There is a general movement amongst competitors when it comes to specifications and features on vehicles: Good, Better, Best. By comparison, Toyota seems to have a different approach: Easier, Simpler, and Functional. This very statement alone can inspire a flood of think-pieces amongst motoring aficionados about which approach is the best. In the case of the Toyota Corolla, however, it is numbers that speak.
The model is the world's best-selling car, and this alone should encourage Toyota’s peers to lay down their tools and have a very close look at what the Japanese manufacturer is doing. The all-new Toyota Corolla has now entered its 12th generation. Despite the obvious success of the model, Toyota is remaining very close to its original blueprint when it comes to specs and features.
The new range of Toyota Corolla is available in a choice of either petrol or hybrid engines. There is also the option of two engine variants, a 1.8 or 2.0-litre. The blend of the petrol engine and electric motor is a great strategy of Toyota’s. Not only does this enhance the vehicle’s performance, but it is also great for sustainability. This is one of the cornerstones of the Corolla’s identity and a wonderful example of how the Japanese manufacturer has enlarged on one of the ideals that has contributed to its success.
From a performance standpoint, the latest Toyota Corolla drive is focused on safety and control. The double wishbone contributes to the vehicle’s handling, an aspect that Toyota has said is its best to date. There has been an overwhelming surge from competitors recently with the advent of driver safety technologies. It should be a welcome addition to any driving experience, but the more options that a driver has, the more muddling it has the potential to become.
Toyota seems sensitive to this - which is why the latest Toyota Corolla is equipped with driver-assist tech which is simple to understand. Additions such as Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) and Hill-Assist Control (HAC) are not groundbreaking innovations, but relevant and needed for the range. There is more choice with the XR models, which come standard with the Toyota Safety Sense package. It is a succinct .combination of systems that includes a Blind Spot Monitor and Lane Keeping System.
