What is the body weight of the Corolla?
2 Answers
The body weight of the Corolla ranges from 1265 to 1305 kilograms. Body weight refers to the weight of the car when it is fully equipped and loaded with passengers (including the driver) and cargo as per regulations. The Corolla is a car model launched by Toyota, with dimensions of 4635mm in length, 1780mm in width, and 1455mm in height. The 1.2T Sport version measures 4635mm in length, 1780mm in width, and 1435mm in height. The Corolla is equipped with a newly developed inline 4-cylinder 1.8L engine featuring dual VVTi technology. Paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic transmission, it delivers a maximum power output of 100 kilowatts and a peak torque of 175 Newton meters.
I drive a Toyota Corolla, with a body weight around 1,300 kg. The gasoline base model is approximately 1,280 to 1,320 kg, while the hybrid version is slightly heavier, ranging from 1,300 to 1,350 kg. After commuting for so long, I find this weight just right—not too heavy or too light. It drives flexibly and is fuel-efficient, consuming only about 7 liters per 100 km in the city. If the car is too heavy, fuel consumption tends to rise, and suspension wear accelerates. But if it's too light, it can feel unstable and floaty at high speeds. During regular maintenance, I check the weight manual. Depending on the configuration, like adding a sunroof or larger wheels, the weight can vary by a few kilograms. In short, a reasonable car weight is crucial for daily driving and safety.
