As with the hatchback derivatives, the sedan will offer similar pricing, grades and features structure to simplify the selection process for customers. \u201cLike its hatched sibling, this new-generation sedan is built on the latest TNGA platform. It is a marked step up from its predecessor with a powerful and efficient new drivetrain, a sharper design language, crisp handling and superb ride comfort, as well as a long list of driver-assistance safety niceties never before seen on Corolla,” Glenn Crompton, Vice President of Marketing, Toyota South Africa.<\/p>\n

Featuring at the top of the list is the XR derivative which comes fitted with the new TNGA 2.0-litre petrol engine, either mated to a six-speed manual gearbox or 10-step continuously variable transmission (CVT). This option is capable of 125 kW and 200 N.m of torque and is substantially increased from its predecessor. Also on offer is a mid-range XS option which features a 1.8-litre powertrain, exclusively mated to the CVT transmission capable of 104 kW. This motor and transmission combination promises to return a combined figure of 6L\/100km for the CVT versions and 6.5L\/100km for the manual variant.<\/p>

In addition to a more power full engine, Toyota has added double-wishbone suspension to the rear which in turn results in a more comfortable and refined driving experience. The mid-range Corolla 1.8 XS comes standard with LED headlights, push-start, cruise control, auto climate control, reverse camera, a new infotainment system, and multifunction steering wheel with Voice Command as well as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality. Occupants are kept safe employing seven airbags (including a driver’s knee bag), an electronic parking brake, Hill Assist Control and Vehicle Stability Control as standard.<\/p>

In addition to these features on the XS variant, the XR derivatives feature Smart Entry, Bi-LED headlights with Auto High-Beam, two-tone 18-inch laser-cut alloy wheels, electro-chromatic rear-view mirror, combination leather upholstery, steering wheel with paddle shifters with the CVT fitted derivative, as well as Blind Spot Monitor, Adaptive All-Speed Cruise Control and Lane Departure Alert.<\/p>\n
