Toyota Corolla Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2018–2023) — Twelfth Generation
The twelfth-generation Toyota Corolla offers estate, sedan and five-door hatchback bodies to suit different routines. Your choice of powertrain and equipment matters alongside body style, especially if you divide your driving between town and longer trips.
Toyota Corolla engine choices include the front-wheel-drive 1.2 MT estate, whose manual transmission gives you direct control over gear changes, and the front-wheel-drive 1.8 CVT hybrid estate for automatic convenience. The gasoline 1.2 CVT hatchback provides an all-wheel-drive example, so body style alone does not tell you which drivetrain is fitted.

Sense and Active are Toyota Corolla trim levels offered with the gasoline, front-wheel-drive 1.5 M15A-FKS CVT sedan. They identify equipment configurations within that technical version. When choosing, check the actual car’s comfort, multimedia and driver-assistance features against your priorities, since the engine designation alone does not establish its equipment.
The hybrid estate versions named 2ZR-FXE and 1.8 2ZR-FXE use a metal hydride battery to support electric assistance. In everyday driving, this stores recovered braking energy for reuse without routine plug-in charging. Toyota Corolla battery capacity therefore serves a different purpose here from the large energy reserve in a fully electric car.
