The 2017 Corolla is coming up with aesthetic improvements along with new features. Its Indian launch is expected to take place next year. 

Toyota had revealed the mid-life update of the Corolla online earlier in March. Last week, the Japanese automaker officially revealed the vehicle in Russia.

Speaking of the changes, it was mostly the exterior which underwent the hammer. The new aesthetic upgrades have adopted Toyota's 'Under Priority and Keen Look' design language. It incorporates elements such as a slender grille flanked by new LED headlamps, which in turn provides the vehicle with a wider stance as compared to its previous avatar. The revised front bumper incorporates a large lower grille. 

The side and rear profiles have mostly stayed intact, save a few bits. The door handles have received a new chrome trim finish. The car now comes with a choice of new 16-inch and 17-inch  alloys. The rear profile gets new LED tail lamp clusters and a new, sleeker chrome garnish which further emphasises the vehicle's width.

The interior has also stayed the same including the steering wheel and the layout. However, there are a few subtle changes such as the upgraded instrument cluster and the new MID screen -- which looks similar to the one in the new Innova Crysta and the upcoming Toyota Fortuner. The new infotainment system has also been borrowed from the Innova Crysta and will probably have similar features. The climate control unit has been updated. 

Mechanically, it is most likely to carry forward the same 1.8-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, along with the 1.4-litre turbo diesel. The automaker has remained mum as far as the engine is concerned.
