Toyota Corolla 2021
From now on, all electric windows are equipped with an automatic mode.

At first the salon seemed the same. Only after taking a closer look did I realize that it had been seriously redrawn. The instrument panel got rid of radial digitization in favor of a more visual vertical one and acquired a 4.2‑inch color display (previously it was black and white). The screen on the center console has been increased diagonally from 6.1 inches to seven.
Climate control is now controlled by stylish rocker keys, the deflectors at the edges have become round and resemble turbine nozzles. Pleasant little things include a heated steering wheel and automatic mode for all four electric windows.
Over half a century, eleven generations of Corolla have passed, and all of them turned out to be extremely popular. This is the most popular car on the planet!
Standard and Classic
The basic version is positioned with steel wheels shod with 15-inch tires measuring 195/65. As a spare tire, a nice bonus is a full-size steel wheel. The Japanese did not disappoint fans of the Corolla generation, so the door handles are already painted in body color.
Mechanically, everything is simple - for 949,000 rubles. a 99-horsepower 1.33-liter engine is offered. and a six-speed “knob”. It travels sparingly, but is not expensive either. In addition, the following are available in this version:
- Halogen headlights.
- ABS and EBD interfaces.
- 4 speakers + audio preparation.
- Air conditioner.
- Central locking with remote control.
- Washer indicator .
- Front electric windows.
The key now folds down and the front seats have three-way power adjustment. In terms of safety, the car is equipped with front airbags.
In the second Classic configuration, the new Toyota Corolla 2021 has the following prices: RUR 1,059,000. and 1,096,000 rub. Side airbags and more are added here. The future Toyota driver is offered a 1.6 liter unit. with a horsepower of 122 heads. If you combine a gasoline unit with a six-speed manual transmission, you get a cheaper option. A CVT will cost more.
Style
The 16" "cast" version is used in Corollas, the cost of which starts from 1,109,000 rubles. This is exactly how much a car with a 1.6 liter engine will cost. on board and 6-speed manual transmission. The continuously variable transmission is again 37,000 rubles more expensive.
However, this Toyota can be distinguished externally by the presence of fog lights. There are many more innovations in the interior:
- Audio system with AUX and USB outputs.
- Heated leather steering wheel.
- Rear ESP.
Comfort
Part of the exterior restyling is already available in this version. This is where LED taillights help identify the rear of the updated car. The difference in the interior with the Style is also quite noticeable - the driver will immediately see the color display between the speedometer and tachometer. Otherwise, the additions are almost the same as in the Toyota RAV4 2016 Classic configuration:
- traction control interface (TRC);
- Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) and Hill Assist Control (HAC) systems;
- Bluetooth;
- heated windshield in the wiper area;
- 6 speakers.
In the transitional Comfort configuration, the new Toyota Corolla 2017 has the following prices: RUB 1,154,000. and 1,191,000 rub. In terms of aggregates, everything is the same: the cheaper version is 1.6 + 6-speed manual transmission, the more expensive version is 1.6 + CVT.

From the rear, the updated car can be identified by the changed design of the lights.
Thanks to the modernized suspension, the ride has become noticeably smoother. There is no shaking even on broken roads.

But Toyota didn’t stop there and completely shook up the chassis. The settings of the springs, shock absorbers and anti-roll bar have been shifted towards greater comfort, and, as I have just seen, without compromising handling. Thanks to this, the suspension easily levels out unevenness, which is not at all uncommon on secondary Kuban roads. Even on a grader the car moves comfortably.
All in all, you can't choke this song. The Corolla has every chance to continue to remain one of the most popular cars in the segment. I wouldn’t be surprised if we soon celebrate the release of the 50 millionth copy.

Features of the robotic gearbox
A robotic manual transmission is an alternative to a traditional automatic transmission. The operating principle of the robot box is the same as that of the mechanics, but with the participation of a special device under the hood. Upon command from the electronic control unit, the hydraulic cylinders close and open the clutch at the right moment and engage the gear. The driver directly takes part in the process by setting the desired operating mode of the robot, forward or reverse, on the selector.
Robotic gearbox
A robotic gearbox has both advantages and disadvantages. Such a robot works according to a clear mechanism. While the car picks up speed, when a certain engine speed is reached, the car itself releases the gas and pauses. At this moment, the mechanism depresses the clutch and engages the gear. This process is accompanied by a noticeable pause and jerking of the car, especially during intense acceleration. The faster the car picks up speed, the more noticeable the jerks. That is why it is better to accelerate the Toyota Corolla on a robot smoothly, slowly, and in no case pressing the pedal to the floor. For smooth movement on the robot, it is recommended to use one third or half of the gas pedal stroke.
In addition, when driving in traffic jams, at each stop you need to move the selector lever to the neutral position until the next time you set off. Otherwise, if the car is stationary and the gear is engaged, the clutch is depressed and is in constant tension. This leads to premature wear of the clutch mechanism. A car with such a gearbox should be put on the handbrake, which can cause some difficulties in the cold season. If you stop a car on a robot on a descent without using the handbrake, the car will roll back. In addition, the robot requires periodic calibration and additional maintenance. The service life of such a box depends on the driving mode. The robot's lifespan is more limited in city conditions (especially in large cities with frequent traffic jams) and much longer when used frequently on the highway.
Toyota Corolla interior on a “robot”
Careful handling of the gearbox and smooth acceleration can significantly extend the service life of such a robot and significantly save fuel. Once you get a feel for the gear shift algorithm and get used to the behavior of the robotic gearbox, you can truly enjoy driving a car with such a transmission. It’s especially easy to “make friends” with a robot driver with at least a little experience.
The advantages of a robotic transmission include the fact that the engine retains its power without losing horsepower, as with an automatic transmission. In addition, cars with robotic gearboxes are recognized as more economical and environmentally friendly. That is why in the European version preference is given to strictly robotic boxes.
Let's listen to the new sound of the world hit called Toyota Corolla.
