Toyota Corolla Touring Wagon hybrid (2019+)

Since its debut in 1966, Corolla has become a car loved by customers all over the world, and has been cultivated as a long-term strong seller, with a track record of over 47.5 million vehicle sales^*2 in more than 150 countries and regions.

The introduction of the Corolla Sport as a new model in the Corolla series in June last year, and the adoption of the TNGA platform, has greatly revitalized the design and driving. The Corolla Sedan version and Corolla Touring Wagon version are new introductions to the Corolla series, allowing a varied choice of vehicles to suit customers’ lifestyles.

Utilizing the TNGA platform and design with Japan roads in mind results in sporty styling with a low center of gravity, enjoyable driving, and responsive handling. The new models are equipped with the latest Toyota Safety Sense, delivering enhanced safety performance. On-board connected services have also been upgraded to include Toyota’s first Display Audio as standard, installed in conjunction with smartphones.

“The Corolla is a car that is always ready to evolve to meet customers’ current needs,” says Yasushi Ueda, chief engineer in charge of development. “For this reason, it has been a long-term favorite of customers in Japan and all over the world. The new Corolla exceeds customer expectations by ‘adopting the TNGA platform, sporty design, and pleasurable driving.’ With the advanced safety equipment and connected functions, the safe and secure everyday driving of our customers is supported. I would like you to experience riding in or driving the Corolla series just to understand the sheer fun of driving this car.”

In reassessing the grades and some equipment of the conventional Corolla Axio and Corolla Fielder,^*3 while continuing to sell them, has meant a wide range of customer needs, including those of corporate customers, can be met.

• The WxB grade comes in a new Sparkling Black Pearl Crystal Shine. All three sporty colors are chic and carefully coordinated with gray metallic wheels and mirror covers. S and G-X grades consist of seven colors including the newly developed Celestite Gray Metallic.

Interior Design

• The instrument panel is thin and wide to create a feeling of spaciousness. Meticulously color coordinated interior design produces a space that resonates sensitivity and a unified feeling of shape and texture, while the A-pillar enhances visibility.

• Improved front seating comfort is achieved with a sporty seat (standard for WxB), and newly adopted knee space for the rear seats for ease of use.
  The Corolla Touring is equipped with an adjustable deck board, and the height of the cargo floor can be set at two heights. A flat space convenient for loading long luggage is created by setting the height in the upper position with rear seats folded down, and tall luggage can be loaded by placing it in the lower seat. (Vehicles equipped with spare tires, optional power outlet, and 4WD have a deck board that can be set at one height only.) The back of the deck board is made of resin for heavy-duty use, thus enhancing the vehicle’s practicality as a wagon.

• The interior color for the WxB grade, of the Corolla and Corolla Touring, is available in two colors: Black and White. S, G-X grades come in a chic black interior only.

• With further refinements to the TNGA platform, the vehicle features improved chassis rigidity, handling stability, and quietness.

• Enhancing the fun of driving with three powertrains

• The hybrid and gasoline engines have been changed from 1.5 liter to 1.8 liter to achieve seamless acceleration with superior comfort.

• The hybrid vehicle is equipped with an E-Four (electronic four-wheel drive system), enabling smooth switching to 4WD on slippery surfaces such as when accelerating and on snowy roads, contributing to driving stability and fuel efficiency.

• The manual vehicle is equipped with a 1.2-liter 8NR-FTS (direct injection turbo) engine to achieve both exceptional driving performance and excellent environmental performance.

• Pursuing the vehicle’s original pleasure of driving that makes you want to ride forever

• In addition to adopting the TNGA platform, the driver’s eye movement, turning posture, line traceability, and other movements r are analyzed and the suspension is optimized to further pursue ease of driving.

• The suspension uses a MacPherson Strut suspension on the front, contributing to a sense of security and stability when turning. The rear adopts a double wishbone suspension to achieve a stable drive that grabs the road surface.

• ACA (Active Cornering Assist) reduces understeering by providing brake force to the inner drive wheel when the accelerator pedal is depressed.

• A design concept unified with global models, and special body developed exclusively for Japan to realize ease of use for customers and various road environments.

• Dynamic design with reduced overall length, width, and wheelbase compared to global models.

• Optimal positioning of door mirrors to achieve a vehicle width with mirrors retracted equivalent to the conventional models.

• Corolla’s minimum turning radius is 5.0 meters, the same as conventional models (G-X grade 15-inch tire-equipped vehicles, 5.3 meters when equipped with 16-17-inch tires).

• The same door opening width as conventional models is achieved through the design of the opening angle of the door.

• A Toyota-brand first in Japan, Display Audio (DA) is standard on all models. Through DA, customers can connect with smartphones and operate map applications and music via the touch screen display. Customers can also use the conventional on-board navigation function, with a selection of two entry navigation kits and T-Connect navigation kits.

• Connection with smartphones

• Through SmartDeviceLink^TM*6 (SDL), smartphones can connect with Bluetooth^®*7 with a USB cable for use of navigation applications including TC smartphone navigation and LINE car navigation, as well as music and radio applications on DA. Voice recognition enables destination-setting, sending and receiving LINE messages, music playback, and other functions, improving convenience.

• Apple CarPlay^*8 and Android Auto^TM*9 can use maps, phone calls, messaging, and music applications through DA by connecting smartphones with a USB cable (Option includes TV; T-Connect contract required at contract).

• On-board DCM (Data Communication Module) is standard in all models. Safe and convenient, it is free of charge for five years. (From the sixth year onward, the fee is 3,300 yen/year excluding tax or 300 yen/month excluding tax.)

• The range of T-Connect service functions has been expanded from the Corolla Sport launched in 2018, including remote functions that allow door locks to be operated remotely and hybrid navigation systems.
