While the current year has been pretty bad for the local auto industry due to the corona virus pandemic, there might be some good news with pictures going viral of a new Toyota Corolla being road-tested in Pakistan. This comes soon after the company launched the Yaris in the local market.
It is the new 12th generation model. The new model is based on the company’s global platform called the TNGA, “Toyota New Global Architecture.”
It is highly likely that the new model will follow the same styling as the one found in the Asian market but the headlights may vary with the projector headlamps as standard but the headlight has a double or triple DRL wrap around the housing.
