Toyota Corolla
Review
Holding the title of the world's best-selling car for years, the Toyota Corolla has undergone a technological evolution with its facelifted 12th generation without compromising its conservative design. The design language does not contain radical changes; it makes itself known on the roads with sharper LED headlights and a renewed grille structure. Looking through a journalist's eyes, the Corolla has never been a car that accelerates hearts; it has always been the first choice of the ratito himl mind seeking "trouble-free operation." For someone constantly on the roads in the sales and real estate world, the fact that it yields no surprises when the ignition is pressed in the morning is its greatest luxury.
Mechanically, Toyota, the brand least liked by workshops (because it doesn't break down), has transitioned to its 5th generation hybrid system. The 1.8-liter naturally aspirated engine and the renewed lighter, more powerful electric motor combine to produce 140 horsepower. This formerly sluggish chassis now reaches 0 to 100 in 9.3 seconds with the new lithium-ion battery and improved software of the e-CVT. Gliding solely on the electric motor in stop-and-go city traffic brings fuel consumption down to the 4-4.5 liter ranges, seriously protecting your wallet. Inside, the new 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and 10.5-inch multimedia screen have significantly increased the feeling of quality. The 471-liter trunk meets standard family needs.
Pros
- Unmoneylleled durability and low maintenance costs
- Incredible economy of the 5th generation hybrid system in the city
- Improved digital screens and renewed multimedia interface
Cons
- Plain and unexciting exterior design compared to rivals
- Engine noise reflecting into the cabin from the e-CVT transmission at high revs
