And for 2011, the Corolla remains a cornerstone of the Canadian economy with the announcement Corolla will continue to be built in Cambridge, Ont., for all of North America. Not only are all Corollas made in Canada sold in Canada, but Cambridge builds most of those sold in the U.S. in addition to some shipped from Japan. Every Corolla sold in Canada is built in Canada; with 80 per cent of all Corollas sold here over the last 20 years still on the road today, the quality and reliability of this model speaks for itself, said Warren Orton, Director at Toyota Canada Inc. The 2011 Corolla was revealed to Canadian auto- motive journalists recently in Ottawa. The highlight is the adoption of the Toyota Star Safety System on all 2011 Toyotas including Corolla. The Star Safety System includes Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control (TRAC), Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist (BA) enhance- ments and Toyotas Smart Stop Technology. Smart Stop Technology operates only in the event of certain simultaneous brake and gas pedal applica- tions. When engaged, the system will reduce engine power to help the brakes bring the vehicle to a stop. As shown in Ottawa, all Corollas feature a fresh look with redesigned headlamps, tail lamps, front grille, front and rear bumpers, and trunk lid. The Corolla S and Corolla XRS are equipped with a redesigned flat-bottom steering wheel, an upgraded audio system with a Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD), integrated XM satellite radio, USB audio input and Bluetooth capability, a new combi- nation meter design and gauges enhanced with chrome rings. The Corolla S and Corolla LE feature newly styled 16-inch wheels. All Corolla models are equipped with six stan- dard airbags, including advanced front airbags, front seat-mounted side airbags, and front-and- rear side-curtain airbags. Seatbelt pretensioners retract the seat belt at the time of a frontal colli- sion, and the dual-stage force limiter helps limit the seat belt force applied to the passengers chest. Front seat integrated active headrests are stan- dard. If the vehicle is struck from the rear with suf- ficient force, a cable-actuated mechanism in the active front headrest moves the headrest upward and forward to help limit the movement of the occupant's head. For 2011 there are two engines available. The Toyota Corolla CE, Corolla LE and Corolla S are equipped with a 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine with Dual Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (Dual VVT-i) that delivers 132 hp and up to 128 lb/ft of torque. The Corolla XRS features a 2.4-litre four-cylin- der with Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) that generates up to 158 hp and 162 lb/ft of torque. Toyota engineers have enhanced both engines for performance and efficiency with systems such as the Direct Injection System (DIS) and Electronic Throttle Control System with intelligence (ETCS- i). Depending on model, there are three transmis- sion choices. A five-speed manual transmission features overdrive. A four-speed automatic and five-speed automat- ic Electronically Controlled Transmission (ECT) sport overdrive, while the five-speed also features a sequential multi-mode shifter. Fuel consumption (combined) by available transmis- sions by model is: Corolla CE and Corolla S 1.8-litre, five-speed manual, 6.6L/100 km; Corolla CE, Corolla S and Corolla LE 1.8-litre four- speed auto ECT, 6.8L/100 km; Corolla XRS 2.4-litre five-speed manual, 8.2L/100 km; Corolla XRS 2.4-litre five-speed auto ECT, 8.1L/100 km The 2011 Toyota Corolla will be on sale at Toyota Dealers across Canada in early January. Pricing for the 2011 Toyota Corolla will be announced closer to launch.
