Our trusty team-on-the-ground at Auto China 2014 in Beijing have given us shots of the Chinese-market Levin and Corolla on the Toyota stand – both dressed up for display purposes, by the looks of it.
This pretty much confirms that two versions of the current-gen Corolla will be on sale in China – the FAW-Toyota Corolla, which looks just like our Altis, and the new Guangqi-Toyota Levin, which gets a unique face, but a rear that shares similarities with that of the US-market Corolla.
Reuters has reported that hybrid versions of both sedans are planned to be made and sold in China, using locally-made batteries, hybrid transaxles and inverters. Learn more about the differences between the Levin and Corolla.

Although it resembles a ‘ D< ' face, I still kinda like the grill.
From now onwards all chinese will use levin as their english name…so xpect levin leong levin loo levin leow…levin will replace kevin as the most popular name among chinese…they will then dye their hair blonde to make them look move levinese…kahkahkah
Dye their hair blonde to make them look more levinese?
Since when Jews are blond?
Lewis Charles Levin (1808–1860), first Jewish Representative to the U.S. Congress
Funny u ask that…both chinese n jews r the same…go figure…n btw barbra streisand is blonde…
If Chinese and Jews the same, Chinese would have controlled everything in Malaysia like Jews did in US.
Thanks for bringing up Chinese to Jews’ level.
However, racism comment is not welcome here. Utusan is a better place.
This is really sexy!
Good job Toyota!
Nice…..
It looks wayyy better than any Toyota we have here bar the GT86…
Good job Toyota!!
Better looking than 86 or not? it is subjective. However, it is not comparable to 86 in terms of performance and handling.
86 has so many advance features like boxer engine, RWD, 50:50 weight distribution, double wishbone suspension etc. It deserves car of year 2012 from Top Gear.
Sucks man.. a legendary name revived onto an eco 4 door compact sedan.
Should’ve named the GT86 as Levin.
Aren’t those light shared by estima/previa?
the front grill looks like the preface-lift fiesta!
From Lancer GT grill … mod bit to Fiest/Austin … now Toyota… Seems like everyone run out of “fresh idea” liao…
Nice.. can star in Ultraman movies.
Sigh…Still prefer the BZ-R
what the hell is a BZ-R?
Look like ah beng car.
nice design but i think Levin design could be 5~10 yrs ahead and have a unique design, no similarity to existing model.
