Where to Check the Engine Model of a Corolla?

Corolla's engine model can be found at the lower left front of the engine. The engine's function is to convert the thermal energy of gasoline into mechanical energy by burning and expanding gas in a sealed cylinder to push the piston and perform work. Taking the 2021 Corolla as an example, it belongs to the compact car category with body dimensions of: length 4635mm, width 1780mm, height 1455mm, wheelbase 2700mm, fuel tank capacity of 50 liters, and trunk capacity of 470 liters. The 2021 Corolla features a MacPherson strut front suspension and an E-type multi-link rear independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine delivering a maximum horsepower of 116PS, maximum power of 85kW, and maximum torque of 185Nm, paired with a 10-speed continuously variable transmission.

I often drive a Toyota, and the most straightforward way to find the Corolla's engine model is to open the hood. There's usually a label inside the engine compartment with details like the model and engine number. The location might vary slightly depending on the year, sometimes on the inside of the hood or the side. Another method is to check the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), which can be found on a label below the driver's side door frame or on the windshield. You can scan it with your phone or look it up on a VIN decoding website to extract the engine model. If neither works, check the user manual or purchase documents—they should have the information. I also recommend wearing gloves when handling this, as the engine bay can be hot and you don't want to burn your hands. This is quite important for maintenance and buying the right engine oil, so don't delay it.
