In the front collision avoidance examination, the Corolla got a Superior score after it stayed clear of a 12-mph and also a 25-mph accident (Superior is the highest possible rating in the front accident prevention examination).

What We Think

In a 2017 First Drive review, we said that throughout panic stops, the brakes do not inspire much confidence which its velocity is slow. Indoor room, on the other hand, is generous with plenty of rear-seat room and also we valued that the auto comes requirement with sophisticated safety and security functions.

The Corolla iM hatchback provides an extra comfy ride thanks to its independent back suspension. However, we noted in a 2016 First Examination that it's likewise sluggish due to the fact that it still uses the very same engine from the Corolla car. Cabin insulation is surprisingly great, with marginal noise entering the cabin. Like the Corolla car, the Corolla iM has a roomy cabin with a lot of area for all passengers and also the hatch makes it a lot more functional.

Cool Truth

The Toyota Corolla's 1.8-liter I-4 was initially introduced in the 10th generation version when it debuted for the 2008 model year.
