2018 Toyota Corolla
Specs & Dimensions
Engine Specs & Performance
The 2018 Toyota Corolla gets its performance abilities from the 1.8L 4-cylinder engine situated
under the hood. The engine gets paired with the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), which
provides smooth and direct transitioning between gears that not only improves the vehicle’s polished
performance, but it also contributes to boosting the vehicle’s overall fuel efficiency. In terms of
its actual performance abilities, the Toyota Corolla and its 1.8L 4-cylinder engine can deliver 132
horsepower and 128 lb-ft of torque. The LE Eco trim also features the 1.8L 4-cylinder engine, and it
can achieve 140 horsepower, but drops in torque to 126 lb-ft.
Drivers can upgrade their Toyota Corolla to features different drive modes. The Sport driving mode will
improve the vehicle’s output to accommodate for the more aggressive driving style. The ECO mode
will help improve the vehicle’s fuel economy by reducing the engine output during normal driving while
limiting the amount of fuel delivered to the combustion chamber.

Features & Technology
Entertainment Features
The L, LE, and LE Eco trims come standard with the Entune™ Multimedia Bundle. This suite of
entertainment features includes a 6.1-inch touchscreen display that provides easy access when it
comes to selecting the media features. This system also features advanced voice recognition. The
advanced voice recognition allows for the media to be selected through voice commands, which
allows the driver to keep their hands firmly on the wheel. The steering wheel even features mounted
controls for the audio system, including volume adjustment, as well as seek/scan.
In terms of the media options, the Entune™ Multimedia Bundle includes six speakers, an
AM/FM radio, and a CD player. The vehicle features a USB port and an auxiliary input that allows
for portable media devices to be connected and played through the vehicle’s sound system. The
Bluetooth® system not only allows for hands-free phone communication, but media from the phone
can be streamed through the stereo speakers.
The Entune™ Audio Plus with Connected
Navigation App is included with the XLE and
XSE trims. This bundle includes a larger
7-inch screen, as well as some notable
media options like HD Radio™ technology,
Gracenote® album cover art, and a 3-month
trial subscription to SiriusXM® Satellite
Radio, which provides access to more than
170 different listening stations. These trims
also include the Connected Navigation
Scout® GPS Link App, which provides
turn-by-turn directions toward the set
destination while the HD Radio™ Traffic and
Weather provides instant updates on road
congestion and changing weather patterns
that could affect traffic.
The Entune™ Premium Audio with Integrated Navigation and App Suite is available as part of an
optional package. This bundle includes the same amenities as the Entune™ Audio Plus, but it also
includes additional features like HD Radio™ Predictive Traffic and Doppler Weather Overlay. These
features provide quicker updates on what lies on the road ahead.
5Safety Technology
This sedan comes with a few safety technology features. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System can be
a major benefit while out on the road. This system features a sensor inside the tire, which will detect
when the tire drops in air pressure. When a drop in air pressure is detected, the system will notify the
driver through a dashboard indicator.
The Toyota Corolla also features the Integrated Backup Camera. This feature uses the Entune™
screen to display the point of view from the vehicle’s rear to add extra assistance while backing in and
out of spaces. This system also includes a projected path, which will highlight the vehicle’s potential
destination based on the angle of approach.
Active Safety Features
The Toyota Corolla comes with the Star Safety System™. This system is the bundle of active safety
features that are included with the vehicle’s anti-lock braking system. The Enhanced Vehicle Stability
Control and the Traction Control both work together to reduce a loss of traction during slippery road
conditions. When the vehicle experiences wheel slip, these systems activate to provide enough brake
pressure for the vehicle to regain traction and stability.
Electronic Brake-force Distribution is also included with the Star Safety System™. This braking feature
will automatically vary the amount of brake pressure that’s applied to the front and rear wheels to
provide more control to the driver. Brake Assist will help the driver achieve full stopping power in an
emergency braking situation.
6Passive Safety Features
The driver and front passenger of the Toyota Corolla get protection from the Advanced Airbag System.
The front airbags will vary their inflation based on the severity of the impact to provide enough protection
while reducing the possibility of whiplash or other airbag-related injuries. Front passengers also receive
protection from the side-impact airbags. The driver also gets a knee airbag for additional collision
protection. All passengers in the Toyota Corolla get side collision and head protection from the side
curtain airbags.
The exterior of the Toyota Corolla was also designed to provide collision protection. The front and rear
crumple zones can help absorb the energy generated during a front or rear collision, and disperse it away
from the passengers inside the cabin. The side-impact door beams are there to ensure that there’s no
intrusion if the vehicle experiences a side collision.
Toyota Safety Sense™ P
One of key benefits of the 2018 Toyota Corolla is that it comes with driver
assistance technology that is standard at the base level. These features use
front-mounted sensors to provide more precision, safety, and security to routine
trips and lengthy excursions. The Toyota Safety Sense™ P bundle includes a
variety of features that will aid any driver on their journey.
The Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection uses the front sensors to detect an object in the path
of the Toyota Corolla. When the system detects a possible collision based on the distance of the object and
the rate of approach from the Corolla, it’ll apply enough brake pressure to help provide enough time for
the driver to intervene. The Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist uses the sensors to detect the lines
in the road. If they sense that the vehicle is drifting from its path, the vehicle will add brake pressure while
using the steering wheel to veer back into the correct lane.
The Automatic High Beams activate when the sensors detect that there’s a lack of natural light. However,
when there’s a vehicle approaching, the sensors will detect the vehicle and switch to normal headlights.
Dynamic Radar Cruise Control is very helpful during lengthy trips along a highway. This lets the driver set
a cruising speed and a distance from the vehicle ahead. The system will favor the distance over the speed
and will actively adjust its speed, if the vehicle ahead begins to brake to adjust to the flow of traffic. This
also helps reduce the risk of a collision.
