Exterior

Toyota Corolla 2015: exterior

The 2015 European version of the sedan boasts not only excellent quality and good efficiency, but also modern design and sophisticated shapes. Unlike its predecessor models, it received a large number of changes in the front and rear parts of the body.

The first thing that catches your eye is the modern radiator grille with stunning optics. The shape of the bumper has been noticeably changed. The eleventh generation is not a restyling, but a full-fledged and in-depth development of a new body. The dimensions of the sedan have grown, while the aerodynamic drag has been reduced. The door handles have become very large and pleasant to the touch. The rear lines have become more streamlined compared to the old Corolla. This effect is achieved by the increased volume of the sedan.

The aggressive and “active” form highlights each element and emphasizes its “direction”. The designers really tried to make the look as attractive as possible. In general, the car is made in the corporate style of Toyota Motors. Look at the photo of the 2015 Toyota Corolla in the new body and make sure that it deserves the status of a “stylish” car.

Suspension

The new car did not require any intervention in the suspension and steering, since previous models had proven themselves in this regard only from the best side.

The energy-intensive suspension settings are good for comfortable driving on rough roads or highways. The impression is slightly spoiled by the low ground clearance, which is still only 150 mm. On the other hand, owners of domestic vehicles do not experience discomfort with the same amount of clearance in the absence of normal roads. Moreover, this factor is taken into account by the manufacturer in the form of reinforced individual suspension elements.

Interior

Toyota Corolla 2015: interior

While in the Corolla cabin, you will never feel discomfort. A comfortable three-spoke leather multi-steering wheel with plastic inserts goes well with the design of the car itself. Directly on the steering wheel there are controls for the radio and on-board computer.

The overall presentation of the panel and center console is not much higher than that of previous models. Thanks to this solution, the appearance of the interior becomes visually larger. Toyota engineers made the front panel so that all ergonomics were at eye level. The central panel received a pronounced speedometer. Large numbers and good readability will be convenient for any driver. The developers decided to install a monochrome on-board computer on the speedometer.

Each element of the exterior is qualitatively matched to each other. The plastic is not too harsh, but at the same time you understand that this can be the key to reliable operation (for example, protection from scuffs and cracks). The seats do not have much lateral support. Comfortable seating and the amount of spacious space easily make it possible for the driver and passenger not to touch each other during the trip. Toyota Corolla interior photos will give a complete visual description of the modern style.

Salon

The front panel of the Toyota Corolla in 2015, as in previous models, did not receive any special changes, remaining the same minimalistic, but with a convenient location of literally all controls.

The multifunction steering wheel contains control buttons for the car radio and on-board computer.

The salon has inexpensive but practical upholstery in discreet shades. The shape of the seats in the car is optimally selected, despite the weak lateral support.

Visually, the car is short in length, but the driver and four passengers feel quite comfortable inside the car. Those sitting behind do not have to worry that their knees will rest against the backs of the seats and their heads will reach the ceiling. And the width of the three passengers in the back row of seats does not constrain each other.

Toyota Corolla 2015: engine

In technical terms, the Corolla has undergone significant changes to the front and rear suspension. The anti-roll bar on the front axle has been changed. The front suspension received new MacPherson struts and became completely independent. The rear is equipped with a torsion beam with semi-independent operation.

The brake discs on the front and rear wheels are controlled by ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System), EBD (Electronic Brake Assist) and BAS (Brake Assist). It is also worth noting that the front discs measuring 277 mm received ventilation, while the rear discs measuring 270 mm remained unventilated.

The engine for the Russian version is only in a gasoline version. Three units are offered with a volume of 1.3 l, 1.6 l and 1.8 l. The VVT-i system is used, which allows better distribution of gas phase changes. The transmission is offered in two options: six-speed manual and CVT.

Engine and transmission

For the new 2015 Toyota Corolla, the manufacturer offers three types of engines in a wide range of displacements - 1.33 l, 1.6 l and 1.8 l. It should be noted that the most powerful and voluminous 1.8 liter engine has never previously been installed on cars intended for sale in the CIS countries.

The power of the younger engine is 99 hp. With. with a consumption on the highway of 5.6 liters and in urban mode 7.2 liters per hundred km. The average engine already has 122 hp. With. and consumption is 1 liter more. And finally, the most powerful power plant has 140 hp. With. with fuel consumption in the city within 8.3 liters per hundred km.

The kit offers a choice between a six-speed manual transmission or a CVT. The 1.8 engine is equipped only with a CVT. Different configurations differ in both the power plant and the presence of additional options.

Unlike robotic gearboxes, a CVT transmission slightly reduces fuel consumption with a slight deterioration in vehicle dynamics.

Toyota Corolla 2015: configurations

1.33 Dual VVT—i, 6 M/T

On-board computer Corolla 2015

It is the cheapest option for the 2015 model year. The four-door sedan is equipped with a 1.3 petrol engine. Fuel consumption is simply amazing: 5.6 liters per 100 kilometers. The maximum speed is 180 km/h, and acceleration to hundreds in just 12.6 seconds.

Security systems:

The car is equipped with two AIR BAG (front driver and passenger). For good braking and stability in bad weather, an ABS anti-lock braking system is installed. As for the anti-theft system, it is provided by a standard immobilizer. Also, in the basic model, they did not forget about the safety of children, making fastenings and clamps for ISOFIX child seats.

External equipment:

The starting “package” includes electrically adjustable side mirrors, heated rear window, halogen headlights and steel wheels with a radius of R15.

Internal equipment:

All trim levels have an on-board computer installed on the instrument panel. For convenient use of the car, remote control of the central locking has been developed. At the same time, the Japanese decided not to abandon the folding key fob. The base model has front power windows. The steering column is equipped with adjustment (height and reach). Excellent audio system with output to the multifunction steering wheel. An excellent addition would be air conditioning, which is not available in all base models of competitors.

1.6 Dual VVT-i, 6 M/T – Live and 1.6 Active

Manual transmission Corolla 2015

The engine characteristics of the two trim levels, Live and Active, are no different. Petrol unit with a volume of 1.6 liters for four cylinders. The engine produced 122 horsepower with a torque of 154 Nm. Unlike the budget option, this engine accelerates to 100 km/h in 10.5 seconds. Fuel consumption has increased by 1.0 liter and is 6.6 liters per hundred kilometers in the combined cycle. The 1.6 Dual Live and 1.6 Dual Active trim levels are the most dynamic.

Safety:

The Active series includes 4 airbags and a rear view camera. In addition to the front ones, front side AIR BAGs appeared. The Live model is equipped with additional “curtains”. Toyota Corolla 1.6 2015 received all the same reliable operation systems as the basic equipment.

Additional equipment:

Toyota Corlla 1.6 Active differs from Live in the presence of R16 wheels, front fog lights and a leather steering wheel. In turn, Live, as an improved model of the basic configuration, is equipped with heated side mirrors, rear windows and heated seats.

As for the control, monitoring and audio systems, the Active was given the full stuffing: bluetooth, high-quality audio playback, two-zone climate and air conditioning. 1.6 Dual VVT-i, 6 M/T – Live got by only with a good audio system and air conditioning.

1.6 Dual VVT-i, Multidrive S Live (CVT) and Active (CVT)

Toyota Corolla 2015: CVT

The two trim levels that complete the list of the 2015 Toyota Corolla lineup have acquired a seven-speed CVT transmission. What I would like to note is the efficiency and good dynamics. The Live and Active engines (variator) have not received any changes. All the same parameters as on a manual transmission. But if you pay attention to fuel consumption, it is pleasantly surprising. In the urban cycle, average fuel consumption is 8.2 liters. The highway and extra-urban cycle costs 5.3 liters. But the mixed consumption per hundred kilometers was 6.3 liters. With a volume of 1.6 and 122 hp, having received a CVT gearbox, the sedan is capable of accelerating to 100 km in just 11.1 seconds.

The Multidrive S Live (variator) and Active (variator) components correspond to the same models as on the manual transmission.
