Probably, today everyone knows that the family of Toyota is Japan. The popularity of this brand is so great that the owners of the company for the period from 1966 to 2012 have released more than forty millions of cars in other countries. Toyota car release geography is constantly increasing. Today, the concern has 52 automotive plants abroad.
This popular brand is produced and collected in many European countries. Built plants in the UK, Canada, many countries of the African continent. Everywhere, in any country where the Toyota assembly is made, the quality of the products is the same. This is one of the main reasons why this brand for many years does not lose its credibility among the owners.
In Japan, the release was established on production in Takaoca and Tsutumi. Takooka is one of the largest companies in the world. The turnover of this company is more than 6 million cars per year. Working workers in this production of more than 280,000 people. This plant is the main supplier of Toyota for Russia and its regions.
Tsutumi is also a major center where the Corolla is collected. This plant provides the possibility of workers from Russia to undergo training and internship. This company also produces other Toyota models.
Toyota Corolla cars collected in Japan are noticeably different. An experienced specialist without much tension will immediately differ from the European assembly from Japanese. These differences are found in salons, engines, gearboxes. Unfortunately, cars in the regions of the Russian Federation are delivered without heating seats, and this delivers certain inconvenience during operation in areas with a cold climate.
Today, in connection with the increased cost of Corolla, the release of this model in Japan is collapsed. Increase the cost of this machine does not allow large competition. Therefore, the concern managers are looking for other countries to continue the release of this popular model.
Car production in Turkey
For many years of the owners and just fans of this model, interested where they collect Toyota Corolla, which is operated in Russia and neighboring countries. Most of these cars come to us from Turkey. The city of Sakarya became the Toyota automotive center in Turkey. In 2015, the threshold of released cars of 150,000 pieces will be exceeded. Collect and supply cars in more than 50 countries.
Turkey and Japan have long been partners for the production of these cars. Their cooperation began in 1996 from the assembly of the seventh generation Toyota. The pace for production and assembly at this plant remains high, and this makes it one of the best in Europe.
Release of cars in England
The history of the Bernaston Automobile Plant in England began in 1989, and after three years, the first Toyota Corolla left the factory gate. Today, this British company is engaged in the release of steel body elements, produces various panels and bumpers from plastic, and also collects other models of Toyota.
Production in St. Petersburg
His cooperation on the establishment of the release of Toyota Corolla between Japan and Russia began with the construction of the plant in 2005. The Leningrad Region was chosen for the construction of auto assembly production. Shushary became this place, where in 2007 the first Toyota Corolla was collected.
About 2 thousand people work on the firm. Training and internship workers undergo automotive industries in Japan. The shops produce welding, painting Corolla's bodies, as well as they are assembled until complete performance. The quality of products is subject to the requirements similar to the factories in Japan. Only in 2013, more than 35,000 cars left the company's goal.

Template rupture: Toyota has led to the world premiere of a frame SUV on small economy machines in Europe. This is all the same Prado of the J150 series, which is produced since 2009 and well-known to Russian buyers, but survived the second modernization. Moreover, technical changes in the car minimum: frame, suspension, steering and even power units remained intact.
The main emphasis of the Japanese did on the design. Farewell, tears on the headlights: with the new design of the front and the relief hood Prado looks solid than the predecessor and resembles the eldest Land Cruiser 200. New rear lights with LED stop signals and wheels of changed design with a diameter of 17 or 18 inches appeared. The length of the SUV rose 60 mm (up to 4840 mm), and the road clearance is unchanged 215 mm. Preserved in the gamma and short three-door version, but it is sold on a limited number of markets.
The interior is seriously reworked, although the overall architecture of the front panel is familiar. Changed device combination - with a color displays with a diagonal of 4.2 inches. There are new steering wheel and a completely climate control panel. The layout of the control unit of off-road functions is changed: the swing switches disappeared, and a large washer is now answered for the transmission control. Fresh Media System Toyota Touch 2 - with an eighty-loving display and an extended functionality.
Among the options now there are ventilation of the front seats, the electric heating of the second row, the windshield and the washer nozzles, as well as the new circular survey system from the "two hundred", which has a "transparent hood" mode: the front camera removes the road three meters in front of the car, and when the car It turns out that in this place, transfers the image to the screen, drawing the position of the wheels and the contour of the SUV. When the rear transmission is turned on, the side mirrors now automatically change the angle of inclination.
Motors are old: it is turbodiesel 2.8 (177 hp), gasoline "four" 2.7 (163 hp), as well as the atmospheric V6 4.0, which nominally develops the former 282 hp, but it is specifically defined to Russia Tax payable 249 "horses". The main gearbox is a six-speed "automatic", but the basic versions also have "mechanics": we have a five-speed box for machines with an engine 2.7, and in Europe - a six-step for diesel versions. Three existing driving electronics modes (Eco, Normal and Sport) are complemented by new presets of Sport S and Sport S +, which change the steering settings, "automaton" and optional adaptive suspension.
Transmission with constant full-wheel drive and downstream has not changed, and the Multi-Terrain SELECT electronic system, which is expensive, an automatic mode appeared. In other words, Pradik remained honest all-terrain vehicles, for which Russian buyers love him.
The production of updated SUVs has already begun in Japan, sales start in the near future. Including in the Russian market: car dealers will arrive until the end of the year. Doreformal Prado costs from 1 million 997 thousand rubles, although versions with the "mechanics" are not found on sale, and the prices for cars with the "automatic" begin with 2 million 672 thousand. The updated version will inevitably rise in price - including in order to free the price niche for the younger SUV.
