The redesigned, tenth-generation Corolla arrives with a new platform, a choice of two new engines, a reworked suspension, and more. A few centimetres wider but otherwise unchanged in dimensions, the new Corolla is 100 kg to 170 kg heavier, depending on the version.

The Corolla is offered in CE, LE, Sport and XRS trim levels. Interior and trunk The easily accessed front seats prove comfortable, in part because of their high seatback (that unfortunately does not have adjustable lumbar support). The driving position is good, but for short distances with the manual transmission since there is no room for the driver’s left foot. The driver’s seat does not slide back far enough for a very tall person. Headroom is relatively generous.
