New-generation sedan adds new-found style to its solid, dependable reputation
Who would have thought it; a Corolla with real design flair. Picture: SUPPLIED
Now the sedan version’s arrived in SA as a more premium and stylistically appealing four-door than its conservative forerunners. It sells alongside the cheaper, previous-generation Corolla which has been repurposed as the Quest and is popular with the Uber market. Combined with piano-black surfaces, blue contrast stitching, and brushed metal highlights, the cabin has a classy vibe that is a far cry from the conservative interiors of Corollas past. The large infotainment tablet plonked on the dash like an afterthought spoils the styling lines a bit, but on the positive side its generous size and large icons make it easy to operate.
The styling may have more zing, but the driving experience is prosaic in time-honoured Corolla tradition. Not that one expects any different, unless Toyota one day decides to bring back a rip-snorting RSi version.
