The opportunity of handle in two versions. A month ago, the XLi CVT range in Brazil And now, for a week, 2015 Toyota Corolla 1.8SE-G CVT top model and in our country.

2015 Toyota Corolla 1.8 SE-G CVT, In announcing about entry
into the Toyota-Mart Garage, last month, we anticipate that it would be an
ideological duel, a little beyond the coldest assessment we made in the first
review.
It is a cross between the Waku-Doki Toyota philosophy that
aimed to create more fun car to handle and the spirit of Homo Corolla: the
classic buyer of this model, which seeks an efficient means of transport, reliable
and affordable, without fanfare or great pretensions.
Outwardly
Undoubtedly, the Waku-Doki spirit held to see the design of
the new Corolla. Of course, it is not as spectacular as anticipated by the
concept that was presented at the Detroit Motor Show 2012. And not even as
aggressive as the Corolla sold in the United States , but the aesthetic result may be possible in
the future XRS version.
Nevertheless, the new Corolla has more modern and elegant
lines, which until certain touch of frivolity are allowed, with a striking
chrome grille and LED lights vanguard. Many say that this front seems borrowed
from some models of Honda, but the truth is that inspiration is the Camry.

Homo Corolla, meanwhile, will appreciate the 16-inch wheels
with Pirelli 205 / 55R16. They are not as spectacular as some 17-inch, but at
what Homo Corolla that interests you? What matters is that they are easily
available and with a high profile, which ensures good tolerance to our Third potholes
tires. Instead, it is likely to regret the lower ground clearance compared to
the Brazilian model ditches and humps must pass at low speed. Even below the
usual average of a typical HC
The two philosophies will appreciate the new dimensions,
because extra 10 centimeters of the wheelbase affect more interior space. And I
do not think it held a persistent neglect of Corolla: no sunroof in any
version.
The drag coefficient is very efficient, with a Cd of 0.274.
A very good value, though some Homo Corolla not know nor be interested to
know-what Cx means.
Inside
Waku-Doki spirit will rejoice to see that in the 2015 Toyota
Corolla 1.8 SE-G CVT and others-all version disappeared anachronistic plastic
inserts in imitation wood. True, now they appeared inserts that mimic without
much success carbon fiber, but go unnoticed.
The board is newly designed instruments. It is very upright
and derived from the new Rav4, but the Corolla Homo thank all commands are
simple to use and designed to last many years. That's what counts in a Toyota.

Another point for Waku-Doki is the driving position.
Adjustable steering wheel has height and depth, but SE-G version also adds
power driver's seat adjustment, leather upholstery (also available in the XEi
Pack version) and the steering wheel with shift paddles. It is not the driving
position Hachi-Roku (this note you are going out speaking Japanese), but it's
more "sport" has been seen in a Corolla.
Maybe some take longer than others to get used to their use,
but the six-inch multimedia screen (exclusive of the SE-G version) is also a
breakthrough: includes backup camera, GPS, DVD players and audio equipment
Bluetooth.
In addition, there is consensus on the greatest space in the
rear seats. Ten centimeters extra wheelbase moved into space for the knees of
the rear passengers. Corolla comfort so close to the best in the segment, the
Peugeot 408.
Security
The Corolla SE-G comes standard with seven airbags and ABS
brakes, but Toyota took a rather controversial decision in the Mercosur does
not offer stability control (ESP). In any version. Even as an option. It is
possible that in Brazil the ESP is offered at some point to version 2.0 Altis,
which fails to Argentina, but for now not offered across the range.
The Corolla also ignores other increasingly popular
electronic aids in its segment, such as traction control or hill start
assistant.
Whether passionate or conservative management drivers, Waku
Doki and Homo Corolla not eat glass: they know that this is an outstanding debt
of Toyota Mercosur.
Engine and transmission: 2015 Toyota Corolla 1.8 SE-G CVT
Tie, one by one. On the one hand, Homo Corolla will feel
full of joy and gratitude to know that reliable, robust and efficient engine
1.8 Dual VVT-i continues under the hood. He went from 136 to 140 horsepower
("who needs more?", say the HC) and has 173 Nm of torque ("tor
what?").
The Waku-Doki spirits continue asking for a variant with a
little more power, but the Corolla 2014 also have reason to celebrate: the
veteran automatic transmission four-speed was replaced by a modern CVT with
seven-speed Sport mode and paddles at the wheel . It is the same transmission
of the new Rav4.

A very important point to be destacar- -and this CVT gearbox
is offered, though without cams or so since version Sport- entry XLi range.
And another: the sales will remain predictable, as in any
Toyota. Services are every 10,000 kilometers and the brand has already
confirmed average of 2,000 pesos for the first three prices.
Behavior
On the one hand, we have a car with the typical behavior of
Homo Corolla: has a comfortable ride, suspensions robust feel, the steering is
smooth and the engine is more docile than a small pony.
On the other and this is especially felt in the top version
of gamma- we have a CVT box with more entertainment features a cheerleader
player. And this will brighten the spirits Waku-Doki.
For starters, forget all prejudices with continuously
variable boxes. In the Drive position is smooth, linear and minimal running and
jumping from one another. Only keeps that classic vice CVT where RPM climb
faster than artificially KMH. Like something skid.
But if -corriendo Manual mode active lever leftward you can
select manually (with blows from the lever or paddles) seven preset changes the
effect to prevent slippage. And, if you activate the Sport mode, you will feel
that increases the speed of throttle response: gear changes are made at a
higher rate.
To give an example. In Drive, in seventh gear and 120 km /
h, the engine runs at 2,300 rpm. But in Manual Sport mode or does so at 3,000
rpm. Bring the engine more "loaded" improves the reactions of the car
and completely changes the personality of the Corolla.
Of course, the suspension is set-up for the HC looking for a
car to take you without surprises of the home office. The CVT gearbox can be
sporty, but the dynamic performance of the new Corolla is not. It is stable
with crosswinds at legal speeds and can travel at a good pace on the road, but
the demanding curves are not your thing.
It accelerates from 0-100 km / h in 9.6 seconds (Sport and
manual mode) and top speed is 198 km / h. The average fuel consumption 7.1
liters per 100 kilometers.
Conclusion
In his obsession with the Prius hybrid cars, with the head,
Toyota is proposed that the new Corolla is a hybrid. But here we have a mixture
of different energies driven by motors, but one car that is completely devoted
to conquer opposing two types of audiences: the traditional, conservative and
loyal user of the Corolla, on the one hand. And he who searches a vehicle to
transmit emotions to drive.
The genius of the new Corolla is that, basically, Toyota
lets not fool with alleged alchemical formulas. Their engineers know that the
order of multiple personalities there. Especially in the price band ranging
from 175,000 to 240,000 pesos.
Toyota trick is to offer an extra dose of fun -e
unexpectedly Homo Corolla does not see himself as a boring guy.
The slightly more risky design, the position of a little
more modern management and CVT box a little sportier have the same effect that
causes the compliment of a girl in a guy 50 years is something I did not expect
at this point life, but you can brighten the whole week.
Because ultimately, that is what the literal translation of
the term-Waku Doki "Heartbeats anticipating emotions of the heart."
It is the emotional rematch Homo Corolla. We hope this article can help you to
know about 2015 Toyota Corolla 1.8 SE-G CVT and you also will find various types
of Toyota on the other pages of this blog that will discuss about the reviews and price.
