The sedan version of the all-new 2019 Toyota Corolla has been captured on camera.

Based on the NGA-C platform which is a new derivative of the TNGA (Toyota New Global Architecture), the 12th-gen Corolla is said to share it's underpinnings with the C-HR crossover and the new Prius hybrid.

Just like the hatchback, the first things that grab your attention are Shrek’s ears. Specifically, the way the side mirrors stick out. Considering that the turn signals are operational, it’s very likely that the mirrors will make it into production.

Then there’s the front fascia, which has an uncanny resemblance to that of the fourth-generation Prius. Instead of the round-shaped headlights fitted to this test prototype, the production version of the 2019 Toyota Corolla sedan will pride itself on more modern clusters.

The side profile reveals a more masculine shoulder line, small-diameter steel wheels with five lug nuts, as well as a more generous glasshouse, especially at the C-pillar. At the rear, the exhaust tip exits at the right-hand side of the rear bumper.

They may look weird, but imagine sitting in the car and the mirrors will fall directly in your line of sight , without having to look down ( Similar like a truck I believe )

Bear in mind the simple round headlights are temporary and will make way in the months to come for the production-ready clusters. At the back, the taillights are sourced from the current U.S.-spec Corolla. As for the side profile, the first thing that catches our attention is the position of the mirrors, which have been moved farther from the A-pillars and are now sticking out.

When it will arrive, the new Corolla is going to be entirely different in terms of hardware. It’s because the compact car will switch to the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA), which has already underpinned models such as the latest Prius and the funky C-HR crossover we had the pleasure of reviewing earlier in the week.

The rumor mill indicates Toyota will install a BMW engine underneath the hood, as part of a tie-up between the two automakers signed some years ago. If the reports will pan out, the 2019 Corolla will follow the BMW-powered Verso MPV and the Avensis midsize sedan and wagon.

2019 Corolla ready for the Japanese market?

Built on the TNGA ,Toyota New Global Architecture - the same as the Prius, C-HR and Camry, extensive tested in European winter last year.

Toyota Corolla 2019 will be more efficient than the current one and should take advantage of the hybrid technology of the brand to make the difference in a segment that has little innovation, but where the sedan stands out for being a leader - including here in Brazil - and also to give it the title of best selling car in history.

They've completely messed up the rear looks! Atleast the current one while not being a looker, was palatable and neutral.

Toyota designs are going quite wayward, and whatever they do with Lexus normally flows down to the commuter brand later. After going overboard Lexus’ face it’s time to get going with Toyota models. The Prius and C-HR was already quite bad to look at, and this just follows that template

2020 Toyota Corolla spied in US,

Much like the 2019 Corolla hatchback, the 2020 Corolla sedan rides on the automaker’s TNGA modular platform that already underpins several of its models, such as the Camry and Prius.

The Corolla also takes some design cues from the hatch, particularly with the front-end design. Differences include the addition of a small window near the A-pillar for improved forward visibility and a revised C-pillar. The greenhouse design and shape look unchanged.

Power will come from a new 2.0-liter port- and fuel-injected four-cylinder engine paired with either a continuously variable transmission or six-speed manual. The new engine will make more than the 1.8-liter’s 137 horsepower and 126 pound-feet of torque

If one has to go by images, the car looks futuristic and it seems that Toyota has given up on existing design language and has given an aggressive stance to the upcoming iteration to Corolla. The side profile though looks the age old "executive sedan".

I hope, the launch in India should also happen alongside.


Any reason why the hatchback version never made it to India when it was available / sold in many regions ! Indian market is coming out of its age and premium hatchbacks (not necessarily sub-4 meter) are finding it easy to get sold. The Corolla hatchback looks very similar to MB A class and Volvo V 40. They should also consider its entry in India

From an OEM's perspective, Hatchback >4M do not appeal to the customers in India. There'll be very few takers for the large hatch.
And at that price point a customer will either switch to a Sub 4M SUV or a Verna / Ciaz Segment Sedan (which are perceived more prestigious)

Also I don't know if it still holds true... A hatch is still perceived to be a "Choti Car" so from an imagery point of view, no owner of such vehicle will want to hear that he drives a "Choti Car"

Guess when launched in India will have the Toyota- Corolla and the Suzuki - Corolla versions

Twelfth generation will debut this year and should arrive in Brazil in the second half of next year.

Toyota Corolla one of the most successful vehicles in its history and as Toyota Claims sells every 10 seconds, a new Corolla is delivered to a customer somewhere in the world.

Now as the 12 the Generation of the Corolla is in the making Toyota Corolla reverses course to just one platform , the outgoing 11th-generation is actually three different cars on three different platforms.

The concept is now 'Global One Corolla

Migrating all versions of the Corolla to the Toyota New Global Architecture platform is an important evolution for the compact. It will help build brand value and marketing power and simplify product engineering as well as help achieve better economies of scale.

The new Corolla is the third vehicle to ride on the TNGA-C platform, after the Prius hybrid and the C-HR subcompact crossover

Toyota sells about 1.3 million Corollas a year worldwide and expects that number to be roughly the same with the new generation. About 80 percent are sold in the U.S. and China.
