Toyota is intending to give Corolla a mid-generation facelift, with the latest version expected to arrive in Japan this October with minor cosmetic and technology improvements.
The redesigned Corolla series will coincide with the GR Corolla hatchback, which is also anticipated to be launched later this year.
The current Corolla (12th generation) was released in 2018, and while the sales of Toyota’s compact model seem to be solid, an upgrade will be perfect to keep up with the demand. It is noteworthy that its rivals such as VW Golf and Honda Civic have gotten new generation models since the Corolla was debuted.
Exterior
The exterior of the facelifted Corolla will not be altered significantly, according to Creative Trend, and the only changes will be new headlamps and rear lights, as well as a modified grille and an enhanced color scheme.
Apart from the Corolla Hatchback, Corolla Touring Sports will receive similar treatment and the sedan will be designed differently according to the target market.
Interior
Consumers want technology nowadays, and given that the majority of competing cars in the compact market offer digital cockpits, it is logical for Toyota to follow suit. The Corolla is currently available with both a 4.2-inch and a 7-inch instrument cluster display. Although its size will be increased to 12.3-inches, much like the European Corolla Cross.
The latter has also incorporated a 10.5-inch infotainment touchscreen that will complement the enhanced CPU featured in the smaller 8-inch touchscreen displays of the European 2022 Toyota Corolla, which can also update over-the-air now.
Engine
As for the powertrain, Japanese media believes that the naturally aspirated 1.8-liter engine will be replaced by the 1.5-liter from the Yaris, while it will continue to be used in the Hybrid drivetrain. The currently used turbocharged 1.2-liter petrol, 1.8-liter hybrid, and 2.0-liter hybrid engines will be offered as well. Furthermore, additional features may be introduced to the default Toyota Safety Sense suite.
As nothing has been officially or directly announced by the automaker, it is likely to upgrade the Corolla for 2023, considering the recently redesigned Corolla Cross.
Corolla is undoubtedly Toyota’s most successful vehicle, with over 50 million sales in 12 generations between 1966 and 2021, making it a key model for the Japanese auto giant.
