Yasungulwa ngo-1966, i- IToyota Corolla namuhla ingenye yezimpawu ezinkulu kakhulu zohlobo lwaseJapan futhi yafinyelela enye ingqopha-mlando emlandweni wayo omude: ifinyelele inani elimangalisayo lamayunithi ayizigidi ezingama-50 athengisiwe.
Ukukunikeza umbono, lokhu kusho ukuthi, selokhu kwethulwa iCorolla, sekudayiswe isilinganiso esingaphezu kuka-900,000 amayunithi ngonyaka — iyimoto edayiswa kakhulu kwezake zatholakala futhi ngamajini anethezekile (kucatshangelwa zonke izizukulwane zayo).
Njengoba ukuthengiswa kusuka “kumnandi” - ngo-2020 "kuphela" kwakuyimoto edayiswa kakhulu emhlabeni, enamayunithi angu-1 134 262 -, i-Corolla inakho konke okumele ikhule, eminyakeni eminingi ezayo, lezi zinombolo, zisebenzisa eyakhe. izipho eziguquguqukayo osekuyisikhathi eside ziyisici sakhe.
"Unwabu" lwemoto
Ukuzivumelanisa nezimo esikhuluma ngakho kumane kubhekisele ekhonweni i-Corolla enalo kuwo wonke umlando wayo ukuze ivumelane nezidingo ezikhula njalo zemakethe.
Izalwe iyimoto encane edonsa ngamasondo angemuva, iCorolla selokhu yaba cishe yonke into kusukela kuhatchback, liftback, estate, minivan futhi, muva nje, njengeSUV (khumbula iCorolla Cross?). Idonsa ngamasondo angemuva nayo isikhohliwe phambilini kanti manje sekucatshangwa ukuthi iyidonsa ngamasondo angaphambili.
Njengoba isinezizukulwane eziyishumi nambili, iToyota Corolla idayiswa emazweni angaba ngu-150 futhi okwamanje ikhiqizwa angu-12 kuwo. Ngenxa yelukuluku, izwe lokuqala okwathunyelwa kulo imodeli yaseJapan kwaba yi-Australia, isizakala ngokuba seduze kwendawo phakathi kwalamazwe amabili.
Ukukhuphula impumelelo yohlobo lwaseJapan, iVolkswagen Golf eyimpumelelo, esenesikhathi esingaphansi kweminyaka eyisishiyagalombili kuphela emakethe kuneCorolla, ayikafinyeleli kumaki athengiswayo ayizigidi ezingama-40 (futhi, sibala zonke izizukulwane).
Kuwo wonke umlando wayo, ayizange ibe yimpumelelo kuphela emakethe, kodwa futhi inobukhona besikhathi eside emhlabeni wokuncintisana. Ayigcinanga ngokuqhudelana ngetiyela emicimbini yokuvakasha, iphinde yadlondlobala nasemibuthanweni (yanikeza iToyota isihloko sabakhi beWRC ngo-1999).
Kamuva nje, ukuzibandakanya kwayo kwezezimoto kuphinde kube “njengebhentshi lokuhlola” lobuchwepheshe obusha, isibonelo esikhulu salokhu kube iToyota Corolla esebenza nge-hydrogen eyangenela i-NAPAC Fuji Super TEC 24 Hours yalo nyaka.
