GL-marked Corolla models are entry-level variants. Since G models are rare in the domestic market, many dealers directly interpret GL as the base model and GLS as the luxury version. Here's relevant information: 1. Essentially, these just indicate different trim levels of the Corolla. GL represents basic configuration, GL-i denotes mid-range configuration, while GL-XI signifies top-tier configuration. However, these badges bear no significant relation to the vehicle's powertrain or intrinsic performance. 2. In fact, many early Japanese models used this classification method, but currently only Toyota maintains this "practice". This classification model reflects Toyota's brand spirit of adhering to traditional systems.

I often help friends look up car-related questions. Regarding the Corolla G, it's actually a specific model of the Toyota Corolla. In Toyota's classification, 'G' usually represents the mid-range version, which includes some basic luxury upgrades. For example, compared to the entry-level version, it might come with alloy wheels, a rearview camera, or a slightly better audio system. I've done some research on the history of Corolla models, and they're particularly common in the Asian market. For instance, the Japanese version, the Corolla Axio, has a G specification, which stands for 'Grand' or 'Grade,' positioned between the entry-level and high-end models—economical yet with a bit of prestige. When driving, the G model's cabin tends to be quieter, and the seats are more comfortable, making it suitable for daily commuting. If you're considering buying a car, the Corolla G has good fuel efficiency, affordable maintenance, and offers great value for money. However, configurations may vary by year, so it's safer to check the specific manual.

As a seasoned driver, I used to drive the Corolla G model, and I felt it was a balanced choice—not the cheapest, but reliable to drive. The 'G' in Corolla G means this model comes with some practical upgrades, like a larger infotainment screen and vehicle stability control, which are much better than the base version. My friend bought the G variant, and after five years, the engine is still running smoothly, with simple maintenance and low costs. In the Corolla lineup, 'G' usually stands for 'Grand,' offering a touch of modest luxury without being over the top, making it ideal for families. There are quite a few used cars of this model on the market now at reasonable prices. If you're considering a car change, it's worth checking out, but remember to test-drive it to see if the transmission shifts smoothly—this is an area prone to minor issues.

When I was buying a car, I specifically researched the various models of the Corolla, and the G is one of them, representing a mid-level configuration. It typically includes better interior materials, electronic features like a touchscreen or Bluetooth connectivity, and is more affordable than the higher-end models. The Corolla's design focuses on practicality, and the G variant also enhances safety features, such as including more airbags as standard. It offers smooth power delivery for daily driving, making it well-suited for city roads.

The Corolla G is a specific naming given by Toyota, representing the mid-range configuration model, which includes comfort details such as a sunroof and leather-wrapped steering wheel. I have used such a car and found its exterior design simple and elegant, suitable for young people, and not outdated when driven out. The Corolla itself is reliable, and the G version's engine tuning is reasonable, with quick response at startup. Maintenance advice suggests timely oil changes, which can significantly extend its lifespan.

Can a 2021 car pass the annual inspection after modifying the front grille?

If a 2021 car's front grille is replaced with a Chinese-style grille, and the owner goes to the vehicle management office in advance to file the modification and updates the photo on the driving license, the car can pass the annual inspection. However, if the owner fails to file the modification in advance and does not update the photo on the driving license, the annual inspection will not be passed. Relevant regulations for modification procedures: Since September 1, 2019, modifying the front grille of a car is considered a legal modification. According to the latest "Motor Vehicle Inspection Work Regulations," during the registration and annual inspection, the actual appearance of the vehicle should match the photo, except for modifications to the front grille. If the vehicle's appearance does not match the photo on the driving license and the modification is done without authorization, it is illegal. Traffic police may impound the vehicle and order the owner to revert the changes. Article 16 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" stipulates that no unit or individual may assemble a motor vehicle or alter the structure, construction, or characteristics of a registered motor vehicle without authorization. Regulations that do not require modification procedures: Article 16 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations" states that under the following circumstances, the owner of the motor vehicle does not need to apply for modification registration, provided that the safety and identification of the license plate are not affected: small and micro passenger cars equipped with front and rear anti-collision devices; freight motor vehicles equipped with windshields, water tanks, toolboxes, spare tire racks, etc.; and increased interior decoration of the motor vehicle. In other words, except for the above cases, any modification to a car requires filing with the vehicle management office.
