0.06 -> From our Riyasewana
automotive YouTube channel,
3.991 -> we've brought a Toyota Crown.
5.837 -> Sorry not a Crown; It's a Toyota Corolla.
8.416 -> The name Corolla came to society
14.455 -> from the Latin meaning of a small crown.
18.821 -> The Toyota Corolla has got all the
features and comfort just a little less
26.931 -> than the Crown; which is the high-end
or the best vehicle we've got in Toyota.
37.452 -> It is a vehicle with all the necessary
features we need to do our daily work.
45.515 -> Today we've brought you
47.309 -> a vehicle in the 9th generation of
the world-famous Toyota Corolla
54.134 -> that has come through 12 generations.
56.13 -> Let’s talk in detail.
58.212 -> Riyasewana is the only platform in Sri
Lanka that makes your car dream come true.

237.059 -> There you can check such vehicles
that are available at the moment.
242.857 -> Details of other vehicles
will also be mentioned below.
246.166 -> Now, let us start discussing
an overview of this Corolla 121.
251.526 -> As I said earlier,
252.804 -> this small crown or Corolla brand name
257.256 -> is a very famous name that we all know.
262.307 -> From 1966 till 2021,
266.569 -> Toyota Corolla is a brand name
269.788 -> that has introduced so many vehicles
to the market over 12 generations.
276.746 -> As a proper overview…
280.093 -> This Corolla can be seen
in different body shapes.
284.692 -> As you can see this is in sedan style.
286.396 -> Runx is made in a hatchback style.
290.796 -> It’s a sporty hatchback.
293.251 -> Fielder is made in station wagon style.
296.753 -> It’s very rare in Sri Lanka.
298.783 -> We've got the Fielder too.
301.807 -> This 9th generation that we brought
was only seen in the market after 2000.
307.931 -> But actually, it was in 2001 that this
vehicle could be bought from the market.
315.418 -> Its generation was called E120.
318.487 -> Although we call it 121,
320.474 -> this vehicle actually came to the
market as the E120 generation.
325.363 -> Even in this E120 generation,
328.518 -> there are so many
variants with many changes.
335.652 -> Today, we've brought a G-grade vehicle.
337.939 -> How is this different from other vehicles?
339.657 -> What's in this?
341.029 -> Further,
342.059 -> let's talk about the things that we should
be aware of when purchasing this vehicle.
348.671 -> Especially in the Sri Lankan market,
351.143 -> Mainly we’ve got X-grade, G-grade,
354.888 -> Luxia grade, X Assista package,
361.522 -> and the Luxel package which is
the rarest package in Sri Lanka
367.087 -> with the highest options and
functionality of this vehicle.
373.165 -> After all these, Corolla Axio which
we all know came to the market.
378.364 -> That was introduced as the 10th generation.
381.261 -> With this vehicle, during this period,
386.954 -> Nissan March, Mitsubishi
Lancer, and Mazda Familia
391.846 -> are the vehicles that came into the
market in competition with this vehicle.
399.551 -> Before talking about
the vehicle's appearance,
403.669 -> let's see what its engine bay looks like.
406.767 -> Before talking about the engine
bay of this Toyota Corolla G-grade,
411.585 -> I'll talk about the engine
lineup of all Corolla vehicles.
416.705 -> We can see a complete engine lineup from
a 1.2/1.3 L engine to a 2.2 diesel engine.
425.466 -> 1.3 L, 1.5 L, 1.8 petrol engines,
430.627 -> and 2.2 L diesel engines
432.727 -> can be found in this 120/121 generation.
439.774 -> If we talk about the engine of this
Corolla G-grade that we brought you today,
444.528 -> It has got a 1.5 L engine.
447.771 -> It’s front-wheel drive.
449.207 -> That means the power generated by this
vehicle is transferred to the front wheels.
453.205 -> As I said earlier, it's not a vehicle
that is made to drive at high speeds.
458.65 -> It's made to do our
daily activities nicely.
463.318 -> As the power, 105 hp is generated.
469.181 -> No use in talking about the
time to reach 0 - 100 kmph.
472.511 -> This is a JDM vehicle or a real G-grade.
477.229 -> There are several ways to identify that.
479.706 -> Since I talked about the engine
bay, I'll show you about it first.
483.942 -> If you can see this frame number.
487.177 -> If it has started with NGE and the
numbers are with breaks like this,
494.14 -> then it's a JDM model
496.231 -> or a Japanese Domestic vehicle.
498.692 -> In our language, I can say
that it's an exact G-grade.
504.649 -> If the words or the numbers are
written continuously without any lines,
508.581 -> then it's an import model or a model that
has been imported from some other country.
514.271 -> If we talk about the vehicle's drive train,
516.797 -> We can see both auto and
manual transmissions in this vehicle.
521.409 -> We can get a 4-speed automatic transmission
524.328 -> and a 5-speed manual transmission.
526.666 -> This vehicle has an automatic transmission.
528.421 -> Let's talk about it in
detail after going inside.
532.27 -> So, that's what we have to discuss
about the vehicle's engine bay.
534.938 -> If we talk about its fuel consumption,
536.945 -> Usually, the Corolla 121
is a very famous vehicle
540.98 -> with good fuel consumption,
542.903 -> a spacious cabin,
544.815 -> and a favorable maintenance cost
547.112 -> to do our day-to-day activities.
552.89 -> If we talk about the fuel
consumption of this vehicle,
555.652 -> It does about 12 - 13 kmph in city limits
559.112 -> and it does better when
going out of Colombo.
563.152 -> If we talk about the
vehicle's maintenance cost,
565.89 -> An average of 12,000 - 15,000 rupees
568.612 -> have to be spent to maintain
the vehicle in good condition.
574.649 -> To fill the fuel tank, we'll have to
spend around 6000 - 6500 rupees.
579.921 -> Now, let's talk about the
front appearance of the vehicle.
583.505 -> I don't think I should talk much about it
586.106 -> because we brought a vehicle that
could be seen on the road for 20 years.
590.889 -> At the beginning of the video, I said that
this is a 9th-generation Toyota Corolla.
596.074 -> In the previous generations,
598.019 -> we've got designs and the basic
looks that could be seen in the 1990s.
607.264 -> Upon entering 2000,
610.622 -> with the beginning of this new century,
613.75 -> we've got this vehicle with a classy design
616.822 -> and a posh look which
was suitable for that period.
621.572 -> Another thing that I must remind is,
623.738 -> Toyota Corolla's were
mostly sold in this generation.
631.447 -> With all these, we've
got this bulky design.
637.311 -> We've also got lights that
incorporate this design.
643.144 -> In 2004, Instead of
these round-shaped lights,
647.755 -> we've got a new facelift
with elongated lights.
651.116 -> That's the biggest difference.
653.054 -> And there were tiny
changes in the rear design.
655.008 -> Let's talk about them after
moving to the rear part.
657.66 -> Moreover, in the G - grade, we
can see such a powerful fog light.
665.687 -> We've got it only with the G - grade.
668.438 -> At first glance, we can quickly identify
that it's a G - grade using this fog light.
673.559 -> Within these years,
675.563 -> There was a chrome line
in the middle of the light.
679.703 -> In order to increase the stylish look,
681.709 -> small changes were done
within the 121 generation.
689.407 -> As I said, there were many trim levels too.
693.631 -> If we move to the right side,
696.609 -> We can see the shell with a
chrome and metallic silver finish.
703.598 -> It is designed to increase
the luxurious look.
708.909 -> We must talk about the badge.
711.955 -> At first glance, we know
that it's a Toyota car.
715.617 -> Therefore, we don't get the Toyota badge.
718.526 -> But here, we've got a
design of the letter "C".
724.418 -> "C" stands for Corolla.
726.389 -> From this middle part, they have
given the idea of a lotus blossoming.
733.232 -> The reason was that they
wanted to bring out its stylish look
738.91 -> and the appearance of a lotus flower.
745.575 -> As we can see the letter "C" here,
747.847 -> we've got the letter
"P" in the Toyota Premio
751.069 -> and the letter "A" in the Toyota Allion.
754.403 -> We can see the Toyota badge on the rear.
757.548 -> But we've got the front like this.
761.613 -> We've got the same badge on Axio
because that's Toyota Corolla Axio.
767.717 -> If we move a bit downward,
769.293 -> We have two air intakes here and here.
772.584 -> We've got a very high ground
clearance from the front.
777.268 -> You can go on many places without fear.
779.739 -> Even if the vehicle goes on a slope,
you can go without being scared.
785.666 -> This vehicle is designed to
make our daily activities easier
791.045 -> from the front light up to the rear part.
797.73 -> That's what we have to talk about
the vehicle's front appearance.
801.702 -> Now, let's see what its
side appearance looks like.
803.987 -> When it comes to the side appearance,
805.703 -> It's a bit bulky.
807.518 -> But we can't say that it's a huge vehicle.
811.603 -> But in the small range we've got,
813.985 -> it has taken up enough space and
if I say it looks bulky, I think I'm right.
821.913 -> We've got 14-inch wheels.
826.434 -> Although we think that Toyota
Corolla is a basic-level vehicle,
831.359 -> But actually,
833.48 -> In the Japanese Market,
Toyota Corolla is a vehicle
838.496 -> that can be customized from this wheel and
light to its interior color and everything.
846.54 -> But most of the vehicles
imported to Sri Lanka
848.896 -> were basic level or with
the standard options.
853.465 -> That's why we've got 14-inch wheels.
856.926 -> Moreover, we've got a
turning radius of 4.6 m.
859.924 -> We've got a considerably better
862.327 -> turning radius to turn the vehicle
easily when taking a U-turn.
869.336 -> The vehicle has got a huge
ground clearance of about 160 mm.
876.081 -> I talked about the front
ground-clearance too.
878.541 -> So, we’ve got such a ground
clearance from the side as well.
881.878 -> Moreover, it has got
such styling trims too.
883.987 -> Many people turn it to chrome
to enhance its luxury look.
889.843 -> This is a vehicle that came in 2000.
893.769 -> So, we won’t get
options like key less entry.
897.186 -> We’ve got door handles
that suit the vehicle.
902.782 -> Those days, winker mirrors weren’t
in the market.
908.552 -> So, we can’t see that.
910.137 -> For that,
911.544 -> we’ve got hazard lights or signal
lights on the fender in many vehicles.
918.63 -> When moving a bit backward,
921.501 -> This vehicle has got disc
brakes only on the front.
925.959 -> There are no rear disc brakes.
928.822 -> The front and rear
suspensions are also different.
935.075 -> As I said earlier, the rear wheels
have got bar-type suspensions
941.426 -> and the front has got
struct-type suspensions.
944.63 -> As I said it’s not a very long vehicle.
949.304 -> But this vehicle is only a little shorter
than the Toyota Premio and Allion.
957.109 -> Although the wheelbase is short,
959.65 -> the width of this vehicle
963.671 -> is quite similar to Toyota
Premio or higher-end vehicles.
973.475 -> So, this Toyota Corolla 121 has got good
cabin space or enough space for passengers.
982.377 -> When it comes to the
rear view of the vehicle,
984.682 -> Even though it is old,
987.873 -> we don't get the feeling that
it’s a vehicle that came in 2000.
992.953 -> It’s like a vehicle that
came in 2006, 2007, 2008.
999.168 -> We can introduce this 121 as a
vehicle that surprised everyone
1002.887 -> and got everyone's attention at that time.
1007.775 -> So, we’ve got a rear view or an
appearance that suits its front appearance.
1015.666 -> It has got lights that
everyone can recognize.
1018.987 -> So, no use in talking about them further.
1021.301 -> We've got a huge ground
clearance from the rear as well.
1028.283 -> Actually, this vehicle...
1031.169 -> Nowadays, even some SUVs do
not have such good ground clearance.
1036.455 -> We've got the key.
1038.269 -> We can open up the boot using our key.
1043.734 -> After opening,
1047.12 -> we have a nice storage
area that even I can get into.
1050.785 -> So, these are the things a typical
customer expects from such a vehicle.
1057.547 -> Let's look further...
1060.713 -> After lifting this part,
1062.546 -> we can see the spare wheel
and the toolkit of this vehicle.
1069.671 -> All our objectives
1074.97 -> are nicely given from the
front light up to the rear bumper.
1079.097 -> This vehicle's exterior
is made 100% practically.
1083.202 -> With such an exterior,
1085.341 -> let's see what its interior looks like.
1109.96 -> As soon as you enter or sit in the seat,
you'll feel
1115.172 -> that it has got more comfortable seats
than the other vehicles in this range.
1122.809 -> As usual, let's start to talk
about the vehicle's interior.
1128.012 -> We've got fabric seats.
1130.833 -> From this interior color,
1133.24 -> you can easily recognize the standard
G-grade vehicles that came to Sri Lanka.
1141.305 -> As I said in the previous video,
1147.089 -> you have the ability to customize
this vehicle as you prefer.
1151.008 -> But this standard vehicle
can be seen more in Sri Lanka.
1154.336 -> So that's why I can focus on these options.
1159.9 -> Although it's plastic, some
areas look like a leather finish.
1166.534 -> You can see a building
quality that is worth its price.
1173.832 -> The owner of this vehicle
has put a leather cover on it.
1176.951 -> Otherwise, we get a basic steering wheel.
1179.776 -> We've got two airbags in this vehicle.
1183.025 -> These too have got the
same pattern as the seats.
1189.408 -> It's a common thing for Toyota
Premio and Allion as well.
1196.315 -> We've got four fully
automatic electric windows.
1202.461 -> We've got the lock/unlock button too.
1207.002 -> We've got plastic buttons or handles.
1213.447 -> Usually, it is made of nickel
in some vehicles like G-grade.
1219.791 -> Maybe the piece fell off.
1221.719 -> With this handle, you can
see how that chrome part is.
1228.944 -> If we open the door,
1231.269 -> we can see another good storage area.
1234.546 -> You can put something like a water bottle
1236.526 -> and there is another
small part like a pocket.
1240.086 -> You can see another storage area here.
1245.362 -> Moreover, we’ve got
electric-powered mirrors.
1249.081 -> We can see a small shock hook too.
1253.765 -> If we go to our dashboard,
1256.499 -> you will see these dials in white.
1259.255 -> That’s also only on the G-grade.
1261.21 -> Its top speed is marked as 180 kmph.
1263.847 -> As I said earlier, in most JDM vehicles,
we can see a top speed of 180 km/h.
1271.37 -> If it’s 220 km/h or more than 180 km/h,
1275.104 -> as I said it is an imported model
1278.46 -> or a vehicle from XL / XLi versions.
1285.116 -> Below, we can see its odometer or mileage.
1289.884 -> We’ve got this gauge which
indicates the fuel meter,
1292.538 -> heat, and current gear.
1299.531 -> As in other Toyota vehicles,
we’ve got these two levers.
1304.821 -> Moreover, here we’ve got speakers too.
1308.5 -> It has a very spacious legroom.
1312.951 -> I have the ability to move the
seat forward/backward further.
1317.085 -> I think we’ve got a good legroom
as well as a good headroom.
1323.479 -> As I said, it’s not a very long vehicle.
1326.425 -> But its width is simultaneous
to other vehicles.
1333.389 -> If we move to this middle part,
1335.695 -> There is an analog system
that could be seen at that time.
1340.554 -> You can insert a display that you prefer.
1344.39 -> A normal cassette player
came as standard in the vehicle.
1348.895 -> There are four A/C louvers.
1353.08 -> If we move downward,
1354.732 -> Here, we've got the time display
screen with the required buttons.
1358.07 -> If we move to the climate control
part or the A/C compartment area,
1363.281 -> we’ve got such buttons in this vehicle.
1368.402 -> If we talk about these buttons,
1369.819 -> generally it is called
Touch A/C in the market.
1372.796 -> The reason to call Touch A/C is,
1375.102 -> in other grades we get rotary
knobs in the A/C compartment area.
1381.826 -> But in this vehicle, we’ve got buttons.
1387.391 -> Below that we can see
several storage areas like this.
1390.772 -> I showed you the door bins.
1393.289 -> Since we talked about the storage areas,
1395.595 -> Here, we have a very spacious glove box.
1400.291 -> We’ve got another area here.
1405.869 -> We’ve also got this area for storage.
1409.151 -> It’s built in a very practical way.
1416.415 -> Here, we’ve got a small hidden
area that is connected to the armrest.
1423.479 -> We’ve got a hand brake.
1426.142 -> If we move to the upper part,
1428.684 -> We’ve got two visors.
1432.251 -> Generally, we have mirrors in
the visors only on the G-grade.
1438.302 -> In other grades, the
visors are without mirrors.
1441.53 -> If we talk about the upper finishing,
1444.333 -> We can see a clothing that can
be seen in vehicles in this range.
1451.996 -> We can also see such lights everywhere.
1458.254 -> If we move to the gear,
1460.053 -> It has a gear knob that’s famous
and can be seen in many vehicles.
1466.289 -> We’ve got an OD button
and the shift lock button.
1470.461 -> Moreover, as it is a stylish trim,
1473.519 -> these panels come with a teak finish that
we expect to enhance its luxurious look.
1484.333 -> If we talk about the position…
1486.57 -> Let’s talk about it further while driving.
1489.065 -> We’ve got a good view.
1491.66 -> If you adjust your mirrors properly
1499.68 -> you can get a perfect view from
all the sides with zero blind spots.
1509.292 -> Mainly, that’s what we have
to talk about the front part.
1512.44 -> While these seats are like this,
1514.38 -> let's move on to the rear
seats and see what they're like.
1516.834 -> After moving to the rear seats,
1519.108 -> we’ve got the same comfort as the front.
1523.961 -> Although we call this a
vehicle in the budget category,
1526.461 -> If I say that the features and comfort
provided to the vehicle exceed that limit,
1533.669 -> I think I'm right.
1535.014 -> Because among the vehicles
we use for daily activities,
1539.366 -> it's at a good level in terms of comfort.
1545.346 -> Maybe that’s the reason why this is the
most selling Toyota Corolla in the world.
1552.968 -> We have ample legroom and
headroom in the rear seats as well.
1560.068 -> We can see teak panels like the front.
1561.839 -> We’ve got auto windows to the rear as well.
1563.996 -> We’ve got chrome handles.
1566.076 -> Moreover, there are two
pockets behind the seats
1569.921 -> where you can store something like a file.
1574.758 -> Here, we’ve got a
small part like an ashtray.
1581.15 -> When four passengers are going,
1583.529 -> we have an armrest with two cup holders.
1589.965 -> We can introduce this Corolla
121 as a very practical vehicle.
1596.027 -> Now, let’s see how’s the driving experience
of this vehicle while going on the road.
1601.281 -> Let’s drive and see the riding experience
of this Corolla 121 that everyone knows.
1608.371 -> As I said while talking about the interior,
1611.025 -> After sitting in these seats…
1613.064 -> Although we say it is a budget vehicle,
1617.8 -> it has more comfort than that limit.
1626.783 -> Generally, it’s a high-demand vehicle.
1629.535 -> As everyone says, it's a vehicle
that is hard to buy but easy to sell.
1636.668 -> We’ve got a comfort that suits it.
1645.506 -> With the 4-speed automatic transmission,
1649.439 -> we’ve got a very smooth driving experience.
1653.164 -> In today's market,
1657.999 -> we buy new vehicles at higher prices
1664.59 -> and think these vehicles
are twenty years old.
1669.743 -> But if I say that we can get good comfort
and a riding experience from these vehicles
1677.502 -> that you won’t be able to get from
new budget vehicles, I think I’m correct.
1684.58 -> Of course, they have paid a lot of
attention to the comfort of this vehicle.
1692.706 -> As I said, although
the A-pillar is quite long,
1699.958 -> if you adjust both mirrors properly,
1707.072 -> you can get the viewpoint
with zero blind spots.
1715.191 -> If you wanna go fast, you just
have to push the accelerator.
1719.478 -> It’s not a vehicle that is made to go fast.
1723.094 -> It is a vehicle made to carry out our daily
activities on the 'convenience' factor.
1727.705 -> They have focused on comfort
while achieving convenience.
1734.623 -> If I say that it’s made to do
our daily activities comfortably,
1737.964 -> I think I would be right.
1739.484 -> So, we can introduce
this vehicle in that manner.
1743.715 -> Our gear has two options called 2 and L.
1747.369 -> It is used to control your
vehicle when going down a slope
1753.943 -> and accelerating the vehicle.
1757.068 -> Many people switch it to increase
acceleration on normal roads.
1764.139 -> But it's actually used to apply
when going down a slope.
1772.888 -> We’ve got a turning radius of 4.6 m.
1775.841 -> Although we can't turn as
quickly and shortly as a Wagon R,
1780.504 -> we have a good turning
circle with this vehicle too.
1785.946 -> That’s what we have to talk about
the driving experience of this vehicle.
1791.541 -> So, that’s what we have to
talk about this Corolla 121.
