Toyota Drops Euro-Spec 2019 Corolla Performance And Economy Specs, Mega Gallery

Toyota fields the strongest ever Corolla lineup in Europe, offering three body styles, two hybrid powertrains and two gasoline engines for its all new compact family.

Now we get a detailed look at each model thanks to a massive photo gallery released by Toyota Europe. According to the automaker, designers have been given the freedom to give each body style “a visually distinctive and individual look,” and the photos do seem to support that statement. This applies especially to the Corolla Sedan, which features a different face from the five-door hatchback and the Touring Sports station wagon.

Based on the new TNGA GA-C platform, the all-new Corolla promises to bring superior driving dynamics thanks to a standard multi-link rear suspension, 10mm (0.39in) lower center of gravity and a 60 percent more rigid body shell. It also boasts enhanced safety levels thanks to standard Toyota Safety Sense tech.

1.8-liter hybrid averages as low as 3.3 l/100 km (85.6 mpg UK)

There is only one powertrain customers can have across all body styles: the 1.8-liter self-charging hybrid that delivers 122 PS (120 hp) and 142 Nm (105 lb-ft) of engine torque and 53 kW (72 PS/71 hp) and 163 Nm (120 lb-ft) of torque from an electric motor. It’s an economy-oriented hybrid which offers up to 50 percent all-electric driving on the everyday commute, according to Toyota.

Featuring a series of updates over the version offered in the outgoing Auris, the Atkinson cycle engine returns as little as 3.3 l/100 km (85.6 mpg UK) NEDC and CO2 emissions of 76 g/km (101 g/km WLTP) in the Hatchback and Touring Sports, while in the Sedan the unit averages as low as 3.4 l/100 km (83.1 mpg UK) NEDC with corresponding CO2 emissions of 77 g/km (100 g/km WLTP). The 1.8-liter hybrid comes with a new lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery pack in the Hatchback and Touring Sports and a new nickel-metal hydride (Ni-mH) in the Sedan.

Performance-wise, the 1.8-liter hybrid models reach a top speed of 180 km/h (112 mph) and go from 0 to 100 km/h in 10.9, 11.1 and 11.0 seconds in Hatchback, Touring Sports and Sedan guise respectively.

2.0-liter hybrid is for those who want both efficiency and performance

Customers who want more performance without a much higher fuel consumption can go for the 2.0-liter self-charging hybrid that’s available only in the Corolla Hatchback and Corolla Touring Sports. It produces 180 PS (178 hp) and 190 Nm (140 lb-ft) of engine torque while the electric motor delivers 80 kW (109 PS/107 hp) and 202 Nm (149 lb-ft) of torque.

Mated to a six-speed Sequential Shiftmatic transmission with steering wheel-mounted paddles, the 2.0-liter hybrid also offers a Sport driving mode and significant acceleration gains over the smaller 1.8. Zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) takes 7.9 seconds in the Hatchback and 8.1 seconds in the Touring Sports, while top speed for both versions is 180 km/h (112 mph). In EV drive mode, 2.0-liter hybrid’s top speed is limited to 115 km/h (71 mph).

Claimed average fuel economy figures NEDC) are as low as 3.7 l/100 km (76.3 mpg UK), with corresponding CO2 emissions of just 85 g/km (106 g/km WLPT) for the hatch and 84 g/km (106 g/km WLTP) for the wagon.

1.2-liter turbo and 1.6-liter NA four-cylinder gasoline engines round off the lineup

Non-hybrid people can choose a 1.2-liter turbocharged gasoline unit, but only for the hatch and wagon. Rated at 114 PS (112 hp) and 185 Nm (136 lb-ft) of torque, the turbo-four is hooked to either a six-speed manual transmission with rev-matching or a CVT. 0-100 km/h acceleration times are not spectacular (9.3 and 9.6 seconds with the manual) but top speed is higher than the hybrid models’, at 200 km/h (124 mph). The claimed average fuel consumption is as low as 5.2 l/100 km (54.3 mpg UK), with CO2 emissions of 119 g/km (132 g/km WLTP).

Finally, the Corolla Sedan offers a naturally aspirated 1.6-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine that makes 132 PS (130 hp) and 159 Nm (117 lb-ft) of torque and is available with either a six-speed manual transmission or a Multidrive S CVT. With the manual, the Corolla Sedan sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in 9.7 seconds and reaches a top speed of 200 km/h (124 mph).

NEDC average fuel economy is 5.7 l/100 km (49.5 mpg UK) and CO2 emissions are 130 g/km (139 g/km WLTP). With the CVT, performance takes a hit (0-100 km/h in 10.2 seconds and a top speed of 190 km/h/118 mph) but fuel economy stands to gain: 5.5 l/100 km (51.3 mpg UK) and CO2 emissions of 125 g/km (146 g/km WLTP).
