The Toyota Corolla Fielder 1.5L 4WD—also known as the Corolla Fielder XI (1.5i AWD CVT)—is a versatile and reliable compact station wagon primarily offered in the Japanese domestic market (and widely imported to places like Kenya). Built on Toyota’s B-platform (E160 series), the 1.5‑liter 1NZ‑FE petrol engine produces approximately 103 hp and 132 Nm of torque, paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and full-time all‑wheel drive.
Produced between 2012 and around 2018 (with production for fleet markets extending through 2025), this version seats five and is configured with five doors in a spacious wagon body style . Exterior dimensions range from about 4,360 mm in length (early models) to approximately 4,410 mm in later facelifts, with a width of roughly 1,695 mm and a height near 1,500 mm .Curb weight is around 1,190 to 1,200 kg.
Fuel consumption for the AWD CVT model is typically between 6.1 and 6.3 L/100 km, or roughly 15.9 to 16.4 km/L (approximately 38–44 mpg depending on metric), though Kenyan usage reports actual consumption closer to 13.5 km/L in 4WD CVT variants.
The interior layout offers good comfort for five adults, and because it’s a wagon, the practicality shines with a rear cargo volume of about 473 L behind the rear seats, expanding to around 872 L with seats folded flat. Ride height (ground clearance) is typically around 135 mm to 150 mm depending on model year, suitable for uneven roads though some users occasionally adjust suspension for Kenyan conditions.
Safety-wise, features typically include ventilated front disc brakes, rear drums, ABS, EBD, and on later facelift models, Toyota Safety Sense suite with pre-collision braking, lane departure alert, and automatic high-beam systems
In summary, the Corolla Fielder 1.5L 4WD combines fuel-efficient performance, cabin space, cargo flexibility, and all-wheel drive capability—making it a dependable family or utility wagon that holds strong resale value, especially in markets like Kenya where Toyota’s reliability is well‑trusted
