2015 Toyota Corolla Overview

2015 Toyota Corolla Review. 2015 is here and so is the brand new 2015 Toyota Corolla. Due to Toyota's high standards, the Corolla is known for being a popular choice for consumers who are looking for a safe, fuel-efficient car that looks nice. However, how does the new 2015 Toyota stack up against other cars in its class? Find out in this in-depth review.

Interior

It's hard to find a review that doesn't praise the interior of the 2015 Toyota Corolla. The cabin is not only made of materials that are soft to the touch, but it has an attractive design. This vehicle offers spacious rear seating and has an available touch-screen audio system for an upper-class look. Some critics say, however, that some rival cars in the same price range offer more upscale materials in the cabin. As one would expect from a brand new vehicle, this Corolla comes loaded with a number of standard features, including a USB port and Bluetooth compatibility. There are also several optional features that owners can add to their cars, including automatic climate control, a proximity key sensor, navigation, a power moon roof and Toyota's Entune infotainment system. The Entune system not only offers a crisp graphical display but is extremely easy to use. Talk to your Toyota dealer about other options available. In terms of stereo, the Corolla comes standard with four powerful speakers. However, there is an optional six-speaker audio system that can be added. Once again, this is an option that can be discussed with a representative at a Toyota dealer. The seats of the 2015 Corolla come available in a leatherette style, and the vehicle has the ability to seat five adults comfortably. The driver seat is power adjustable, and both of the front seats are heated. Of course, there are different models of the Corolla available. The Corolla S comes with cloth seats. The Corolla is often praised for having extremely comfortable seats and offering a very impressive amount of legroom in the back. The only complaint that the Corolla gets is about rear headroom. People who are tall might feel there is a lack of available headroom.

Exterior

The exterior of the 2015 Toyota Corolla is where this car really shines. It comes standard with a rear spoiler and stylish LED headlights. The body of the vehicle sits on top of 17-inch alloy wheels, which help it stand out from its compact counterparts. This Corolla is about 3 inches longer than the 2014 Corolla. The body has a more athletic look to it, and a distinctive grill gives it a sporty look.

Mechanical

CVT cars have gotten a bad reputation because they don't offer much power. However, this Corolla doesn't seem to be as sluggish as other cars that offer similar transmissions. In terms of sheer power, all three trim levels of the Corolla are powered by the same 1.8-liter, four-chamber motor. It puts out around 132 horsepower at 6,000 RPM and can dish out 1128 pound-feet of torque at 4,400 RMP. The motor is also equipped with Dual Variable Valve Timing. This doesn't make the Corolla the most powerful car on the market, but it does help the Corolla offer fantastic gas mileage. Due to the 1.8-liter, four-chamber engine, the 2015 Corolla manages to get an average 30 mpg city, 42 mpg highway. The Corolla has a 13.2-gallon fuel tank, which is pretty large for its body size. The vehicle has kind of a “firm” ride, which results in some stiff handling.

Powertrain

Corolla vehicles have never been known for their sheer power, and the 2015 Corolla is no different. While it might not offer powerful driving, it's perfect for a commuting car. People looking for an engaging car to drive, might want to opt for the six-speed manual transmission version of the vehicle. There is also a four-speed automatic and a continuously variable transmission (CVT) version available, depending on the trim. A Toyota dealer will be able to help you find the right style of Corolla to get the transmission you want. Like most new Toyota cars, the 2015 Toyota Corolla comes with a three-year or 36,000-mile limited warranty. It also comes with a five-year or 60,000-mile powertrain warranty. Talk to a Toyota dealer for more information.

Safety

There are few cars that score as high on safety as the 2015 Toyota Corolla. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gave this vehicle a near-perfect safety rating: five out of five stars on “Overall Rating,” “Frontal Crash” and “Side Crash.” The only area in which it scored four stars was the “Rollover” rating, but this is still a very respectable score. Some of the safety features that the 2015 Corolla comes standard with are driver air bags, passenger air bags, rear head air bags, side head air bags, 4-wheel ABS, electronic stability control, brake assist, safety locks, daytime running lights and traction control. Together, these features offer one of the safest vehicles in its class.
