Briefly about Corolla 110
Corolla 110 pre-restyling: station wagon sedan and two types of hatchbacks
Toyota Corolla in the 110 body underwent restyling in 1999. The appearance has been updated. Manufacturers removed two round headlights and installed four round ones in a single unit. The range of engines available for the restyled Corolla has also expanded significantly. Toyota Corolla E110 was equipped with a large number of gasoline and diesel power units. In 2002, production of the 8th generation Corolla ceased.
Before restyling, the Toyota Corolla e110 was officially sold in Russia in the sedan form factor and only with 1.3 petrol engines.
There were several engines for European buyers. In Europe, even before the 1999 update, Toyota Corolla was presented in 4 sedan station wagon formats and two types of hatchbacks.
After the 1999 update, the Toyota Corolla in Russia could be purchased as a sedan, hatchback, station wagon and three-door hatch. In the European market, the eighth generation Corolla was produced in several versions even before the update:
- 3 and 5 door hatchback;
- charged version of the hatchback - Corolla G8;
- sedan;
- station wagon
Sedan after update
Despite certain similarities, Toyota tried to make an exclusive car for each country. The Corolla 110 is distinguished by its diversity in appearance, technical parameters and configurations.

Exterior and body types
The Corolla 110 family was not very different from the E100 model. The exterior of VIII changed after restyling in 1999. Not only the appearance of the car has changed, but also body options have appeared. If at the start of sales in Russia the Toyota Corolla 110 was offered to customers only as a sedan, then after the update the line expanded. The improved 1999 Corolla appeared in 4 form factors: sedan, station wagon, five-door hatchback and three-door hatch.
Corolla 110 pre-styling
Despite the similarities with the 7th generation, the Corolla 110 received a smoother bumper, to which an enlarged radiator grille was attached. The front optics have also changed. The car began to be produced with oval convex headlights with round colored sidelights. The turn signals of the updated Corolla 1999 were located separately from the main headlights - in the wings. Moldings, door trims and the bumper itself are painted in body color.
Toyota designers have completely redesigned the bumper of the restyled Corolla E110. The characteristic holes disappeared and fog lights were added. In general, the updated 8th generation Corolla has changed slightly, but the pointed shapes have disappeared, a sloping roof and a slightly “blown” body have appeared. Significant changes awaited the car in the future.
Hatchback of the updated E110
Different appearance
European and Russian cars received an appearance slightly different from the old one. The head optics, taillights and bumpers have changed, the rest of the elements even came from previous generations. The appearance is of course nondescript; some people don’t like such grayness.
Japanese and American cars are more similar to their predecessor with the same narrow headlights and rear lights. The style is still reminiscent of old cars, and the European version looks more modern.
In 1999, the restyling of the Corolla brought changes. At the front, the round lights were replaced with elongated ones with a curve at the bottom. A different radiator grille and completely redesigned bumpers were installed. The rest of the changes are minimal, but they have seriously transformed the appearance.
Design
The previous Toyota body was taken as a basis. Externally, these two cars are very similar. We can say that the Toyota Corolla 110 is a kind of restyled series of the 7th generation of cars.
But there are some differences. Take a look at what the Toyota Corolla (110 body) looks like. There is a photo of the car in our article.
Unlike the previous generation, the 8th Corolla acquired more rounded optics and a sleek bumper. The radiator grille is no longer a separate element. The part is connected to the bumper into one unit. The moldings were either black or painted to match the body color. By the way, the bumpers, even in luxury versions, were not equipped with fog lights. In general, the design of the Toyota car (sedan) is typical for its years - simple, but no longer angular shapes, a slightly “blown” body and a sloping roof.
We also note that the model came in 2 restylings. Take a look at what the Toyota Corolla (110 body) looks like after ’99 (photo below).
The design of the car has changed slightly. The car has different optics (the turn signals are now located separately, in the wings) and a bumper. Black air intake deflectors appeared. The radiator grille has increased in size. The Toyota badge itself has also increased in size. Otherwise, the body geometry remains the same. Significant changes occurred with the release of the 120th Corolla.
The Toyota Corolla (110 body) was produced serially from 1995 to 2002. The car was available in several variations:
- Sedan.
- Station wagon.
- Five- and three-door hatchback.
On the Russian market, most Corollas have a sedan body. The dimensions of the machine, depending on the version, are as follows:
- Length - from 4.27 to 4.32 meters.
- Height – from 1.38 to 1.44 meters.
- Width – 1.69 meters for all bodies.
The curb weight of the car was also different and ranged from 900 to 1230 kilograms. The ground clearance for all models was quite small - only 15 centimeters.
Salon, interior equipment
The interior of the Corolla E110 has also undergone changes. The salon has acquired smoothed and rounded shapes, trimmed with light plastic. In the pre-restyling Corolla of 1998, only fabric trim was available, namely high-quality velor. The doors and armrest for the driver and front passenger were also trimmed with it.
Interior of the three-door hatchback Corolla 110
The Toyota Corolla in the 110 body was quite comfortable and ergonomic inside. The seats were adjustable and provided good lumbar support. Although the driver's seat was only height adjustable. The rear seats were called “mother-in-law’s place”; passengers could hardly put their feet under the front seats. The second row could be folded 60/40 to accommodate bulky cargo.
Car owners also noted the comfort of the steering wheel. It was adjusted only vertically; it was impossible to pull it forward or push it back. There are also electric levers for controlling the mirrors.
The interior of the Corolla 110 hatchback. The red and black interior is better. Which one do you like best?
In the 8th generation Corolla model, central locking and electric front windows were available as options. It was impossible to buy a key with a remote control, even for an additional fee. There were no heated front seats.

Bodywork and metal durability
The number of bodies has decreased, but everyone can still take the right one. This is a big plus, since you can take a sedan, 5-door or 3-door hatchback, station wagon, and fans of Japanese appearance will prefer an aggressive coupe with narrow head optics.
The dimensions of the bodies are largely similar - the same 2461 mm wheelbase, 1690 mm width and 150 mm clearance. Otherwise there are differences:
- sedan (length – 4300 mm, height – 1385 mm);
- 5-door hatchback (length – 4270 mm, height – 1379 mm);
- hatchback 3-door (length – 4300 mm, height – 1379 mm);
- station wagon (length – 4320 mm, height – 1440 mm, plus 5 mm of ground clearance added).
The coupe has a completely different design, so the dimensions are different:
- length – 4285 mm;
- width – 1695 mm;
- height – 1305 mm;
- wheelbase – 2465 mm;
- ground clearance - 150 mm.
Durability Corolla E110
This is the only serious disadvantage of the Japanese in terms of reliability. In Europe, the climate creates excellent conditions for the life of metal. Russia has a harsh climate with reagents that corrode metal, so you often find cars with rust on the arches, bottoms of doors and underbody elements.
The manufacturer tried to thoroughly protect the body with 2-sided galvanizing with a maximum 15-micron layer. Cars from the southern regions live much longer.
Practical interior
Inside, the simplicity continues, the style is not attractive, but not repellent, ergonomic. The design has completely changed, nothing remains from the previous generation. Everything is made of simple materials and well assembled, so squeaks are a rare occurrence.
The driver has a conventional 4-spoke steering wheel in his hands, behind which lies an exclusively analog instrument panel with a bunch of lights and a vertical monitor in the center for the automatic transmission. A 2-DIN radio has appeared on the center console of the Toyota Corolla E110, moved to the very top of the panel. The climate unit is now completely on three washers and only one slider is responsible for shutting off the ventilation.
The car is relatively safe; top trim levels were equipped with two airbags, as well as child seat anchors.
Many appreciated the practicality of the interior with its spacious trunk. The station wagon generally boasts folding seats, creating a flat floor for transporting large loads. The volume depends on the body type:
- sedan - 390 liters;
- hatchback – 371/1060 liters;
- 3-door hatchback – 280/110 liters;
- station wagon - 309/1250 liters.

Most of the engines were taken from the previous generation, with minor modifications made. The restyle featured a new ZZ-FE engine, which received a VVT-i variable valve timing system. We have combined the characteristics of all motors in a table so as not to confuse readers with stories about each.
The eighth Corolla had a manual transmission with 5 or 6 gears, or a 4-speed automatic transmission, and occasionally a 3-speed automatic transmission was used. The models are front-wheel drive; it is rare to find an all-wheel drive car.
The front suspension consists of MacPherson struts with anti-roll bars, while the rear suspension uses trailing arms + anti-roll bars. Unfortunately, the brake system is also disc in the front and drum in the rear.
Engines and gearboxes
The car was equipped with various engines. But at the start of its sales, the Toyota E110 was available only with two gasoline power units of equal volume of 1.3 liters.
Engine 5A-FE
The available basic configuration of the 8th generation Corolla with a five-speed manual was equipped with a 1.3-liter 2E unit with 75 horsepower. And the more expensive options were equipped with a 1.3 liter 4E-FE 86 horsepower engine and were coupled with a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic transmission.
After restyling, the Toyota Corolla in the 110th body had several types of transmission: 5- and 6-speed manual transmission, as well as 4-speed automatic transmission. The updated Toyota Corolla E110 has a wider choice of engines. In addition to the above-mentioned engines, 1.4-liter 4ZZ-FE gasoline engines with 95 horsepower and 1.6-liter 4A-FE with 110 horsepower became available.
Corolla 110 under the hood of 4A-GE
The 8th generation Corolla 1.4-liter power unit was paired with a five-speed manual transmission. And for the 1.6-liter engine, a 5-speed manual transmission and a 4-range automatic transmission were available.
Cars with different power units and gearboxes were produced for different countries. Toyota offered more engines for the European buyer. In Europe, the 1.3 liter 2E 75 liter Corolla was not sold. With. But 1.6 liter 3ZZ-FE petrol engines with 110 hp were available. With. and 1.8 7A-FE 110 horsepower (installed on an all-wheel drive station wagon). Also diesel engines:

Technical data of the first modification of the eighth generation
The recession that the Japanese automaker fell into did not allow the company to carry out a complete update of the technical equipment of the VIII generation Toyota Corolla, limiting itself to only a light modernization of proven and well-proven power units from the previous car model.
The line of power units that equipped the first modifications of the Toyota Corolla E110 consisted of three gasoline engines and one diesel engine; the manufacturer slightly changed their settings for more economical fuel consumption, after which they received the following indicators:
- 1.3-liter in-line four 4E - FE with 4 valves for each cylinder, the power of which was equal to 88 or 65 kW horses, produced at 5600 crankshaft revolutions with a torque of 116 Nm at 4600 engine speeds;
- 1.5-liter in-line engine 5A - FE with 4 valves for each cylinder, the horsepower of which was exactly 100 or 74 kW, produced at 5600 crankshaft revolutions with a torque of 137 Nm at an engine speed of 4400;
- 1.6-liter four in line 4A - FE with 4 valves for each cylinder, the horsepower of which was equal to 115 or 85 kW, produced at 6000 engine speeds and a torque of 147 Nm at 4800 engine speeds;
- 2-liter diesel engine of the 2C-III series, the power of which was 73 horses or 54 kW at 4700 crankshaft revolutions, with a maximum torque of 129 Nm, obtained at 2800 revolutions.
The working pair for each of the engines was either a manual gearbox with five steps, or two automatic versions with three- and four-speed operating modes. The suspension in the VIII generation Toyota Corolla in the 110 body was made using a standard MacPherson strut system in the front and longitudinal and transverse arms in the rear, where a transverse stabilizer was responsible for directional stability.

Restyling 1999
Restyled Corollas of the 8th generation went on sale on the market in 1999. And after the update, the choice of E110 models for buyers expanded significantly. If before the restyling of the Toyota Corolla there was only one option - a sedan, then after it the universal, three- and five-door hatchbacks became available.
Hatchback of the updated E110
The engine range of the car has also expanded significantly. Before the update, two engines of the same volume of 1.3 liters were available. After modifications in 1999, Corolla VIII offered buyers, in addition to the existing engines, 1.4 and 1.6 liter engines.
The image of the Corolla has also undergone changes, but comfort has been preserved. The size and appearance remained the same, and the interior received a new stereo system.

Description of the restyled version of the 1997 model year
One of the main differences of the restyled version of the Corolla was the new engine under the designation 1ZZ-FE, which has an aluminum cylinder crankcase and displacements of 1.3 and 1.6 liters, which were equipped exclusively with European versions of the car.
The updated line of engines for the European version of the car had one of the best indicators of operational reliability, which was noted by numerous reviews of the 1997 Toyota Corolla from various experts, who also noted high fuel efficiency.
In the interior of the car, the front row seats have been changed, receiving improved lateral support and a higher seating position, making visibility from the cabin much better. There were no other significant changes in the updated car; the automaker did not improve the flawlessly working various systems and components in this modification.

Reliability
All engines performed excellently even at high mileage. A minor problem in the form of a crankshaft oil seal leak. Otherwise, these are simple, technically problem-free engines that need periodic maintenance (oil change, timing belt, valve adjustment). Of particular note, the 1.8-liter engine suffers from jammed valve bearings, which causes the idle to float. The 1.6-liter engine begins to eat up oil after a while.
A manual transmission may lose its primary and secondary shaft bearings if you forget to change the oil. Torque converter automatic transmissions require an oil change, pan gasket and leak check. This is where the “problems” end.
The suspension of the Corolla E110 surprised us with its reliability - in Russian expensive conditions, the main elements cost under 150 thousand. Usually there are exceptions here in the form of stabilizer struts, which are consumables on any car - this is not the case. The steering needs to be replaced every 100 thousand kilometers.

Toyota Corolla car - configurations and prices
The E110 modification was produced in different configurations:
- Terra.
- Luna.
- G6.
Since this car is no longer produced, it is only available on the secondary market. The difference in prices for the most part depends not on the configuration, but on the condition of the car itself. On average, the price of the 110th Corolla in Russia is 150-200 thousand rubles.
The basic version included a good set of options. Among them, the following should be noted:
- Air conditioner.
- 2 front electric windows.
- Electric headlight range control.
- Armrest.
- Central locking.
- Cabin filter.
- Adjusting the brightness of the instrument panel illumination.
- Electric mirrors.
- Driver's side airbag.
Interior trim is fabric. Brakes – front disc, rear – drum. The bumpers were painted in body color. There was also an ABS system. Some versions had an instrument panel tachometer.
Flaws
The 8th generation Toyota Corolla does not have a beautiful design or interior. There are no bright and memorable solutions. Although this is a reliable and strong car for all its simplicity.
If you compare the Corolla in the 110th body with the domestic auto industry of those years, then it will be better in all respects. But the car is not perfect, so there are some disadvantages.
Corolla 110 under the hood
The low ground clearance - 155 millimeters of ground clearance - is not enough for a sedan used on our roads, so this is a significant drawback. The relatively soft suspension when fully loaded is also a disadvantage. The Toyota Corolla VIII generation loaded under the application sinks too low to the ground.
As a negative feature, Corolla car owners note body corrosion, which does not make it possible to drive for a long period of time, as in Europe.
Corolla 110 dork styling
The lack of space for rear passengers is another disadvantage of the 8th generation Corolla. It is uncomfortable for passengers to sit in the second row; they cannot put their legs under the front seats.
