This year Toyota Corolla is celebrating a milestone anniversary - 50 years! For half a century, more than 43 million cars have been produced in 11 generations - this is absolute record for one model in the entire history of the automotive industry. Notable biography, isn't it? And even in Russian Corolla is the most popular foreign car, slightly ahead of the Ford Focus - of course, including used cars. But soon Corolla may lose this honorary title. The growth in the exchange rate raised the prices for imported Corolla and brought down demand several times. But in Russian representation do not give up: if the Corolla is not among the bestsellers of the market today, and the price still remains high, then why not give it the gloss of the desired premium?

Design with a pretension
Yes, yes, it is in the USA or Japan that students and housewives ride Corollas, and for European and Russian market Toyota Corolla has a so-called "prestigious" design. And it all starts with design. Remember what Corolla looked like before the update? Hardly - the car did not have time to become familiar on our roads. But this one is easy to remember! The front end has become much more aggressive - in the style of the hydrogen-powered Toyota Mirai. With a wide air intake, a narrow upper grille and "predatory" headlights, which, by the way, are now fully LED in the two "upper" trim levels.
And at the back, there were solutions that have already been tested on the bestseller in Russia - the Toyota Camry sedan. The lanterns have changed a little, which are now covered by a thin chrome strip. By the way, Toyota is especially proud of the fact that the gaps between the body panels are only 4 mm compared to 5 mm for the main competitors of the Corolla. Recall that the sedan for our market is still produced in Turkey. And with such a sales volume - 6,137 cars last year - there is no question of localizing production.

Work on mistakes
However, we did not scold the Corolla for the design. Another thing is the interior. The architecture has not changed radically, but the interior has definitely become better - there is practically no cheap silvery plastic left, soft “stitched” material appeared on the front panel.
The Corolla also got a new climate control unit, round adjustable deflectors in Audi style, a color display in the instrument cluster and a multimedia complex with fully touch-sensitive buttons at the edges (the same as the Hilux pickup truck). And on driver's door proudly flaunts the inscription All Auto - all four automatic power windows. We waited! Finally, the famous liquid crystal clock moved lower - to the place where the indication was lit with a yellow spot warning that the airbag was turned off for installation child seat to the front seat.
True, it was not without drawbacks. The already mentioned touch control of the Toyota Touch 2 system is inconvenient if you need to quickly change the volume of the music, and fingerprints remain on the glossy glass panel. The reach of the steering column is still insufficient, and the seats are upholstered in synthetic fabric, which makes it hot in sunny weather. The Corolla has a steering wheel heating, but the heating of the rear sofa is still not available, although competitors offer similar equipment: for example, Hyundai Elantra and Skoda Octavia. In addition, the Prestige package returned to the range with front and rear parking sensors, which are now more aesthetically pleasing, flush with bumpers, and comfortable access. And the Japanese have finally updated the keys - now it’s not a shame to get them out of your pocket (the former ones looked like key rings from cheap alarms).
Faster? Stronger? Quiet!
The range of power units offered for the Corolla has not changed. The starting modification is a 99-horsepower 1.3 with a six-speed mechanics, but we were only able to test versions with Multidrive S CVTs, the same ones that Corolla was equipped with before the update. By the way, as Toyota representatives found out by interviewing focus groups, many potential buyers run away from this box like fire. Why? They confuse it with the old MultiMode robot, which was installed at the dawn of the production of the previous generation.
Again, we are pleased to note that toyotovsky variator is very good! Moreover, both in traffic jams, which the resort Anapa abounds in (Moscow never dreamed of such traffic jams!), And on the highway - no jerks and delays. In addition, Toyota claims that these CVTs have practically no failures, although the pre-reform sedan presented for comparison with a mileage of under 30 thousand kilometers was already quietly “howling” with the transmission.
With a CVT, two gasoline aspirated are available - with a volume of 1.6 (122 hp) and 1.8 (140 hp) liters. And we definitely vote for a more powerful option! Formally, the difference between them is small - some 18 “horses”, 19 N∙m of torque and 0.9 seconds of acceleration to hundreds. But in fact, driving a Corolla 1.8 is much more pleasant - it’s easier to overtake on country roads, and to sink the pedal to the floor and listen to the desperate roar of the engine on high revs need less. Therefore, 1.8 “eats” no more than 1.6 - the average consumption, taking into account traffic jams, was 8.2 l / 100 km. Moreover, 1.8, according to representatives of Toyota, can be “fed” with AI-92 gasoline. Good bonus!
An error occurred during the download.For rear passengers, the Toyota Corolla offers a comfortable sofa and plenty of legroom. But there are no ventilation system deflectors or heating
So Corolla did not become faster, but became quieter. And not only with the 1.8 engine. The soundproofing of the front arches, door panels and engine shield has been improved - it has been brought up to the level of modern classmates. This is especially noticeable on a dirt road - in the updated Corolla, the drumming of stones is muffled. And only rough asphalt makes 16-inch tires “sing” louder than usual.
By the way, you can still drive a Corolla on a primer and bad asphalt without slowing down - at the same time, it is much more comfortable in it than in the RAV4 crossover! The spring and damper characteristics have been changed to reduce wave bounce when fully loaded, but because of this, the Corolla is now harder to hit bumps with sharp edges (read - joints of overpasses and cut asphalt, rails and hatches). final touch- reconfigured steering with a slightly more "clamped" zero position. It has become better - the driver has more feedback.
What will happen to demand?
Most likely, a radical jump in Corolla sales will not happen. Judge for yourself - cheaper than a million rubles (949 thousand) is only the initial version with mechanics and engine 1.3. The most affordable Corolla 1.6 with a CVT is already 1,059,000 rubles.
Do you want climate control? If you please, fork out for the Style Plus package - this is 1,208,000 rubles for a sedan with 1.6 and mechanics, 1,245,000 rubles for 1.6 with a CVT, and for the 1.8 engine you will have to pay another 32 thousand rubles. Finally, the top performance Prestige costs 1,295,000 rubles for a Corolla 1.6 and 1,327,000 for 1.8. And this is more expensive than the ones we recently tested. And very close to the Camry! But, if you still decide to link your fate with the Corolla, you should know - now she is in best form, than ever. It is a pity that the 50th anniversary in Russia will hardly be celebrated with record sales.

Over the past few decades, Toyota has taught everyone to think that they make perhaps the most reliable cars and collect dividends on this. Many companies go to great lengths to convince people to buy their cars. Some fight for the client with a bright design, others with excellent driving or other qualities, and others offer favorable prices. Buyers don't have to be invited twice to the Corolla. And this story continues year after year.
Moreover, Toyota sells, in fact, the same model on different continents. The only difference is that in Europe the hatchback is traditionally more in demand, which bears the name Auris, and in America, China, Australia and Africa - a sedan. And they manage to please all tastes.
Russia is no exception. The former leaders of the golf class - Focus, Cruze, Astra - are now falling from the pedestal of popularity, like ripe apples from a tree. And sales of the Corolla, if they decrease, then, as they say, within the margin of error. Stable demand of 2-2.5 thousand pieces per month is provided.
It is gratifying that the attitude towards the buyer is changing for the better. If before only Corolla with automatic transmission could boast of a decent level of safety and equipment, now additional airbags, climate control, and other “utilities” are also available with “mechanics”. The range of engines has become wider, and whole line important options can be ordered at a fixed price.
True, unlike many dealers European brands, Toyota sellers are in no hurry to scatter discounts today. Usually it is possible to negotiate a discount on maintenance or some little things from accessories, nothing more.
Which choice?
Outside and inside
Angled bumpers, sharp cuts wheel arches, pointed door stampings - the current Toyota is immediately remembered and tries to seem angrier than it really is. Do many people like a new style? Is not a fact. Undoubtedly, the Corolla appears to be a slightly smaller Camry.
However, if Toyota business class looks at least harmonious, then the Corolla does not succeed in everything. The deliberate, largely far-fetched sportiness of the family car is clearly useless. Why, for example, was it necessary to pull up the window sill line in the stern so sharply? However, the new design can also be classified as a kind of crazy, dash, from which one step to charisma. Persons endowed with it often enter history.
Of the objective shortcomings, I note the lack of protective moldings on the doors. If, out of habit, to open the door wide "about a neighbor", the presentation will be quickly lost. Covers for both doors and bumpers in the accessories department are a hot item.
Before evaluating the results of the work of the linkers, let's walk around the machine. The coloring is of high quality, the gaps are even, rubber and plastic seals are not skewed anywhere. For the third generation Corolla comes to us from the Turkish Toyota plant. In terms of quality and quality factor, you can’t fault the assembly.
And it's comfortable to get in the car. The rather high ceiling doesn't make you writhe like a snake, and the seats in both rows are not as low as in many cars that claim to be sporty. You just sit on them, but do not fall. This is very convenient, especially during shopping trips, when you often have to get in and out of the car. True, the sofa cushion is flat. On a long journey with this, it happens that you slip.
But in terms of space, Corolla stood on a par with the most capacious classmates - Fluence, C4 and 408. A person with a height of 190 cm is freely placed behind himself. Here it is - the advantage of a long base and enough high saloon. And the sofa will not be too crowded even for three adult passengers. This is another definite plus in times of crisis. After all, the Corolla is still often bought as the only car in the family.
However, in a golf class in the back, it is still better to ride together. Then the armrest would not interfere. It is a pity that it is only available starting with the expensive Comfort version. The same applies to the additional socket for rear passengers. Among other shortcomings, which, alas, cannot be eliminated on any version, it should be noted the absence of air duct deflectors for the second row, the only coat hook in the cabin and only one pocket on the back of the front seat.
But after almost half a century, the Japanese finally provided the cover of the hold with a button, which helps to open it from the outside. The same can be done from the key fob or by pulling the lever in the cabin. And when you close the lid, now you won’t get your hands dirty - the engineers fixed it on the upholstery inner handle. The trunk itself is not small, but not huge either - 452 liters, a full-size spare tire rests in the basement, and on the right wall there is a hook for attaching small luggage. It's a pity, the Japanese are still saving on the upholstery of the ceiling.
What well
Enough legroom
Almost flat floor in the second row
Signature LED headlights
Protection of the engine compartment from dirt
Keyless boot lid lock
What is wrong
The ceiling of the trunk, devoid of trim
No security curtains in the optimal version
Lack of deflectors for the second row of seats
flat sofa cushion
Crescent-shaped trunk loops that crumple luggage
Behind the wheel
If you take the specifics of a high seating position for granted, you will surely enjoy driving. Thanks to the grip of the steering wheel and wide ranges of seat adjustment. In the manual gearbox, the gears are clearly included, the efforts on the pedals are well calibrated. The picture of the ideal organization of the workplace is somewhat spoiled by the small range of adjustment of the steering column in length. Those whose height exceeds 185 cm will have to sit down, as they say, “on the steering wheel”, and not “on the pedals”. However, these are all little things that you quickly get used to.
Moreover, the ergonomics of the secondary controls are worked out almost perfectly. All buttons and controls are located in the usual places and work logically. Only if you find fault, you can see that completely auto mode there is only one power window, on a car with air conditioning, the efforts on the intensity and distribution adjustment knobs are too big air currents, and the simplest cabin filter does not protect very effectively from the ingress of polluted air.
Note that, depending on the configuration, the Corolla now has two different dashboards. The first five versions involve the central location of the speedometer and a small screen inscribed in its circumference. on-board computer. Despite its modest size, the latter is quite visual. In the top configuration, a large screen with blue backlight is located in the center, and the instruments are arranged according to the Volkswagen principle, which implies the equality of the speedometer and tachometer.
In general, there are no complaints about any dashboard. Unless in those cars where the on-board computer display is larger, the driver receives more service information in Russian. A trifle, but nice.
Visibility ... On the one hand, a fairly high seating position and good side mirrors allow you to feel confident in the stream. However, wide A-pillars and even more massive C-pillars cover significant corner sectors, and the rear window is partially blocked by head restraints. In the Corolla, as in most modern sedans, the edge of the stern is not visible. So parking sensors in the crowded city will not hurt. The rear view camera on the expensive Style Plus version solves the problem only partially - in bad weather it gets dirty too quickly.
In terms of safety, Corolla managed to become an excellent student. In EuroNCAP tests, the car scored 34 points and earned an "excellent" rating. Of the shortcomings, experts noted only a slight excess of seat belt pressure on the chest during a frontal impact. True, it should be borne in mind that in our market in optimal version no ESP and no air curtains.
What well
Accurate operation of the manual gearbox and verified travel of the clutch pedal
Error-free CVT mode selection mechanism
Visual "Russian-speaking" on-board computer
Easy management of all service functions
What is wrong
Small steering range for reach
Poorly adjusted efforts on the handles of the air conditioner
Lack of seat cushion adjustment
Only one fully automatic power window
Dirt-resistant rear view camera
Headrests obstructing rear view
On the roads and without them
On the move, the Corolla immediately appears as a car that gives a feeling of reliability and tranquility. It responds adequately to all control actions (perhaps, only the brake pedal is not informative enough) and pleases with high driving comfort. The suspension, which is somewhat harsh at “yard” speeds, becomes pleasantly elastic as the speedometer needle deviates from zero, allowing neither laxity on the waves, nor hard blows on bumps. Once, only during the rebound, the front shock absorbers hit the limiter. True, I “yawned” a pothole with a fist deep ... The car is generally perceived as quieter than other middle-class sedans. Wind noise around the mirrors and A-pillars is clearly distinguishable only after 140, and the rumble from the wheels annoys only on rough pavement.
After driving such a correct, almost reference car, it will be difficult for a novice driver to adapt to another car that has its own temper. In the "Corolla" you can just sit down and go. If you slowly, like in a textbook, release the clutch while adding gas, then you will smoothly move from a place, without the slightest jerk. If you press the right pedal sharper, and practically drop the clutch, the front wheels will slip into slip. For a quicker shifting, it would be nice if the manual gearbox moves were shorter. True, at the lowest speeds in a sluggish jam, the Corolla twitches slightly when releasing or adding gas in modes close to idling. But this is typical of many cars and is associated with the desire to meet environmental standards.
The optimal 1.6 engine seems rather weak at first. However, this does not mean at all that he is an amoeba. If you press down on the pedal, the engine will immediately release its claws. After 3000 rpm, he picks up quite provocatively, and closer to the red zone, many will surely please with temperament. It is not surprising. The motor is tuned in such a way that it reaches maximum torque at 5200 rpm.
Separately, it is worth noting the nature of cars with a CVT. Corolla is able to smoothly gain momentum and completely imperceptibly change the gear ratio. And you need to start faster and accelerate more vigorously, the electronics will immediately show a very responsive, almost without delay work. All you need to do is press the gas pedal. The motor will rev up militantly to the limiter, and the car will easily leave trailers behind. "CVT" Corolla up to 110-120 km / h is perceived even faster than the "mechanical". Although passport measurements indicate the opposite - the loss in spurt up to a hundred is 0.6 s. Fly in the ointment - high fuel consumption for a 1.6-liter engine (in the city it approaches 10 liters) and the monotonous noise of the 1.6 CVT engine during sharp acceleration.
Top 1.8 in 140 hp in the same modes it turns out to be almost a liter more economical. It is even faster and at the same time quietly gaining momentum, for a brisk movement in space, the motor less often needs to work near the red zone. And the pedal as quickly follows! The connection seems absolutely rigid. Oh, if not for the overpayment of 30,000 rubles!
And the handling is pretty good too. Of course, not as polished as that of the Golf or Mazda 3, but it allows you to be smart in corners - there will be no sharp breakdowns. It seems that, contrary to modern traditions, the Japanese did not stint on fine-tuning the versions without ESP.
What well
Smooth, confident motor thrust
CVT sport mode
Decent soundproofing for a golf class
What is wrong
Lack of ESP in the optimal version
Small (10,000 km) service interval
The need to pay extra for wheel mudguards
Lack of steel and brittleness of regular plastic engine protection
Outcome
Belief in the reliability of the Corolla is not based on an empty place, but it does not come cheap either. You are guaranteed to get a very correct, perfectly balanced car in all respects, without obvious flaws. Like the work of a really good manager, her services are expensive. You will have to pay more than your competitors. True, like real estate and precious metals, it seems that it is customary to buy a highly liquid Toyota from us even for a rainy day. So the owner has the right to count on modest losses during resale.
Legends are born in different ways. Someone relies on the exceptional appearance of the car, speed and exorbitant prices, while someone is given boring correctness. A review of the previous generation Toyota Corolla could be reduced to a discussion of the level of sales at which the Japanese car beats all possible records and annually updates its own entries in the Guinness book. However recent generations Corolla clearly stand out from the company's rather conservative lineup.
Corolla 2013
It seems that not so long ago Corolla celebrated its 40th anniversary, and a significant date of half a century is already approaching, and it is obvious that the Japanese are preparing for this date. There are only a few cars in the world that have successfully survived such a respectable age. However, the 1966 car has little to do with the eleventh generation.
In the tenth generation, a hatchback detached from the Corolla, which eventually received its own name - Toyota Auris. Corolla remained only in the sedan version, but with engines unique for those times. Designed with clean slate the variable valve timing system (VVT-i) made it possible to achieve a smooth ride, significantly increased the convenience of driving a car and engine reliability. In a modified form, the system is also installed on the engine of the latest production car.
Toyota Corolla 2014
History lesson
Since the eighth generation (1997), Toyota has followed the principle of "each market has its own car." Every part of the world has its own Corolla, and the 11th generation, whose sales started at the end of 2012, is no exception. In Japan itself, the Corolla Fielder station wagon and the Corolla Axio sedan appeared much earlier than Europe, where the presentation of the cars took place only in June 2013. In Russia, sales began in August 2013, and in the United States, by this time, the assembly of cars had just begun.
However, the 11th generation of the famous cars was first presented at the North American Auto Show. From Toyota marketers, the car received a telling name - Corolla Furia. Contrary to the prophecies of skeptics, the bold design of the car (by Toyota standards) and the noticeably refreshed interior really became the basis for the appearance of the E160 (11th generation Corolla serial number).
On the video - test drive Toyota Corolla 2014:
The assembly of machines for Russia is based in Turkey, at the Sakarya plant. The “domestic” Corolla is distinguished by increased ground clearance (15 cm), heated wipers and the presence of a glass washer fluid sensor. Otherwise, an ordinary, European Toyota Corolla travels on our roads.
Appearance Toyota Corolla
The image of the new Corolla is built on solidity and solidity, although the streamlining of the body has become more noticeable. there are practically no sharp corners left of new cars, but lighting elements make up for this moment. The headlights are a little narrower and sharper. Toyota body now looks bolder and even a little aggressive. Such a feeling is created by the general elongation of the cars, achieved through the same streamlined, swift forms.
The Toyota Corolla radiator consists of two chrome-plated grilles converging at an obtuse angle in the center of the hood on Toyota badge. Shiny chrome and aggressive bevels, slightly softened by the top bar, catch the eye from afar. It seems that the car is smiling a predatory shark smile.
Interestingly, part of the radiator is integrated into the headlights. extreme, running lights are powerful LED bulbs. The glass of the headlights is extended a little back, which creates a feeling of stretching the car in space, speed. Looks nice, but owner reviews say that from Russian roads headlight glass may be damaged. Corolla is embossed, but it is quite difficult to notice.
The connection with previous models is not lost: in the guise of a sedan, the corporate style of Toyota continues. Auris and RAV4 traits show through the sedan's sporty lines. However, the dimensions of the new Corolla have grown, and it is impossible not to notice this difference. The 2013 version is 8 cm longer than its predecessor, 1.5 cm wider and half a centimeter lower (except for cars for Russia).
Interior Corolla 2014
Design
The aggressive kink of the radiator hints at changes in the cabin, but the interior of the Corolla has not acquired fundamental novelties. The center console, redesigned to meet the needs of consumers of the 21st century, attracts attention. Not only the color scheme has been changed, but also the general style of execution.
There is no big difference between the configurations. There is no special decoration in the car. Interior elements are arranged with each other in such a way that it is impossible to single out one of them. Except excellent quality performance, there is absolutely nothing to look at in the cabin. Everything is done simply and conveniently, but so as not to be an eyesore.
The only element of the interior of the car that you can stop looking at is the clock on the dashboard. If from the outside the grille penetrates the headlights, then the clock is integrated into the interior ventilation grille. This is explained by the dissatisfaction of the passengers of the previous Corolla, who did not see the watch with rear seat. Now even passers-by from the sidewalk can see this clock.
The digital watch panel is a clear tribute to the past century, but the rest of the instruments and the standard multimedia system of the car correspond to the realities of today. A color sensor with a diagonal of 6.1 inches quite correctly displays the picture from the rear view camera, gives information about traffic jams and everything that the car's equipment allows it to do.
Space
An additional 8 cm of length is 90% used in the middle part of the Corolla body. The passengers in the rear row have become more comfortable, since now the distance to the front seats is 75 mm more. The threshold of the rear doors, which previously took up a lot of space, has been removed. In such a salon, five people can no longer be nominally accommodated, as before, but with some comfort.
Given the increased row spacing, it's surprising at first that the car's trunk has also become larger. Now its volume is 452 liters. The rear row folds down to make room for "non-standard" dimensions. Spare wheel Toyota Corolla is hidden in a niche under the trunk.
The plastic in the cabin is quite loud and hard in places. Not enough leather for the whole car. Matter is found even in the top configuration: only the edges of the seats are covered with leather. At the same time, the Japanese did not stint on the steering wheel of the car. With or without leather, the number of adjustments (both in height and stem) allow you to enjoy both a short test drive and a long drive.
The feeling of simplicity and workmanship is enhanced by excellent sound insulation. The signature feature of the car - a smooth ride - is complemented by a sound carpet that absorbs the lion's share of sounds from outside. In this component, the 2014 Corolla has a serious advantage over other C-class representatives. The Corolla is not up to the premium class, but it is easy and pleasant to be deceived in this.

Power units are still designed for the middle class. When developing engines, the focus is on economy and convenience from driving within the city. Three gasoline engines are installed on 7 trim levels, but since each of them works with different configuration, then the acceleration on them is slightly different.
- 1.3 liters- 99 hp engine with., available only in the configuration "Standard".
- 1.6 liters- 122 l. With. In the main variants (transmission with a variator and front-wheel drive). 1.6 l. Accelerates the car to hundreds in 11.1 seconds, maximum - 185 km / h. For the option with manual transmission declared acceleration in 10.5 seconds, and maximum limit engine speed - 195 km / h.
- 1.8 liters- 140 l. With. The 1.8-liter engine is installed only on variants with CVT, so acceleration is the same for all trim levels - 10.2 seconds, top speed - 195 km / h.
Electronics allows you to switch the operation of the transmission and engine at the touch of a button. By selecting the "Sport" option, the driver should get a roaring car and rapid acceleration. In the standard mode, jerks and noise are practically eliminated. The main engine is considered "1.6" (157 Nm). The very first test drive showed that the torque does not leave “1.6” the possibility of dynamic acceleration, so it will not be possible to perform dashing overtaking on the “Comfort” configuration. However, the engine pulls, and this thrust is distributed relatively evenly.
New Corolla engines are equipped with a system Dual VVT-i, which is a further development of the idea of adjusting the intake and exhaust valves. In order to achieve maximum traction from this engine, the driver will have to switch to manual control (separate CVT mode) and try to move the tachometer needle closer to the maximum values.
Options for Toyota Corolla, other than the base one, include a vehicle slip control system (TRAC), a set of tools and programs for emergency braking assistance, automatic brake force distribution and, of course, ABS.
Options and price Corolla
The price of Toyota Corolla in 2014 has already been determined by dealers. In general, the car remains in the same segment of affordable and reliable cars. In the basic configuration, there are only really necessary elements, but this has almost no effect on safety: the driver and passengers are protected by seven airbags. Electronic control Stability helps when driving. The wheels are steel, there is no air conditioning in the car, but cruise control is included in the price. It costs "Standard" 660,000 rubles.
By paying extra to upgrade to the next level, the buyer gets LED daytime running lights, chrome grille, HID headlights, folding side mirrors, engine start and keyless entry systems, climate control and gear shifting through the levers on the steering wheel of the car. Heating is available only for the front seats. The price of Toyota Corolla in this category ranges from 700 to 930 thousand rubles. 1.6 with manual transmission is installed only in the "Classic" configuration.
The most expensive Toyota Corolla trim levels - Prestige and Prestige Plus - will cost you 1.1 million rubles. Xenon headlights, keyless entry to the salon, full climate control, light alloy wheels on car wheels (17 inches), roof rails.
Pros:
- high crash test scores with 40% overlap;
- smooth operation of the new automatic transmission during normal, measured driving;
- maneuverability and cornering stability;
- fast execution warranty obligations in official services;
- excellent ratio of reliability and price;
- fuel consumption - 10 liters or less, economical operation;
- most of the cabin has excellent sound insulation.
Minuses:
- weak paintwork;
- failure in IIHS front impact crash tests with 25% overlap;
- missing sound insulation of wheel arches;
- twitchy operation of the automatic transmission during acceleration.
Toyota is always striving to improve and update its vehicles. So one of them, Toyota Corolla 2017, has been restyled and, despite the year of manufacture, is already available at the company's dealerships.
Review content:
Those who have often encountered the Toyota Corolla sedan will immediately say that quite a few changes have taken place in terms of the exterior. In addition to the exterior, some details have changed inside and under the hood, but the latter is more about trifles than something whole or noticeable.
The exterior of the updated Corolla sedan
About the Toyota Corolla sedan itself, we can say that in general the car is not bad and combines well the balance of price, functions and build quality. Let's say right away that European and American restyled version quite well differ, but we will consider the European version. First of all, this is the front of the car. Comparing the updated Toyota Corolla 2017 and the previous model of this sedan, there are still differences. The radiator grille has changed its shape, now instead of two partitions (stripes) in the updated Corolla there is only one. The upper part is decorated, as before, with a chrome strip, the same was in previous model, it stretches around the entire perimeter of the radiator grille and front optics. In the center of the radiator grille, as before, placed company logo Toyota.
The front optics of the Toyota Corolla itself has changed its shape, from a higher one, it has become narrow, and instead of halogen bulbs, now everything is done on LED technology. At the bottom of the optics, engineers have placed daytime running lights that can not only glow, but also change brightness and blink different lines depending on the selected mode. Either smoothly with a wave, or with a New Year's garland, or even wink. The result of changing the optics of Toyota Corolla, pulled a change in the shape of the front bumper.
Under the optics, characteristic recesses appeared with a repetition of its shapes, and washers for optics are also located here. On the sides are now notches in the form of fangs, somewhat reminiscent of the Toyota Camry. The entire lower part of the bumper is large lattice divided into three parts. The central one, as it should be, serves for additional airflow of the engine, fog lights are located in the side parts. In the previous model, the lower grille was only in the central part, there was simply no side grille.
Side part Toyota sedan Corolla 2017 remains the same as it was. A strict line in the upper part stretches from the front wing to rear optics. Up to the side mirrors and inserts under them, nothing has changed. The glass of the rear door is divided into two halves, the second is raised and remained.
In addition to the front end, restyling has passed and rear end Corolla sedan, but not on such a scale. Instead of the usual bulb-based rear stops, the optics are now LED. As before restyling, part of the optics was placed on the body, and the other part on the trunk lid. On the trunk lid of the Toyota Corolla, the optics are divided by a narrow chrome insert. In the center, on the dividing strip, is the emblem of Toyota. Forms rear bumper remained the same and almost do not say that the new Corolla has been restyled, although the lines have become more strict and pronounced. The lower part of the bumper is decorated with rear fog lights.

Salon of the updated sedan Toyota Corolla 2017
Salon restyled model Toyota Corolla 2017 passed minimal changes but for the most part remained the same. It is for its simplicity and convenient location of the functionality that many buyers preferred this model. For the most part, the front panel remained the same in terms of instrument layout.
The central part of the Toyota Corolla is occupied by a tablet-format multimedia system with a 7" touch screen. Why is it called so, because instead of bulky handles and buttons, the designers installed touch buttons. Above the display, there were two holes for air supply with regulators between them. To the right of them in the previous The Toyota Corolla used to have a clock, but now it has been placed a little lower, to the right of the display, along with seating sensors and an information menu regarding the activation of airbags.
To the left of the display is located, in its upper part there is a round emergency parking button, previously it was rectangular in the lower part of the display. The Start/Stop button of the engine is also located nearby, the designers decided to leave it unchanged, adding a backlight. The control panel is placed under the display. dual zone climate control, in the previous Toyota Corolla there was no talk of this, a simple version of climate control or air conditioning in general as standard.
If we compare this block of the central panel with the previous Toyota Corolla, then in the new model it is raised, and underlined with chrome trim on top and bottom. Gone is the straight line that used to run under the display and divide the panel into top and bottom sections. On the sides of the panel, round air supply holes will be quite noticeable, why the designers decided to replace them with just such forms is not known for certain. Many buyers say they would have preferred the old Corolla air ducts, which were rectangular.
Falling below the climate control, there is a hidden compartment, this is a closed ashtray, and recharging for gadgets from a regular 12V cigarette lighter or USB port. It is with the help of this USB port that you can connect back to the multimedia Toyota system Corolla.
A little lower is the gear lever and a mechanical handbrake, two cup holders and buttons for turning on heated seats and controlling some car functions. Nearby, between the seats, there is an armrest with a small roomy compartment for storing small items. I would like to note that many drivers who bought an updated Toyota Corolla talk about flimsy plastic fasteners from the gearshift lever to the armrest, and for the most part this is true. It wiggles easily and can occasionally squeak on rough roads.
Next on the list we go to inspect the instrument panel updated Toyota Corolla. In general, she remained as before. In the central part is located 4.2 "color information display. On the right is a speedometer with an analog fuel level indicator, on the left is a tachometer with engine temperature sensors. There is nothing more special than the instrument panel does not stand out, that in fact there is nothing more and is not necessary. The steering wheel can be said almost one to one moved from the previous Toyota Corolla. On the lower spoke, instead of a solid chrome insert, they made two stripes and a black insert in the middle. On the top two spokes one to one multimedia buttons are placed.
Regarding the interior upholstery of the Toyota Corolla, the manufacturer gave the buyer a minimum choice, it will be fabric black or beige colour. There is no mention of skin. Although they say custom order but not at low cost. Toyota interior Corolla you can still sheathe very inexpensive leather.
As for the interior of the restyled Toyota Corolla, we can say that the comfort has remained almost the same as before, the convenient location of the instruments and only the most necessary will draw demand for this sedan.
