The 2012 Toyota Corolla CE, Corolla LE and Corolla S models are powered by a 132-horsepower, 1.8-litre 4-cylinder engine with Dual Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (Dual VVT-i) that delivers performance and efficiency. For even more impressive performance, the 2012 Corolla XRS is fitted with a 158-horsepower, 2.4-litre 4-cylinder engine with Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i).
Driving confidence is assured with responsive steering and a smooth ride. Electric power steering is quick and precise at all speeds, while boosting fuel efficiency and reducing maintenance costs. Up front, Corolla's MacPherson struts are optimized to reduce vibration while a light, compact torsion beam suspension holds the rear. Both feature coil springs and are enhanced with stabilizer bars, while the XRS model's suspension benefits from road-hugging sport-tuning for fun-to-drive handling and agility.
From its impact absorbing structure to advanced active and passive safety systems, every 2012 Toyota Corolla is engineered to help prevent accidents, and to protect driver and passengers if an incident occurs, offering peace of mind to drivers and passengers, including the standard equipped Toyota Star Safety System.
