Forbidden fruit unless you are a European:
" The All New Corolla Wagon "
Few weeks ago I mentioned about Toyota Killing the Auris name from its line. You can read it here > https://goo.gl/esoTGW
Corolla name plate will now be used for the Auris hatch as well as as the new Touring wagon as pictured and revealed today.
The last one joining the show of Corolla hatch and Wagon will be the Toyota's best selling Corolla Sedan. This Wagon and Hatchback should give you enough idea how the 12th generation Corolla sedan would look like as far as exterior / interior design philosophy. See Corolla Hatch here > https://goo.gl/esoTGW
Because Corolla hatchback and Wagon share identical components on inside and out , we can assume that something similar will come to 12th generation Corolla sedan in less than a year time. The reason for uniform name of Corolla for hatchback and Wagon is for the fact that these are based on Toyota's new global platform. The same platform will be used by the upcoming 12th generation Corolla Sedan.
Expect somewhat same interior design as seen in hatchback or this Wagon for the upcoming 12th Generation Corolla sedan. Also 12th generation Corolla sedan will be a global model as far as interior and exterior styling and design. So we might see a uniform model across different markets including Pakistan. Engine variants might be different in different markets and PKDM Corolla might carry on with the same 1.8L engine as currently available
Obviously PKDM will not be as equipped and featured pack as international models unfortunately. Pakistani market will also not see a hatchback or Wagon Corolla anytime soon. You can expect a Pakistani version of 12th generation Corolla sedan sometime in late 2020.
As of this new Wagon mainly targeted for Europe will be powered by same engine options as for Corolla hatchback. An engine out of Prius which is a 1.8L + electric motor producing 122hp or a more powerful 2.0L Hybrid with 180hp.
If you are looking for a conventional petrol engine, a 1.2L Turbocharged engine with 116hp is also available. No diesel option this time.
The new Corolla wagon is longer, wider , lower and roomier inside than soon to be discontinued Toyota Auris Touring/ Wagon. Toyota offers Fielder a Wagon in Japan and its not confirmed if Toyota will replace it with the Corolla Wagon in Japan for domestic market although a replacement is long overdue. Most probably Toyota will discontinue the Fielder model and the Corolla Wagon will become a JDM model as well keeping in mind globalization and uniformity of models in different markets.
