Where is the radiator located in a Corolla?
1 Answers
The radiator in a Corolla is positioned in front of the engine, directly behind the front grille where it is exposed to incoming air. The radiator is a key component of the vehicle's cooling system, functioning to dissipate heat. Coolant absorbs heat in the water jacket, flows to the radiator to release the heat, and then returns to the water jacket to continue the cycle, thereby regulating temperature. The working principle of the radiator: when the engine's water temperature is high, the water pump circulates the coolant repeatedly to lower the engine's temperature, protecting the engine. In winter, if the water temperature is too low, the circulation will stop to prevent the engine from becoming too cold. Taking the 2020 Corolla Hybrid as an example, it is a compact car with body dimensions of 4635mm in length, 1775mm in width, 1470mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2700mm.
