Toyota revealed the Corolla Furia Concept at the 2013 North
American International Auto Show in Detroit. This exciting compact sedan
concept hints at the styling cues consumers can expect to see on the
next-generation Corolla. The concept represents an exterior styling
study by Toyota designers, and it builds on the brand’s product
development priority to develop more dramatic, expressively designed
vehicles.
“The Corolla Furia Concept is an early indicator of
where our compact car design may lead in the future,” said Bill Fay,
group vice president and general manager of the Toyota Division. “It
blends a heightened emphasis on dramatic design and modern elements of
high technology to generate curb appeal that will surprise a lot of
people.”
The Furia is designed around a theme of “Iconic
Dynamism,” which uses pure and simple surface elements to create a
confident, decisive and recognizable appearance appealing to more
youthful consumers. It features a more provocative, dynamic
interpretation of a compact sedan that displays a more stable, athletic
stance with 19-inch allow wheels pushed to the vehicle’s corners with
short overhangs to help emphasize its long wheelbase.
The
Corolla Furia design includes a swept windshield, with a sloped
roofline and pronounced fender flares, to help communicate a sense of
motion even when the car is stationary. The aggressively styled front
fascia, with a blacked-out grille treatment, helps highlight a pair of
sculpted front LED headlamps that combine with the rear composite LED
taillight assemblies to add a sense of advanced technology to the
Furia’s impactful exterior. Carbon fiber accents adorn the Corolla Furia
Concept’s wheel wells, rocker panels, and rear valance, which includes
ornate metal exhaust outlet surrounds to add a sense of modern
athleticism.
