Toyota Corolla engines have been considered reliable and unpretentious since 1993. The Japanese know how to create designs that, with a small volume, have high power, while boasting minimal consumption. These are technically advanced and practical units with a long service life.
The Toyota Corolla 1.6 1ZR FE engine can be called the most popular and successful. This engine contains 4 cylinders, 16 valves, and a timing chain drive, which virtually eliminates problems with it. It will pass the first 200 thousand without any intervention, the main thing is to ensure that the oil consumption is not too high, change fluids on time (preferably after 10–15 thousand mileage) and fill in high-quality fuel, since the 1.6 1ZR FE engine is quite sensitive to impurities in gasoline.

Home ... Technical characteristics
Ground clearance (clearance) is the distance between the road surface and the lowest point of the central part of the vehicle. The higher this indicator, the lower the likelihood of damaging the bottom of the car when driving on a road surface of poor quality. The ground clearance of different Toyota Corolla models differs, but is rarely less than 150 mm.
Vehicles supplied to our country are adapted to Russian roads and have increased ground clearance, which allows them to more easily overcome uneven roads and various obstacles. If you compare the photos posted in foreign reviews, you will notice that the Corollas produced for European countries have low wing arches and fit the wheels. At the same time, in cars adapted for our country, even shock absorbers are visible in the clearance.
The ground clearance of various representatives of the Toyota Corolla model range varied depending on the body type, suspension used, and also on the number of drive wheels. Below are the ground clearance indicators of the most popular representatives of the Coroll model range:
- Toyota Corolla E-120 - 160 mm;
- Corolla Fielder CVT - 160 mm in front-wheel drive and 155 mm with all-wheel drive;
- Toyota Corolla Luxel - 170 mm;
- Toyota Corolla Sportivo - 160 mm;
- Toyota Corolla XRS - 145 mm in old models and 135 mm after restyling;
- Toyota Corolla Rumion - 135 mm in front-wheel drive models and 140 mm with all-wheel drive;
- Toyota Corolla 11th generation - 150 mm.

Toyota Corolla 150 technical characteristics: ground clearance, consumption, trunk volume
The development principle of the automotive industry is regular engineering improvement and full satisfaction of consumer requirements. The Japanese concern Toyota has followed this rule for more than one generation of cars. Toyota Corolla in the 150 body is no exception. The technical characteristics of the Toyota Corolla 2008 allowed the car to become a sales leader in the world market. The Toyota Corolla E150 took a strong position. The popular sedan was released in 2006 to mark its fortieth anniversary. In terms of technical equipment, the Corolla in the 150th body was very different from its predecessors.
Restyling Toyota Corolla 150
Engines
Engine Toyota 1NR-FE
The 2007 Toyota Corolla has been in great demand since its launch; car enthusiasts prefer this car, which has reliability, safety and a good set of technical characteristics.
Toyota designers and engineers care about car drivers. The car is equipped with everything necessary to ensure that trips at any time of the year remain comfortable and enjoyable.
To perform basic functions, the passenger car was equipped with 4-cylinder engines with low fuel consumption.
In Russia, Corolla E150 cars were officially sold only with gasoline engines and front-wheel drive. Cars with diesel engines were also supplied to Europe.
The 10th generation Toyota Corolla sedan could officially be purchased with three engines:
- 1.3 l, gasoline 1NR-FE 101 hp, manual transmission, cylinder diameter - 7.25 cm, piston stroke - 8 cm, compression ratio - 11.5 to 1, maximum torque - 132 Nm;
- 1.4 l, gasoline 4ZZ-FE 97 horsepower, manual transmission, cylinder diameter - 7.9 cm, piston stroke - 7.1 cm, compression ratio as in the 1.3-liter modification, maximum torque value - 130 Nm. ;
- 1.6 l, gasoline, 1ZR-FE 124 horses, manual transmission, automatic transmission or robot, cylinder diameter - 8 cm, piston stroke - 7.8 cm, compression ratio - 1
Choosing the best engine
Toyota Corolla 2008: the tenth modification of the legendary car
There are a minimum of common engine problems - a weak radiator and crankcase ventilation. The engine mounts wear out, but the silent parts are replaced separately - cheaply and effectively. The cylinder block is sensitive to overheating.
The ZZ series engines were initially heavily criticized by fans for their visually unreliable chain and piston design. Time has shown that the chain actually runs for 150 thousand kilometers and now costs a penny. Sometimes knocking noises appeared due to failures of the Corolla phase regulators, which they learned how to repair long ago. The service life of the piston group is 250 thousand kilometers, which is not enough for Japanese reliability, but excellent in comparison with competitors. Owners who change oil frequently achieve longer service life.
The 1ZZ-FE engine was constantly being improved, so take a closer look at the youngest cars possible. 3ZZ and 4ZZ lost oil consumption when changing the catalyst at the right time, replacing oil seals and cleaning the intake.
Among the common problems of the series are valve seats, which cannot be bored out, and if there is significant wear, they will have to be replaced with cast iron ones. Cast iron will last for many years, even if overheated. After 200 thousand, the valve guides wear out, which promises a very difficult repair.
NZ series engines have the same problems, and they were also installed only on Japanese cars. These motors run smoother and do not require valve adjustment. Therefore, we recommend that the buyer choose any Corolla E120 engine that he likes in terms of power, the problems are not so serious, and in the global case, contract engines are cheap.
Give up diesel engines, the engineers clearly missed the mark here.

Dimensions of Toyota Corolla
Ways to enlarge
In order to change the standard ground clearance on a Toyota Corolla, some car owners install special spacers and change the chassis elements, this allows the body to be raised slightly. There are models on which a special suspension is installed, which is called air suspension, in which, thanks to special elastic pneumatic elements, you can adjust the distance between the road and the body. This eliminates the need to increase ground clearance by installing special spacers and modifying the suspension. Special reinforced racks are also installed, which add rigidity and increase ground clearance by up to 2 centimeters.
Installing spacers
In order to install special attachments, you need to do the following:
- We prepare all the necessary tools;
- Use a jack to lift the rear beam and remove the wheels;
- The rear seats fold down. The casing is moved to the side;
- The lower fastening at the rack is unscrewed;
- The upper mounting nut of the shock absorber is unscrewed;
- The fasteners are unscrewed from the trunk side;
- The stand is removed and the springs are clamped with a vice or using special pullers;
- The rod of the shock absorber is unscrewed, after which the strut is disassembled;
- A spacer is installed;
- The rack is being assembled and installed.
Installation in the front of the car is carried out in a similar way.
There are several types of air suspension installed on the Toyota Corolla:
- Lade - constant and the lowest ground clearance;
- Offroad and Straken – automatic and adjustable;
- X'tra is the permanent and largest DP.
To maintain the required distance above the road, cars with such a suspension are equipped with a special height sensor that reads the distance between the body and the axles. When the clearance changes, the automation increases or decreases the pressure in the suspension, bringing it to the desired value.
The advantages of such a suspension are as follows:
- Increased load capacity;
- The car feels more confident when cornering;
- When braking, force adjustment takes into account the load on the wheels;
- If used correctly it will last a long time.
The very first European E110 models had a height from the road of 150 millimeters, which caused a lot of discontent among our compatriots. And insufficient rigidity reduced this parameter by about two centimeters, which led to rapid wear of all the node systems that were located under the bottom. Therefore, models with a stiffer suspension were specially produced for our market. Subsequent generations in the 120 body, which began to be produced from 2000 to 2007, had a clearance of 16 centimeters.
The version in the E150 body had a different size of the parameter in question, it differed depending on the engine:
- 1.8 liter engines had 14.7 centimeters;
- 1.6 and 1.3 had 15 centimeters.
The height of 15 centimeters also remained on modifications of the Corolla in the E170 body.
Standard Ground Clearance - Toyota 4Runner Forum
| Junior member Registration: Nov 2009 Location: San Francisco Posts: 7 | Stock ground clearance I recently purchased a 4th generation 4Runner and took it for some light off-roading. I was surprised that I heard so much scraping underneath. It looks like the front skid plate falls very low to the ground and scrapes everything. I've noticed that a lot of people also remove the stock running boards (now I understand the reason). Overall, I'm surprised the 4Runner doesn't have more ground clearance in stock form. My previous truck was an Isuzu Trooper 4x4 and that vehicle handled most dirt roads very well. Do you need a lift to go off-road in a 4Runner? |

| Senior member Registration: Oct 2008 Location: So. Cali Posts: 2,299 | I ran my 3rd gen stock without a lift off road for a year, hitting difficult trails. As Ty mentioned, the approach angle front bumper is usually a bigger issue on the 4th gen. The front bumper on mine is a little higher and scratches less. I also removed the pegs after my first ride as they were rubbing a bit on some things. If you're going to be running a significant amount of tires I'd probably suggest a 2-3" lift, however if it's once in a blue moon then Thai would be right on the money with a 1" spacer and the next larger tire (ie i.e. from 265/70 to 265/75 in most cases will give an additional half) __________________ 99 SR5 V6 4WD - just started SOLD 1998 T4R SR5 All-Pro CO, UCA and Slider, SS 1.2 DIY Rear Bumper, Aussie Locker and Gen 1 Roll Bar.

| Junior member Registration: Nov 2009 Location: San Francisco Posts: 7 | Sorry for the newbie questions. I did some searching and found some conflicting/confusing information so I hope people can clear things up for me: Does the OME suspension kit highlight the front suspension components? I've read some conflicting reports. Some say there is no significant stress since the lift is less than 3 inches, but I have seen some OME suspension kits with a diff spacer and/or upper control arm replacement? Also, don't taller tires hurt your speedometer? |

| Senior member Registration: Oct 2008 Location: So. Cali Posts: 2,299 | IMO if you have it set below 3" then it's fine without resetting the diff, but it won't hurt to put it in either. I have it set at 3" and I'm using the diff. The available kits usually don't add much more stress on their own, using the vehicle after the lift does add stress. Replacing the upper control arms isn't necessary on most lifts, it's only when you move to the max height adjustment on the Coil tires that you can maximize your ball joint angles. In this case, a secondary market UCA with Uniball will fix it. Yes, upgrading to a higher profile tire (larger size) does give you the speedometer a little off. I went from the factory 265/70/16 tires to 285/75/16 tires, which are two inches larger. My speedometer reads 70 mph when my GPS tracks me at 73-74. __________________ 99 SR5 V6 4WD - just started SOLD 1998 T4R SR5 All-Pro CO, UCA and sliders, DIY SS 1.2 rear bumper, Aussie Locker rear bumper only and Gen 1 roll bar modification. |

| Senior member Registration: Oct 2008 Location: So. Cali Posts: 2,299 | Quote: Message from Thai I know I'm in the minority...but I believe any lift will stress your suspension and reduce its durability. First, the life of the CV shoes will be significantly reduced. If moving with minimal (1-2) lifts designed to work each individual part is not a real problem or significant stress. For the OP - you need to really evaluate how you plan to use your car and make a decision based on that. Knowing that whatever you decide, there are pros and cons to each. __________________ 99 SR5 V6 4WD - just started SOLD 1998 T4R SR5 All-Pro CO, UCA and sliders, DIY SS 1.2 rear bumper, Aussie Locker rear bumper only and Gen 1 roll bar modification.

| Member Registration: Jul 2009 Location: Southern Arizona Age: 40 Posts: 516 | I understand the concern about the ground clearance, but with careful driving it's not that bad. That said, I would still like to increase it a bit, but like you, I'm concerned about fiddling with the front end geometry. From my research (mostly here) I have found that increasing the tire size is a more conservative way to improve ground clearance (assuming the tire fits without friction). However, the tire will only provide an extra half-inch of clearance. I think the next most conservative mod after this would be beefier skid plates. I have also found that if you are doing a lift, a complete suspension replacement (coil and shock) is better than a spacer or just a coil. The problem with lowering the front differential is that it can negatively impact the safety of your vehicle in the event of an accident ( I'm not quite sure how you object). __________________ |

| Senior member Registration date: Oct 2006 Location: Pittsburgh Posts: 2,828 | Quote: Message from Thai This topic has been discussed many times. The standard ground clearance on a stock 4wd 4runner (4th gen) is 8.3 inches. The bottom edge of the front skid plate is lower than 8.3 inches, but the actual skid is about 8.3 inches off the ground. This is the lowest point for the 4runner. If you want something soft, then I would recommend the 1" front lift + FJ Cruiser springs (+/- shocks). This will give you more front clearance without negatively impacting the durability and reliability of your front suspension components. Of course, the quick fix is to install larger tires. I seem to recall a recent conversation where you said you would recommend a locker before doing a lift.... | |

| Junior member Registration: Nov 2009 Location: San Francisco Posts: 7 | Thanks for the feedback guys. I still don't quite understand the elevator situation. I found a thread that says diff spacers are not needed (one member stated that he emailed the spacer manufacturer who told him they were not needed - which begs the question why is he selling/selling them??): drop in difference. necessary? Then I found another thread where a member installed diff spacers with his 3" lifter and was still having trouble loading the CV: installed the lifter and now the CV is leaking pretty bad Reading threads like this and your replies here, it seems that no matter HOW you lift (whether it's suspension spacers or a full replacement kit), you're bound to run into problems with the CV joints/shoes. That's pretty disheartening, since stock clearance is kind of disappointing to me, as I came to another truck that had a larger clearance stock and therefore did not require any modifications. |

| Member Registration: Jul 2009 Location: Southern Arizona Age: 40 Posts: 516 | Techno is the member who sent the email. By installing a drop differential you lose the one inch of clearance you got from the lifter, you change the driveshaft angles and potentially impact safety. Of course it's a trade-off, but you have to be reasonably sure that there will be some benefit to it. __________________ |

| Senior member Registration date: Oct 2006 Location: Pittsburgh Posts: 2,828 | The bottom line is that you will get far more benefit from the lift than the hassle. There are literally hundreds and hundreds of guys out there with all kinds of lifts. Some have problems, others don't. Those who do so rarely, if ever, consider the problem serious enough to require a return to the warehouse. For my lift on my 3rd gen I got almost 3 inches of lift in the front, the differential didn't drop and my shoes are still fine after 18 months. I can see where the ribs are touching, but there is no sign of deterioration. I make sure they are clean from off-roading and I occasionally spray them with WD40 to keep them soft and help prevent them from drying out and cracking. For me, heavy lifting hasn't caused any problems. As Tia mentioned earlier, I think the first thing you should consider is upsizing your tires. Larger tires increase ground clearance, suspension lifts do nothing for the car's lowest point, the rear differential. __________________ I had a 2000 and a 2008 SR5 4x4. |

Chassis
The suspension of the Toyota Corolla 150 is well balanced in terms of comfort and handling. Its components withstand the bad Russian roads. The picture is spoiled by the stabilizer bushings, which last about 30,000 km. In the future, it is recommended to change them to reinforced ones with a longer service life. The front supports, made of plastic, also turned out to be weak. They start knocking after 30-40 thousand km. Subsequently, measures were taken and the support material was improved and the number of complaints was reduced.
The steering was also not up to par. After 30-40 thousand km, both the steering shaft and the steering rack were replaced. The sign is knocking and feedback in the steering wheel when driving over uneven surfaces.
Specifications
The technical equipment of the Toyota Corolla 150 boasts a high level. The front suspension is based on MacPherson struts, while the rear is represented by a torsion beam. The design allows you to feel confident on the road and provides maximum comfort. Numerous reviews on the Internet prove that the manufacturer managed to achieve the maneuverability of the sedan.
It is worth noting that cars released in 2011 differ from previous generations. A new body appears, an updated interior, and, most importantly, a semi-independent suspension. The front is represented by the MacPherson L-lever type. A stabilizer bar is also installed here. The rear part received a bump absorber on the road. In practice, this particular model is considered the most reliable, since it can withstand more than 100 thousand kilometers without repair.
Toyota Corolla 150 was produced exclusively in a sedan body with the following parameters:
- length – 4.54 meters;
- width – 1.76 meters;
- height – 1.47 meters;
- wheelbase - 2.6 meters.
The ground clearance in the new model was 15 centimeters, and the tire size was increased to 16 inches. Thanks to the increase in size, the luggage compartment has grown to 450 liters. You can often see upgraded ground clearance using spacers for shock absorbers. But there is also a flip side to the coin - a decrease in maneuverability and stability at high speeds. When decreasing, there is an increase in controllability.
The sedan is considered a family car, since the Toyota Corolla 150 is equipped with modern systems, both passive and active safety. Already in the basic configuration, ABS, supplemented by EBD, appears. In addition, there is an emergency brake booster, side and front airbags. As the configuration grows, their number increases. Elegance offers curtain airbags and a knee airbag. It is worth noting that this assembly received the highest rating in crash tests. Summing up the research, we can say that the car has become safer compared to the previous generation, both for passengers and pedestrians.
The Russian version of the popular car received only two gasoline engines. The minimum capacity is 1.33 liters and has a capacity of 101 horsepower. The second, the most powerful, reaches a horsepower of 124, and the volume increases to 1.6 liters. Both a manual and an automatic transmission can be installed with it. On the secondary market there are also examples with MMT, which in fact represents a robotic box. Unlike classical “mechanics”, the robot independently selects a gear and operates the clutch. In practice, the “robot” has proven itself to be an unreliable unit, so the version with a full-fledged “automatic” remains optimal for purchase.
Engineers paid special attention to consumption. With a minimum manual engine, consumption is 5.8 liters in the city; outside the city, consumption is reduced to 4.9 liters
The older one in similar conditions shows consumption of 6.9 and 5.8 liters. The automatic transmission slightly increases the “appetite” to 7.2 and 6.0 liters per “hundred”.
Note that for many generations the family has been distinguished by the simplicity and reliability of all components, therefore all elements have a high service life and even when moving to the “used” section they remain in demand and do not cause problems for the new owner
When choosing used cars, you should pay attention to a powerful engine and classic gearboxes - automatic or manual. On the market, in addition to the 150th version, you can find the Toyota Corolla 140 series, which was produced for the American market and was equipped with 1.8 and 2.4 liter engines
In addition to this, there are differences in appearance - DRLs appear, a pair of foglights appear at the rear, and the radiator grille changes.
Engine characteristics
Models of these engines have been produced since the early eighties of the twentieth century and are still being manufactured.
Most Corollas were equipped with the 1.4 liter engine of the 1ZR FE model. These engines come with an automatic transmission, although some modifications that can be seen in Russia have a robotic gearbox. Cars usually came with robots until 2009. Then supplies stopped and they switched to automatic transmission.
Technical data
Let's consider some of the motors, since there is not enough time for everything. Let's start with the old 2 E. This engine had a volume of 1.3 liters. It appeared in 1984. Among car enthusiasts, he became famous as a workhorse.
It can be found in the body of the Toyota Corolla E 60. The timing mechanism drives the belt. The gearbox is mechanical. The cylinder head was installed with a 12-valve. The cylinders measure 73 mm, and the piston travels 77.4 mm.
Another type of motor is 4 E FE. The engine volume is also 1.3 liters. But it was invented in 1989. This is a four-cylinder power unit with an aluminum cylinder head. Although the block itself is made of cast iron. It also became famous among car enthusiasts as a reliable workhorse. Some engines are still in Corollas today, and people drive them. The model with the FTE brand of this series of power units was equipped with a turbocharger.

The 4ZZ FE is a 1.6-liter Corolla engine. It is similar in design to the 3 ZZ FE model. The cylinder block and head are made entirely of aluminum. Only the timing mechanism is driven by a chain, and not a belt, as on earlier engines. The power unit lasts longer than the service life declared by the manufacturer. There is a VVTi phase regulator at the inlet. If the chain is not replaced in time, the shock from it will bend the valve.
Fuel consumption
Fuel consumption for Corolla engines, like all small cars, is normal and no different. On the highway, power units consume from 4 to 7 liters, depending on the Corolla engine model. In the city, their fuel consumption increases by a liter or two. But car owners complain about a serious increase only when some kind of engine failure occurs.
Engine oil consumption is also low. An increase in engine lubricant is observed only in the event of burnout of gaskets or leakage of oil seals. Therefore, these engines from Corolla are considered practically indestructible.
Attention! Experienced mechanics say that if you pay attention to engines and go for service every 10 thousand kilometers, then the car owner will not have any problems with them. Fuel consumption will always be 4-5 liters per 100 kilometers.
Motor modifications
Here are just some of the power units that were installed on the Toyota Corolla:
- 2E;
- 4E FE;
- 4ZZ FE;
- 4A FE;
- 2C E;
- 3ZZ FE.
These engines were installed on both two-door and four-door sedans. Some of them came straight away with a manual transmission, others, especially recent engines, came with an automatic transmission or a CVT.
The 4A C engine had the smallest volume. This car was considered economical, and the volume of the power unit was 1.2 liters. They were equipped with the fourth generation Toyota Corolla.

The last Corolla cars in the E 170 body had 1NZ FE engines. These are the latest developments of our time. However, according to experienced mechanics, they are not as durable as motors from the twentieth century.
Resource
Previously, the engine life of a Toyota Corolla car was prescribed by the manufacturer at 300 thousand kilometers and corresponded to it or exceeded it by several hundred thousand kilometers. Now the manufacturer writes 250 thousand kilometers, but the engine can go a maximum of 200 thousand before the first major overhaul. Some Corolla power units cannot be overhauled due to design features.
Exterior of Toyota Corolla 2008
The body of the Toyota Corolla 2008 is very similar to that of a more advanced model: the Camry. The front part of the car is made in such a daring, even “cat-like” style with an elongated “muzzle”. The radiator grille has two horizontal stripes with a clear resemblance to an air conditioner.
The head optics have an elongated shape, still emphasizing the “cat” style of the body. Three air intakes, two of which seem to be filled with honeycombs, are separated by a thin strip of part of the bumper. The hood is smooth, like an evening lake surface.
Behind the car you can find headlights protruding outward from its body. They are divided in half by the trunk lid.
The length of the Toyota Corolla 2008 is 4.6 meters, width – 1.78 meters, height – 1.47 meters. Ground clearance is at 150 mm.

Toyota Corolla 2018 interior
The interior of the car is distinguished by its improved quality and thoughtful equipment. Thus, the following elements of the interior of an innovative car stand out:
- Stylish finish. The material used is artificial, but good quality. It can be not only synthetic soft leather, but also fabrics that are resistant to abrasion and fading in the sun. The upholstery goes well with the durable plastic that covers the panels in the cabin.
- Optimal ergonomics. A high level of usability of the interior - a modern control panel of not massive size, suitable for the class of car, comfortable seats, an angle of the seats for the seat. Adjustment and more.
- Wide space. Inside, the car feels much more spacious than it might seem from the outside.
- Electronic equipment. The console is equipped with an on-board computer and convenient screens.
- Small but nice tuning. The cabin has additional devices for holding smartphones, tablets, and there are also special cup holders.
- The panel also has an inertial unit built into it, which controls the climate in the cabin.
- There are no frills in the tunnel between the front seats. Everything is extremely simple - cup holders and keys for controlling the glass fence.
- There are 3 seats behind the front two seats. Some trim levels have armrests separating the three rear seats. But not all series have such equipment.
To this we should also add one constant factor - the trunk in terms of internal dimensions has practically remained the same. Only increased by a small distance - 452 liters. There are no thin panels on the doors. So why does the car seem so spacious inside? It turns out that high ceilings give this effect.

In Russia, the car was sold with only two engines - 1.6 and 1.8 liters, but in fact the line is very extensive. There are many imported cars with different engines, so there is everything on the market. In order not to overload with unnecessary information, we have combined the characteristics of the motors in the table.
The market is mainly filled with the 1.5-liter 1NZ-FE, 1.4-liter 4ZZ-FE, and 1.6-liter 3ZZ-FE engines. The remaining units are available on used models, but in much smaller quantities.
The pair was offered with a 5-speed manual and an old 4-speed Aisin automatic. A 6-speed manual is rare. All Toyota Corolla E120 are front-wheel drive; Japanese models with all-wheel drive, connected mechanically or hydraulically depending on the gearbox, were rarely imported.
The suspension lives up to its reputation for simplicity - independent MacPherson struts at the front and a semi-independent torsion beam at the rear. The braking system has finally become completely disc and more electronic assistants have been added: ABS, EBD, BAS. The steering rack is lightened by electric power steering; cars with power steering are rare.
Technical characteristics of the 10th generation Corolla
Known for its high-quality engines, Toyota has equipped the 2008 Corolla with six types of engines. All but one use gasoline as fuel. Each of the engines below had 4 in-line cylinders.
- The first of the presented engines had a volume of 1.3 liters. Its maximum power is 101 hp. with a peak torque of 132 N/m. Gasoline consumption is approximately 5.8 liters.
- The second engine has a volume of 0.1 liters more, but the power figures have dropped to 97 hp. (130 N/m). Fuel consumption in this case is at the level of 6.9 liters.
- Next comes a 1.5-liter engine, the power of which is already 110 (140 N/m). The remaining two gasoline engines received a volume of 1.6 and 1.8 liters with a corresponding power of 124 hp. (157 N/m) and 132 hp (174 N/m). All three of these engines consume about 7.2 liters of gasoline.
- The only diesel engine was produced with a volume of 2 liters and produced power at the level of 126 hp, reaching 300 N/m of torque. The fuel consumption of this engine is 5.3 liters.

The same wide choice was provided to consumers in the field of transmission equipment. The Toyota Corolla could be equipped with a six-speed manual, four-speed automatic or CVT. The latter type of transmission improves the quality of gear shifting (the process becomes smoother), thereby increasing the level of comfort while driving on the road.
The car's suspension is beyond praise. In the front part of the body there is an independent structure of the MacPherson type, or, in other words, a multi-link and independent spring. The manufacturer placed a torsion beam behind it.
The vehicle weighs approximately 1.3 tons, depending on the type of equipment selected.
The body is made in such a way as to soften side and frontal impacts. This was ultimately noted by numerous crash tests, which gave the Toyota Corolla the highest score in this indicator.
conclusions
For 150 Toyota Corolla bodies, a gap of up to 150 mm is typical. But for a 120 body it could be 160 or 170 mm. The best way to increase ground clearance on a Toyota Corolla. This is to install struts, which cost less than a support and spring.
Toyota Corolla. This is a class C car, one of the oldest and best-selling models of the Japanese manufacturer. The first generation model appeared in 1966 and quickly gained popularity in many countries around the world. In particular, according to the sales rating, the first Corolla was able to get into the Guinness Book of Records. Data from the 1974 show.
At that time, total sales of Toyota Corolla exceeded 25 million units, which became an absolute world record for one model. In 2006, Toyota celebrated the 40th anniversary of the Corolla. At that time, the tenth generation Corolla was released, and total sales (over 40 years) exceeded 35 million vehicles.
The famous first generation Toyota Corolla rolled off the assembly line in 1980. Many generations have changed since then, and today the 11th generation Corolla is in production. The car is known in sedans and trucks.
The engine range consists of 1.3 and 1.6 liter engines with a displacement of 99 and 122 liters. With. According.
conclusions
For the 150 Toyota Corolla body, the typical ground clearance is 150 mm. But for the 120th body it can be 160 or 170 mm. The best option for increasing ground clearance on a Toyota Corolla is to install spacers, which are low cost compared to a strut and spring.
One of the important parameters when operating a Toyota Corolla is ground clearance.
This indicator is very relevant on our roads, so when choosing a car this factor can be decisive.
Some car owners, in order to increase ground clearance, carry out a so-called suspension lift, which includes replacing some chassis elements. An excessive increase in this parameter can lead to the fact that the car’s handling at high speed will become worse, and parts will wear out faster.
Toyota Corolla Altis Ground clearance MM, industrial price, sedan with maximum
- Ground clearance of Toyota Corolla Altis in mm 175 mm
- Ground clearance of Toyota Corolla Altis in inches 6.89 inches
- Ground clearance of Toyota Corolla Altis in cm 17.50 cm
- Toyota Corolla Altis leg clearance 0.57 feet
This flagship sedan from Toyota has an impressive ground clearance of approximately 175 mm. Most Indian roads, including those on tier 2 and tier 3 city streets, are riddled with potholes. Therefore, a sedan with such an impressive ground clearance will be very useful in Indian conditions. The company has also kept this car's center of gravity within acceptable limits during its design, which means improved handling, especially at high speed.
Of the main competitors of the Toyota Corolla Altis, only the Fiat Linea with 185 mm has the best ground clearance. Other competitors like the Hyundai 4S Fluidic Verna with 170mm ground clearance, Chevrolet Cruze with 165mm ground clearance, Ford Fiesta with 156mm ground clearance and Volkswagen Vento with 168mm ground clearance have less ground clearance than the Toyota Corolla Altis.
Toyota Corolla Altis ground clearance comparison
Compare the ground clearance of the Toyota Corolla Altis with its closest competitors. The ground clearance of the Toyota Corolla Altis directly competes with the Hyundai 4S Fluidic Verna, Fiat Linea, Ford Fiesta and Volkswagen Vento. To put it bluntly, any ground clearance that crosses 170mm is considered decent, whereas if the car's ground clearance is less than 160mm, it is not suitable for Indian roads. Another thing to consider when making a purchasing decision is that cars with a ground clearance of less than 160mm will be suitable as long as the intended driving terrain is uneven. Consider what kind of roads you have in your area and during your expected visits and then reduce your purchase.
