The new Corolla comes with EPS for the first time

You meant, ESP, right?

Ok, here's the snaps. Apologize poor image quality - was a bit rushed this morning and didn't want to drag my DSLR, so took them with my cam phone. Resized them for your convenience.

front looks better than current Corolla, i prefer Civic tho.

Rear aint bad either

rear leg space "felt" smaller than Indian version. could be just my feel. I put a laptop here for comparison. Hope it helps.

Speedo & Tacho

The whole shebang

Curtain airbags. I have a feeling these will be dropped when it comes to india.

No rear armrest! will be there for Indian version for sure.

side by side with a sonata embera. A bad snap meant corolla is cut by half, so actual purpose was lost (size comparo)

Okie, thats all. Karan - hope that helps. Do let me know by today if you need snaps from any other angle. Will return this one on Saturday and pick up a new Accord/Camry V6 instead. Why-o-why don't the company give me an Infinity Coupe!

karanraheja · 24th April 2008, 22:06

Skywalker - Thanks a ton for the pics ! I somehow dont like the rear of the New Corolla.Interiors look decent . Shall wait for more pics on Saturday of the Accord

funkydevil · 24th April 2008, 22:19

glad to be of help dude! I am not so sure if i will get the new Accord. The lady in Hertz told me she will try her best to give me the new one - else i will have to do with an prev model of Accord/Camry. I am flashing her my best smiles to make sure she tries her best too

take a look at these pics, taken from the official thailand market corolla brochure.
what you see is what you get in India in the 1.8 litre version coming these august.

Interion design looks more or less of SX4

I Agree, It looks more of a SX4 and Grand vitara touch

Looks good from the outside. However, the interiors are simple and nothing exciting about them, especially the instrument cluster. Btw is the temperature gauge next to the tacho? IMO, the current Corollas interiors are much better.
Thanks for sharing the pics skywalker.

I'm sorry - didn't check if there was a temp. gauge - will check wheni go out. Or are you talking about that orange LED next to speedo?

@skywalker: The car looks great in red. Thanks for the pictures.

ST7677 · 25th April 2008, 00:56

Yawn...! Boring...

I was expecting that Toyota will take a leaf or two out of it's arch competitor and come up with a better design. However this would not hold a candle against Civic.

Looks like a pretty confused design to me... I am disappointed.
