Does the Corolla have a reverse radar?

Corolla does not have a reverse radar, but it is equipped with a reverse camera. The reverse radar is a safety assist device for parking or reversing, which can inform the driver of the surrounding obstacles through sound or more intuitive display, eliminating the troubles caused by the driver's need to look around when parking, reversing, or starting the vehicle, and helping the driver to overcome the shortcomings of blind spots and blurred vision. Corolla, once translated as "Corolla", is a brand of Toyota. The Corolla uses Michelin tires 215/45R17, TRD Sportivo high-performance shock absorbers, TRD TF4 17-inch sports wheels, reinforced clutches, and high-performance brake pads to ensure ideal sports performance.
I've been driving a Corolla for several years. My 2019 mid-trim model comes with parking sensors, which emit beeping sounds to alert me of obstacles when reversing, especially helpful in crowded parking lots. Actually, not all Corollas have this feature as standard; the base model might lack it, but an aftermarket set can be installed for about 500-800 yuan, which is quite worthwhile. From a safety perspective, parking sensors can reduce the risk of accidents, especially during nighttime when visibility is poor, and they're particularly beneficial for novice drivers. When buying a car, I recommend opting for this feature or directly choosing a higher trim with sensors to avoid potential losses. In short, parking sensors are practical tools—don't underestimate their usefulness.
As a car enthusiast, I've studied various Corolla models. For example, post-2022 new models often lack rear parking sensors in the base versions, but mid-to-high trims or versions with optional packages may include them, sometimes even with camera assistance. Rear parking sensors alert drivers by detecting distances, which is particularly useful in tight spaces to reduce the risk of scratches. I recommend checking the vehicle manual or consulting the dealer to confirm the configuration; if unavailable, installing a branded product like Bosch is reliable. Don't skimp on safety equipment—the repair cost from one minor accident could buy several sensors.
