第120届巴黎车展对于丰田来说是一个展示新车的重要盛会，丰田在车展上除了发布Avensis替代车型外，还发布了新款卡罗拉，该车也将成为Auris的替代车型。这次丰田发布的是卡罗拉五门掀背车和旅行车，这两款车均采用全新设计，相对于老款Auris，其硬件设计也获得了全面更新。该车采用丰田的TNGA平台，五门掀背车长度增加40毫米，旅行车长度增加58毫米，车身的增加也导致新车轴距的增加，因此内部空间更宽敞。另外，新车重心降低了10毫米，所有版本都标配多连杆后悬。不仅如此，丰田还表示，新车刚性提升了60%，因此行驶稳定性和操控性及舒适性都超过Auris车型。该车动力系统包括1.2升涡轮增压引擎和1.8/2.0升混动系统。入门级车型功率114马力，而两种混动系统功率分别为120马力和178马力，其中功率最强劲的178马力混动引擎扭矩为192牛米。至于新车配置方面，包括LED前大灯，智能手机无线充电，抬头显示器和全景天窗。选装件包括JBL八声道音响和电动尾门。除了卡罗拉掀背车和旅行车，未来还将有轿车版本，不过该车预计将在2020年底发布。

 

2019 Toyota Corolla Hatch And Wagon Bid Adieu To Auris In Paris

The 120th Paris Motor Show is an important venue for Toyota as not only it’s the place where the Camry is being exhibited as an Avensis replacement, but it’s also the event where the new Corolla is showcased as the direct successor of the Auris. Both the five-door hatchback and the wagon body styles are on display, complete with an entirely different design and overhauled hardware compared to the outgoing Auris.

 

Riding on the TNGA platform, the Corollas are longer than the models they replace (+40 mm for hatch, 58+ mm for Touring Sports) and part of that stretch can be seen in the extended wheelbases freeing up more room inside the cabin. The center of gravity has been dropped by 10 mm and all versions come as standard with a multi-link rear suspension. Not only that, but Toyota mentions the rigidity of the body shell is up by 60 percent over the Auris models, thus bringing improved stability and handling without hampering comfort.

 

Customers will get to pick from a conventional 1.2-liter turbo engine and electrified 1.8- and 2.0-liter powertrains. The entry-level unit is good for 114 horsepower, followed by the smaller of the two hybrid engines with 120 hp and the bigger one with 178 hp on tap. The beefiest of them all offers 192 Newton-meters (142 pound-feet) of torque.

 

When it comes to equipment, there’s a lot to talk about. From LED headlights and wireless smartphone charging to a head-up display and a panoramic sunroof, the Euro-spec Corolla can be had with an assortment of goodies. We are barely scratching the surface here as Toyota offers an extensive options list, which also includes a JBL sound system featuring eight speakers and an electrically operated tailgate.

 

The hatchback and wagon will be joined by a new sedan, quite possibly before the end of the decade.
