TOYOTA REVEALS BOLD NEW COROLLA!

accreditation

Uber drivers and government workers everywhere rejoice! There's a new Toyota Corolla on the way.

Toyota has unveiled the 12-generation of their most successful car.

Toyota has sold more than 46 million Corollas since it was first unveiled in 1966.

Although Toyota says that they worked to ensure that the new cars are "eye-catching and fun to both ride in and drive." Toyota hasn't forgotten why millions of people buy the thing; reliability!

People don't go out and buy Corollas for their good looks and sporty driving dynamics, they buy them because they work and they are reliable.

The new Corolla is based on Toyota's New Global Architecture (TNGA).

The platform has the daunting task of making the Corolla fun to drive and yet still be safe, smooth and comfortable.

Toyota knows that in today’s world it's not only about sporty driving and looks, it's also about the gadgets that cars come with.

Yoshiki Konishi, chief engineer of the models said that they worked on not only enhancing the fun factors that are unique to their cars but "connectivity" functions to create new value.

"I wanted to make this new model a car that enriches mobility for customers around the world," he said.

So that's why you see things like the new touchscreen display which looks like it just landed on the dash, and the designers were like yeah, we'll leave it right there!

But the interior looks nice and simple not too flashy like a Toyota should. In the US that screen will get Apple CarPlay and even Amazon Alexa integration.

No word yet on what style of Toyota we getting, see the one featured in the pictures is the European car in Prestige spec, it’s the one we most likely to get.

But we might get a car with a different styling. And it is the same thing with the drivetrains. We do not know what versions we'll be getting in South Africa. But there's a new 2.0-litre Dynamic Force Engine, available with either a Direct Shift-CVT or 6-speed manual transmission.

There'll be a whole host of hybrid powertrains being offered, but again we don't know which version we getting.

The new Toyota Corolla should be making its way to our shores in the first half of 2019.
