Toyota Corolla 2026– car dimensions: 4630 mm long, 1780 mm wide and 1435 mm high. Unladen weight is 1,430 kg. Braked towing is 750 kg.
The cabin has a standard 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus automatic climate control and a digital gauge cluster that is 7 inches on lower grades or 12.3 inches on higher ones. Driver aids are strong with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 standard, covering automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, full-speed adaptive cruise control, lane departure alert with steering assist, and lane tracing assist. Blind spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert is standard across grades, and a reversing camera with guidelines is fitted as standard.
The sedan trunk holds 371 litres with seats up, enough for grocery runs or a few suitcases. Rear seats fold 60/40 to extend space for longer items, though the opening is typical for a compact sedan and loading can feel a bit restricted.
Towing is limited, with braked capacity around 750 kg on hybrids and up to 1000 kg on some petrol versions, and unbraked at 450 kg. This suits a small trailer or light boat but not heavy loads. Payload sits near 420 kg depending on trim and equipment, covering passengers plus everyday cargo without issue for normal use.
The car is built for daily commuting and light family duties rather than work hauling. No heavy-duty cooling or reinforced suspension appears in the specs, so it stays in the compact passenger car category.
The cabin feels open and relaxing with soft-touch materials and a driver-focused layout that keeps controls easy to reach. Seats are sculpted for support during drives, with fabric or SofTex trim depending on grade, and space for five adults. Higher grades add heated front seats and power adjustments for a more settled feel on longer trips.

It covers pre-collision braking with pedestrian detection, full-speed radar cruise, lane departure with steering assist, lane tracing, road sign assist, automatic high beams and proactive driving assist.
