Toyota Reveals New Corolla Concept Before The Japan Mobility Show
SAUDI ARABIA: Toyota has discreetly shared a concept version of its most popular Corolla car at its livestream presentation just before the Japan Mobility Show. The concept is very interesting as it hints towards Toyota unveiling a new EV or hybrid Corolla.
The design specifications and proportions of the concept look ready for production, which makes the concept even more exciting. The reason fans are contemplating whether the car might be an EV or plug-in hybrid model or not is because of the placement of the fuel cap on the front fender.
Toyota Corolla Concept Styling & Design
The Corolla’s front fascia looks upgraded in this new concept with pixelated DRLs running across the front. The C-shaped LED headlights look like eyebrows that give the design serious attitude. The bumper of this car is substantial, which somewhat indicates that this concept could be hosting an electric drivetrain. The concept certainly offers a sporty upgrade to the Corolla’s design with multi-spoke wheels, indented doors for better airflow, and a ducktail spoiler in the back.
Toyota Corolla Concept Powertrain Details
There is currently no official information regarding the engine or powertrain details of this concept model. However, speculations are at an all-time high with this concept and the placement of a fuel cap at the front fender. Even though it indicates a fully EV Corolla, industry insiders think that a plug-in hybrid is more probable.
The Corolla is one of Toyota’s most popular models, and it is known for its practicality, reliability, and conservative design. This new concept certainly throws caution to the wind and upgrades the design aspect significantly. And considering the concept is close to production form, it is safe to assume that Toyota can either unveil this model as production-ready at the Japan Mobility Show this year, as a surprise for fans. Or it can be announced sometime soon, probably next year, for a limited or global release.
