2014 Toyota Corolla Revealed

By Ganesh

The all new 2014 Toyota Corolla has been revealed in the U.S., the sedan's largest market. The new Corolla, based on the Furia concept car showcased in January in Detroit, is sporty and muscular, clearly targeted at a younger age group of buyers. The new Toyota Corolla, sold as the Corolla Altis in India, will be launched here in early 2014.

In the U.S the new Corolla will be available with two 1.8 liter four cylinder engines, which have been refined to be more efficient and delivers 132 HP and 140 HP in the Eco variant. Engine variants in India will also remain the same, but will be improved the same way. What will be new though is the 7 speed CVT automatic transmission, which will come with the petrol engine.

In the U.S the new Corolla now comes with LED headlights as standard in all variants and also new are the 17 inch alloy wheels. Check out the other changes in the gallery below.
