2016 Toyota Corolla ESport edition
Toyota Motor Thailand has launched the Toyota
Corolla ESport, featuring minor cosmetic changes and new equipment over the current model. The ESport and ESport Nurburgring edition are priced at 939,000
baht and 942,000 baht, respectively.
The 2016 Toyota
Corolla ESport Nurburgring features a new bumper design with aggressive touches
and new 17-inch alloy rim design. Otherwise, most of the enhancements are
sourced from the outgoing model, which include a piano-black grille, a rear
spoiler, a faux diffuser for the rear bumper and stickers of the ‘Green Hell’
on the front wings.
It has an all-black
interior with red accents on the dashboard, door panels and floor carpets. As
part of the update, it features a new instrument cluster with a larger
multi-info display and a newer software for the touchscreen infotainment
system.
The
Corolla ESport and ESport Nurburgring are powered by the 1.8-liter
four-cylinder Dual-VVT-i engine which develops 141 PS at 6,000 rpm and 177 Nm
of torque at 4,000 rpm. Only a CVT gearbox (a 7-stepped CVT) with paddle
shifters is offered on this edition.
