Everything you Need to Know About the Toyota Corolla

The Toyota Corolla has a long-standing reputation for offering budget-conscious drivers a high-quality car at a reasonable cost. The Toyota Corolla hatchback and sedan comes with plenty of transmission and engine combinations, and it consistently receives high safety scores from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

If you're looking for an affordable and attractive commuter car, here's what you should know about the Toyota Corolla, courtesy of Kijiji Autos:

Basic specs:

• Body type: sedan or hatchback (since 2019)
• Number of seats: 5
• Number of doors: 4 (sedan), 5 (hatchback)
• Transmission type: Manual or automatic
• Fuel type: Gasoline or hybrid
• Number of trims: 5 - 6
• Fuel consumption: 6.5 - 8.6 L/100km city/ 4.6 - 6.7 L/100km highway

What's inside?

The interior is compact but comfortable, and the dash is designed with soft plastics and an easy-to-use infotainment system. Drivers looking for a more updated interior should check out the 2020 Toyota Corolla, the year it was fully redesigned. Some comfort-driven features include heated and padded seats.

The Toyota Corolla is a compact vehicle, so seating is comfortable but not as spacious as other full-size sedans. The hatchback version offers slightly more interior space, so test driving both vehicles to find the size that works for you is recommended.

Safety features

A rearview backup camera became standard in the 2017 model. In 2019, Toyota introduced its Safety Sense technology to its model lineup, which includes various advanced driver assistance systems, such as:

• Dynamic radar cruise control
• Lane departure warning system
• Advanced detection avoidance system
• Automatic high beams

How does the Toyota Corolla drive?

The Toyota Corolla has a higher-than-average fuel economy. While its lightweight frame means that this model can take corners really easily, its base engine has been said to lack power.

The all-new model features an eco-friendly engine start-stop feature, which drivers can easily turn off. The Toyota Corolla hybrid, which was introduced in the 2020 model year, is one of the most fuel-efficient cars in its class, with a combined MPG of only 4.5 L/100km. 

What technology is available in the Toyota Corolla?

Apple CarPlay became standard across all models in the 2019 release, and Android Auto followed two years later. Other technology features include:

• Bluetooth
• AM/FM/Satellite radio
• USB port
• Auxiliary jack

The infotainment system is only available on higher trims on older models, so drivers looking for a used Toyota Corolla should check out the 2014 LE trim. The touch screen infotainment system became standard on base models with the 2017 release.
