Toyota Corolla

Design

• The entryway introduces a cabin with a focus on quality materials, rational designs, and practicality as a family brand, which have been the Toyota Corolla hallmark interiors throughout the years.
• Toyota has retained its uncluttered design philosophy where soft-touch surfaces are used on the high-contact areas, which are accented by metallic or piano black trim parts to increase perceived value. The simplicity of the dashboard design gives the impression of spaciousness and organized setting, minimizing the visual clutter.
• Five-seat configurations come as standard along with seat upholstering specifications that are either premium fabrics or leather depending on the level of specification. The cushion softening is also comfortable in the long journeys besides offering the adequate bolstering.
• The driving experience is enhanced with the use of higher trims that are all wrapped in leather in the steering wheel. Each of the models comes with the Toyota trademark split-folding rear bench that can be extended to 60:40 folding when needed, and this increases the cargo flexibility.
• The driver-oriented center console has the key controls placed in their intuitive reach to ensure minimal distraction and maximize the hassle-free driving experience that Toyota has been building.

Driving Position

• From the steering wheel, drivers of height 5.3 feet and above have a relatively high seating position that offers commanding views devoid of the bulky size and fuel cost that SUV versions offer.
• Front seats can be raised or lowered to give the occupant his or her favorite driving position and the steering wheel can be tilted and telescoped to suit different sizes and tastes.
• Large glazing and slender A-pillars provide panoramic views that create confidence during manoeuvre of the vehicle in narrow parking spots or through traffic snarls.
• The interior finish has a combination of the fabric surface and dark colors to create a modern and high-end feel that goes above and beyond the expectations of the segment.

Passenger Comfort

• The rear-seat placement is sufficient to take on the everyday family transportation, seating two mid-sized adults and three with relative comfort with a decent amount of legroom and headroom despite the curved roof.
• The automatic climate control systems (variant dependent) ensure optimum cabin temperatures with dedicated rear vents, allowing the passengers sitting on the back bench to enjoy the same level of comfort during the scorching summer in Saudi Arabia.
• The controls mounted on the steering wheel are also intuitive and give easy access to the audio features, phone use, and any driver assistance features that are available without having to touch the center stack.
• The instrument cluster is also a combination of analogue and digital displays providing the essential information like fuel economy, speed, and safety system in clear and easy to read displays.
• They come with standard power windows and auto-folding mirrors with cloth or leather seat cover (based on the trim, it will be either cloth or leather) and large passenger rooms and assisting comfort reduce fatigue when traveling over long distances.

Storage

• The Toyota engineers have included convenient storage facilities all over the cabin to make it practical and easily usable on a daily basis.
• The center console has a cooled compartment that is ideal in keeping drinks cool during drives. There are large door pockets to put in 1-litre water bottles, and a glove box that has a decent size to hold the documents and other smaller items. Several cup holders and clever cubbies have everyday necessities grouped and placed close by.

Boot Space

• The Cargo capacity is one of the most practical advantages of the Toyota Corolla with 470 liters allowing the weekly shopping trips, family outing, or sports equipment to fit without compromising.
• The rear can be folded into a 60:40 split with the seatback folding considerably to provide a tremendous amount of space when carrying bulkier goods as well as allowing rear occupants to sit in when necessary.

Toyota has revised the Corolla’s styling with a more modern and aggressive impression on the road, without altering the proportions of a sedan.

• Front end: The front has a pronounced mesh grille finished in a shiny black with tasteful chrome finish which gives it an upscale look that makes it stand out among economy competitors.

• High-tech light: LED headlamp clusters with sharp edges provide an ideal level of visibility in the dark, giving the front a technical and modern appearance. The design maintains consistency with matching LED taillights.

• Urban-friendly size: The Toyota Corolla measures 4,630 mm long, 1,780 mm wide, and 1,435 mm height, thus manages to squeeze into the busy traffic in the city streets pushing aside the bigger sedans while offering a comfortable interior space.

• Refined side view: Profile is gracefully modest with subtle body shaping, flared wheel arches and power-adjustable side mirrors, which have turn signal indicators for increased safety.

• Intentional wheels: The base trims have 15-inch alloy wheels (195/ 65R15) while the higher trims have 16-inch designs with 205/ 55R16 tires that ensure better grip and enhanced visual effect.

• Sophisticated rear: The modernized back-end is defined by new LED lighting signatures, a slight integrated spoiler, and sophisticated contours of the bumpers which provides the modern touch to the car.

Note: Small antennas keep rooflines clean, but with connectivity at all times and well-considered design details, overall form and functionality are improved.

The Toyota Corolla 2025 has three different powertrains that are optimized to fit a particular priority, which may be either economy, power, or even environmental consideration.

Ride and Handling

• The satisfaction test drives in diverse Saudi road conditions showed the suspension tuning with comfort rather than sportiness, which Corolla buyers desire and appreciate.
• The suspension set naturally accommodates road irregularities, speed bumps, and rough roads with remarkable calmness, separating occupants of crashing bumps and providing sufficient control of the body over corners.
• Each of the three engine options is quite suitable to the local driving habits. The 1.5 liter has sufficient city travel performance, the 2.0 liter has sure high-way passing power and the hybrid has the power to perform stop and go traffic with great fuel mileage.
• The TNGA-C base on which the Corolla was developed uses low center of gravity that brings more stability at curves and emergency maneuvers without sacrificing the comfortable ride the family values.
• The steering electric powering set-up is designed to be light and easy to operate best in an urban setting where manoeuvring on the road and parking is required, over the communicative response that driving enthusiasts prefer- again a calculated decision and in line with target customer priorities.

Out of eight possible options, we single out the 2.0L XLI as a model that offers the best value to most Saudi consumers. The 19.8 km /L fuel economy of this variant is remarkable, and the result is huge savings in costs throughout the ownership period, especially to high-mileage drivers.

There are also additional important driver assistance technologies not available on non-hybrid models that Toyota Safety Sense introduces. Although it is not the lowest entry point, the fuel economy of the hybrid, its hi-tech safety system, and high resale value have long-term value that is strong enough to counter the slight premium over the standard models. Discover the latest 2026 Corolla’s innovations — check out its new features and tech here.
