Toyota launches limited edition Corolla

Bangalore, June 19: Toyota Kirloskar Motors today announced the launch of a limited edition Corolla in India.

Corolla, which dominated the executive car segment in India as well since its launch in 2003, was now available in two dramatically different colours - Metallic Red and Champagne Mica Metallic.

Exciting features have been added both in the interiors and exteriors to further enhance the luxury, safety and superior manoeuvrability that Corolla was traditionally associated with, the company said in a release here.

Announcing the launch, company Managing Director Atsushi Toyoshima said ''Corolla is a proven success globally and offers class leading comfort, luxury and safety. The limited edition Corolla is aimed at further delighting our customers.'' The limited edition Corolla offered enhanced styling on the exteriors with chrome alloys, a stylish side skirt in addition to attractive features like intelligent auto headlamps and ten spoke chrome finish alloy wheels, which complement the aerodynamic styling of the sedan's exteriors, the release said.

A touch of wood had been added to the steering wheel that also housed audio controls to ensure greater comfort. The interiors have been redesigned, offering luxurious seats and insulators that reduce noise, vibrations and harshness, the release said.

Corolla was powered by a 1.8 litre DOHC VVT-I engine that delivered a whopping 125PS.
