talking about the IX generation Corolla 120 or the 120 generation Corolla, this is an outdated version. But by and large, buying a car for the vast majority of users is a costly undertaking with long-term consequences associated with the operation of the car. Therefore, of course, doubts may remain for some time even after buying a car, until it dispels them for you. Of course, anything can happen, but in favor of a positive decision to purchase Corolla 2008, the long-term superiority of this car in sales can speak.

What to buy instead of toyota corolla competitor review

But, if for various reasons you didn’t like the Corolla, then the choice on the market is widely presented. For the same money, instead of a corolla 2009 or a Toyota Corolla 2011, you can buy a Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Elantra, Ford Focus, Kia Ceed, Kia Cerato or Volkswagen Golf. But it just raises doubts whether they can compete with the Corolla in reliability.

Toyota Corolla engine protection will help protect the lower part of the car from dirt, stones and dampness, as well as from mechanical damage. Protection can be supplied at dealers or installed after buying a car yourself. In order not to make a mistake with the choice, you should know the required dimensions of the engine crankcase for Toyota Corolla, the method of its fastening, as well as understand the types of crankcase protection and manufacturers.

Plastic engine protection Toyota Corolla

Plastic protection will protect the crankcase from contamination, but it is ineffective in case of mechanical damage. Manufacturers recommend installing aluminum or steel. Composite protection with a strong impact will burst, and it will be impossible to restore it.

Why do you need engine protection?

• The engine crankcase guard securely covers the bottom of the car, protecting important engine and gearbox components from damage when hitting an uneven road section.
• In addition, the protection closes the elements from pebbles, dirt, sand flying from the road, which, accumulating in the lower part of the machine, cause premature aging and rapid wear of the elements.
• Finally, the third function of the spare part is to protect the car from theft. The fact is that in many cases, in order to start the car, attackers need to get to the wiring, which is located at the bottom of the car. The protective plate securely closes this area and eliminates the risk of intrusion.

If you plan to install protection from another car, the Prius, Auris and Lexus CT200h protections are suitable for the Corolla 150 with a 1.6 engine.

The Toyota Corolla E150 is the 10th generation of the popular line of cars, which was released in early 2006. Despite the long development of the concept of the car, the new Corolla received both new features and shortcomings.

Toyota Corolla E150: briefly about the main

The E150 car was aimed at the markets of Great Britain, Central Europe and the countries of the former USSR, and differs from the American version in the body kit of the bumper and fenders. Also, the American Corolla has more functionality and power potential.

During its history, the E150 model has experienced 2 upgrades, as a result of which serial flaws and vulnerabilities of the brand were eliminated. And if the first refinement was aimed at increasing the functionality of the car, then the second restyling consisted in the global processing of the E150 concept - the Corolla, produced since 2010, is characterized by:

• Improved aerodynamics - the bumper and air intakes of the new configuration have increased the streamlining of the body, thereby increasing the downforce acting on the car. This innovation improved the vehicle's controllability when reaching cruising speed;
• Headlight adjustment - a new form factor of lighting devices made it possible to calibrate the light beam to European standards, as a result of which the quality of lighting has increased and the likelihood of blinding oncoming traffic has decreased;
• Improved design - restyling the car's exterior consists in installing alloy chrome wheels, changing the shape of the headlights, as well as installing turn signal repeaters on the side mirrors;
• Increased functionality - the car received an upgraded audio system with the addition of additional speakers, a rear-view camera integrated into the interior mirror and new upholstery.

Toyota Corolla E150 was produced exclusively in a sedan body - this decision was made to increase car sales in the European market. Unlike the old version of the E120, the new Corolla is distinguished by its executive class design and increased dimensions, which has raised the status of the car brand as a whole.

Specifications: what's special about the car?

The Toyota Corolla E150 was produced in two versions: with an engine of 1.33 liters and 1.6 liters. The motors operate on the principle of internal combustion of fuel with atmospheric air supply and are characterized by an independent fuel injection system.
Both versions of the engine are paired with a manual 6-speed transmission, however, the 1.6 liter provided a limited model with a 4-speed automatic transmission.

The weight of the car varies from 1300 to 1450 kg, depending on the modification and packages of additional equipment. Dimensions E 150 are:

• Length - 4545 mm;
• Width - 2600 mm;
• Height - 1760 mm;
• Ground clearance - 150 mm.

Corolla 10 generation is a C-class family car, suitable for operation both within the city and on highways. The car is designed according to the NewMS front-wheel drive platform and has a semi-independent rear and independent front suspension. All brakes on the machine are disc brakes with an increased coverage area, as well as equipped with an anti-lock wheel system.

Fuel consumption is 6-9-7.2 liters per 100 kilometers in the mixed type. For the full operation of the engine, it is necessary to fill in 5W30 or 5W40 brand oil, the average consumption of technical fluid per 1000 km of run is 900 ml. The volume of oil in the engine is 5.6 liters.

Note! Toyota Corolla E150 functions stably only on high-octane fuel - the use of gasoline with a class lower than A95 is fraught with detonations and engine overheating, which leads to a decrease in the operational life of components.

Also, the design of the engines provides for the possibility of installing gas-balloon equipment of the Euro-4 format and higher, which makes it possible to reduce fuel costs without actually losing power potential.

Price in the secondary market: is it worth buying a used car?

The cost of the E150 in the secondary market in 2018 is in the region of 400-750,000 rubles, which is explained by the difference in the configuration and mileage of cars. During the purchase of a car, it is important to inspect the steering rack, as well as check the suspension and engine transmission - until the end of the operational life of the E150, there may be problems in these units.

Particular attention should be paid to the version with a 1.6 liter engine and an automatic transmission: the 10th generation of the Corolla has a lot of vulnerabilities in the automatic transmission, as a result of which it is now problematic to find a fully functioning model with an automatic transmission. The best option for purchasing would be a mechanic with a 1.3 liter engine for single trips or business, or a 1.6 engine for a family or traveling long distances.

It is important to know! When buying a car in the secondary market, it is necessary to carry out a complete diagnosis of the vehicle: check the engine, transmission, chassis and sum it up. Toyota Corolla is a "not killed" car, as a result of which it is often used by taxi drivers or courier services.
