The weight of the Corolla is approximately 1.2 tons, and around 1.77 tons when fully loaded. Below are the detailed specifications of the Corolla: 1. The Corolla features a 4-door, 5-seater sedan body structure, with body dimensions of 4635mm in length, 1780mm in width, and 1455mm in height. It has a wheelbase of 2700mm and a minimum ground clearance of 152mm. 2. The Corolla is equipped with a MacPherson strut front suspension and an E-type multi-link independent rear suspension. It is powered by a 1.2L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 116PS, a maximum power of 85kW, and a maximum torque of 185Nm. The engine is paired with a 10-speed continuously variable transmission.
I think the Corolla's gross vehicle weight/curb weight is approximately between 1,300 to 1,400 kilograms, with significant variations between different models. For example, the basic 1.8L gasoline version usually weighs around 1,300+ kg, making it easy to drive and fuel-efficient, with an urban fuel consumption of just 6.5L/100km. The hybrid version, due to its battery system, may increase to about 1,370 kg, but offers more efficient power output. Lighter cars are easier to handle, requiring less effort when turning, making them particularly suitable for daily commuting. If you consider the gross vehicle weight when fully loaded, it can go up to over 1,700 kg, making it great for carrying cargo or family trips. In terms of safety, the solid body structure and high crash test ratings provide added confidence while driving. When choosing a car, consider the configuration—adding a sunroof or larger wheels may increase the weight by 10-20 kg, but it won’t affect daily use. The overall design is well-balanced, making it highly recommended for families or new drivers.
