Featured The new 2019 Corolla hybrid looks good

Could be. Needed to use a road force balancer? Also an adapter due to lug centric vs hub centric. Not sure which RAV 4 is.

 

Discount Tire where I recently purchased winter tire and wheel set for my PRIME offered a road force balance service. They called it "Ride Match Balance", but I did not include it. Regular balancing and mounting was included free, but this cost extra. I have not put the wheels and tires on my PRIME yet, but if ride is uncomfortable, I wonder where I could take them to get re-balanced.

BTW, I have not researched much on RAV4, but do you know they requires all four tires to be replaced if one tire gets unrepairable flat? Our old Sienna AWD came with non-repairable run-flat tire (no spare) and due to AWD if one tire gets flat, then all four had to be replaced. Back then run-flat tires were hard to find and not many tire shop could service them and they were soooooo expensive. Just within first year of owning the van I had to spend ~$1200 for tires after a single tire suffered a flat.

Sorry folks, this was totally off topic. I don't think Toyota will make Corolla AWD any time soon.

 

The current Corolla hatchback is actually an Auris, and it is a smaller car; might even be in the size class down.

Since I don't expect the Corolla sedan to shrink, the new hatchback will be larger than the Auris, and likely the same size as the Prius and v.

 

So, if it gets introduced in the US, it is essentially a replacement for Prius V. I am going to wait for 2019 RAV4 Hybrid, as might as well wait while longer to see if they will bring Hybrid Corolla Hatch.

 

When will we see the technical specs?

Is the new 2019 on dealer lots yet? If certified as a sedan, it is a midsize by the EPA. I'm surprised it has shorter wheelbase than the sedan.

 

As a former owner of multiple station wagons, I think they're absolutely the perfect vehicular form factor. I fail to understand why my fellow Americans refuse to see this

 

I wasn't aware that the drop of iM from the name also coincided with the arrival of an all new car. Other models have the same wheelbase between the hatchback and sedan.

The old Focus wagon had as much cargo space as the Rav4 of the time.
Most came to see wagons as uncool, and marketing convinced them they needed AWD/4WD.

 

Recently got a flat in my 2018 Rav4 Hybrid and only needed a single tire replacement at the dealership. So, most likely more flexible than your Sienna AWD or Subaru with more traditional systems.

 

Thanks for your comment. That is a good news.

 

I believe it is a question of how worn the old tire was in relation to the new one. A new tire with a greater outside diameter can throw off wheel speed sensors and/or cause uneven wear to all the tires.
The recommendation for even 2WD cars is to replace tires in at least pairs.

 

Because truck manufacturers have them brainwashed.

I agree though! We have had several station wagons. I fondly remember our Mazda Protege 5. However, the thing rusted like mad.

 

From this review:

• 122PS - 1.8L hybrid system
• 180PS - 2.0L hybrid system

Since my BMW i3-REx has 168 hp, the 2.0L should have some nice scoot.

Here is everything officially known about new European spec Corolla:

- Availability of Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS). AVS cooperates with the Drive Mode Select system to control damping force in accordance with the selection of ECO, NORMAL, SPORT S, SPORT S+ or CUSTOM modes, offering drivers the appropriate balance of ride comfort and handling agility.
- Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 with Lane Trace Assist (LTA)

You can find some first drive reviews about 2.0 hybrid from Lexus UX 350h, the more powerfull hybrid will also come in CH-R (probably Europe only).

 

I dont think this wagon will come for u in the US, it will come as a Sedan and as a hatchback for u, then in the EU it will come as a wagon and hatchback.

Sedan will come around summer 2019, the hatchback will come in around december 2018 i believe, same time as the new 2019 face lift prius gen 4.

New corolla (auris) will take over iM`s line in US, because the iM is the current gen auris.

It wont come as a sedan in EU because we have the Avensis sedan and wagon. Only negativ thing with it is that its not a hybrid.

I dont know in the US, but in EU it will come with a 1.2L petrol engine with 120hp as the avensis, a 1.6L 134hp and a 2.0L 180HP hybrid.
In EU toyota dithced diesel`s, so there wont be any diesel models as before, I also think toyota ditched manual`s.

An i saw tideland prius say toyota ditched the name Auris in EU? Thats not true, it will go under the same name in EU, but will take over both corolla and iM in US and be called corolla there. Auris already took over corolla in EU in 2006. It still advertised as the "auris" in Norway.

And the Prius V/+7 will be discontinued worldwide from what ive heard...

We already have two of the Auris Touring sports, and have been thinking of getting one of the new 2019 models.

 

Thank you:

I've put this in a table tagged format with some openings. If you have time, can we fill in the blanks?

	model	litre	hp	L/100 km
1	2019 Avensis (Corolla)	1.2L	120	?
2	2019 Corolla hybrid	1.6L	134	?
3	2019 Corolla hybrid	2.0L	180	?
4	2019 Prius	1.8L	122	?

I found the UK Toyota web site and it appears to have a lot of the technical details I'm interested in.

No wait.... The avensis is discontinued... There is no 2019 Avensis. The Auris will take over the avensis spot also, the f!ck... I havent noticed that...
Its switched out with the new supra



And the new Camry Hybrid will come to EU? What is going on lol, norway havent had the camry for over 20 years, but now its back.

 

Corolla sedan is availible in EU for a long time, but I don't think it has much in common with the hatchback and TS, looks like it will stay as it is (old model).

European fuel economy rating won't do you much, the numbers will be WLTP but they still won't be comparable to EPA. But for now they are uknown.
