Space More space for more comfort.
<br /><br />
The design of Toyota Corolla places great emphasis on space, resulting in a light, airy cabin. The clever flat floor design in the rear, for instance, means back-seat legroom is the best in the class. The front seats offer plenty of comfort and an active feel, in tune with the rest of the car.
Interior Steering wheel Enhanced adjustable steering wheel.
<br /><br />
The Toyota Corolla steering wheel is four-way adjustable, and on higher grades it features optional thumb-operated audio controls. On cars fitted with MultiMode transmission, your fingers have easy access to the paddle shifts.
Optitron instruments Optitron meters & advanced LED technology.
<br /><br />
The instrument panel houses Optitron meters and advanced LED technology to minimise eyestrain. These meters provide information such as fuel statistics, plus a gear shift indicator for improved environmental performance.
Start button Simple to use start/stop button.
<br /><br />
The one-push start/stop button* complements the Smart Entry system to make your life easier. To start your Toyota Corolla all it takes is the push of a button. The key stays in your pocket or handbag.
<br /><br />
*Standard on Sol grade only
Paddle Shift & MMT Paddle Shift & MultiMode transmission

Two versions are available: Manual Transmission & MultiMode. New for Corolla are sophisticated fingertip paddles to control the MultiMode transmission. Choose between instant, fun command over the gears (Manual mode with paddle shift), or relaxed fuss-free motoring (Automatic mode). Move seamlessly between modes.
<br /><br />
N = neutral.
<br />
E = Automatic mode: shifts are made for the driver.
<br />
Es = Sport mode: automatic shifting optimised for sporty performance.
<br />

Central console Integrated music console.
<br /><br />
Beneath the ventilation controls, the clean lines of the central console contain a fully integrated radio/CD player with MP3 and WMA compatibility. A central bin has space for 13 CDs.

<br /><br />
*Standard on Luna and Sol grade.
Dual glovebox Large dual glovebox.
<br /><br />

Valvematic Greater performance, lower emissions.
<br /><br />
The advanced 1.6 litre Valvematic engine option offers a class-leading balance of performance and CO2 emissions. Valvematic is an innovation designed to vary both the timing and lift of the valves to achieve a better air/fuel mixture and optimise cylinder performance. This all contributes to a 0 to 100 km/h speed of 10 seconds* and a top speed of 200 km/h. It is available with manual or MultiMode 6-speed transmissions.
<br /><br />
* for manual transmission.
Enhanced suspension A safer, more stable ride.
<br /><br />
Toyota has improved the Corolla’s front and rear suspension, contributing to superior handling, stability and ride comfort. You are in full control, handling the car with confidence.
Stop & Start System Leading the way in technology, Toyota introduces a newly cutting-edge Stop & Start System that automatically switches off your engine when the vehicle is stationary*: zero emissions, zero noise and vibration. It restarts seamlessly the moment you engage your clutch, with no delay in power. Feels good, saves fuel. The 1.33 litre engine with Stop & Start System uses just 5.7 litres of petrol to travel 100 km**.
<br /><br />
* Toyota Stop & Start System is designed to work under certain operating conditions, please refer to your retailer for more explanation and/or user manual.

Toyota Optimal Drive Toyota Optimal Drive: better performance with lower emissions.
<br /><br />
How do you choose between environmental efficiency and engine performance? Now you don’t have to. With Toyota Optimal Drive continuous efficiency improvements are achieved by optimising every aspect of engine and transmission with the introduction of advanced environmental technologies.
<br /><br />
Standard on all Corolla petrol and diesel engines, Toyota Optimal Drive minimises fuel consumption and cuts emissions while maximising performance and driving pleasure. No need to compromise.
Safety Brake control Automatic brake control systems.
<br /><br />
For smooth stopping in all conditions the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is complemented by Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD). Optional Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) prevents slides by braking the appropriate wheel. And Brake Assist (BA) applies increased power for emergency stops.
Steering wheel Retractable steering wheel.
<br /><br />
In the event of a front impact, risk to the driver is minimised by a retractable steering wheel. The wheel is pulled away from the driver, helping reduce the risk of serious injury.
Whiplash lessening Whiplash reduction technology.
<br /><br />
Should a low-speed rear-end collision occur, Toyota’s Whiplash Injury Lessening (WIL) system helps reduce neck injuries through the use of a specially-shaped seat back and headrest position.
Collision resistance Excellent collision resistance.
<br /><br />
Corolla’s Minimum Intrusion Cabin System (MICS) acts like a sophisticated protective enclosure. Its front energy-dispersal zones, side-impact bars, reinforced centre pillar offer excellent protection to passengers should the car be involved in a side-on collision.
Knee airbag Driver's knee airbag.
<br /><br />
All Corolla grades benefit from a nine-airbag protection system, including front, side and curtain airbags. Drivers receive extra protection from steering-column related injuries with a knee-level airbag that inflates from below the main dashboard area.
NCAP Euro NCAP awards Corolla 5 star safety rating.
<br /><br />
The Toyota Corolla has been awarded the maximum five-star safety rating by Euro NCAP, with a class-leading total adult safety score of 34. Corolla has four stars for child protection and three stars for pedestrian safety.
<br /><br />
The maximum five-star ranking by Euro NCAP is testament to the design, engineering and build quality of the Toyota Corolla.
