Toyota updates Ireland’s most popular C segment saloon



The Toyota Corolla has just benefited from a model range update.

The revised Corolla offers customers minor exterior styling changes, further enhanced, higher quality interior design, and lower emissions with 'Toyota Optimal Drive' technology. 

With 1809 units sold to date in 2010, the Corolla remains Ireland’s best-selling C-segment saloon, accounting for almost 40 per cent of sales. The Corolla 2010 reinforces the superior quality, style and innovation of Toyota’s best-selling saloon. 

A new front features a redesigned bumper, radiator grille and lower grille. The new headlamps further strengthen the Corolla’s resolute appearance. To the rear, changes to the combination lamps, bumper and low-level reflectors have also been incorporated. 

Toyota says that the updated Corolla also benefits from the enhanced product appeal of new, power retractable door mirrors with integral turn indicators as standard and a new, sportier 16” alloy wheel design on the Luna and Sol grades. 

The Corolla 2010’s interior has been improved, with increased standard equipment across the range.

The Corolla 2010 engine line-up offers customers a choice of 1.33 litre Dual VVT-i petrol engine or the 1.4 litre D-4D 90 diesel unit. Both engines feature the performance- and economy-enhancing benefits of Toyota Optimal Drive, and meets Euro 5 emissions standards.

 The application of Toyota Optimal Drive across the model range ensures that the Corolla 2010 not only demonstrates the optimum balance between performance and emissions, but also that its fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are amongst the lowest in the segment. 

 The Corolla 1.4 D-4D boasts CO2 emissions of just 125 g/km; and the 1.33 Dual VVT-I, with Stop & Start technology, emits only 133 g/km. These low CO2 figures result in both engines having an annual road tax cost of just €156.
