It will be the first time that Toyota excludes the diesel engine from its motor options. The new Corolla will be offered with only a petrol motor and a hybrid unit. Considering the decreasing popularity of diesel-powered vehicles in India, the same case will be applied to the country. Once launched, the new-gen Corolla will comply with the BSVI standards.

The current 1.8L petrol motor which can produce a maximum power of 170 PS and a peak torque of 200 Nm will be continued to be used on the new model. Moreover, a hybrid motor which is a combination of a 1.8L petrol motor and a 1 Nm electric unit with the total power output of 122 PS will also be added to the engine options of the new Toyota Corolla. The transmission duties on both of the two engines will be undertaken by a 6-speed MT gearbox and a new CVT unit. Once launched in India, the new Corolla will rival the Skoda Octavia, the Hyundai Elantra and the forthcoming Honda Civic.

The 2020 Toyota Corolla engines are expected to be BSVI norms- compliant
