Toyota’s station wagon “Corolla Fielder” is a hybrid car equipped with a THS-II hybrid system with a reduction mechanism that achieves both low fuel consumption and excellent driving, the same as Toyota’s popular model Aqua and the third-generation Prius, and a gasoline engine. I have a car.
Hybrid cars are 2WD only and the transmission combined is one type of electric continuously variable transmission, but gasoline cars have two types of drive systems, 2WD and 4WD. There are two types of transmission, CVT and MT for 2WD, and only CVT for 4WD.
The Corolla Fielder grade is one hybrid and one gasoline model, and only “EX” is available. It’s a very simple grade configuration, so you won’t get lost in the equipment content. When choosing the grade of the Corolla Fielder, first decide whether it is a hybrid car or a gasoline car, and if it is a gasoline car, you will select the drive system and transmission.

Let’s take a look at what the Corolla Fielder is equipped with.
Exterior, Underbody, Mechanism, Visibility
The Corolla Fielder is equipped with a plated front upper grill and a black front lower grill, expressing the sportiness and style of a station wagon.
The suspension adopts a steel wheel with a 15-inch resin full cap. No option for aluminum wheels.
An idling stop device will be installed on hybrid vehicles and gasoline 2WD CVT vehicles.
Headlights are projector type halogen headlamps with manual leveling function. LED front fog lamps and rear fog lamps (embedded bumper, right side only) can be added as options.
The front door glass, rear door glass, rear quarter glass, and back door glass are standard equipped with UV cut function, but privacy glass with UV cut function is also available as an option.
Operation system/meters/comfort equipment
The Corolla Fielder comes standard with a push-button start system and smart key, as well as a tilt and telescopic steering wheel that can be adjusted in height and fore-and-aft position to suit the physique of the driver.
The steering wheel of the hybrid car is painted with a high-brightness silver paint, and the design is conscious of advancedness, which subtly differentiates it from the gasoline-powered car.
In addition, the hybrid vehicle is equipped with a DISP steering switch, which allows you to switch the display without taking your hands off the steering wheel for convenience.
Gauges are equipped with a twin-lens meter with a tachometer and a TFT multi-information display for hybrid vehicles, and a single-lens meter with a drive monitor for gasoline vehicles. A meter and tachometer can be added as a package option with Intelligent Clearance Sonar.
As for the air conditioner, the hybrid car is equipped with an automatic air conditioner and push-type heater control panel with a pollen removal mode function with nanoe, while the gasoline car has a manual air conditioner and a dial-type heater control panel.
In the Corolla Fielder, it can be said that the difference between the hybrid car and the gasoline car is noticeable in the specifications of the meters, multi-information display, and air conditioner.
Safety performance
Corolla Fielder is equipped with Toyota’s active safety technology package “Toyota Safety Sense” as standard equipment for both hybrid and gasoline vehicles. Toyota Safety Sense includes pre-crash safety, lane departure alert and automatic high beams.
In addition to this, the hybrid vehicle is equipped with a vehicle approaching alarm system, and the gasoline 2WD CVT vehicle is equipped with a drive start control that suppresses sudden acceleration and sudden acceleration due to a shift operation error.
In addition, hybrid vehicles and gasoline CVT vehicles are optionally set with intelligent clearance sonar [parking support brake (stationary object)]. This is a function equivalent to an acceleration suppression device for pedal misapplication, which helps avoid or reduce damage from collisions caused by sudden acceleration or sudden acceleration when the accelerator or brake pedal is depressed incorrectly. It’s an option I’d love to add.
Note that gasoline MT vehicles do not have an option setting for intelligent clearance sonar [parking support brake (stationary object)].

Corolla Fielder interior features
Corolla Fielder has a lineup of hybrid cars and gasoline cars, but each grade has one type of “HYBRID EX” and “EX”, making it a very simple grade composition.
The same interior is used for the “HYBRID EX” and “EX”, so there is no big difference in the interior depending on the powertrain. There are also no interior options available, so don’t expect seats or anything like that.
Currently, there are many models that allow you to select genuine leather seats as an option, but the Corolla Fielder gives the impression of being a stoic model without such settings.
The interior color of the Corolla Fielder is based on black, and the seat color is also unified to black. Four exterior colors are available: Super White, Silver Metallic, Black Mica, and Blue Metallic, but all body colors are combined with this black interior color.
The black interior, which is coordinated with the black front lower grille, gives a sporty and toned impression typical of a station wagon.
Fabric is used for the seat material. In addition, the seat shape with protruding side supports firmly supports the body, and is devised so that the body can maintain a stable posture even when cornering. The feature is that it is hard to feel fatigue even when driving for a long time.
The rear seat is a 6:4 split one-touch retractable seat with a reclining function.
