The Corolla model has been one of the best-selling models in the world since 1974 to this day. What is the secret of her success? The answer is simple - concise appearance and traditional Japanese quality. The body is well developed by engineers in terms of safety, which is confirmed by the results of crash tests from the American Institute. road safety(IIHS) and the European Committee (EuroNCAP).

The paintwork is quite thin and scratches and chips actively appear over time. Moreover, places where damage has reached the metal may bloom if no action is taken. Although you are unlikely to find a rotten Corolla in the 150th body.

The most common engine on the Corolla is the 1.6-liter 1ZR-FE with 124 hp. It is considered quite reliable among modern engines. It is worth noting that capital cannot be made on it, repair dimensions no pistons, thin-walled block. True, some owners manage to sleeve it.

The timing drive is a chain, its only replacement may be required already at 150,000 km. This is complicated by the fact that in parallel there is a need to change the stars, and they change only together with the assembled phase shifters, which is not cheap. Also, for such a run, the cylinder head gasket between the first and second cylinders often burns out.

Of the minor flaws - there may be problems with starting the car on a cold one.

There are no problems with the transmission if you bought a car with a mechanic or with a classic Aisin automatic. But if you happen to take a car on a robot, then most likely problems in operation cannot be avoided. On the one hand, this is the same mechanics, only with electronic control. On the other hand, specifically on the electronic part, problems may await. At best, it will be possible to get by with the initialization of the box. At worst, repair or replacement of its individual elements, for example, an actuator. Moreover, it is quite possible premature wear clutch assembly.

On the undercarriage the most weak points the steering rack and the intermediate shaft on the steering column are considered. The first problem is solved by using a PTFE bushing. The second is cleaning and lubricating the intermediate shaft.

Otherwise, there are no critical problems along the chassis; most of its elements, with moderate use, are capable of traveling more than 100,000 km.
Although, approaching this run, they may be asked to replace the stabilizer bushing.

The salon is pleasant to look at and modern for its age. But the plastic is hard, so crickets are usually a phenomenon here. The problem is solved by full or partial sizing of the interior parts.

A big plus of this car is that it loses little in price from year to year. But this is also a minus when buying a used car, in terms of a high price for this class.

Another big disadvantage is theft. In this regard, the car is not much inferior to the older model - Camry.

In 2006, the Toyota auto concern introduced the 10th generation of cars of the Corolla family: Toyota Corolla X (E140/150). The car was produced in a single body version - a sedan, and differed from previous generation E120 has a more modern and solid appearance, as well as significantly increased dimensions.

Dimensions of Toyota Corolla X:

• length - 4540 mm;
• width - 1760 mm;
• height - 1470 mm;
• wheelbase - 2600 mm;
• clearance of vehicles intended for Russian market- 150 mm.

This Corolla model has been and continues to be in great demand among motorists and, in addition, was highly appreciated by experts. So, as a result of crash tests conducted by the independent European organization EuroNCAP, Toyota Corolla E140 became the first class C car to receive five stars in the entire history of this organization. This was achieved thanks to an excellent security system: up to seven airbags were installed in cars, depending on the configuration; the front seats have a neck injury prevention device; a system is provided that notifies of unfastened seat belts and so on.

Difference between E140 and E150

A common mistake among motorists is the misconception about 140 and 150 Toyota models Corolla X. Many believe that the 140 series is pre-styling, and the 150 has been released since 2010. To dispel this misconception, it should be clarified: this is the same model, produced for different countries.

Toyota Corolla E140 is shown in the photo below. It was produced for the USA, UAE, Thailand and some other countries and has the following differences:

1. The cars were equipped with 1.8- and 2.4-liter engines.
2. The front optics is equipped with running lights (DRL), the number of lights reversing paired, fog lights are not provided in this version.
3. The rear suspension of most cars is independent, spring type.
4. Rear disc brakes.
5. The body kit of the main body elements: bumpers, fenders and sills - S and XRS series.
6. Body marking - E140.

Cars Toyota Corolla E150 (see photo) were produced for Europe, England and the countries of the former USSR. They have the following distinguishing features:

1. The interior is made in dark colors; dashboard Optitron type (with displays).
2. There are no DRL headlights in the front optics; fog lights and one reversing lamp are installed at the rear.
3. The rear suspension is represented by a beam. For Russian roads a special suspension design is provided, in which rear bumper car is slightly raised, and the consumables are stronger.
4. Rear brakes only standard equipment- disk.
5. Engines with a volume of 1.4 and 1.6 liters.
6. Body marking - 150.
7. Different from the American model body kit bumper and fenders.

Appearance 10th generation Toyota Corolla

The Corolla in the 150 body has gone through two updates, with the last one, in 2010, being more dramatic. The changes affected both appearance vehicle and interior equipment.

As a result of restyling, the car received a bumper of a different configuration, an enlarged air intake, chrome grille, the shape of the front and rear lights has changed, the design rims, turn signal repeaters appeared on the rear-view mirrors.

The changes also affected the interior. It has an advanced audio system with a USB connector and Bluetooth support. Expensive equipment get a reverse camera good quality with display integrated in the rear-view mirror. The upholstery was made with materials of more than High Quality, in her color scheme added different shades of gray.

The design of the steering wheel has also been changed: it has become flatter at the bottom and has received a thickened rim. The illumination of the instruments has changed from orange to white, which improved their visibility.

Updates also affected the control system: it became possible to open the trunk using a button located on the ignition key, front seats are equipped with electric windows in all trim levels.

Specifications Corolla 150 body

The tenth generation Toyota Corolla is equipped with two types of gasoline engines, with displacements of 1.33 and 1.6 liters. The first has a six-speed mechanical box gears, for the second, in addition to the “mechanics”, it is possible to install a four-speed automatic transmission.

The Toyota Corolla E150 is the 10th generation of the popular line of cars, which was released in early 2006. Despite the long development of the concept of the car, the new Corolla received both new features and shortcomings.

Toyota Corolla E150: briefly about the main

The E150 car was aimed at the markets of Great Britain, Central Europe and the countries of the former USSR, and differs from the American version in the body kit of the bumper and fenders. Also, the American Corolla has more functionality and power potential.

During its history, the E150 model has experienced 2 upgrades, as a result of which serial flaws and vulnerabilities of the brand were eliminated. And if the first refinement was aimed at increasing the functionality of the car, then the second restyling consisted in the global processing of the E150 concept - the Corolla, produced since 2010, is characterized by:

• Improved aerodynamics - the bumper and air intakes of the new configuration have increased the streamlining of the body, thereby increasing the downforce acting on the car. This innovation has improved the manageability vehicle when reaching cruising speed;
• Headlight adjustment - a new form factor of lighting devices made it possible to calibrate the light beam to European standards, as a result of which the quality of lighting has increased and the likelihood of blinding oncoming traffic has decreased;
• Improved design - restyling the car's exterior consists in installing light-alloy chrome wheels, changing the shape of the headlights, as well as installing turn signal repeaters on the side mirrors;
• Increased functionality - the car received an upgraded audio system with the addition of additional speakers, a rear-view camera integrated into the interior mirror and new upholstery.

Toyota Corolla E150 was produced exclusively in a sedan body - this decision was made to increase car sales in the European market. Unlike the old version of the E120, the new Corolla has a different design. executive class and increased dimensions, which increased the status car brand generally.

Specifications: what's special about the car?

The Toyota Corolla E150 was produced in two versions: with an engine of 1.33 liters and 1.6 liters. The motors work according to the principle internal combustion fuel with atmospheric air supply and are characterized by an independent fuel injection system.
Both versions of the engine are paired with a manual 6-speed transmission, however, the 1.6 liter provided a limited model with a 4-speed automatic transmission.

The weight of the car varies from 1300 to 1450 kg, depending on the modification and packages of additional equipment. Dimensions E 150 are:

• Length - 4545 mm;
• Width - 2600 mm;
• Height - 1760 mm;
• Ground clearance - 150 mm.

Corolla 10 generation is family car C-class, suitable for operation both within the city and on highways. The car is designed according to the NewMS front-wheel drive platform and has a semi-independent rear and independent front suspension. All brakes on the machine are disc brakes with an increased coverage area, as well as complete anti-lock braking system wheels.

Fuel consumption is 6-9-7.2 liters per 100 kilometers in the mixed type. For the full operation of the engine, it is necessary to fill in oil grade 5W30 or 5W40, average consumption technical fluid per 1000 km is 900 ml. The volume of oil in the engine is 5.6 liters.

Note! Toyota Corolla E150 functions stably only on high-octane fuel - the use of gasoline with a class lower than A95 is fraught with detonations and engine overheating, which leads to a decrease in the operational life of components.

Also, the design of the engines provides for the possibility of installing gas-balloon equipment of the Euro-4 format and higher, which makes it possible to reduce fuel costs without actually losing power potential.

Price in the secondary market: is it worth buying a used car?

E150 cost per secondary market in 2018 is in the region of 400-750,000 rubles, which is explained by the difference in the configuration and mileage of cars. When buying a car, it is important to inspect steering rack, as well as check the suspension and transmission of the engine - until the end of the operational life, the E150 may have problems in these nodes.

Particular attention should be paid to the version with a 1.6 liter engine and automatic transmission: The 10th generation of the Corolla has a lot of vulnerabilities in the automatic transmission, as a result of which it is now problematic to find a fully functioning model with a machine gun. The best option for purchase there will be a mechanic with a 1.3 liter engine for single trips or business, or a 1.6 engine for a family or traveling long distances.

It's important to know! When buying a car in the secondary market, you must complete diagnostics vehicle: check the engine, transmission, undercarriage and let down. Toyota Corolla is a "not killed" car, as a result of which it is often used by taxi drivers or courier services.

In order not to buy a car from under a taxi driver, it is also recommended to inspect the upholstery, the condition of the steering wheel and the resource of the buttons on the dashboard - heavy abrasions are a sign of intensive use of the car and it is advisable to refrain from buying.

Is it profitable to operate Toyota Corolla 150?

Toyota Corolla has a lot of advantages, among which engine durability and build quality stand out. The main advantages of the E150 model are:

1. Aesthetics - design solution Corolla is characterized powerful body and solid interior. Appearance The car has a streamlined design, there is enough free space inside the car for all passengers, and the interior upholstery is of high quality and pleasant to the touch. Main Feature E150 is a soundproofing of a representative class, blocking the access of noise to the car interior;
2. Reliability - the total operational life of the car reaches 400,000 km. All structural components are of high-quality assembly, the body is protected against corrosion, and the interior is resistant to mechanical damage;
3. Profitability - low fuel consumption and high repairability allows you to operate the Corolla even with a limited budget;
4. Ergonomics - Corolla has a small turning radius and high maneuverability, thanks to which it freely flows into traffic both in city traffic jams and on the highway. The car is completely user-friendly.

This car is unpretentious in maintenance and does not require large investments in the event of a repair or an accident - due to the popularity of the model, find original components at a low cost is possible in our time.

This time I decided not to limit myself to the most popular modifications, but to see all the variety on the market. Today we will see not only a car with a “robot”, but even a very rare diesel version, which were not officially sold with us.

So, what surprises can the Corolla bring in the back of the E150? The first "evil" of this Toyota - robotic box C50A. She is like a solid C student: she does, but does without thinking. Therefore, the gear shifts suddenly, abruptly and not very accurately. They say there are people who are used to it. But it is not exactly. This “robot” gives the owner a lot of fun, switching to neutral and “falling out” into a mistake when overtaking or on an icy road. The C50A also likes sometimes to just overheat and stop working for a short time. But this wonderful mechanism also has a good side: its absence on the restyled Corollas of this generation. So if you want a two-pedal car, you will have to look for a restyled Toyota no earlier than 2010, where conventional machine U341E - hopelessly behind the times, but a simple and reliable four-stage (as we like it).

Corolla was generally lucky with the motors. To be very picky, it is better to choose a 1.6 or 1.8 liter engine of the 1ZR-FE series. All other smaller engines are also good, but they are a bit weak for the Corolla.

Diesels, as already mentioned, are difficult to find, but occasionally they appear on sale. This is exactly the “eternal” car! And not because it does not break, but because it is strongly attached to its owner, which is why it is almost impossible to part with it (no one will buy it). Its only advantage is a very low consumption. True, and Horse power there are only 90.

So, let's see what we can afford for 600 thousand. Let's start with fantasy...

“Looking for a fool more stupid than himself…”

At first glance, everything is fine: a 2008 car with a 1.6-liter engine and a robot for 420 thousand rubles. But the mileage is really fabulous - 37 thousand kilometers.

Apparently, the owner drove 3.7 thousand a year ... The apotheosis of economy! Or just trying to cheat. No service book the owner does not, although he is one in TCP. However, as it often happens, “the moped is not mine, I just announced it”. As evidence of the truth of the mileage, he cites a tag under the hood about an oil change. It says on it that they changed it last year, next time it will have to be done with a run of 42 thousand kilometers. All this is as convincing as “thank you, we will call you back” from a Gazprom HR specialist.

All the monstrous lies of the seller are given out by the salon. The power window buttons are shiny, the paddle shifters are worn, like a janitor's broom handle from a housing office. Lever arm parking brake, steering wheel, plastic doors, even the condition of the pedals, too, as if hinting ...

Well, what about the body? But he's almost fine. Repainted only the rear left fender and trunk lid.

But, unfortunately, Toyota's paintwork does not set longevity records. if you try, the beginnings of corrosion can be found in many places.

In addition to the traditional places for all (arches, sills, corners and bottoms of doors), it is still worthwhile to carefully check the joints of metal panels and plastic bumpers. They rub against each other, and the wings at the points of contact begin to rust. And look at the seat slides: they also rust here often, which is why later you can find corrosion on the floors.

Now the question remains: how does a car with a mileage of 37 thousand drive? To be honest, the motor runs like clockwork.

But the “robot” here really shifts gears harshly. Although, perhaps, for the time being, you can get by with initializing the clutch or even replacing it, which the seller himself recognized as necessary, but estimated it at ... three thousand rubles! What can I say ... I still do not understand what he hopes for, trying to push the car on a “robot” with such an obviously coiled mileage. Is there anyone even worse?

Found a connoisseur!

I went to see this car only out of interest in the 1.4-liter 1ND-TV diesel. For a car manufactured in 2009 with a manual transmission and a mileage of 114 thousand kilometers, they ask for 510 thousand rubles.

Outwardly, she looks very dignified. Unfortunately, everything problem areas it has been repainted, and the LKP layer in some places exceeds 400 microns.

But here we find another surprise: the car was changing the front right fender, so one coat of paint there is no reason to consider its past completely accident-free. Here they gave out bolts with rubber gaskets: the factory ones were dyed evenly, and those that were installed during the repair were let down by rubber, which had absorbed fresh paint. Moreover, the car has different headlights: the right one is Hella, the left one is Koito. Everything together suggests that the car was in an accident after all.

The interior looks good, and it looks like the mileage hasn't been rolled up too much. I would say that it was not twisted if I was allowed to remove the cover from the steering wheel. Yes, and in general diesel machine the mileage is suspiciously small: usually these motors are chosen by those who have to travel a lot. Otherwise, there is simply no point in dealing with such a rare motor.

But there are no complaints about the motor. But this does not mean that you can safely buy any diesel Corolla with this engine. Here we have just the case when progress spoiled an initially very good motor. Initially, it stood quite decent fuel equipment Bosch, then for some reason it was replaced by Denso products. And, for example, no one wants to repair Denso nozzles, so they have to be changed, which is not very cheap. Then it got even worse: the nozzles became piezoelectric, and since 2008, these diesel engines have been equipped with a particulate filter indiscriminately.

So if these engines of the year from 2002 to 2004 were very tenacious, then on Corollas these are no longer those diesel engines that have the glory of eternal ones. However, eternal diesels With common rail does not exist in principle, especially if you expect to drive 300+ thousand kilometers without fail. If you really want to, you can remove the casing and look at the nozzles. If they are Bosch, then you can take a chance. But it's better not to.

After all, most importantly, a diesel Corolla is very difficult to sell: you need to look for a connoisseur.

In the top!

The next machine pleases complete set. There is everything that could be on this Toyota, including climate control and keyless entry. The engine is 1.6 liters, the box is robotic, although “automatic” is modestly indicated in the ad. They ask for exactly half a million rubles for a car manufactured in 2007 with a mileage of 150 thousand kilometers.

Here we immediately see the uneven gap of the front bumper.

True, there is no putty anywhere, so the repair was most likely cosmetic. However, there is a possibility that they painted it simply because it began to actively rust due to age and not the most better conditions operation. It makes sense to look for corrosion wherever it can be. It’s even strange that spars are already slowly starting to rust here. Nothing dangerous, but unpleasant.

But the interior looks good. Mileage can only be seen on the handlebar rim, but otherwise everything looks fresh. And it would be possible to ride this car if, after starting the engine, the letter N did not flash on the panel and the icon depicting a gear did not light up ...

Tenth Premiere Toyota generations Corolla (E150) took place in Finland (Helsinki) in December 2006. A car with a four-door sedan body type belongs to the middle class C and complies with Euro-4 environmental standards. Five door hatchback based on Toyota Corolla got its own name - Toyota Auris.

The new car was equipped with two engines of 1.4 and 1.6 liters, with a capacity of 97 and 124 hp. respectively, and two gearboxes - a five-speed manual and a five-speed robotic. In 2010, the car was restyled, as a result of which the car received a new bumper with a wide air intake, a new false radiator grille, headlights and turn signal repeaters on the side mirrors, and changed rear lights. New Toyota Corolla is offered with two gasoline engines of 1.33 liters (101 hp) and 1.6 liters (124 hp), which are equipped with a six-speed “mechanics” or a four-speed “automatic” (instead of a robotic gearbox)
