2019 Toyota Corolla sedan previewed by Japanese leaks
Hot on the heels of the hatchback’s official reveal, images of the yet-to-be-unveiled 2019 Toyota Corolla Axio sedan have surfaced in Japan’s Best Car magazine. Although the Axio is a cheaper and simpler.
Khodrocar - It’s worth remembering, these could just be a set of renders commissioned by the popular Japanese magazine, but past form on the Toyota Supra would suggest they’re accurate.
If they are on the money, we can expect a sedan with the same angular, European-inspired design language as the hatchback.
Although the nose is very similar, the sedan (or Axio in JDM speak) has a set of clear, slim tail-lights on the boot lid with just a hint of Mirai about them. We’re also seeing a touch of Lexus CT to their shape, although that might be drawing a long bow.
Best Car is claiming a length of 4500mm (120mm shorter than the current car) for the sedan, which rides on a 2640mm wheelbase and weighs just 1200kg.
According to the table, the Axio will have a 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine and electric motor in Japan. With a system output of 75PS (55kW) according to the table, we’d be surprised to see that particular configuration make its way down under.
