Corolla Plus version is an upgraded model of the Corolla. Taking the Corolla 2021 1.2T S-CVT Pioneer Plus version as an example: it is a compact 4-door 5-seater sedan under FAW Toyota, with a length, width, and height of 4635mm, 1780mm, and 1455mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. It is equipped with a CVT continuously variable transmission (simulating 10 gears), with a top speed of 180 km/h. The Corolla 2021 1.2T S-CVT Pioneer Plus version uses a 1.2T inline 4-cylinder engine, with a maximum torque of 185 Nm and a maximum power of 85 kW. The trunk volume is 470L, and the drive system is front-wheel drive.
As a car enthusiast, I believe the Corolla Plus is an upgraded version of the base Corolla, incorporating more high-tech features to enhance driving pleasure. It typically features a larger touchscreen display with support for CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity, along with smarter navigation. The powertrain has been slightly optimized for more responsive engine performance and more stable fuel consumption control. The seat material has been upgraded from fabric to synthetic leather, making long-distance driving less fatiguing. The suspension system has been adjusted for smoother rides over speed bumps. Safety-wise, it includes an upgraded Toyota Safety Sense system with adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist, which are very popular in new cars. Personally, after driving it, I feel it's more suitable for younger drivers than the standard version. Although the price is slightly higher, the experience justifies the cost, especially for daily commuting which becomes more enjoyable.
