All-New 2014 Toyota Corolla Gains Fresh Looks, More Space and 7-Speed CVT [50 Pics & Videos]
The 11th generation of Toyota's best-selling nameplate in the world and second in the U.S. after the Camry ranking 8th overall last year (albeit including sales of the Matrix), which is none other than the 2014 Corolla compact sedan, made its world premiere tonight in Santa Monica, California.
Toyota had prepared us for the Corolla's looks with the Furia concept at the Detroit motor show this year, but if you were expecting the same sported up and hunkered down stance, you'll be disappointed. That's not to say the new Corolla isn't more interesting to look at on the outside than the outgoing model, but that doesn't say much, does it now…
There are many styling influences from the much larger Avalon, both on the outside, especially up front with five point lower grille and the standard LED headlamps, and even more inside with the dashboard that looks far more premium and interesting than that of the previous generation Corolla.
The renewed interior design is matched to a more spacious passenger cabin, courtesy of a 3.93-inch (99.8 mm) longer wheelbase at 106.3-inches (2,700mm), which Toyota says helps offer a rear seat area that is 2.95-inches (75mm) longer than the previous model.
