The new special edition's additional specification (over and above Corolla Ascent hatch) begins with
16-inch alloy "blade" wheels with 205/55R16 tyres in lieu of 15-inch steel wheels. The 16-inch alloy
wheels and lower-profile tyres improve handling by increasing the vehicle's cornering stiffness compared
with the 15-inch diameter steel wheels.
In addition, Corolla Ascent Sport has front foglamps, Ascent 'Sport' badge and an aerodynamic kit
consisting of a front spoiler and a larger rear spoiler.
Exterior colour availability has been increased to eight colours with the addition of Tidal Blue,
which was exclusive to Levin SX and ZR.
Inside, the Toyota Corolla Ascent Sport has the new Gen Y audio head unit with monochromatic LCD
display, amber backlighting, joystick, single CD player, Bluetooth™** phone hands-free capability,
Bluetooth™ streaming functionality, USB connectivity and 3.5mm input audio jack.
It also has cruise control, a premium steering wheel and premium gearshift knob.
A 12V accessory socket is fitted as standard equipment in place of a cigarette lighter.
All Corolla models have vehicle stability control and traction control as standard equipment.
NOTES:
