About Toyota new Corolla / Corolla Touring minor change

Toyota has significantly improved (minor changes) the station wagon “Corolla Touring” and will release it on October 3, 2022 . “Corolla Touring” started sales in 2019, and will undergo a minor change in three years.

The exterior design has been changed (front bumper, headlights) and new body colors have been added. In the interior, the upper grade “WxB” uses a 7-inch to 12.3-inch TFT display for the meter display. , Display audio has been changed to a model compatible with “Connected Navigation”, which is used in the new “Noah Voxy” etc. (Personally, I am disappointed.) “7-inch display audio” has been abolished. “ 8-inch display audio ”, “ 10.5-inch display audio plus ”, and “display audio-less specification” are available. Discontinued “CD/DVD” deck.

As for gasoline engines, the “inline 4-cylinder DOHC 1.2L direct injection turbo” and “1.8L inline 4-cylinder DOHC engine” have been discontinued. The new generation “In-line 3-cylinder 1.5L direct injection dynamic force engine M15A type” is combined with “Direct Shift-CVT” with a starting gear. Furthermore, the hybrid model uses a 5th generation hybrid system, a series parallel hybrid with a reduction mechanism that combines an improved inline 4-cylinder DOHC 1.8L engine “2ZR-FXE” with a motor. (It used an old engine, so it looked like a Toyota.)

Equipped with the latest preventive safety package “Toyota Safety Sense” with advanced functions and improved functions, it has “low-speed acceleration suppression function”, “detection of oncoming vehicles and pedestrians when turning right at an intersection”, and “emergency steering avoidance support function”. “Add. Equipped with a “driver abnormality response system.” A curve speed suppression function has been added to the “radar cruise control.”

In-line 3-cylinder 1.5L direct injection dynamic force engine

The gasoline car uses a new generation “ inline 3-cylinder 1.5L direct injection dynamic force engine M15A type ”. Combined with “Direct Shift-CVT” with a starting gear . In addition to adopting high-speed combustion technology and a variable control system, the new engine improves thermal efficiency and achieves high output by reducing various energy losses such as during exhaust, cooling, and mechanical operation.

engine	In-line 3-cylinder 1.5L direct injection engine “Dynamic Force Engine”
Maximum output	88kW (120ps)/6,600rpm
Maximum torque	145Nm (14.8kgfm)/4,800-5,200rpm
transmission	Direct Shift-CVT
WLTC mode fuel consumption	17.8km/L – 19.1km/L (2WD)

5th generation hybrid system Inline 4-cylinder DOHC 1.8L engine + motor

The 5th generation hybrid system uses a series parallel hybrid with a reduction mechanism that combines an improved inline 4-cylinder DOHC 1.8L engine “2ZR-FXE” with a motor. Compared to the old model, the front motor and rear motor have been significantly strengthened. Maximum output: 5.3kW (7.2ps) → 30kW (41PS), maximum torque: 55Nm (5.6kgm) → 84Nm (8.6kgfm), system output: 90kW (122ps) → 103kW (140ps).

About this major improvement

The contents of this improvement are all changes that make you feel Toyota’s greatness. Particularly praiseworthy is the change in the engine lineup. The author has also mentioned the engine lineup in his experience and evaluation of the Corolla Touring , but the “inline 4-cylinder DOHC 1.2L direct injection turbo” and “1.8L inline 4-cylinder DOHC engine” are one generation old. The engine is of course perfect in terms of specifications, but if possible, they have fulfilled my request to use the latest engine. If it’s a “ in-line 3-cylinder 1.5L direct injection engine (Dynamic Force Engine) ”, it is certainly equipped with the latest engine, the specs are perfect, and there is no doubt that WLTC mode fuel efficiency will improve. One disappointing point is that the “in-line 4-cylinder 2.0L direct injection engine (Dynamic Force Engine)”, which was only used in the “Corolla Sport ,” was not adopted in the “Corolla” and “Corolla Touring.” It may be appropriate to adopt it in the Corolla Sport, which many people choose for its sports elements, but since the Corolla Touring is a car with a large cargo space and many people use it to carry things, the 2.0L NA is suitable. The more you have, the more options you have. Of course, Toyota has a further option of hybrid vehicles, but I think this is a good option given that there is still demand for gasoline-powered vehicles in Japan, considering delivery issues caused by the coronavirus. Finally, Toyota cars that will be released in the future will be changing their navigation systems, but the level of perfection of the “Connected Navigation” is not so good at the moment, so I would like to somehow update the version and change it to a better navigation system. I think about it from the user’s perspective. If you would like to purchase, please include this information before considering your purchase.
