Toyota Corolla 2014 debuts at Dubai Motor Show
The 2014 Toyota Corolla debuted at the 2013 Dubai Motor Show. But before you run down to the showroom in excitement, know that the car isn’t slated to hit the roads yet.
As such, we have no information on specs, other than it will have 1.6-litre and 2.0-litre engine options, both mated to 4-speed automatics. If you remember, we had already predicted that the European version of the Corolla will debut here, rather than the American one. The GCC-spec version comes from Taiwan, and from what we saw, the new model benefits from a longer wheelbase and a fairly spacious interior with just enough soft-touch surfaces to keep it respectable.
The Corolla was the only fresh model at the Toyota stand, alongside a Toyota FT-86 concept that has already been confirmed as not going into production, while a selection of Prius and Camry hybrids, kitted Fortuner and FJ Cruiser models, and the mildly-facelifted Prado were all displayed aside from the usual model range.

True said samer..ppl really don’t know about technical specs they just look gear stick is there more than enough. Most of ppl don’t know what 4 speed and 6 spped stand for.
HAMZA
hmmmmm. 4 speed with 2.0 engine. that’s hurting
Prado
why are they not bring the turkish built with Euro spec one?.
K
Has toyota lost their mind by continuing with an ancient 4 speed auto?? Corolla is sold cuz of fuel economy so why on earth wouldn’t they add another gear or two? Absurd.
alaa
In Egypt the turkish model is coming with 6 speed cvt gear and the top specs. 1.6 comes with fabric with leather seats,dual auto ac & display with rear camera
the 2014 model is aviliable their in Egypt since last August, I tried the car & the interior was great like the quality of honda civic
At least we should have the same here
By the way this model will be aviliable in al futtaim showrooms on almost 5/12/2013 the top specs. 1.6 will cost about AED 68,000 thousands

Dear saeid, their are some updates that the car will be available on 28/11 after only 12 days from today. the american model is not available here in uae. and also the bad news that the car spec. are not like Egypt the high spec. one , specs here will be downgraded too much
it will be available in two models
1.6L with outdated 4 A/T gearbox with prices as below:
AED 59500, 63500 & 68500
the other model will be 2.0L also mated to 4 A/T gearbox starting from AED 66900

Sentra is still bar non the better choice but due to corolla name and inherent trouble free op it will out sell sentra in no time! Civic is gr8 but cramped inside! Else civic is my op 1st cabin material then sentra and last is corolla
Mujeeb
If 1.6 model is AED 68k then how much is 2.0? 75k? The pricing makes no sense, one can get a basic Altima for 75k.
Saeid
why altima .. go for mazda3 sunroof 2.0L . thats awesome !
Syed
Do any one know how much will the 2.0 carolla 2014. I heard that it is already on sale in KSA.
