I remember the 2021 Corolla is the 12th generation model, which was launched in 2019 and switched to the all-new TNGA platform, making the handling feel more stable. I've also driven my friend's 2021 model, which has quick acceleration and low fuel consumption, with an official fuel economy of around 5 liters per 100 kilometers. Compared to the previous 11th generation, it has a more modern design, featuring LED headlights and a larger trunk space. I usually pay attention to changes in car design, and this generation of Corolla also enhanced its safety systems, such as the pre-collision safety feature, making it very reassuring as a family car. However, it's important to note the year, as the 2021 model might have some minor updates, like screen upgrades, but its core remains unchanged. When choosing a car, I recommend checking its condition. There are quite a few of this generation in the used car market, and if well-maintained, they can last a long time.

I've been driving a Corolla for over ten years. The 2021 model is considered the 12th generation, which is Toyota's mainstream series. This car inherits the 12th generation's design language and has been selling well since its launch in 2019. I use it for my daily commute, and the chassis tuning is more comfortable, with spacious interiors that can easily accommodate four people. Fuel efficiency is a highlight; the hybrid version can travel about 900 kilometers on a full tank. The Corolla updates its generations quickly, with new models appearing after 2021, but the 2021 version is reliable in quality and easy to find parts for. In daily use, I find maintenance straightforward—just regular oil changes, and don't neglect tire pressure. If considering a used car, this generation holds its value well and is worth buying.

The 2021 Corolla is the 12th generation, with a really cool design and smooth lines, not as boxy as the older models. My friend bought one, and it drives light and nimble, with a stylish interior featuring a touchscreen and Apple CarPlay. The Corolla has over ten generations in total, with quick updates for each. This generation, launched in 2019, is quite popular among young people. The price is affordable, with new cars starting around 200,000 yuan. When chatting about cars, I found its hybrid version very practical—fuel-efficient and eco-friendly in the city. When choosing a car, I recommend test-driving to experience the power, as the generation represents overall technology. This generation has optimized engine efficiency, so don’t miss out during the promotional season.
