The Toyota Corolla has just become more affordable and cheaper to run. The 1.33 dual VVT-i engine that the iQ uses, can now be found under the bonnet of the Corolla (Corolla Altis to Indians)
You see, overseas, the Corolla has the likes of the VW Jetta and Mitsubishi Lancer fighting for the coveted title of the best economy sedan. The Corolla in India faces little competition in India if you see its opponents in Spain. You got the likes of the Ford Focus sedan, the Mazda3 SportSedán and the Skoda Octavia breathing down the neck of the Corolla.
Apart from the 1.33 dual VVT-i engine, the Corolla gets a new diesel engine in the form of a D-4D 1.4 liter engine with piezoelectric injectors. The petrol engine gets a start-stop system which cuts off fuel supply when the engine is idling for long.
