The best-selling nameplate in the world just got better. The 2014 11th generation Toyota Corolla comes in 1.6 liter and brand new 2.0 liter engine. Most importantly, the new Corolla has increased its wheelbase by 100mm which means class leading rear legroom.
Style Changes
Compared to its predecessor, the new grille and rear bumper get a much improved style. It is much more sporty and curvy, what Toyota Chief Engineer Shinichi Yasui terms “Emotional Styling”. In addition, the SE+ and Limited versions get Daytime Running Lights, Halogen projector lamps and 16 inch alloy wheels. The height has also been lowered by 5mm to enhance stability and give a sportier look to the car.
Interior Updates
The new interior features cruise control and sunroof in the 2.0 liter Limited model. In addition, Smart Entry and Push Button Start functions will be available on 1.6 and 2.0 liter top range models. Safety has been enhanced by the use of lightweight high strength steel. All models come equipped with ABS, EBD and Brake Assist functions.

Quick Facts about Toyota Corolla:
The Toyota Corolla is a line of subcompact and compact cars manufactured by Toyota. Introduced in 1966, the Corolla managed to become the best-selling car worldwide by 1974 and has been one of the best-selling cars in the world since then. In 1997, the Corolla became the best-selling nameplate in the world, surpassing the Volkswagen Beetle. Toyota reached the milestone of 40 million Corollas sold over eleven generations in July 2013.[4] The series has undergone several major redesigns.
The name “corolla” is part of Toyota’s naming tradition of using names derived from the Toyota Crown for sedans. The Corolla has always been exclusive in Japan to Toyota Corolla Store locations, and manufactured in Japan with a twin, called the Toyota Sprinter until 2000.
Early models were mostly rear-wheel drive, while later models have been front-wheel drive based. Its traditional competitors have been the Nissan Sunny, introduced the same year as the Corolla in Japan and the later Honda Civic. The Corolla’s chassis designation code is “E”, as described in Toyota’s chassis and engine codes.
