Upcoming 12th Gen Corolla Fanclub/ Discussion Thread

based on the images we have seen so far, i think it would be good if they give an all black roof regardless of the color.

That will be really cool looking if they give that in corolla like in new camry top variant. But for that they have to give panoramic roof which they will not give in a small size sedan i.e corolla

Not bad but not as good as we were expecting. Imo it is the ugliest looking Corolla since its launch in 70s

[zuhaibafzal]

Im liking this new design.

Fazal Bhai, how is the interior in person specially this LCD Panel? How it looks in person because in picture it looks hideous

[pwuser151438268980]

Corolla hatchback looks v.good exterior & interior.

Well this tablet style is now very common and on many car brands. The car on shows normally get power for head unit and cluster so that visitor can experience it.. these were not yet connected so I could not see how the head unit behaved to touch.

Because the car is hatchback obviously it will give you a feel of a compactness but overall I felt ok and one reason is I also own a hatchback.

The one thing I felt and it's more of personal opinion , the head unit is very square and thick and looks bulky. I mean it could look better if it was little shorter and wider and thinner.

Personally I like integrated head units in dash board. Audi started these tablet style LCD and everyone started following it.. Audi is now back to conventional style.

One thing is very clear from spy shots, the car is lower and wider.. Thanks to TNGA..

As far as styling , Toyota keeping it more conventional sedan unlike Civic which took a completely new styling and that is Honda brand wise including Accord, more of sportsback type.

Side skirts , fenders arches and any character lines will make it how we see it. Wheel design as well.

Keep in mind the purpose of camouflage is that paparazzi photographer can't take the design clues.. Under wrap we might be missing any curves and lines..

Only Indus knows how to raise and ruin the shape

[fazalwahab11375]

Well Civic is also around 20mm higher than a USDM but I think the new suspension system brings a much improved handling .

But yes it depends what suspension system they are bringing to Corolla. That will further explain the ride quality and handling. I think it would be multi link rear.

[zuhaibafzal]

I guess, it's multi link in Auris so they will use the same in corolla aswell

I wonder if indus would launch hatch back

[hishamkhan]

Never in a million years. Why would they shrink the size of their most popular "sedan" car in Pakistan?

[mohammadjan]

I mean as an extra vehicle i did not say they should discontinue the sedan

[autophile]

Buy only when facelift comes. Initial roll outs are stripped of most features.

[hishamkhan]

i think that will be very unlikely too..

there are rumours that 12th gen sedan variants will be smaller in length, width and height as compared to current 11th gen sedan (E170 international) in order to comply with Japanese dimension rules and regulations.. so they are sticking to the current (E160 JDM) AXIO spec dimensions in order to manufacture in japan.. but because of global platform all other markets are going to have the same dimensions.. seems like a downgrade from international model in legroom, comfort level, roominess and spaciousness.
