Toyota continues the series of teaser images for the 2014 Toyota Corolla on its Toyota USA Facebook page, which is turning out to be going down quite a different direction compared to the last two Corollas.
The latest set of images expose design features such as the headlight, fog lamp with a section of the front grille, the nose badge, 17-inch two-tone alloy wheels and a touchscreen audio head unit.
The detailed photo of the headlamp reveal a triple-lense configuration, and what’s interesting is that according to the teaser, LED technology is available for the main beam, which is a truly a rare item in the C-segment. In Malaysia, only the top of the line Prius gets LED headlamps.
This blue car being teased is the ‘S’ variant in the USA, as revealed by the first teaser which showed a red S badge at the rear along with a view of the taillamps. The outline of the front grille of this ‘S variant’ blue car has turned out to be quite different from all the previous views we’ve had of this new Corolla – check out the set of leaked images as well as the 3D renderings.
It’s either that this version of the front grille is part of a special more aggressive look for the S version of the US Corolla, or perhaps the US model is getting a completely different look from the Corolla Altis that the rest of the world will get?
The latest Toyota Corolla was teased in the form of the Toyota Corolla Furia Concept, and later a concept car that looked like an update of the Furia Concept called the Toyota Yundong Shuangqing II was showcased at Auto Shanghai 2013. Stay tuned for the official unveiling on June 6.
