The Toyota Corolla has made its name as one of the greatest compact cars of all time. And while some would say that this marque has been overshadowed by competitors, it has continued to thrive. The 2018 Toyota Corolla is still not just one of the best cars in its class, it also remains as one of the most popular new cars in Egypt.
Exterior
The 2018 Corolla doesn’t have an exterior design that is as flashy as competitors such as the Honda Civic or the Ford Focus, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t look good. In fact, one can say that the Corolla’s design is understated yet well-made. The lines and proportions are just right, and it comes with a wide selection of colors, each of them well suited for this car.
Interior
Once you go inside, you’ll be pleasantly surprised with the amount of room it offers inside. There is more than enough headroom and legroom in both the front and rear compartments, and the seats are comfortable yet supportive. The dashboard is well sorted; everything from the revised gauges to the infotainment system gives the Corolla one of the neatest dashes on the market. Last but not least, the materials used in the interior are of great quality.
Features
Standard safety features for this car include anti-lock brakes, electronic brake assist, airbags, and an anti-theft alarm system. An automatic climate control system also comes standard, as well as a 6-speaker sound system. There are also more features available at the higher trim options, should you look for more.
Specs
The only available engine for the 2018 Corolla in Egypt is a 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine with a maximum output of 121 horsepower and 154 Nm of torque. These numbers give off an impression that it’s underpowered compared to its peers. Buyers have a choice between a manual and an automatic transmission. The performance of the Corolla is surprisingly good despite the relative lack of power compared to its peers.
Verdict
The 2018 Toyota Corolla is trying hard to overcome negative misconceptions while strengthening the things that made it popular in the first place, reliability included. Most would say that you can’t go wrong with getting a Corolla and unsurprisingly this statement holds true decades later.
