The European-market version of the Corolla that's offered exclusively in sedan form has just received a mid-life facelift for 2010 with freshened exterior and interior styling.
On the outside, the updated "Corolla 2010" gets a new front fascia with a redesigned bumper, upper and lower grille, as well as restyled headlamps. To the rear, changes include the new license plate garnish, tail lamps and bumper.
The new, power retractable door mirrors with integral turn indicators and fresh designs for the hub-caps and alloy wheels complete the exterior makeover.
Toyota claims that the goal for the interior redesign was to "enhance perceived quality".
A side from the new, flat bottomed steering wheel with a thicker rim, the "Corolla 2010" also gets a different combination meter while the instrument panel and door handle trim are now finished in silver coating. The same finish is also found on the centre console and door switch surrounds.
Other upgrades include the addition of a remote control trunk opening function on the ignition key, the new seat fabrics and the a newly available, Alcantara upholstery.
The Corolla 2010 engine line-up includes 1.33-liter Dual VVT-i and 1.6-liter Valvematic petrol engines, and 1.4-liter and 2.0-liter D-4D diesel units.

a few years ago you could say: you're buying a toyota not for its design, but for its quality... but now, what's really left for it?
New corolla with diesel!
"New corolla with diesel!"
Holy dogshit! I'm mean I really wanted to go to the dust museum today, but a diesel version of a relentlessly boring car has made up for it!
Lets compare it with the new Elantra!
The tail lamps look like Chinese car's
That car looks like a baby version of Camry 4cycl sold in Australia. I thought I am a tolerant person when it comes to blandly designed toyota cars now their design are getting worse by the days.
Its quality written all over it. but design matters..may be they will realise after few years or may be i am wrong.
Safe Critic.
It's ... Still Ok ... For Me ...
How much would it cost to just hire an Italian design studio ? I mean really.....
car's styling looks like a total dog and the interior and steering wheel look so cheap, that if you stuck a lump of coal up its ass, in a week you'd have a diamond.
This is an improvement??
Ok, the front resembles a Camry but what's going on with the tail light cluster? That is just messy!
Two words: (2011) Hyundai Elantra
Hyundai Elantra - Cinderella
Toyota Corolla - Ugly sister! :)
Lately toyota thinks that replacing headlights/taillights makes a new car (and probably they think it makes car more reliable and makes people forget too)
Please Toyota go back to the drawing boards (in company of an Italian designer and go back to copying really good German engineering )
One word TOYOTA ::!!!!
