The length of the Corolla is 4639mm, which is a brand of Toyota. Pros and Cons of the Corolla: Pros: Low fuel consumption; comfortable ride with smooth driving; rich and user-friendly interior configurations. Cons: Frequent issues such as oil burning, deviation, abnormal noises, electrical circuit problems, and weak brakes. Performance: Overall excellent power, fast acceleration, but sluggish at start-up with minimal engine noise. The new dual VVT-i engine pairs perfectly with the CVT transmission, providing ample power for the 2.0L model; the six-speed manual transmission is precise with clear gear engagement; however, the 4-speed transmission is relatively outdated.

Let me tell you about the Corolla's length. Last time when I accompanied my friend to pick up the new hybrid version, the sales brochure clearly stated 4635mm, which is 15mm shorter than my cousin's 2021 gasoline model. I remember my friend from the automaker mentioned that new models nowadays prefer shorter front and rear overhangs. Although the numbers appear slightly shorter, the wheelbase has actually been extended to 2700mm. Sitting in the back seat, my 1.8m frame still had two fists of space between my knees and the front seatback, making it more spacious than the older model. If you're considering the sport version, the body kit adds about 5mm to the overall length.

Recently helped my cousin choose a car and specifically measured the Corolla's dimensions. The gasoline version measures 4640mm. Interestingly, the wagon version comes in at 4635mm, while the hatchback version shrinks to 4375mm. Once at a dealership, I saw a salesperson use a tape measure to demonstrate that from the front bumper to the spare tire cover was just over 4.6 meters. A chassis engineer friend explained that while the front end is now 8cm shorter, the cabin has been moved forward, allowing the trunk to fit two additional carry-on suitcases. Over the weekend in a mall parking garage, I noticed that after parking in a standard space, there was still half a hand's width between the front bumper and the parking stopper.

Just checked the latest data on the official website: the 2023 Corolla gasoline version is 4635mm, while the hybrid version is 4625mm. This data reminds me of the actual car I touched at the Tokyo Motor Show two years ago. The sheet metal worker mentioned that the hood angle was tightened by 3cm compared to the previous generation. Once I saw one with a front lip added at a modification shop, making the total length 4642mm. Note that due to battery cooling requirements, the inward design of the rear bumper on the hybrid version makes the rear visually appear shorter.

The length of the Corolla varies by version: the standard sedan is 4635mm, while the GR Sport version measures 4640mm. Last week, I confirmed with a tape measure while renting one—from the front to the rear bumper's plastic trim, it was just over 4.6 meters. The salesperson mentioned that during design, the front wheels were intentionally moved forward by 50mm, reducing the turning radius without changing the overall length. When helping a neighbor move the car, I noticed that even in a standard parking space, the trunk could still be opened to retrieve a stroller.
