2016 Toyota Corolla ZR Review


The 2015 Toyota Corolla, the most recent emphasis of Australias top-offering auto, presents a scope of generous overhauls part of t he way through the present hatchback models life cycle, and the improves have without a doubt been.

The changes incorporate a split model extent as far as the way the Toyota Corolla seal looks â€" the section level Ascent and Ascent Sport variations seem indistinguishable to the revived Toyota Auris from Europe, while the sportier SX and leader ZR (as tried here) have more forceful styling like the Scion iM from the US.

The ZR model loses the Levin name and it additionally costs $1000 short of what it did beforehand when outfitted with a programmed gearbox. The past model could be had with a manual transmission, yet the 2015 rendition begins at $28,990 in addition to on-street costs, and is just accessible with a constantly variable transmission (CVT).


There are different changes to the standard apparatus, as well, including that outgoing body unit, new bi-LED headlamps, crisp 17-inch compound wheels, another 7.0-inch touchscreen media framework, and a 4.2-inch shading data screen for the driver. The current warmed seats (with drivers seat electric lumbar bolster), auto-diminishing back perspective mirror, keyless section and push-catch begin, and electronic collapsing side mirrors all stay standard.

Likewise still standard is the Corollas seven-airbag wellbeing pack (double front, front side and full-length blind, and also drivers knee assurance) and five-star ANCAP accident rating. In any case, there are no best in class dynamic wellbeing help frameworks, (for example, self-governing crisis braking, blind side checking, path keeping help or back cross-movement ready) as standard, and nor would you be able to alternative any of those things (you can get some in the Mazda 3).

Perused our full valuing and details story on the 2015 Toyota Corolla hatch.

While we dont pass judgment on autos on what they look like here at CarAdvice, the general accord of those in the workplace was that in spite of the fact that the Corolla incubate still does not have the refined appearance of significant adversaries, for example, the Mazda 3 and Volkswagen Golf, the modifications have honed up the offer of the Japanese model.

Outside appearance may be what purchasers will eventually judge an auto on, yet its inside the lodge that the new Corolla lid has taken its greatest steps.


The greatest change is that new media framework which overwhelms the cockpit, and the new etched piano dark encompass is more present day and appealing than the setup in the past model.

The ease of use of the screen itself is great notwithstanding the reality theres no astute rotational dial framework, and nor would you be able to dial contacts or info route points of interest while the auto is moving. In any case, theres a respectable voice control framework for that, or the choice of calling a help line to get help: at $2.97 per call.

While it isnt the best infotainment framework weve utilized (the Mazda 3 is the class pioneer), it is clear, easy to utilize and a huge change on the fiddly, resellers e xchange style unit that was beforehand advertised.

The cockpit itself gets different changes â€" the instrument group is tidier, and the drivers expansion information screen lights up it up, however disappointingly there is no computerized speed readout.

There are new controls for the cooling t hat vibe higher quality, with blue-lit instruments that look spotless and clear, yet the lodge is still entirely dull during the evening. Our auto likewise had a discretionary all encompassing glass rooftop ($1500), which lets a ton of light into the lodge â€" that aides in the daytime…

Concerning space and solace, the Corolla remains insightfully â€" if not liberally â€" bundled.


There are a lot of capacity choices through the lodge, including another hidey-opening for your cell phone before the rigging shifter. The entryway stashes are fair, however the Corolla remains entirely tight for secondary lounge space: headroom is restricted because of the glass rooftop, and knee room could be better, as well.

The boot, too, isnt the best in the class. There is just 280 liters of limit, which is not as much as a few autos the class beneath, and well shy of the pioneers in this class (the Kia Cerato lid has a guaranteed 421 liters of baggage room, and it shrouds a full-size extra where the Corolla has a space-saver).

While the restorative changes all improve the Corollas offer, there have been some huge changes under the skin, as well.

Toyota claims it has concentrated on making the Corolla bring forth more agreeable, productive and charming to drive, and in view of our time in the auto (taking after our late long haul spell in the past top-spec Levin ZR), we can affirm this model is in fact superior to the one it replaces â€" and particularly so.


Changes have been made to the front safeguards, while the stabilizer shrubberies and loops have been adjusted to make the auto ride all the more serenely, and in addition enhance the autos taking care of solidness. The back torsion bar suspension has likewise been retuned for the same impact.

It without a doubt rides with preferred consistence over it did already. The suspension ingests beginning sharp effects great, especially at lower paces â€" over hindrances, for instance. It can in any case buck or pound a little at the back over street joins, however, keeping in mind it is enhanced despite ev erything it doesnt have the level of consistence of, say, a VW Golf, Ford Focus or Peugeot 308.

The guiding has been fettled, as well â€" the electric framework has been remapped for better linearity in the measure of weight that is offered as rates rise. Beforehand weve discovered the Corolla hatchs directing could load up and feel too substantial around town: not any more, as this changed setup is decent and light when it ought to be, and picks up a sensible measure of haul the speedier you get moving.

All things considered, theres no additional force accessible. The Corolla holds its current 1.8-liter four-chamber petrol motor with 103kW of force and 173Nm of torque, yet fuel utilization has plunged by 8 for each penny for models fitted with the CVT, now expending an asserted 6.1 liters for every 100km â€" amazing for a normally suctioned motor, and well superior to anything, say, the 1.8-liter petrol Hyundai i30 (7.3L/100km). Over a blend of parkway and city driving in the Corolla hatch we saw 7.6L/100km.


The motor and CVT consolidate well generally, with great reaction under light to mid throttle application, however it can be a bit languid to respond under sudden pedal weight at lower rates. Toyota says it has reexamined the transmission case for the CVT to decrease clamor and vibration, and it has had an impact on the lodge mood, with less of that fluffy rambling sound. There is, be that as it may, even now a great deal of street thunder on coarse-chip surfaces.

While Toyota has an in number notoriety for unwavering quality, it stays one of the less liberal as far as its possession impetuses.


Theres a three-year, 100,000km guarantee (adversaries have up to seven years with boundless kilometers), and the Corolla is secured by a three-year to pped value administration program that obliges support like clockwork or 10,000km (whichever happens first). Every visit costs $140. That is shabby, however the length of spread isnt about on a par with the class-pioneers: Holden and Hyundai, for instance, offer lifetime topped value support. 

There’s a lot to like about the new-look Toyota Corolla, and the ZR model tested here makes a much stronger argument than it has in the past. It’s a considerably nicer car than the model it replaces in nearly all facets.
