When FAN drove the Landcruiser 300 Series we noticed a different user interface for the multimedia system compared to other Toyota models which included a USB-C port. This small little change signals a significant shift by Toyota towards the standard many European brands adopted several years ago.
In a recent announcement of mid-year upgrades, Corolla will get the latest version of Toyota’s multimedia system, including additional USB-C connectivity. Corolla will also feature a number of updated safety and convenience features, and exterior styling tweaks including fresh alloy wheel designs and an updated colour palette
Toyota has announced a raft of upgrades across its passenger car and small SUV range, with the Corolla hatch and sedan, Yaris, Yaris Cross, C-HR, GR Supra and Camry set to receive a range of enhancements, to be rolled out over the second half of 2022.
