Toyota Corolla: What's new for 2012 model due next month

After its mild refresh for 2011, the 2012 Toyota Corolla gets more standard features, along with new audio, multimedia and navigation options.

The Corolla still comes in L, S and LE trims, like last year. The base L trim now has exterior-color power side mirrors, power windows with driver-side auto-down, power door locks and remote keyless entry, all standard. Those features were previously optional. The LE trim adds 16-inch steel wheels and steering-wheel audio controls to the standard roster. The S trim gets new double-stitched upholstered seats and the same radio upgrade found in the LE.

That new radio unit includes a USB port for MP3 players and smartphones, Bluetooth connectivity and automatic sound-leveling adjustments, standard. The radio is a factory option on the base L trim.

Most of the now-standard equipment was part of the Premium Package on the LE trim (formerly a $2,150 bundle) that also included a power sunroof. The new Premium Package packs a 6.1-inch touch-screen navigation system and Toyota's new voice-activated Entune multimedia system. Entune is also available on the S trim. This is the first time that either a navigation or a touch-screen has been offered on the Corolla since its midcycle redesign last year.

The 2012 Corolla will go on sale by mid-December. No word about pricing yet.

Woohoo Entune on the Corolla, I wonder if its hot swappable with older models like ours.

Well shit, maybe I can uptrade the 2011 I bought a few weeks ago lol

[Suprfire]

yup, i want to grab one of those navigation units.

Entune is NOT swappable into older Corollas, nor is it swappable in current Corollas that don't come originally equipped with it. Sorry, guys

Same thing goes for the Camry, Tacoma, Prius, etc.

I wish they did this THREE YEARS AGO, when I bought my car. blah.

[FlawedLegacy]

My goal with my LE was to turn it into a S basically, so not much left for me that is on that list. but nice to see more is coming stock

Finally Toyota made exterior-color power side mirrors, power windows with driver-side auto-down, power door locks and remote keyless entry, all standard on the Corolla.

In this day and age, manual windows and locks and remote keyless entry are

Keep in mind the article was from the USA, the specifications for Canada may not have changed in the same way.

Sounds like the Rosen option is still the best factory looking option since it looks like it's OEM for the 09-11 Corolla.

[Pavin]

Only thing I'd want is the double stitched upholstery...

[Jackss731]

i wouldnt mind manual windows and keyed entry if it had 200whp.

oh well, it IS a corolla after all

What's wrong with manual operated controls?

I won't mind paying a few thousand less if it means black mirrors, black bumpers, manual windows.
Will you react the same way when Toyota says automatic transmission is now standard?

I don't like much that standard wheels are now 16" because it means the cost of tires also increases for a relatively inexpensive car.

[arabianobsession]

Yep, same here. Reminds me of my first car
