As a major automotive market with a growing appetite for vehicles, China gets its own individualized versions of global cars from the likes of Chevrolet, Toyota and other mainstream players. At this week’s Beijing Auto Show, Toyota will unveil the Chinese-spec new Corolla, which we see for the first time in these scoop shots.
The CDM (Chinese Domestic Market – better get used to the term) Corolla has a different face than the North American and European versions of the car, with a distinct chrome monobrow and a rounder design for the front end as a whole.
However, both the rear end of the car and the instrument panel of the compact sedan seem to be identical to the European Corolla, while the A/C display with the single rotary knob looks like the one used on the North American model.
Below you’ll find photos of the Chinese (1st row), North American (2nd row) and European (3rd row) editions of the Corolla Sedan. Take a look and tell us which interpretation you like more.
