2 Answers
The weight of the Corolla ranges from 1265 to 1430 kilograms. Taking the 2021 Corolla as an example, its body structure is a 4-door, 5-seater sedan. The body dimensions are: length 4635mm, width 1780mm, height 1455mm, wheelbase 2700mm, minimum ground clearance 152mm, fuel tank capacity 50 liters, and trunk capacity 470 liters. The 2021 Corolla features a front MacPherson strut independent suspension and a rear E-type multi-link independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.2L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 116PS, maximum power of 85kW, and maximum torque of 185Nm, paired with a 10-speed continuously variable transmission.
The weight of the Toyota Corolla ranges approximately from 1,300 kg to 1,500 kg, depending on the model year and configuration. I've driven a Corolla for several years, and the LE version typically weighs around 1,350 kg. It feels stable on the road, doesn't feel floaty at high speeds, and brakes responsively. The weight affects fuel consumption; my car averages about 8 liters per 100 km in the city and drops to 6 liters on long trips. The body structure is solid, with sufficient steel thickness, resulting in minimal vibration over speed bumps, and even with a fully loaded trunk, it doesn't feel sluggish. Occasionally when changing tires, mechanics have mentioned the even weight distribution and balanced front-to-rear axle ratio, which helps extend the lifespan of components. Overall, the moderate weight strikes a good balance between daily usability and safety performance.
