The car will be offered with 1.6 and 1.8-litre petrol engines and Toyota’s
infinitely variable valve timing (VVT-i) technology will be available on top
models.

Other new features for the Asian Corolla include vehicle stability control,
electronic brake force distribution and brake assist.

The optional automatic gearbox has a Mercedes-style gated shift lever and the
‘Optitron’ instrument cluster gives the driver a choice of three different

Prices are expected to be in the $US15,000-19,000 range in Thailand where the

Civic and the latest Nissan Sunny. Mitsubishi’s new Lancer is due out in
the fourth quarter.
