Sharing the show floor with the new Chinese-market Yaris at this year’s Auto Shanghai is the Toyota Yundong Shuangqing II, a concept equipped with a hybrid powertrain that’s currently being developed at the Japanese firm’s R&D centre in Changshu. Toyota says the concept previews a production model that will be sold exclusively in China.
Its name tells us that it’s very probably an evolution of the Yundong Shuangqing concept (without the ‘II’ suffix) of last year’s Beijing show – but its outlook rather resembles that of the Corolla Furia concept from January’s Detroit show, down to that shoulder line upsweep at the C-pillar.
And guess what – its 4.62 metre length, 1.775 metre width, 1.45 metre height and 2.7 metre wheelbase are quite similar to the Furia’s, too. Which leads us to suppose that it’s the next Toyota Corolla this bling-wheeled beauty is pointing towards – will the upcoming iteration of the hugely-popular C-segmenter gain a hybrid variant?
See a set of spyshots here, Theophilus Chin‘s Furia-based speculative renderings here, or watch Korean superstar Hyuna pay a melodic tribute to one of the best-selling vehicle nameplates of all time here.

why… why can’t toyota just make a car that looks at least 80% like their concept rather than ditching big tyres for smaller ones and a ground clearance of an suv???
Ahh concept cars all looks the same… other pls.
LISTEN! LISTEN! LISTEN… Toyota, please produce the next corolla altis the same as this concept, the all of us will have NO POBLEMS? GET IT?
Either way, Toyotas will always have good RV

very similar toyota avalon, undeniable Korean push the whole automotive design to next level
But kimchis will never have good RV
this one is collora? change alot.
Why “Yundong Shangqing”?
from the background in the photo above, “yun” is cloud, “dong” is movement, “shuang” is double/pair, “qing”is engine..basically the last two words refer to hybrid..
a corolla hybrid??
it is already on sale in japan and UK to name a few, which is known as Auris
look up for Toyota Auris Hybrid.
previous Corolla hatchbacks were known with many different names including Runx, Cielo and FX.
Looks like China is also ditching kimchis in favour of sushi
Must come with Auto-brake system coz I believe the Bumper will be damn Expensive !!
