The 2024 "Toyota Corolla" was unveiled, with a wide-body surround + four-wheel drive system as standard
The news about the new generation of "Toyota Corolla" has actually begun to emerge in 2023, and unfortunately there has been no substantial progress, but judging from the renders presented, the new car is likely to surprise us in terms of design style, so will there really be a surprise? The answer may not be, because from the recent overseas netizens exposed a set of real car pictures of the 2024 "Toyota Corolla" hybrid version, this car will not only not bring surprises, but will be a little disappointed.
From a distance, the car does come out of the factory with a sports surround, but it can't hide its mediocre philosophy, and the whole body is more like a widened version of the Toyota Leiling, I don't know if you feel this way. On the front, the jewel blue paint and the black mesh mesh create a sense of loneliness. And whether it is compared with the domestic Corolla or Leiling, the design of the front of the car is very simple, the lightning light source on both sides has also increased the arc design for the first time, and the blue Toyota horn logo can also be regarded as showing its hybrid identity. The shape of the trapezoidal mesh extending to both sides is just running through the ears, and it feels like an Asian dragon from this element alone.
Unlike the front, the sides of the new car are relatively flat, and they are the only ones that retain the original Corolla design. However, it is different from the domestic version, because the new car adopts a wide-body surround, which is far superior to the domestic version in terms of sportiness. Moreover, the new car is also equipped with twin five-spoke wheels in titanium gray, which further enhances the visual impact. Compared to the front of the car, the shape of the rear of the car has become more towering, and it is precisely because of this, the taillights on both sides appear petite, and the side of the rear surround is a single-sided double-out exhaust, which can be regarded as an embellishment effect for the new car.
Compared with the appearance, the interior is too simple, almost no different from the domestic version, except that the flagship model will be equipped with a 12.3-inch LCD instrument cluster and a 10.5-inch floating central control screen, the other series of the overseas version also retain the traditional mechanical instruments, fortunately, the configuration has added the Toyota TSS intelligent safety system. The seat of the new Corolla can be called a highlight, we can see from the picture below, the whole seat is completely ergonomically designed, even if it is not wrapped in leather, but the whole visual effect is still good! Of course, as for what changes can be made in the future after domestic production, this can only be known after the official announcement.
As for the powertrain, Xiaohua has already explained at the beginning of the article, the new car will be equipped with a 1.8L dual-engine engine as standard, of which it has a maximum horsepower of 140 horsepower, and the transmission is matched with an e-CVT. It is worth mentioning that the new car also offers an eAWD all-wheel drive system. It can also be regarded as strengthening its athletic attributes. All in all, this car is a mid-life facelift at best, but the matching wide-body surround still adds a highlight, so I don't know what you guys think of this car!
