| ![]() For God's sake Toyota, please give the new corolla a bigger diesel engine which it deserves. Very few are going to pay 18L+ for a 1.4L 90ps engine. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() The 2014 Toyota Corolla has been spotted testing in India, strengthening the idea of an early release in 2014. Here are couple of spy shots shared by ACI. ![]() ![]() Unveiled in June in Europe, the India spec version is likely to be the same as the one sold in Europe. The current 138bhp 1.8-litre petrol and the 87bhp 1.4-litre diesel should march on with minor tweaks. The petrol variant would be mated either to a 6-speed manual or a 7-step CVT gearbox while the diesel engine is available only with the manual gearbox.

| ![]() Nope. Corolla comes with 1.8 L gasoline and 1.4 L Diesel engines. The diesel is same as Liva/Etios but with VGT instead of FGT. |

| ![]() Agree with everybody's opinion on the Diesel engine. The engine needs to be atleast a 1.8 unit with punchy performance. And the car has to be loaded to the brim with goodies. Toyota needs to learn from the Hyundai fluidic Verna about providing the features. |

| ![]() This attitude of Toyota disgusts me. The Indian Corolla gets only 2 airbags as opposed to the American version that gets 6, not viable due to costs/scale, accepted. But having the same engine for both C & D segment sedans just doesn't cut the cake. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() I saw the heavily disguised car doing the rounds in Indira Nagar today evening. It was flanked in the front by a Corolla Altis and followed by a T Fort. Though I could not click the pictures of the interior, it looked quite plush when I passed the car. Please see the photos ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by Rehaan : 17th September 2013 at 12:31.

Hope Toyota doesn't skip on safety features on new Corolla. Last edited by Nitrous Power : 15th September 2013 at 22:40. | |

| ![]() From whatever I could make out from the contours of the car, the exterior looks of the car, kind of look similar to the camry. Both the front and the rear. Anybody else felt the same ? |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() 2014 Toyota Corolla rated 'marginal' in IIHS crash test. The Toyota Corolla, despite a full redesign for 2014, failed to fare well enough on a tough, new crash test to receive honors from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The overhauled compact Corolla received a "marginal" score on the IIHS's small overlap test, which simulates a 40 mph crash where the driver-side corner of a car strikes an object like a utility pole, tree, or oncoming car The Corolla, as a result, will not qualify for any IIHS honors in 2014, when an "acceptable" or "good" score on the small overlap test will become a prerequisite for either Top Safety Pick or Top Safety Pick+ honors The IIHS said the crash test results exposed several potential dangers with the car. The corner of the car crumpled into the driver's space, raising the chance of lower-leg injuries. The dummy's head rolled to the left, off of the airbag, which can cause a head injury if a real driver's head strikes the A-pillar or dashboard. The good news for Toyota, was that the side curtain airbag in the Corolla deployed and provided enough protection to the dummy's head http://www.autonews.com/article/2013...#axzz2giOLRBUa |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() ^ From the article, it looks like the 'small overlap test' is the bane for new Toyota and a lot of other cars. The Merc C does better and so does the Civic. Quote:
