Something new is coming people, and it is from our very own Toyota Indus Motors. Our sources have brought a very interesting news for us and all of you, so gather o’ petrol heads because today is a good day for you. So, our sources have whispered some hush-hush news, which has been making rounds in the local market about Corolla 1.6.
What is Cooking?
The sources believe that we are getting something new, not a car but a variant. They told us that Toyota Indus is all set to launch a 1600cc Corolla with a new transmission. “We are getting Corolla 1.6L with 7-speed CVT Transmission,” the sources shared.
Currently, this variant comes with 4-speed Automatic transmission. Isn’t this great? Yes, it is. This new Corolla will be smoother with an upgraded driving experience, and most importantly, it will increase the fuel average. The auto experts believe that within the city, this car’s mileage will easily reach 13/14 km/liter.
There are no guesses that Corolla is among the most popular cars in Pakistan. People love it for its reliability, sturdiness, and excellent resale. The fuel average is another reason, and an enhanced one would be worth a bargain. So, fasten your seatbelts and switch on the engine of eager waiting.
What About Bookings?
Our sources have been thorough, so they told us that the bookings are already open. You just have to visit the nearby Toyota dealership and book one. But, you seldom get your favorite thing without a condition, so there is one in this situation too.
The company is getting a form signed from this variant’s buyers, which states that they have to pay extra at the delivery time for the extra feature. This sounds reasonable, we guess, because Toyota did the same at the booking time of Fortuner Legender and Revo Rocco.
And When You Getting It?
Last but not least, the most important question is when the consumer will get it after booking it. As per sources, the company is giving the delivery date of November/December 2022. However, some other sources are saying that the delivery will be done around February 2023.
So, let’s see what would be the date of the new Corolla 1.6.
What do you think about the new variant? Would you book it? Please share your thoughts in the comments section.
Is time for Toyota to launch the newer Corolla, this generation is getting old.
Honda Civic will outsale this one.
It is true that Corolla remains popular owing to its durability, roominess and resale factor and this re-work is going to prove good for the vehicle, people for some time have been talking about transmission and its influence on fuel average.

We know that Toyota is a reliable brand, but when they are deciding to bring back the 1.6L engine, once available in the market for fuel efficiency, it is time to bring the newer generation wich is not only available as a thermic car but as well as an hybrid car.
I read in some old article Toyota will assemble the Corolla Cross in 2023 in Pakistan. The SUV variant of Corolla, sharing same platforms and engine, let’s hope for this one the price will become affordable.
It’s maybe a matter of time.
@Waqas
Actually, Toyota Corolla has a multiple fanbase, urban as well as rural, rural people put this car through the toughest conditions and in such conditions a hybrid variant may not survive, moreover, the structure of 12th generation Corolla cannot support this 1.6L engine. That is why Indus is taking long in launching 12th generation Corolla. They are still testing the hybrid or a 1.2L version to make it compatible with needs of all types of customers.
Honda launched newer generation Civic because it is not used in rural conditions, in other words, Civic is restricted to only one type of customer class and that is why its launch did not take much time.
@Khurram
???
Urban or rural area ? It dosn’t make a difference when both of them have roads. But you must be talking about off-roading it is another story, even though they are hybrids cars like Toyota highlander (Kugler in Australia) who can do off-roading.
Anyway in the 12 generation as you said no 1.6L engine instead is an hybrid engine, thats exactly why i said, Toyota should launch the newer Corolla available as hybrid as well as thermic, with a 1.8L or 2.0l thermic version.
