Toyota Corolla 2014 review: technical specifications and design

New Toyota Corolla 2014

In 2013, there were already 11 generations of Toyota Corolla cars. We can say that everyone was looking forward to the updated version of this car, because the previous model of the car had been sold for almost six years.

Toyota Corolla 2014 has improved not only in its appearance, but also in its equipment.

Of course, this fact affected the cost of the car, but if we take into account that cars of this brand are always popular with car enthusiasts, therefore, there is something to pay for.

Design

The first 11 variants of this car created almost a sensation in their time. There are several versions of the Toyota Corolla: for Europe and for the USA.

Perhaps the one that turned out to be a little more attractive for Europe, although, as they say: the taste and color... The European version of the Toyota Corolla 2014 is designed in the corporate style, the designers did not go too far and left the same lines, already familiar to everyone from previous models .

The new Toyota Corolla 2014 is characterized by headlights extending onto the wings of the headlights, which, in combination with the high-cheekbone front of the car, looks more than attractive. The wheel arches are quite powerful, so even 16-inch alloy wheels are somewhat lost.

In order to keep up with new trends, the developers raised the glazing line slightly and completed it with a touch on the rear door. This gave the car some massiveness, but at the same time had a bad effect on visibility. The rear of the car came out a little heavy; the car looks much more massive in appearance than it actually is.

Although, despite some shortcomings, comparing the new car with its previous generations, we can conclude that the developers have stepped far forward.

Interior

No less radical changes have taken place in the interior of the car. A new design ideology also emerged here. In general, the interior turned out to be a little specific, which may cause differing opinions.

The feeling of spaciousness in the cabin is created by a high dashboard, but it is precisely this space that deprives passengers and the driver of a feeling of comfort and coziness. The interior uses a lot of gloss and plastic.

All elements in the cabin are located quite familiarly for those who are already familiar with other Toyota Corolla cars.

A niche for phones, cup holders, pockets on the doors, a box inside the armrest - all this and much more is done for the maximum convenience of those who are in this car. The seats in the car are very comfortable. The back row of seats is also not deprived of space.

Climate control, cruise control, rear view camera - all this is aimed at making the car comfortable and safe.

Specifications

There is only one diesel engine option, its volume is 1.4 liters. The car will also be available with petrol engines, volumes of 1.3 liters, 1.6 liters, and 1.8 liters. The car will have a six-speed manual transmission, with the option of installing a CVT.

In general, the driver feels comfortable on the road. If we test the 1.6-liter naturally aspirated version, the results are generally not bad.

The car is equipped with a Multidrive variator, which promises us a sporty driving mode; it can be activated using a specially dedicated button on the central tunnel. The car drives quietly, but not as fast as many would like.

The variator, trying to maintain speed, takes away the torque power from the engine, therefore it is unlikely that you will be able to organize races in this car, and a calm, leisurely ride is exactly what the new 2014 Toyota Corolla will provide you with.

Review of the new generation of the Toyota Corolla 2014 model

The premiere of the updated European version of Toyota Corolla 11 will take place a little later. The Japanese manufacturer made it clear what the new 2014 car would look like back at the Detroit Auto Show in January 2013, showing the Toyota Furia concept sedan.

A concept is one thing and, of course, a real car ready for mass production is completely different. We would like to note right away that there is practically nothing left conceptual in the exterior design of the new Toyota Corolla.

Readers can verify this fact for themselves by comparing the appearance of the Toyota Furia and the new 2014 Toyota Corolla using photo and video materials posted in the review. For our part, we will try to talk in detail about the exterior and interior of the new car, filling the interior with options that provide comfort, entertainment and safety for passengers, and technical characteristics.

When changing generations of a company's model range, it is customary to compare models with each other; we will remain true to tradition. Compared to the previous 10th generation Toyota Corolla sedan with its dull appearance, the new car looks modern, sporty and exciting.

The designers tried to make the updated Toyota Corolla sedan with the most assertive and charismatic appearance, which was so lacking in the previous generation of the model.

A quick glance at the car body is enough to see the design solutions previously used in the form of Toyota Auris , 4th generation Toyota RAV4 and Toyota Avalon .

The new 2014 Toyota Corolla for the American and European markets looks very significantly different from each other. And in our opinion, a car for Europe will look more harmonious, and even, if you like, aggressive, due to the stylish design of the front and rear parts of the body with larger headlights and side lights. Let's consider both options.

The American version of the 11th generation Toyota Corolla: compact headlights (with LED low beam lamps and LED daytime running lights in the initial configuration) and a narrow slot in the false radiator grille stylishly and organically complement the huge bumper with a large trapezoidal air intake and aerodynamic features like a real sports car. The new 2014 Toyota Corolla sedan looks simple but assertive, purposeful and aggressive from the front.

New Toyota Corolla 2014 for Europe with large beautiful headlights (of course with LED daytime running lights and low beam headlights), with a stylish slot in the false radiator grille, decorated with three chrome strips. Powerful bumper body with a compact air intake, striking splitter and aerodynamic skirt.

The side surfaces of the body, on the contrary, are devoid of aggression and caress the eye with pleasant and smooth lines - regular radii of wheel arches, ideally shaped doorways, handles for a natural grip, emphasized by a stylish stamped rib.

A three-volume sedan body with a falling hood line, an almost flat roof and a neat, compact stern, decorated with the splendor of the rear fenders of the wheel arches.

The car's profile may lack sporty notes, but it looks solid and representative.

The rear of the sedan once again brings us back to the image of a sporty, gambling and assertive model. A powerful rear bumper with characteristic ribs that continue the radii of the arches, stylish headlights decorate the rear and trunk lid with flourishes. The rear of the European version of the sedan is decorated with large shades of side lamps. From behind, the new Toyota Corolla sedan looks very impressive and original.

We can safely give 5 points to Japanese designers; the appearance of the car is excellent. Despite the increase in the overall dimensions of the body, the new product looks compact and assembled compared to its predecessor, and the dimensions have increased significantly.

The length increased to 4639 mm, width to 1776 mm, the wheelbase increased by as much as 100 mm to 2700 mm, and only the height became smaller - 1455 mm.
No matter how hard the aerodynamicists tried, the drag indicators for the air flow of the new Corolla remained at the level of the previous model and amounted to 0.28 Cx.
Depending on the level of equipment and the installed engine, the new Corolla is equipped with steel wheels of 15 radius with tires 195/65 R15 or alloy wheels of size 16-17 with tires 205/55 R16, 205/50 R17 or 215/50 R17.

The interior design of the new 2014 Toyota Corolla sedan exactly repeats the interior decoration of the 2nd generation Toyota Auris hatchback. The interior of the American and European versions does not differ from each other. This is how the interior will be in cars sold in Russia, so let’s look around and get acquainted with the interior.

Comfortable steering wheel with optimal radius and rim thickness, telescopic adjustment of the steering column, strict and informative instruments with two radii of the speedometer and tachometer, 3.5-inch black and white TFT multifunctional on-board computer screen, competent placement of a 6.1-inch color touch screen (audio system, navigation) and air conditioning or climate control unit. The heated front seats are fairly simple in shape without much lateral support, but they are comfortable and provide comfortable back support. The seats are now installed lower, and the range of longitudinal adjustment has been increased by 15 mm.

The design of the front dashboard and center console is restrained and clearly does not correspond to the sporty appearance of the car, but the quality of materials, the level of interior assembly and ergonomics are at a high level. Everything is simple, functional, strictly and well organized.

In the second row, thanks to the wheelbase increased by 10 cm and the installation of first-row seats with thinner backrests, three adult passengers are provided with more free legroom.

Compared to the previous generation of the model, the increase in interior length is 75 mm, so the rear is spacious. The designers also managed to reduce the height of the tunnel on the floor.

The backrest of the rear sofa folds in a ratio of 40:60, which allows you to significantly increase the cargo capacity of the 452-liter trunk.

According to Toyota representatives, the sound insulation of the interior and engine compartment has been significantly improved. A thicker windshield is installed, the carpet on the floor has become thicker and denser, and better sound-absorbing protection is used for the wheel arches, underbody, hood and front panel of the body.

Toyota Corolla 2014

Toyota is releasing the eleventh generation of the popular compact sedan Corolla 2014 , which has become larger and much nicer in appearance, has a more spacious interior and economical engines, including an ECO version with exceptionally modest fuel consumption.

Toyota Corolla (2014)

For almost five decades on the roads, the Corolla has found a huge number of fans, and sales in total have exceeded 40 million cars. However, many critics considered the 10th generation of 2011 not modern in design and modest in equipment. The new product has overcome its shortcomings and is being released with a true desire to continue the success story of such a popular model.

Design

At the annual January auto show in North America, the Japanese presented the Corolla Furia Concept concept car - a car that became the prototype of the new generation Corolla 2014.

More voluminous shapes of the wheel arches, a sporty, swift profile with a sloping roof and a raised trunk give the sedan elegant and dynamic features that will definitely appeal to fans of the legendary model.

The increase in usable space in the cabin, including for the legs of rear passengers, is facilitated by increased dimensions, shorter overhangs and a 2.7-meter wheelbase that has added 100 millimeters. In the volumetric arches, wheels can be installed with both 15-inch steel and 17-inch alloy wheels, and in addition, the buyer has a choice of three new body paint colors.

Interior

Inside the car, the developer has done its best to offer buyers a quieter interior with high-quality, soft-touch materials, including metallic and gloss black accents.

For the North American market, comfort levels vary with four available trim levels—L, LE, LE Eco, and S—all of which boast wireless Bluetooth for phone connectivity and audio streaming, and eight airbags. , air conditioning, electric windows and LED headlights.

Some of the systems available on the new 2014 Corolla are:

audio with touch controls;
keyless entry;
starting the engine with a button;
electrically operated panoramic sunroof;
rear spoiler;
Possibility of installing steering column shift switches.

Engines

In the American car market, the new car is powered by a 1.8-liter 4-cylinder gasoline engine that develops 132 horsepower for the L, LE and S versions, and 140 horsepower for the LE Eco, where technology contributes Valvematic (smart variable valve timing), improved aerodynamics, wheels with reduced rolling resistance and a new generation CVTi-S continuously variable transmission.

A six-speed manual transmission is available as standard, and the LE Eco and top-of-the-line S (with CVT) have a choice of preset drive modes that allow you to change settings for engine power, steering and CVT logic. In addition, the 2014 Corolla S features steering-wheel-mounted gearshift paddles and an additional sport mode.

The European and American versions differ not only in appearance, where changes are noticeable in the headlights, bumpers, but also in engines. In Europe, the choice was expanded to 1.3-liter 99-horsepower and 1.6-liter 122-horsepower engines, and the transmission alternative offered in the USA in the form of a 4-speed automatic was considered unnecessary for the Old World.

In addition, European buyers have the choice of an efficient 1.4-liter diesel engine, the modest fuel consumption of which is only 3.8 l/100 km - an impressive figure made possible thanks to systems such as Start-Stop and energy recovery.
