Toyota has updated its Corolla and C-HR model ranges for 2022, introducing its new Smart Connect+ multimedia system, enhanced trims and colour choices, and a special new version of the Corolla Trek Touring Sports.

Both models now adopt the brand’s latest Smart Connect+ multimedia system, gaining increased connectivity, functionality and ease of use.

Provided as standard or an option on all versions except the Icon grade, the new platform has a more powerful CPU, operating 2.4 times faster than the current system. It’s accessed via an eight-inch HD central touchscreen and provides a number of smart connected services, including cloud-based navigation with continuous, ‘always-on’ traffic information, 3D city mapping, highway signage and fixed traffic camera locations.

An in-built modem enables these services to be accessed without phone pairing and without additional data costs, thanks to a four-year Toyota Smart Connect package. This includes local parking and road event information, over-the-air updates and a new on-board voice agent that uses natural speech to operate the multimedia and navigation.

Smartphone integration is either wireless with Apple CarPlay or via wired connection for Android Auto.

The 2022 updates also bring new colours for the Corolla hatchback, touring sports estate and saloon with the addition of Platinum White Pearl and Silver Metallic. These will also be available in a bi-tone combination for the hatchback.

The saloon also receives a new 10-spoke 17-inch alloy wheel design with a bright machined finish, fitted as standard to the Design grade.

The line-up also gets a new Corolla Trek Special Edition model, building on the established Trek Touring Sports developed in partnership with leading bicycle manufacturer Trek Bikes and introducing a higher specification.

It’s powered exclusively by the 2.0-litre hybrid powertrain and beefs up the standard Corolla with a 20mm higher ride height, wheel arch mouldings and front and rear under-runs.

Extra equipment on the Special Edition includes new-design 18-inch alloy wheels, chrome door window frames, while the cabin features piano black door handles, black leather upholstery and a satin chrome deco line across the instrument panel and front doors.

Toyota is also updating its C-HR mid-size SUV, including new-design 18-inch alloy wheels and revised seat upholstery and interior trim for the Design grade. The line-up also gets a new Deep Amethyst colour option that’s available on all versions and in a bi-tone finish on the CH-R GR Sport.

Order books for the revised 2022 model ranges are open now and customer deliveries will start early in the new year.
