Toyota Corolla 2024 1.2T Elite
Combining youthful design with practical features, the front fascia features a blacked-out honeycomb grille with fang-shaped chrome trim, paired with sharp LED headlights (standard with adaptive high beams and automatic headlights), significantly enhancing its visual impact and combining style with distinctiveness. The flowing body lines, sloping roofline, and 16-inch two-tone alloy wheels (exclusive to the Elite version) reinforce its dynamic character. A continuous waistline runs the length of the body, creating a low-slung and streamlined stance. All models come standard with LED fog lights, LED daytime running lights, and automatic headlights, providing excellent nighttime illumination. The automatic avoidance function for oncoming vehicles is also rare in this price range.
Equipped with a 1.2T inline four-cylinder turbocharged engine, it delivers a maximum power of 85kW (116 hp) and a peak torque of 185 N·m. Maximum torque is available from just 1500 rpm, providing brisk acceleration and ample power reserve in the mid-to-high range, making it suitable for frequent stop-and-go city driving. It's paired with a simulated 10-speed CVT transmission with optimized shift logic, resulting in smooth and linear power delivery. The WLTC combined fuel consumption is only 5.88L/100km, requiring only 92-octane gasoline, and it offers a range of up to 800km on a single tank of fuel, leading its class in fuel economy. A sport driving mode is also supported, adjusting throttle response and shift logic to enhance driving pleasure and satisfy occasional spirited driving needs.
With a wheelbase of 2700mm, the rear legroom is spacious (a 175cm tall passenger can enjoy two fist-widths of room), and the flat central floor ensures comfort even with three passengers. The vehicle boasts 13 storage compartments, including dedicated storage spaces in the door panels, center console, and armrest, providing convenient storage for everyday items. The 470L trunk capacity features an optimized side design with adjustable layout to meet family travel needs. Employing a front MacPherson strut and rear double wishbone independent suspension (rare in its class), it offers superior vibration damping compared to torsion beam models, maintaining stable body posture and reducing bumps when traversing speed bumps or uneven roads.
Equipped with a 9-inch floating central control screen (exclusive to the Elite version), it supports Gaode Map navigation, voice control (adjusting air conditioning, music, etc.), vehicle networking, and OTA upgrades, improving operational smoothness. Standard features include keyless start, a reversing camera (with guide lines), a 6-speaker audio system, a PM2.5 filter, and one-touch power windows with anti-pinch function for all four doors, highlighting its practicality. It features Toyota's TSS intelligent safety system, including Level 2 driver assistance functions such as full-speed adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, active braking, and forward collision warning, providing comprehensive protection for family travel. The seats are made of breathable fabric, while the door panels and armrest lid are made of soft-touch plastic, offering a comfortable feel; the steering wheel supports four-way adjustment and is ergonomically designed.
