The new Multi Drive 7S continuously variable transmission meticulously controls the speed and shifting pattern to realize excellent power train performance while ensuring a powerful and linear acceleration. It also has a 7-speed sequential shiftmatic mode with manual gear shifting-like characteristics that give the driver complete control when required.
Making a strong design statement with its unique visual signature, the 2016 Corolla Multi Drive 7S signifies Toyota’s brand evolution. The Corolla’s design theme combines clean lines and balanced proportions to give it an immediate visual impact. It tapers at the front and rear of the vehicle to help emphasize the wheel arches and wheels-to-the-corner stance.
The squared-off corners and elongated three-box profile are typically Corolla, but it has a dynamic front end – the bars of the grille extend into the oversized LED-adorned trapezoidal headlamp clusters to give the sedan a broad, thrusting nose. The flanks sport character lines that emphasise the Corolla’s rear arches and the kicked-up leading edge of the side glass. At the back, protruding wraparound tail-lamp clusters and a chrome bar contribute to a wedge-like rear three-quarter profile. Adding to the style quotient is a trendy rear spoiler.
The design lends itself to a spacious cabin that offers refined comfort and class-leading legroom with abundant storage space. Also, the interior looks upmarket thanks to the piano-black finish to the infotainment system, a soft-touch dashboard and sophisticated dark grey accents.
Under the bonnet lies, a 2.0 litre engine mated with the new Multi Drive 7S transmission that ensures smooth shifting and high fuel efficiency of up to 16.6 Kmpl. Apart from this, the Corolla is available with a 1.6 litre engine that offers excellent fuel efficiency of up to 17.8 Kmpl.
This particular model comes with all the safety, comfort and convenience specifications that add to customers’ delight – including ABS with EBD and brake assist, six airbags, leather upholstery, cruise control, steering wheel-mounted audio controls and a 6.1 display audio system that can play CDs, DVDs, USB devices and a Bluetooth connection.
Engineered to provide high active and passive safety standards, the Corolla also offers enhanced pedestrian impact protection. The adoption of numerous energy absorbing components offer significantly improved pedestrian protection in the event of a frontal impact.
For occupant protection, impact-absorbing structures have been adopted for the interior part of the pillar areas to ensure cabin safety. To help reduce the impact of a collision on occupants, the 2016 Corolla Multi Drive 7S is equipped with SRS airbags for the driver and front passenger.
In addition to the above, the2016 Corolla Multi Drive 7S also features other class-leading features such as LED projector headlamps with integrated-type daylight running lights, smart entry system + start/stop button, new audio system with USB+AUX, 3.5” TFT multi-information display, retractable outer mirrors with turn signals, audio + mid controls on steering wheel, cruise control and moonroof, amongst others.
