The 2024 Hybrid Corolla Sedan has been announced as one of Toyota’s launches for this year. As the absolute sales leader in its segment, the model arrives renewed, with improvements that elevate the driving experience, comfort, and convenience, reinforcing the brand’s characteristics and responding to customer requests.

Pioneering the introduction of flex hybrid technology to the world, the 2024 Hybrid Corolla Sedan is even more efficient, prioritizing safety, low emissions, and reduced fuel consumption across all versions.

Toyota dealerships across the country are selling the Hybrid Corolla Sedan, which, starting from the XEi version, receives a new front grille, adding even more elegance to the model.

The 17-inch wheels also receive new designs, focusing on greater sophistication and sportiness. Still attentive to customer requests, Toyota has made updates to the dashboard of the 2024 Hybrid Corolla Sedan. The model now includes a new TFT cluster with a 12.3-inch digital display.

The GLi version received the 7-inch cluster that was previously equipped on the Altis version. For all versions, the infotainment system features a 9-inch screen with wireless mirroring for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Safety is also a highlight of the model, which comes standard with seven airbags, a rearview camera with projection on the infotainment display, a three-point seatbelt, and ABS with EBD.

Yaris Cross SUV

Being one of Toyota’s most anticipated new cars for the year 2024, the Yaris Cross SUV will begin production in December 2024 at the factory in Sorocaba, located in São Paulo. The brand confirmed that the new launch will have a flex hybrid option, which goes beyond the conventional, that is, the combustion one.

The Yaris Cross SUV will be produced on the DNGA platform, which essentially refers to a simplified version of the TNGA; however, this does not negate the fact that it is also prepared for electrification. The model, one of Toyota’s launches in 2024, will have a length of 4.31 meters, a wheelbase of 2.62 meters, a height of 1.62 meters, and a width of 1.77 meters.

Unveiled in Asia in May of last year, the Yaris Cross SUV features a 1.5 naturally aspirated engine with 106 horsepower and 14 kgfm for the base versions, and a 1.5 hybrid, combining an 80-horsepower combustion engine with a 90-horsepower electric motor.

The arrival of this model is expected to help the brand grow a bit in the national market. Regarding pricing, Toyota has not provided details but the expectation is that the values will range around R$ 140 to R$ 180 thousand in our market.

Toyota RAV4 2024

The 2024 Toyota RAV4 is one of Toyota’s new cars and arrives in the national market without visual changes in the equipment list; however, the only version for sale, SX Connect Hybrid, now starts at R$ 349,290.

The price is higher than last year’s lineup. The 2024 Toyota RAV4 features the same mechanical setup: a 2.5 combustion engine with 178 horsepower and 22.5 kgfm, assisted by three electric motors, providing a combined power of 222 horsepower and 20.6 kgfm. Equipped with all-wheel drive, the vehicle, one of Toyota’s launches this year, is fitted with a CVT that simulates up to seven gears.

In the 2024 Toyota RAV4, the safety package Toyota Safety Sense has been maintained and includes adaptive cruise control, front pre-collision assistance, emergency braking with detection of vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists.

The Japanese launch is also equipped with lane-keeping assistance with trajectory correction, 360° cameras, a rearview camera, a trunk with electric opening, heated front seats, synthetic leather upholstery, and an infotainment system with an 8-inch screen compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, without the need for a cable.
