Car technology
A host of intelligent technologies inside Corolla make driving safer, easier and even more enjoyable than ever in the world's most popular small car.
The car technology under the hood includes a 1.8L engine which delivers an energetic and lively driving experience. While the powerful 2.0 litre luxury-grade Ultima delivers a deliciously spirited drive.
Corolla's car technology is complete with gadgets. Its stylish D-shaped steering wheel features some handy one touch controls for Corolla's fully equipped audio (steering wheel controls not on Ascent), cruise control (not on Ascent), and multi-information display systems (steering wheel controls not on any sedan models). And fumbling for keys is a thing of the past with Corolla's keyless entry system^^^ and push button start^^^ for quick and easy getaways.
Dynamic acceleration, fuel efficiency and low exhaust emissions are all hallmarks of the engine under the hood of every Corolla.
The 1.8L engine delivers that extra bit of power and acceleration making driving the car an even more enjoyable experience.

Instruments and controls
Ergonomically designed with a streamlined centre console, the Corolla's instruments and controls are visible at a glance. They provide all the information you need about the car's operations and performance. You wouldn't expect anything less from the world's most popular small car.
Available in the Levin ZR and Ultima models, Corolla's smart entry system allows you to unlock the car with no fuss or bother. Smart entry is part of a computerised system that uses electronic sensors and transmitters which allow you to unlock the doors by gripping one of the front door handles.
Push button start
Turning a key to switch on the ignition is a thing of the past. The Corolla utilises a push button start system on its Levin ZR and Ultima models.
The Corolla's key transmits a secure ID, which the car's computer verifies once you're inside.
Cruise control
Corolla's cruise control system, which comes as standard across most models (optional on Ascent models), allows you to simply set your desired speed. This car technology helps you maintain your preferred speed without constant throttle adjustments and continually checking your speedo.
Rain sensing wipers mean one less driver distraction for you to worry about. You can focus your full attention on driving, instead of constantly adjusting your wiper speed. Rain sensing wipers are standard on Corolla Levin ZR and Ultima models.
HID headlamps
Corolla Levin ZR and Ultima models are fitted with HID (High Intensity Discharge) Xenon headlamps that automatically switch on when it gets dark so you don't have to worry about switching your lights on and off.
