Toyota Corolla 11 / E160-E170

The 11th generation Toyota Corolla debuted in Japan in 2012. The model was produced in 16 factories and sold in 143 countries. The car received a redesigned body, which was still offered only in the sedan body. In some markets, the Auris hatchback was sold as the Corolla. Compared to its predecessor, the wheelbase has increased by as much as 10 cm. This is a significant change that has positively affected the space in the second row of seats and in the trunk. As befits a sedan, the car has an impressive trunk (452 liters), but the hinges penetrate into the space intended for suitcases. The folding back of the back sofa allows you to increase the cargo space, but the opening in the cabin is small, and a noticeable protrusion is formed on the floor. The Corolla 11 body is created using strong and lightweight materials, which improved torsion rigidity. Aerodynamics are also on the rise. A drag coefficient of 0.27 helped reduce noise levels and fuel consumption. The equipment is medium. The basic versions have steel wheels, conventional air conditioning and 7 airbags. Toyota has assured that the design of the Corolla 11 must meet the highest safety requirements for passengers and pedestrians. This was confirmed by the result of the Euro NCAP crash test, in which the car received a full 5 stars (passenger protection 94 percent, pedestrian protection 67 percent).

Engines

The most common gasoline engines of 1.33 and 1.6 liters. In addition, a larger engine with a capacity of 1.8 liters was installed. Also included is a diesel 1.4 D-4D.

The 1.33 engine is great for entry-level drivers who don’t care about dynamics. The 1.6 engine is already enjoyable. Acceleration time from 0 to 100 km / h takes 10.1 seconds. A decent result, almost identical to the stated.

Behind the wheel of the diesel version, neither a small volume of the unit nor a lack of power is felt at all, unless, of course, you count on a spectacular sprint.

Problems

In 1.33 there is still a problem of formation of coarse on pistons. As a result, difficulties arise with the start of the engine, and for repairs it is necessary to remove the head of the cylinder block.

Removing problems with the catalytic converter will be much cheaper. The message "check the engine" appears after 150,000 to 180,000 km and often indicates an error in the exhaust control system. Usually, the exhaust gas cleaning system works properly, but it is sensitive to any deviations from the ideal state. Replacing a catalytic converter does not always solve the problem. If the exhaust gases are really cleaned properly, then the lambda probe, which determines the composition of the exhaust gases, can be fooled with the help of an emulator.

After 200,000 km in the 1.6 engine, the valve control module (Valvematic) may fail. And after 300,000-400,000 km, there is a need to replace the gasket of the cylinder head.

Diesels (especially those used in cities) have problems burning a DPF particulate filter. On the other hand, nozzles are characterized by high durability.

Transmissions

Among the transmissions, the continuously variable with the Multidrive S variator prevails. They were paired only with petrol engines 1.6 and 1.8.

6-speed mechanics is the standard for any motor. The clutch has a decent resource.

After restyling, the 1.8 engine in a number of countries began to be combined with a 4-speed automatic.

Walking

The chassis can be called elaborate. It's nice to run Corolla 11. It is neutral and predictable in most maneuvers.

The braking distance of 38.1 m on cold and 38.3 m after heating up the discs is an acceptable result.

In front, Macpherson racks are installed, and in the back - a semi-dependent beam. An electric power is used in the steering system.

Sometimes jams the mechanism of the handheld in the rear brake calipers. Often they can get rid of repairs. Otherwise, the caliper will have to be replaced - from 6000 rubles for an analogue or 33 000 rubles for the original.

Characteristic problems and malfunctions

To the corrosion resistance of the body while there are no questions.

But the places of attachment of the heat shield of the exhaust system can rot. Then the screen falls on the pipe, and from under the bottom begins to hear an annoying noise. Fortunately, the repair is simple and inexpensive.

Sometimes the sensor of the presence of the front passenger seat (calculated for a mass of more than 47 kg) fails.

For the least well-groomed Corolla ask less than 1,300,000 rubles. For more interesting options will have to pay more than 1,500,000 rubles.

The Toyota Corolla 11 is meeting expectations. It has a beautiful design and good endurance. Among the engines, the best choice is the gasoline 1.6. It is economical, durable and provides good dynamics.

• Engines: The most common gasoline engines of 1.33 and 1.6 liters.
• Problem: 33 still exists the problem of the formation of coarseness on pistons.
• Transmissions: Among the transmissions, the variable variable variable S is predominant.
• Driving: Sometimes jamms the handheld mechanism in the rear brake calipers. Often they can get rid of repairs.
• Characteristic problems and malfunctions: There are no questions about the corrosion resistance of the body.

Shows, bargaining and re-registration take time: buyers look, promise to think and disappear. Fair price after inspection closes the auction on the spot. If money is needed urgently, the purchase takes away waiting and repeat displays.

Leave a request with the car data. We will discuss the preliminary assessment and inspection. After checking the status and documents, we agree on the final price and terms of the transaction.
