With over 43 million sold, the Toyota Corolla is the world’s top-selling car of all time, and with good reason. In 2018, the Corolla is back again packed with more features than ever, but one asset that stands out is its safety. When you add up all the amenities, the Corolla is the epitome of safety, earning a Top Safety Pick from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and a five-star rating from the National Highway Traffic. Here’s a look at all it has to offer in 2018.
Pre-Collision System With Pedestrian Detection
Even with due diligence, it’s not always easy to keep your eyes on the road. Children, your phone, and the radio are all distractions that can derail your trip and put your well-being in jeopardy. That’s what makes the Corolla’s pre-collision system with pedestrian detection a godsend. Using a camera and radar, it can detect objects in your way, apply the brakes as necessary, and enable steering assist to let you maneuver manually.
Automatic High Beams
Driving at night is always a bit more stressful than driving during the day, especially in rural or unfamiliar areas. Thanks to the Corolla’s automatic high beams, you can see more clearly without blinding oncoming motorists. Automatic high beams use a camera to detect the headlights and taillights of other vehicles, switching between high-beam and low-beam lights for maximum vision without distressing other drivers.
Thanks to a mix of passive, active, and driver-assist safety specs, Toyota’s flagship compact keeps you safe wherever you’re headed.
