2019 Toyota Corolla sedan exterior

The first photos of the new Toyota Corolla sedan were put in a corner by experts, two completely different cars in the front and completely identical inside. Initially, there were thoughts that these are different models, since Toyota has ceased to produce different bodies for different continents. Nevertheless, as it turned out later, the manufacturer returned to the old traditions, creating two different exterior designs for the new generation Toyota Corolla.

In particular, the differences fell on the front of the sedan; for the US and Japanese markets, the new Toyota Corolla sedan is more reminiscent of the previously presented hatchback and station wagon, with the same sharp optics and a huge radiator grill. In this design, the car will be released in the Japanese market under the name Levin.

For the market of Russia, Europe and other countries, designers have developed a different design of the front end. More austere optics and a stern bumper reminiscent of the latest generation Toyota Camry. It is worth noting that this design will also be sold in Japan under the brand name of the Corolla model.

First, consider American sedan Toyota Corolla. As already mentioned, it resembles a hatchback and a hybrid station wagon, in particular, the front LED optics received protrusions in the lower part and are more tightened towards the center of the car. Starting with the basic configuration, the new Toyota Corolla sedan will receive adaptive LED optics, and the main, central part will be occupied by a pseudo-grille. The main grille is located on the bumper and actually occupies 80% of the entire bumper.

Regardless of the configuration of the American Toyota Corolla sedan, the grille will only be black with a mesh insert. As an addition to the sides of the bumper, the designers added small inserts and LED fog lights, as for the daytime running lights, they are built into the front optics. Similar to the front design of the Toyota Corolla 2019, the designers finalized the hood, making it austere, with two directional lines, but decided to leave the windshield the same for both versions of the sedan. According to the manufacturer, according to the standard, partial heating is added in the area of ​​the wipers, optional or top configurations will receive hollow glass heating.

Second design option the front end of the Toyota Corolla sedan is more conservative. Severe optics, refined radiator grille and a different design of the front bumper. The manufacturer promised that starting from the basic configuration, the front optics of the Corolla sedan will be LED, but only the start of sales will show reality. The grille of the sedan for Russia is made in the Camry style, small, with an emblem in the center and two chrome lines directed along the sides.

Bumper such The Toyota Corolla sedan is also different, the central part is occupied by a large additional radiator grille with horizontal plastic strips or a mesh insert (depending on the configuration). The designers also embellished the side part of the bumper with L-shaped chrome inserts and a pair of round LED fog lights.

In accordance with a different design of the Toyota Corolla, it changed its shape and the hood of the sedan. Two additional bends appeared in the center, a couple of bends on the sides of the hood from the optics to the A-pillars. The windshield remains the same, unchanged and with the same feature set.

Such two variants of Toyota Corolla minimum will differ from the side... The main two differences are the front fenders, more precisely the notch for the optics, as well as the presence of a black edging around the glasses for the American version and chrome for the European model. Otherwise, the design of the side of the Toyota Corolla sedan is the same. A curved line extends from the front fender to the rear stops, another stamping added at the bottom of the doors.

The designers of the Toyota Corolla sedan did not deviate from accepted modern standards by placing the side mirrors on the door panel. Both versions of the sedan, starting from the basic configuration, will receive an electric adjustment drive and LED repeaters of turns, in addition, you can install heating, automatic folding and memory for two settings modes.

The body color of the new Toyota Corolla 2019 sedan has been updated in this way, 8 shades will be available to the buyer:

• beige;
• snow white;
• silver;
• the black;
• red;
• blue;
• blue;
• dark grey.

The basis for the Toyota Corolla sedan is 16 ″ steel or light-alloy wheels as standard; optionally, they offer to install light-alloy wheels on 17 ″ and 18 ″. Larger wheels simply won't be due to the wheel arches.

At the back, the new 2019 Toyota Corolla sedan differs significantly from its predecessors, including the hatchback and station wagon. The rear of the new sedan also resembles the latest generation Camry in many design details. The designers added wide LED feet, placing more on the body and less on the boot lid. The European version of the sedan has got chrome inserts and a corresponding recess for the license plates. In accordance with the norms and standards, the rear of the American sedan, a recess for a square license plate and a black insert between the feet are made.

The same different design was given to the rear bumper for the American and European variants of the car. The American version of the Toyota Corolla looks sportier. L-shaped notches with built-in LED fog lights have been added to the sides. The center rear is embellished with a massive mesh insert and a small diffuser. As for the European version of the Toyota Corolla sedan, the rear bumper is strict, without a diffuser, but with a small, thin mesh insert across the entire width. At the same time, the rear LED fog lights are located horizontally and stand out well against the general background of the bumper.

The roof of the new Toyota Corolla 2019 sedan in the full sense of the word depends on the configuration and the wishes of the buyer. Initially, the basic configuration is offered with a solid roof and an antenna in the form of a shark fin in the back, optionally or in more expensive trim levels, you can add an electric sunroof, but the top modifications will delight you with a panoramic roof with a sliding front part.

Looking at the exterior of the new 2019 Toyota Corolla sedan, you immediately realize that the company has again returned to the principle of different designs for different continents. In addition to the different designs, the manufacturer said that in Russia the new hatchback and station wagon will not go on sale, and only the sedan will be available to the buyer. Overall, the design of the new generation of the Toyota Corolla sedan looks modern with a hint of luxury.

Interior of the sedan Toyota Corolla 2019-2020

In contrast to the varied appearance, the interior of the new 2019 Toyota Corolla sedan looks the same.Comparing the design of the previous generation and the new one, the differences can be noticed at first glance. As it should be for modern cars, designers have minimized the number of control buttons and various movable elements, displaying them on the 8 ″ touchscreen multimedia display. The basis for multimedia were two systems Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, while the latter system can be paid, unlike the first.

The main display is designed as a tablet, although it cannot be folded. Immediately below the display, the designers placed a pair of small air ducts and an emergency parking button, moving downward, and added a dual-zone climate control panel with a small monochrome display. The center console of the Toyota Corolla ends with a small recess for storing small items and a set of chargers, including a wireless one for top versions of the sedan.

The minimum changes were made to the central tunnel of the Toyota Corolla, the designers rather domesticated it, and so there are still a couple of cup holders, a mechanical handbrake and a small armrest. On the reverse side, the armrest is equipped with two air ducts, a 12V socket and a USB port for recharging. It would seem that it looks simple, but such a minimal set is the modern style of the interior of new cars. The interior of the Toyota Corolla 2019 sedan attracts no less attention. In comparison with the previous generation, front seats got their anatomy, massive back, high headrests and a good fit. The seats can be adjusted mechanically or electrically; moreover, starting from the basic configuration, the first row of sedan seats will be equipped with heating.

Second row in any configuration, Toyota Corolla will be able to accommodate 3 passengers, while there is enough space even for a passenger of large build. The proportion of folding the seats is 60/40, although the top versions promise to be equipped with a proportion of 40/20/40. Most of all, you pay attention to the very upholstery of the seats of the Toyota Corolla 2019, this time the designers made it more modern.

The material can be high-quality fabric, leather, or a combination of both. What the interior colors of Toyota Corolla will be is still unknown, except that from the presented models one can judge about black, gray, as well as combined black and white colors. The beige and brown shade of the Toyota Corolla interior is not excluded.

The last thing to consider in the interior of the new 2019 Toyota Corolla sedan is the driver's seat. In comparison with the previous generation, the instrument panel has changed significantly in design, the basic configurations received a pair of analog instruments and a 4.2 ″ color display in the center. Expensive trim levels Toyota Corolla will receive a fully digital instrument panel based on a 7 ″ display.

To give more comfort, a 10 ″ color head-up display was placed behind the Toyota sedan tidy. The advantage is that the driver himself can decide which parameters, in addition to speed, should be displayed on the head-up display, thereby expanding the capabilities of the system. The steering wheel of the Corolla sedan reminds many of the Toyota Camry; the steering wheel comfort set includes function buttons, heating and adjustment for height and depth.

If we compare the interior of the previous generation and the new Toyota Corolla sedan, then the differences are significant and only for the better. Designers have minimized the number of control buttons, and the interior itself has become an order of magnitude more comfortable and modern.
