The expected further, which is at the Paris Motor Show 2012. The new Toyota Auris -Corolla (still do not know if the name remains the same today, Auris, or if he will return to its origins, and Corolla, as some rumors) but it is already here, revealed by some photographs of the version for the market Japan, which will be presented in July at the catchments area of the Asian country. We begin the analysis?
We start from the measurements: the length reaches 4.27 meters, an increase of 25 mm, and height of 1.43 meters touches share (+55 mm), while width and wheelbase remain unchanged (respectively 1.76 and 2 meters , 6 meters). Inside there is more room for luggage and rear passengers (+20 mm and +50 mm, respectively) and greater levels of comfort. And the design?
The new Toyota Auris -Corolla - you can say - certainly has not chosen the path of continuity and conservatism, preferring to walk the path of evolution marked and deep. The car uses a design language very rough and sharp, and angular granite, inherited from the + new Prius, Yaris and Prius C. The result? The rear is a bit 'heavy, while the front of the car looks a little sad, almost tired, and sluggish at times.
The body-Auris Corolla, although streamlined, remains quite solid and does not buy the grit of some competitors (e.g. Mercedes A-Class, Volkswagen Golf and Opel Astra). The hatchback Nipponese can not even reach the edge of aggressive cousin Lexus CT. Less anonymous in the past, the style of the car, risking not like (it comes to car with a great success all over the planet). And the interior? The living space of the new Toyota Auris -Corolla loses the bulky center console dashboard for a more composed, clean and private, clearly inspired by the Toyota Yaris (collection, minimally invasive).
At a mechanical level, for the moment, no details have been leaked: it seems that the car will be offered with two petrol engines, a 1.5-liter and 1.8 liter version of hybrid and three diesel engines, a 1.4-liter, a 2.0-liter and 2.2 liter engines replaced in 2014 by the BMW designer.
On our highways, the new Toyota Auris -Corolla, circulate probably starting next winter. What do you think?
