The Corolla is one of, if not the most-loved vehicle model ever produced, topping the sales of even the well-known Volkswagen Beetle. It is popular for its easy handling, fuel economy, and overall reliability, and it is also very affordable, especially as a pre-owned vehicle. If you’re planning on buying a used Toyota Corolla in Kenya, Japanese exporters are the ones to go to. They have well-maintained stocks of low-mileage Corollas ready for shipping, and can deliver straight to your home port. The stocks of pre-owned Corollas span a lot of generation releases of the model; the most common stocks you will see belong to the last three generations of the Corolla: the eighth, ninth, and tenth-generation Corolla, also called the Axio. Let’s take a look at each of the three generations and see what makes each release special. Eighth Generation It was in 1995 when the eighth-generation Corolla was released. Toyota focused on improving the line’s safety, environmental impact, and cost of ownership. The design and components of the eighth generation release didn’t change much from the previous release, but it was still able to reduce the vehicle’s weight by up to 50 kg, a significant amount that contributed to a better mileage. The transmission was available either as a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic, and buyers could choose from various driving configurations and engine types (1.3, 1.5, and 1.6 variations). Generation eight offered different body types: a 2-door coupe called the Levin, a 4-door sedan, an MPV called the Spacio, a 4-door hardtop called the Ceres, a 4-door wagon, and a 4-door van. Expect to see these among descriptions of used Toyota Corollas for Kenya from Japanese sellers. Ninth Generation Five years after the launch of the eight generation, Gen Nine Corolla presented itself as one model with two body types: as a standard four-door sedan and as a five-door station wagon, called the Fielder. By this time, the previous GT sedans and sports models had been discontinued, including the two-door Levin coupe. The ninth-generation release was redesigned to cater to the younger set of the auto market. The new release had an increased wheelbase length, and body height, width, and length, making the new dimensions comparable to high-grade models such as the Premio and Allion. Used Toyota Corollas for Kenya from Japan have newly-developed engines that vary in displacement (1.3, 1.5, and 1.8 liters) and specifications. A 2.2-liter diesel engine with a direct-acting valve train was also available. As for the transmission, buyers may choose from a 4-speed automatic Super ECT or a 5-speed manual. It was also the first Corolla generation to be installed with vehicle stability control and traction control systems, advanced safety features exclusively developed by Toyota. Tenth Generation The Corolla Axio was launched in 2006, and while it retained the general design of the ninth generation release, it nonetheless came equipped with more advanced features such as a rearview monitor to aid in reverse parking. Engine types varied with the 1.5- and 1.8-liter and both engines use Super CVT-i transmission. These are the most recent used Toyota Corollas for Kenya from Japanese sellers. These affordable, reliable, and fuel-efficient models are highly recommended when you’re looking for the best pre-owned cars to buy.
