The 1.2T Petrol Elite uses Toyota’s 8NR-FTS turbocharged direct-injection engine with 85 kW (116 PS) and 185 N·m, through a CVT with ten simulated steps. It keeps the 4,635 mm body on a 2,700 mm wheelbase and a 50-litre tank. Over the Pioneer it adds 205/55 R16 tyres, a 10.25-inch touchscreen, power sunroof and six speakers, while keeping fabric seats and manual air conditioning that are easy to look after in hot climates. WLTC fuel use is 6.13 L/100 km. It is a good-value retail Corolla for markets that run on regular petrol.
Best for: Retail dealer stock in petrol markets and private buyers who want a sunroof at a lower price.
