Toyota Corolla EX

The Toyota Corolla EX is a mid-size saloon built in the People's Republic of China by the China FAW Group under licence from Toyota. When production of the Toyota Corolla Altis, which was popular in China, ended, FAW decided to build the Corolla in its own plants and bought the licences it needed. Production of the Corolla EX began in June 2007, and the car was sold in the range beside the Corolla imported from Japan. At first it came only in the G trim, with ABS, airbags, parking and reversing sensors, power windows, a manual air conditioner and an immobiliser, which FAW introduced as a new standard feature, together with a turn radar that warns the driver of obstacles. The engine is a 1.6 litre 1ZR-FE rated at 88 kW (120 PS), good for 200 km/h with the manual gearbox and 180 km/h with the automatic. The car was updated in spring 2013.
