The Corolla is a luxury sedan that combines excellence with style and performance. The advanced aerodynamic styling gives the appearance of travelling in a luxury car with the looks of a sports car. The Corolla also comes with flamboyant exterior features such as an imposing front grill, four lamp multi-reflector, powerful fog lamp, led rear lamp, grip type door handles, and concealed exhaust pipe.
This car is powered by a 1.8 litre DOHC VVT-i engine with EFI fuel distribution system that is capable of delivering a maximum output of 125 PS at 6000 rpm and a maximum torque of 16.1 kg-m at 4200 rpm. This technology offers extra smooth acceleration with enhanced fuel efficiency.
The chassis encompasses the world renowned MacPherson Strut type and the ETA beam Strut type with stabilizers. The Corolla also features tubeless radials, ventilated brakes in the front and solid disc brakes in the rear with anti locking braking and electronic brake distribution systems.
This elegant vehicle also includes a host of advanced safety features such as a high integrity cabin with crumple zones in the front and rear to absorb impact energy in the event of an accident or collision. This model also features Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) air bags for the safety of the driver and the occupants in case of an impact.
This model comes in seven variants. While the H1 H2 and H5 are 5-speed manual, the H3 and H4 offer 4-speed manual versions. The H7 is a limited edition version while the HE is an executive option.
This variant comes with four speed automatic transmission. Equipped with a 50 litre fuel tank and hydraulic type gear box, the fuel efficiency is slightly less at 7.7 kmpl in the city whereas 11.2 kmpl on the highways. However, convenience of gearless driving can compensate for the slightly lower fuel economy. Connoisseurs of this variant can enjoy the sumptuous internal and external luxury features in addition to superior safety provisions.
On the exterior, this variant additionally features a printed antenna and automatic headlamp. The interiors are well appointed with automatic air conditioning and heating, wood grain finish, and lumbar support. However the seating is high fabric. Additional features are driver seat height adjustment, 60:40 split foldable rear seat, and power windows.
I own one of the extremely comfortable and stylish Toyota Corolla since last 7 months and have been very satisfied with its performance. Its interior is as best the biggies in its segment. The positive points of Corolla is its elegant styling which really attracts everyone's view, extreme comfortable seating, lots of leg room in front and rear, efficient air conditioning with an automatic option. It has the temperature meter in the cabin that senses the temperature on its own. The 1749cc VVT-I engine gives a powerful push to the engine. The engine is silent and noiseless even when I reach at a speed of 120 kms/hr. May the suspension is something I won't be able to comment on as within four months of purchase my rear suspension started making squeaking sounds. In heavy traffic in cities like Bangalore, the auto transmission is very useful. Am ready to compromise with some cons like the above one for the fuel efficiency it gives me. Overall, I am absolutely satisfied with Corolla, you will also love it.
