Toyota Corolla (E170)

The E170/E180 series Toyota Corolla is the eleventh-generation of the Corolla that has been sold internationally since 2013. Two basic front and rear styling treatments are fitted to the E170—a North American version that debuted first—and a more conservative design for all other markets that debuted later in 2013. For the Japanese and Hong Kong markets, the smaller and unrelated E160 model is offered instead; the Japanese version remains compliant with Japanese government dimension regulations. The E170/E180 has an increased wheelbase of 100 mm longer than the previous generation. The E170/E180 derives from the Toyota New MC platform, unlike the E160 based on the B platform.

International E170 version

Asia
India

The Corolla Altis was available in India from April 2014 in two engine forms, in petrol and diesel engines. The 1.8-litre 2ZR-FE is powered by petrol and the 1.4-litre (1364 cc) D-4D engine with variable Nozzle turbo and intercooler is powered by diesel.[5] It gets 60/40 reclining rear seats, rain-sensing wipers, eight-way power adjustable seat with lumbar support, LED headlamps and 16-inch alloys on the top-end GL and VL variants, with all variants receiving LED taillamps.[6][7]

Toyota shutdown the production in 31 March 2020 due to declining sales and did not engineer to meet the Bharat Stage 6 emission standards which came into effect in April. As such, the E210 model would not be introduced to India, making the E170 model as the last Corolla Altis model to be sold in the country.[8][9]

Indonesia

Indonesia was the first ASEAN country to get the new Corolla Altis, released on 8 January 2014.[10] Unlike the previous generation, it was released with the 1.8-litre Dual VVT-i engine only, the 2.0-litre Dual VVT-i engine was withdrawn due to small sales.[11] Only 2 variants are offered, the 1.8 G manual transmission and the 1.8 V automatic transmission.

Malaysia
2014 Corolla Altis 2.0 G (ZRE173, Malaysia)

In Malaysia, the Corolla Altis was launched in January 2014 and came in three variant forms, the baseline 1.8 E, the 2.0 G and the range-topping 2.0 V. All three variants come with CVT transmission with seven-speed sports sequential shift.[12] In November 2014, the 2.0 G was replaced with the 1.8 G.[13] In December 2016, the facelift model was launched with seven airbags, ABS with EBD and brake assist, vehicle stability control and ISOFIX rear child seat anchors as standard equipment.[14] In September 2017, the range was updated with DVR dash cam, 360-degree Panoramic View Monitor and additional USB ports.[15]

Pakistan

The eleventh generation Corolla was launched in July 2014 in Pakistan. As of September 2014, a total of five trim levels were being sold; XLi 1.3L Manual, GLi 1.3L (with option of both automatic and manual transmission), Altis 1.6L (automatic only), Altis 1.8L and Altis Grande 1.8L. Pakistan is among the few countries in which the 1.3-litre variant is offered.

Corolla XLi and GLi 1.3L (E170) are having 2NZ-FE VVT-i mated with either 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission, Corolla Altis 1.6L (E171) is having 1ZR-FE Dual VVT-i engine with mated 4-speed automatic transmission, Corolla Altis 1.8L or Altis Grande 1.8L (E172) is having 2ZR-FE Dual VVT-i with the choice of 6-speed manual or 7-speed CVT-i.

Toyota Pakistan upgraded the features of whole Corolla's lineup in April 2016, with the most features being offered in the top spot variant known as Corolla Altis Grande. Some of the features of Altis Grande 1.8L were CVT-i, automatic air conditioning with climate control, immobilizer anti-theft system, jack knife key, WOW meter, sunroof, 16-inches Hyper Black alloy wheels, leather interior with bucket seats, 8-inch Android infotainment system, multimedia steering keys, driver + passenger SRS airbags, auto-fold outdoor rear view mirrors (ORVM), 6:4 rear reclining seats, body colored mud flaps, etc.[16] Toyota Pakistan introduced the facelifted version in August 2017.

Philippines

The Corolla Altis was first released in the country in early 2014, with five trims available. The entry-level 1.6 E model only came with a six-speed manual transmission, four-beam halogen headlamps, fabric upholstery, and 16-inch alloy wheels. The mid-range 1.6 G model added TVSS and fog lights and was available in six-speed manual or seven-speed continuously-variable transmission. The 1.6 V featured a push starter and cornering sensors, and the high-end 2.0 V added LED headlamps with DRLs, paddle shifters, rain sensing wipers, leather seats, 17-inch alloy wheels, and sport body kit. A minor update for the Altis was later released in December 2016. All variants were now equipped with DRLs and updated safety features such as 7 airbags, ABS and EBD. 1.6 variants were still equipped with 4 lamp halogen headlights, beige interior and the 2.0 variant gained projected HID headlamps, wrap around bodykits and leather interior.

Singapore
Corolla Elegance (Singapore; pre-facelift)

The new Corolla Altis was available from 10 January 2014 offering only with the 1.6-litre 1ZR-FE engine with Dual VVT-i mated to a 7-speed Sequential transmission with Super CVT-i. Initially offered as a single trim, the line up was split into Classic and Elegance trims with the former using multi-reflector headlamps and comes with 16-inch rims, the latter adds LED headlamps with DRLs, keyless entry with push button start, auto-dimming rear view mirror, ionizer for the climate control and 17-inch alloy wheels. In mid 2017, the facelift model was launched, with Eco, Standard and Elegance trims. Safety features such as seven airbags, ABS with EBD and brake assist, Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) were standard across all trims. The Eco trim which had 15” alloy rims, leather seats and does without fog lamps was later removed from the lineup after a short period since the facelift introduction.

Japanese-market E160 models (Axio and Fielder estate) were also available and sold by grey market importers.

Taiwan

The new generation Corolla was marketed as the "Corolla Altis" (used in Southeast Asian markets and some parts of Asia). This generation had an overall redesigned look for the Asian market setting it apart from the American market. The Corolla Altis was only available with a 1.8-litre Dual VVT-i 2ZR-FE engine with variants such as the Classic, 1.8E Deluxe, Elegance and 1.8 Z.[17] In 2015, an additional sportier version was added to the lineup with the Corolla Altis X moniker. Designed and sold exclusively in Taiwan, the model featured a redesigned front bumper heavily influenced by the 2014 North American Camry facelift, a redesigned lower rear bumper, side skirts, clear tail lamps, and spoilers. In October 2016, the facelift model was launched, with Eco, Standard and Elegance trims. Safety features such as seven airbags, ABS with EBD and brake assist, Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) were standard across all trims.

On 21 September 2017, the updated Corolla Altis X was launched, with the similar front bumper design as the updated Chinese market Levin.[18]

Thailand

Thailand continued to manufacture the Corolla, and the new version was launched as the Corolla Altis in a total of seven grades (J, E, G and V), as well as a special edition grade (E Sport). Thailand was the only country to offers all existing grades of the new Altis, whilst export markets were only given a fraction of the Thai range in varying combinations.

Unlike most markets in Southeast Asia, CNG powered grades were offered for the 1.6-litre variants of the Corolla Altis. A special edition grade (E Sport) was also offered only in Thailand which comes with an aerodynamic bodykit including a rear spoiler, sport seats and 17-inch multi-spoke alloys.[19]

Grades available for the Corolla Altis in Thailand vary from the basic 1.6J to the high spec 1.8V Navi model.

Australia and New Zealand

Toyota in Australia and New Zealand launched the E170 series Corolla saloon in late February 2014. An equivalent hatchback model is also retailed under the Corolla nameplate, but this is actually a rebadged E180 Auris released earlier in 2012. For the saloon version, which was imported from Thailand, there were three different variants: the base Ascent, the mid range SX model, and the flagship ZR. The Corolla saloon and hatchback (Auris) were together in 2014 the top selling car in Australia.[20]

International E180 version

China

Toyota would sell two versions of the E180 Corolla in China, the international version, called the FAW-Toyota Corolla, which is similar in appearance to the Corolla Altis, and the Guangqi-Toyota Levin, which sports a design closer to the North American version, but is still a separate design (see below).[26] In October 2015, Toyota introduced the Corolla hybrid variant in China with locally produced hybrid systems.[27] Production for the Corolla E180 commenced in June 2014 for the 2015 model year. Engine and transmission choices available are the 1.6 litre 1ZR-FE and 1.8 litre 2ZR-FE paired with 5 speed manual or continuously variable transmissions. The Levin also shares these engines and transmissions.

In 2017, both versions of the Corolla in China received a facelift and a 1.2-litre 9NR-FTS turbocharged engine. The FAW-Toyota Corolla also had the old 1.6-litre engine as an option but the Levin dropped the 1.6-litre engine. The plug-in hybrid variants of both the Corolla and the Levin are still available for purchase as of December 2020.[28][29]

South Africa

In South Africa, the E180 Corolla was launched on 7 February 2014 with a choice of three petrol engines (1.3-, 1.6- and 1.8-litre) and a 1.4-litre D-4D diesel engine. All engines are mated to a standard six-speed manual transmission while a CVT is available for the 1.6- and 1.8-litre variants. Trim levels are the base Esteem, the mid-level Prestige, the sporty Sprinter and the top-of-the-line Exclusive.[30] The facelifted version of the E180 Corolla went on sale on 25 January 2017.[31] The facelifted E180 Corolla retained the pre-facelift model tail lamps for the Esteem trim and the Sprinter trim was discontinued. The E180 Corolla is still currently produced and sold in South Africa as the Corolla Quest, which was revealed on 31 January 2020 and released in March 2020.[32]

Europe

In February 2014, Toyota introduced the Corolla E180 in Germany, western Europe's largest national automobile market.[34] This marked the return of the "Corolla" badge to Germany after an absence of seven years[34] (although the previous Corolla E140 was sold in some smaller European markets, such as Belgium). The line-up includes a 1.4-litre D-4D turbodiesel and petrol engines ranging from a 1.33-litre Dual VVT-i engine, a 1.6-litre engine available with Dual VVT-i and Valvematic system, and a new 1.8-litre Dual VVT-i engine.

The 1.8-litre Dual VVT-i petrol engine is fitted as standard with a new Multidrive S automatic transmission. All other engines in the line-up are fitted with six-speed manual transmissions.

North American version (E170)
Corolla LE (ZRE172, US)
Corolla S with different grille (ZRE172, US)

The North American Corolla is very similar to the international version, except for offering revised front and rear styling. This design was adopted from the Furia concept. North American models were announced first on June 6, 2013; European models, announced the day after, differed mostly outside with their front-end treatment. The engines were closely related to the previous models, with only slight improvements in performance and emissions.

The eleventh generation Corolla falls under North America's compact car market segment, and it is offered in four grades, L, LE, LE Eco and S. The Corolla is a perennially top-selling model[35] in North America, and the world.[36] Many of the changes in the new model were inherited from Toyota's Furia concept car, with the most striking difference from the previous generation being mostly cosmetic. Toyota focused on fuel efficiency with this new design, while continuing the longstanding trend of increasing size and weight.

The Corolla manufactured in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada has about 25 percent of its parts coming from Japan.[37]

Two, four-cylinder engines are available, the 1.8-litre 2ZR-FE with 132 horsepower (98 kW), and a Valvematic equipped 2ZR-FAE offered on the new "Eco" trim, providing 140 horsepower (100 kW). The Corolla will be available with a four-speed automatic, six-speed manual, or Toyota's new CVTi-S Continuously-Variable Transmission.[38]

Stylistic elements of this generation of the Corolla were previewed in the Furia concept car shown at the January 2013 Detroit Auto Show. Hints of the swept windshield and sloped roofline suggest the brand will follow the industry trend toward raked rear ends and more aerodynamic body shapes. It is also likely that the elements such as the LED lighting seen on the concept will make it into the next Corolla's design.[39]

Many design cues were inherited from the Furia concept car;[40]

  • Underbody and floor pan bracing help improve the Corolla platform's structural rigidity.[41]
  • High-strength steel, extensive testing and computer simulation have helped produce a highly rigid unibody that provides superior safety for its occupants.[41]
  • Efforts to reduce wind resistance have helped the new Corolla achieve a drag coefficient of Cd=0.28(LE Eco only[42]), which places it near the top of the compact-saloon class.[41]
  • The LE Eco trim has improved aerodynamics.[3]

The E170 Corolla model uses an electric powersteering system offering improved directness and weight. The components of the tilt, telescopic steering structure have been upgraded to improve rigidity and reduce vibration. There are 3.2 turns lock to lock.

The brakes are a 275 mm (10.8 in) ventilated front disc, and a 229 mm (9.0 in) rear drum with the option of a 259 mm (10.2 in) solid rear disc on the S trim. It features Toyota's Star Safety System as standard, including Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control (TRAC), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist. Smart Stop Technology brake override system is also included standard, as well as an electronic tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS).[41]

The standard wheels on the L and LE Eco grades are 15-inch covered steel, with 16-inch wheels on the LE and S. Different 16-inch aluminum alloy wheels are offered on the LE, and LE Eco, and 17-inch alloy wheels are offered on the S. The tire on the LE Eco are low rolling resistance 195/65R-15 rubber. The S 17-inch option offers 215/45R-17 rubber. For the LE, and on the alloy option for the LE Eco model, a 205/55R-16 tire is used.

  • longer wheelbase of 2,700 mm (106.3 in)[3]
  • 15-, 16-, 17-inch steel and alloy wheels[3]

Toyota's new Corolla offers two engine selections, both all aluminium, 1.8-litre inline four cylinder engines. With the exception of the LE Eco trim, the 1.8-litre engine is equipped with dual Intelligent VVT-i variable valve timing, producing 98 kW (132 hp). The LE Eco model has a 104 kW (140 hp) engine featuring Toyota's Valvematic option, which improves the Eco model's fuel efficiency. Valvematic offers a broader range of continuously variable valve timing (lift and phasing) over VVT-i, providing more optimal intake valve (not on exhaust side) operation relative to engine demands conferring a five-percent improvement in fuel economy and engine output.[3][41] The Eco model's engine also has an increased compression ratio of 10.6:1.[43]

The base model Corolla L is offered with a four-speed automatic transmission or a six-speed manual transmission. The six-speed manual is also available in the Corolla S.

  • A six-speed manual transmission is available on the Corolla L and S grades. Drive modes that offer re-calibrated throttle, transmission and steering responses are available on the Corolla LE Eco and Corolla S. For ECO drive mode on the LE Eco, the initial throttle inputs are less sensitive to help encourage more fuel-efficient driving and eliminate sudden starts. On the S grade, the SPORT mode software helps make the accelerator pedal feel more responsive to input along with CVTi-S shifting logic that enhances acceleration feel. In sport mode, Corolla's electronic power steering is programmed to offer a more positive steering feel.[3]
  • The unibody makes extensive use of lightweight, high-strength steel to help keep vehicle weight below 2,900 pounds in the interest of fuel economy. In addition to improved collision performance, such construction also gives the Corolla's structure increased rigidity to optimize chassis and suspension performance, giving the new car a more responsive and engaging driving experience.[3]

Toyota is offering a new Continuously Variable Transmission on the LE, LE Eco and S trims, which they claim is more smooth, and improves fuel efficiency, named the CVTi-S (Continuously Variable Transmission intelligent-shift). The diameter ratio between small and large internal pulleys has been increased without increasing the unit's case size achieving a ratio range of 6.3, improving fuel efficiency and acceleration.[41] Its forward gear ratio range is from 0.396 to 2.480 and it has a 4.761 final drive ratio. A transmission fluid warmer was added, reducing warm-up time, and lower viscosity CVT fluid improves efficiency. Its new fluid pump reduces parasitic loss at high speeds. The transmission's software creates discrete sequential shift points to emulate traditional transmissions while accelerating. The S trim offers a manual-mode shift gate in the console shifter, or paddle shifters on the steering wheel allowing sequential "shifts" through 7 speeds, addressing complaints that earlier pulley-type CVTs had a "rubber band" feel when accelerating because of the lag as the transmission entered its power band.[3]

Typical CVT designs require a high level of hydraulic pressure for operation, and CVT hydraulic-fluid pumps are typically driven at the same rate as engine speed, leading to pumps wasting considerable effort, lowering transmission efficiency at higher engine speeds as the pump moves more fluid than necessary to lubricate and sandwich the CVT's belt. Hydraulic pressure was reduced to an optimal point to protect against belt slippage, while conserving drive effort to limit excess pumping losses in the new design; also, the oil pump features a coaxial 2-port design that enables a 25-percent reduction in pump drive torque, lowering its parasitic draw on the engine.[3][41]

On the LE Eco, the transmission has an ECO driving mode. The ECO driving mode makes accelerator control become non-linear to suppress the vehicle's response to choppy driving and contain acceleration from standing start to reduce fuel consumption. The accelerator pedal's communication is the same as Normal mode after 50-percent throttle. The air conditioning operation is also controlled, with compressor power reduced, and the utilization of recirculation mode, as well as increasing the time to reach a desired temperature.[3][41]

2015 Toyota Corolla S (ZRE172)
Interior

The S trim offers a SPORT mode with software tuning that alters shift points along with unique electric power steering programming, helping create a sportier driving sensation during normal road and freeway driving. S trim models with CVTi-S have steering wheel mounted paddle shifters, while the console shifter also offers a manual gate (M-position) that also allows drivers to make brisk upshifts or downshifts using the shift lever. An appropriate shift will automatically be engaged if the engine revolutions become high enough or down shifted if they become low enough.[3][41]

The front suspension uses Macpherson struts with a new, more rigid control-arm design, while the rear uses a torsion beam arrangement. The spring rates on Corolla are relaxed, but the S model equipped with 17-inch wheels includes unique coil, damper, and bushing tuning to offering stiffer handling. The rear torsion beam's attachments points are now fastened to the body at a slanted, diagonal angle for its bushings, a departure from the traditional straight attachment orientation; the new layout contributes improves grip, and stability.

The unibody has been made more rigid, featuring additional unibody bracing (tunnel brace and rear floor brace) to complement suspension tuning. It makes extensive use of high-strength steel to improve the rigidity of the structure, keeping vehicle curb weight under 2,900 pounds for all grades. High tensile-strength steel allows for reduced thickness and optimized shape of structural panels and increases strength to improve collision performance. Corolla is expected to perform very well in collision safety ratings test.[3][41]

  • First compact car with standard LED lowbeam headlamps[3]
  • Vehicle under covers help reduce turbulent airflow; the rear spare wheel well has an under cover with fins.[41]
  • Both the LE Eco grade and S grade offer strategically placed vehicle under covers located below the bumper fascia, engine, front floor, rear floor, and fuel tank to help manage airflow under the vehicle for improved efficiency.[41]
  • Additional leg-room was gained by adopting a slim front seat back. The rear passenger floor was also made flatter by re-routing exhaust pipes beneath the vehicle to offer better middle position foot room. Rear seat comfort is also enhanced with the use of denser urethane pads and foam inserts within the seats.[41]
  • All models are standard equipped with eight airbags, and Bluetooth hand-free phone and audio-streaming connectivity. The Corolla will be available in four trim levels (L, LE, LE Eco, and S) that offer a wide range of popular features to help distinguish each trim level.

Special Edition

In 2014, for the 2015 model year, Toyota released the Special Edition Corolla based on the S model. It has gloss black-painted 17-inch alloy wheels, red stitching on its black steering wheel, shift knob, door trim, and seats, Special Edition floor mats and trunk emblem. In Canada, this model is called the 50th Anniversary Limited Edition. Absolutely Red, Super White, and Black Sand Pearl are the only exterior colors offered.[44][45]

In 2016 for the 2017 model year, Toyota released the facelift version of the E170 Corolla with new aerodynamic scoops, (only for 50th anniversary edition) restyled front facia, including new headlight design; redesigned taillights also featured. The interior added a new seven-inch touch screen and four-inch multi-information display. The updated Corolla features the new SE, and XSE grades, and new exterior colors.[46][47]

In addition to the FAW-Toyota Corolla sold in China that is based on the Corolla Altis, in 2014 Toyota China released the GAC-Toyota Levin (Chinese: 雷凌; pinyin: Léilíng).[48] In October 2015, Toyota introduced the Corolla hybrid variant in China with locally produced hybrid systems.[27]

The Levin has different frontal styling compared to both the North American Corolla and the international version. The grille is a slim piece dominated by chrome strip along the top that continues above the headlamps (that have been designed as a cross between the North American Corolla's lights and the international Corolla's wrap-around units). The lower intake is trapezoidal-shaped like the regular (non-sport) grade North American Corolla, but for China features a chrome surround. At the rear, the Levin's lights are based on the North American Corolla—the rear three-quarter panels and bumper are the identical. However, the reshaped trunk lid has the Toyota logo moved upwards to make way for the dominating chrome strip that bridges the tail lamps. The outer portions of the Levin's tail-lamps are the same shape as the Corolla for North America. However, the inner portion that sit upon the trunk lid are resigned. Also, the North American Corolla's tailpipe pokes straight out from underneath the rear bumper; the Levin's tailpipe curves downwards.[49]

The Levin received an update at the April 2017 Auto Shanghai, with the similar front bumper design as the updated Taiwanese market Corolla Altis X.[50]
