Next Generation 2014 Toyota Corolla sedan: This could be it

I like it!

One of Toyota’s best selling car model, the Corolla is all set to get a all new version later this year. The 2014 Toyota Corolla sedan has been spotted doing the testing rounds a few times already and from the looks of it, the first uncamouflaged spyshots of the Corolla seem to have hit the interweb. If these are indeed the spyshots of the next generation 2014 Corolla. the style job of the new car takes inspiration from the Furia concept that Toyota showcased at this year’s Detroit Motor Show. This also means that the next generation Corolla could be a lot less blander than its previous versions, and this is definitely a good thing.

 Toyota’s been harping on the fact that it plans to give its car range a stylistic makeover and the 2014 Corolla could one such model that embodies the Japanese car maker’s new design philosophy. The front of the 2014 Corolla seems to feature the Toyota family face while things at the rear of the car get a tad bit more exciting with sharply raked tail lamps, a high boot and an ample bumper. On the inside, the 2014 Corolla is expected to feature safe but classy styling with understated elements dominating the dashboard.

Under the hood, things are expected to remain pretty much unchanged. The petrol engine will continue to be the 1.8 Liter-4 cylinder naturally aspirated motor featuring variable valve technology. The diesel engine will be the 1.4 Liter D-4D unit replete with a variable geometry turbocharger. While the petrol engine will get a 5 speed manual gearbox while the turbo diesel engine will be paired a 6 speed manual. Conventional torque converter automatic gearboxes will be available on both the petrol and diesel engined models.

The next generation 2014 Corolla is expected to come in two different versions: A US spec model and a Euro spec model. India is expected to get the 2014 Corolla in Euro-trim. However, the next generation 2014 Corolla is expected to arrive into India only in 2015 given the fact that Toyota Kirloskar Motor has plans of going slow on new car launches in the country until 2015. when the car eventually arrives into India, we expect it to sold with petrol and turbo diesel engines, as is the case now. The 2014 Corolla will continue to sit in the Indian C+ segment, competing with the likes of the Chevrolet Cruze and the Skoda Laura.
