Review
The 2018 Toyota Corolla is powered by a 1.8-liter I-4 with 132 hp and 128 lb-ft of torque. The engine is combined to a six-speed manual transmission or a CVT. In the Corolla Eco, that engine makes 140 hp and 126 lb-ft yet it only features the CVT. The Corolla iM uses the same engine as the Corolla Eco sedan however rated somewhat reduced at 137 hp and 126 lb-ft. In the Corolla iM hatch, the engine can be coupled to a six-speed guidebook or a CVT.

The Corolla Eco is the most efficient at 29/38 mpg with the 16-inch alloy wheels or 30/40 mpg with the 15-inch steel wheels. The Corolla sedan has a 13-cubic-foot trunk that can be expanded through the basic 60/40 split-folding rear seats. For added practicality, the Corolla iM features 20.8 cubic feet behind the standard 60/40 split-folding rear seats.

Security
The NHTSA gave the 2018 Corolla sedan a five-star overall security ranking (from a possible five stars). The IIHS has yet to test a 2018 version yet the 2017 Corolla received a Good score on all crashworthiness tests and Appropriate on the headlights test (Good is the highest possible rating). In the front crash prevention examination, the Corolla received a Superior score after it prevented a 12-mph and also a 25-mph collision (Superior is the highest feasible rating in the front crash avoidance test). Because of this, the Toyota Corolla car got the Top Safety Pick+ honor from the IIHS. The Corolla iM hasn't been accident checked by the NHTSA and IIHS.
Every 2018 Corolla sedan features standardToyota Safety Sense-P, which bundles with each other adaptive cruise ship control, onward accident warning, pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane separation cautioning with guiding aid and automatic high beam of lights. The Corolla iM has Toyota Safety Sense-C, which just has forward collision caution, automatic emergency braking, lane departure caution, and automated high beams.
What We Assume
In a 2017 First Drive evaluation, we stated that throughout panic stops, the brakes don't inspire much confidence and that its acceleration is sluggish. Indoor space, on the other hand, is generous with a lot of rear-seat space and we appreciated that the car comes standard with innovative security features.
The Corolla iM hatchback provides a more comfortable flight thanks to its independent back suspension. Nonetheless, we kept in mind in a 2016 First Examination that it's also slow-moving due to the fact that it still makes use of the exact same engine from the Corolla sedan. Cabin insulation is remarkably great, with marginal noise entering the cabin. Like the Corolla sedan, the Corolla iM has a spacious cabin with plenty of room for all travelers and the hatch makes it a lot more practical.
Trendy Reality
The Toyota Corolla's 1.8-liter I-4 was originally presented in the 10th generation design when it debuted for the 2008 model year.
