1st pics of the MY 2017 facelift. This is the EU version; which SA will get.

"Currently sold in approximately 150 countries and regions around the world and accounting for around 20% of Toyota's global sales, the Toyota Corolla remains the most popular vehicle in the company's line-up.

The updated Toyota Corolla model range now introduces a new and advanced exterior styling. The front has been completely restyled to highlight a wider vehicle stance and a more prestigious design. It incorporates Toyota's Under Priority and Keen Look design language featuring a small upper grille flanked by new LED headlamp clusters, including new LED light guides, and a revised front bumper incorporating a large lower grille.

To the side, the door handles receive a new chrome trim finish, enhancing the character line running from the front to the rear of the vehicle. A choice of new 16" and 17" alloy wheel designs is available.

Greater style is added to the rear through the adoption of new LED tail lamp clusters and a new chrome garnish which further emphasizes the vehicle width.

The new Toyota Corolla is available in a choice of 9 body colours, of which 3 are new: Platinum Bronze, Tokyo Red and Earth Bronze.

Fitted as standard across the entire model range, Toyota Safety Sense helps to prevent or mitigate collisions across a wide range of traffic situations by processing information provided by a compact, windscreen head-mounted unit housing both a laser and a camera.

Toyota Safety Sense incorporates a Pre-Collision System (PCS), Lane Departure Alert (LDA), Road Sign Assist (RSA) and Automatic High Beam (AHB). Thanks to the system reducing the risk of being involved in traffic accidents, drivers of the new Corolla may benefit from lower insurance costs[1] or more advantageous insurance reclassification1.

The new Toyota Corolla goes on sale throughout Europe in summer 2016."

Front styling is too aggressive for a 'rolla so I don't like :p

Seriously though, this is the best looking Corolla since the RXi shape.
 
Its a Toyota, its a Corolla, and it looks great.

The only problem is that the mid priced sedans are now nearing the R250k mark, not too short of a luxury sedan..
 
The Corolla is actually starting to look decent again...
 
Looks as if they did the chassis and bumpers first and then put a undersized body in between.

Was about to say something similar. Seems they are trying to shake off the "pensioner" vibe of the old corollas.
 
Looks nice, but not too different from the current one except for the larger lower grille. I hope those additional safety features do not translate to a large price increase.
