1 / 3

Photos of China-market 2026 Corollas (source: Autohome). Wheels and equipment differ by trim — ask sales for real photos of your unit.

The 1.2T Petrol Elite uses Toyota’s 8NR-FTS turbocharged direct-injection engine with 85 kW (116 PS) and 185 N·m, through a CVT with ten simulated steps. It keeps the 4,635 mm body on a 2,700 mm wheelbase and a 50-litre tank. Over the Pioneer it adds 205/55 R16 tyres, a 10.25-inch touchscreen, power sunroof and six speakers, while keeping fabric seats and manual air conditioning that are easy to look after in hot climates. WLTC fuel use is 6.13 L/100 km. It is a good-value retail Corolla for markets that run on regular petrol.

Best for: Retail dealer stock in petrol markets and private buyers who want a sunroof at a lower price.

Questions about this trim

Is a 1.2 turbo strong enough for a sedan this size?

Its 185 N·m arrives low in the rev range, so it pulls well in town and at highway speeds. For heavy loads or steep roads, the 2.0L is the stronger choice.

What fuel does the 1.2T need?

92 RON petrol, the China standard grade.
