Test Toyota Corolla 2019 years came in lens car paparazzi

Somewhere in snowy Scandinavia to the test was spotted camouflaged prototypes of the next-generation Toyota Corolla. Most likely, in the heart of the car will lie modular platform of the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) which has perfectly proved on the new models, the Prius and C-HR. Most notable was the camouflage of the car, cardboard and duct tape, that led me to the analogy with the box from under the refrigerator on wheels, especially given the geography of the trials.

Sales of the current generation Corolla was launched in 2013, and at that appearance of European cars differs from American, you can still try to catch the General outlines of the next generation. The model for the Japanese brand has always been a kind of steam engine development is one of the most popular group the particular world in a whole. Because of appearance Toyota has always treated very seriously.

As for the snapshot data, you can see a very flat bonnet, and camouflage make their way through the lights with a distinctive led light. The tail lights of the prototype is borrowed from American Corolla. Only one detail attracted the attention and made me think – is the exterior mirrors, which are placed much farther from the door than we are accustomed to see. The hole in the coated front end, hinting, most likely, radar systems Autonomous braking system, cruise control or other active safety system.

By the beginning of the summer season, we will probably see more parts of the new Corolla model year 2019. However, data pictures, apparently not a full test of the car, so as not see the connected measuring devices to wheels the body. Perhaps it is a preliminary trial run.

The next-generation Corolla, at the insider information, will be equipped with the Bavarian engine part of a major deal between Toyota and BMW. The turbo engine with a volume of 1.5 l used for cars MINI of new generation will be a great (or terrible – the future will show, ed) alternative to the naturally aspirated Japanese. The news itself is interesting, as the Corolla is different from just the relative cheapness, reliability and relatively low power motors. In Toyota, according to everything decided to break this stereotype.
