This 11th-generation Corolla is the most evolved in recent history with new innovations and improvements in design. Viewed from the front, the hunkered-down sporty stance makes a solid first impression. But despite the increase in size, the weights for both remain the same as before, which is remarkable.
Between the petrol and diesel versions, the diesel tips the scales at 50kg more for the manual variants, but weighs exactly the same as the petrol automatic at 1270kg. Viewed head-on, the large airdam, aggressive upswept headlights with a strip of LEDs and the slightly flared wheel arches are a welcome departure from the conservative design of the previous car. The profile is quite attractive too, but is let down by the wheels that look at least a size too small. The problem isn’t the 16-inch wheel size itself, but that Toyota has raised the new Corolla by 5mm to offer best-in-class ground clearance.

Since a car’s ‘breakover angle’ is inversely proportional to the wheelbase, engineers played it safe and raised the suspension to compensate for the 100mm increase in wheelbase. So, while the profile’s aesthetic appeal may have taken a hit, you can be assured the underbody won’t. The Corolla now rides a good 180mm above the road; enough to sail over even some comically large speedbreakers.
Engine & Performance
In India, the Corolla has never had a powerful motor and, disappointingly, the new one doesn’t break away from the trend. In fact, it carries over the same motors as its predecessor and in the same state of sound too. So there 138bhp 1.8-litre petrol engine and a 87bhp 1.4-litre diesel mill. Engine comes with 4 Valve motor shaft engine with extreme high performance.
