Next-gen Toyota Corolla rendered

The next generation of the Toyota Corolla has been recently rendered and the two images posted below are providing us with a first look into the final production version of the model.

The future Toyota Corolla, which has been codenamed the E160, will be inspired by the Furia Concept. According to the guys at paultan.org, the model will be 45 mm wider than the outgoing version and it will also sit 40 mm closer to the ground. Rumors are saying that the next generation of the Corolla will get a 1.8 liter petrol engine under its hood, along with a 1.4 liter diesel choice, mated to either a six-speed manual or a CVT.

Details on the next Corolla generation are limited but as a quick reminder, the Furia Concept has been officially presented to the public for the first time during the 2013 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit. The model is 4,620 mm long (181,9 inch), 1,805 mm wide (71 inch) and 1,425 mm tall (56.1 inch), riding on a wheelbase of 2,700 mm (106.3 inch). The Furia has received narrow taillights, a large front grille and some other tweaks which will probably be adopted by the next Toyota Corolla.
