2 Answers
As long as it is properly maintained according to the service manual, it can generally last up to 500,000 kilometers without major repairs. Below are the specific details of the Corolla: 1. Vehicle Positioning: The Corolla is positioned as a compact sedan, with dimensions of 4630/1775/1480mm and a wheelbase of 2700mm. 2. Powertrain: The Corolla is equipped with two engines: one is a 1.2-liter turbocharged engine, and the other is a 1.8-liter naturally aspirated engine. The 1.2-liter turbocharged engine delivers 116 horsepower and 185 Nm of maximum torque, paired with a CVT transmission. The 1.8-liter naturally aspirated engine produces 98 horsepower and 142 Nm of maximum torque, with an electric motor that provides a maximum power of 53 kW and a maximum torque of 163 Nm. 3. Suspension: The front suspension uses a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension employs an E-type multi-link independent suspension.
My Corolla has reached 260,000 kilometers now and has been running steadily with no major issues. The key is that I maintain it regularly – changing the engine oil and oil filter every 5,000 km, replacing the tires every two years, and never delaying brake pad replacements. Toyota's quality is truly reassuring, with durable engines and reliable drivetrains. When encountering bumpy roads, just drive slower and avoid stomping on the accelerator. Some ask about its limit – I've seen Corollas hit 400,000 km, but the crucial point is never ignoring minor issues, like checking immediately if you hear unusual noises. Fuel efficiency remains good, averaging 6.5L/100km, saving significant fuel costs over long-term use. The Corolla is the kind of car that becomes more dependable the longer you drive it.
