Here’s how the next generation 2013 Toyota Corolla sedan could look like

The Toyota Corolla sedan has been a mammoth success for the Japanese automaker over the years with the car consistently being the best selling model for decades together. A mixture of reliability, practicality and affordability have been the major factors that has led to the Corolla’s enduring success world over.  In the Indian market too, the Corolla has been a big seller, in fact the best selling D-segment sedan. Toyota has been selling facelifted version in the form of the Altis currently and this car is available in both petrol and diesel engine options. By 2013 though, the Corolla is set to get a major facelift.

The 2013 model of the next generation Corolla is expected to retain the dimensions of the current model. However, the styling could see a full revamp. The 2013 Corolla is expected to borrow design and styling cues from the Camry sedan. So, expect the Corolla to feature flatter headlamps and more grown up styling to appeal more to the European sensibilities. However, that isn’t to say that we’re going to have some design flair. From the speculative renderings that have surfaced onto the interweb, the 2013 Corolla looks as conservative(read boring) as it has ever been.

All the talk of Toyota going in for a complete reinvention of its design philosophy seems just that, mere talk. That said, the typical Corolla buyer, who will be in the 40s to 50s might still be pleased with Toyota’s latest effort as the conservative styling has been one factor that has been common to Corollas across generations. From the renderings, it seems that Toyota has given the new Corolla a grown up look with more edges than curves. Though a little boxy, the new design looks much better than the outgoing version although there will always be a line of thought berating Toyota for doing too little on the design front.
